I have this mental list of places that I must try just because every time I drive by there’s this crazy line out the door. It’s just one of those things were I need to know what all the fuss is about. Ray says that he’s been to Wailana a few years back and that I would love the prices but hate the food. I was sold on the cheap price part and as for the food, I’ll be the judge of that.

We came here one day and I was like sweet, no line. Usually, when we drive by there’s this ridiculous line out the door. However, this is what we walked into. Apparently, the line ended at the door so we had to squeeze in and stand to the side.

The place is a lot bigger once inside and is even bigger than the room you see here. Once you get to the end of this room, you walk in through the open way and there’s a whole other room, which is where we were seated.

This is the same room, but just to the right of it.

The glass is half full because Ray was thirsty and impatient. This puny glass of chocolate milk cost us $1.85. It was like two big gulps. Rip off.

Ray ordered Strawberry Waffle with Whipped Cream, $6.60. As you can see this is what a real waffle should look like. Not like the weak waffles from Eggs and Things. Ray was happy with his pick and so was I, since I took several bites of it throughout our meal.

He also ordered one Egg, $2.35. They were scrambled and not layered like how some restaurants make them. They were good eggs.

Shane got French Toast, $6.95. These were good but not amazing, just really basic tasting French toast.


I ordered the Pancake Sandwich, $6.35. It was sausage, bacon or ham and one egg with two buttermilk pancakes. As you can see I chose sausage and had my eggs done over hard. Again, everything was good. I put my egg between my pancakes and sliced up my sausage and places each slice ever so gently between each pancake as well so it was like pigs and dead chicken babies in a blanket. Yum!
Overall, we were all quite content with our order. As for the prices, I have to say we were disappointed. Ray and Shane have been here before so they were able to compare prices from the last time they were here and the whole time they were deciding on what to eat all they kept saying was, “wow, the prices went up.” I know it sounds like I’m being a little too hard since the prices were decent, but I had been so pumped up on how cheap this place was. I was expecting like $3.99 plates you know. Apparently, that’s what they’re known for, that and being open till the wee hours of the night. How can you not appreciate places that are so accommodating to the drunks. Like ugly people, food always looks and taste better when drunk. It’s funny because I mention it to my coworkers that I had made a visit here one morning and Sara goes, “oh, you should never go there unless your drunk.” And then Brian concurs by saying, “yeah, don’t go there unless your ready to have some drunken food. Food is so good there when your drunk.” There you have it folks, don’t come here unless your drunk. That was one mistake we wont make again.
