The Brown Box Eatery

Easily my favourite breakfast joint in town. Their donuts and waffles taste freshly made and the breakfast foods/meat are to match. Open early so I can bring co-workers or even get fresh donuts for the crew before I head into the office. Convenience is huge too, with the times being early, and that's going to win every time in my mind. Been here quite a few times and I haven't once left unsatisfied with my order. Give this place a shot, they'll treat you with friendly staff and a smile.

I came in for a late breakfast on a Saturday morning and found the place to be really clean and inviting, the staff friendly, and the menu to have sufficient variety. Round it out with good food and it got the highest rating from me. N.B., apparently they're all about donuts, which I did not try, but look forward to. Update - 9/23/18 I've just dropped my 5-star rating to 4 because, though the food is still good (I've had the donuts… do it), the staff are just as nice, and the place is still inviting, apparently my first time around it wasn't busy. I've gone a few times since then and when it's busy it's really easy to notice how understaffed they are. Orders come out slowly and if you order donuts along with regular breakfast they'll likely come out at different times (20 minutes passed between me getting my donut and getting an omelette once). Once I even got the wrong order. I wish it was better managed.

Don't waste your time. I had high hopes for this place but it was the biggest disappointment ever. As you can see, the place wasn't even busy when we were there but we waited over 40 MINUTES for some freaking eggs and bacon. This wasn't just us, it took that long for everyone there. The place is self- service (you get your own drinks, utensils, etc) and all the flatware is disposable so they didn't have to worry about waiting tables or washing dishes. There were at least five people in the back so I have no idea why it took so long. When we actually DID get our food, the eggs were just plain (no salt, pepper or flavor) and made like a pancake. The bacon was just meh. I could have done a better job just cooking at home which is saying something because I'm not a good cook. The only saving grace of this place were the donuts which were pretty good and came out fairly quick. I would have just left after 20 minutes of waiting but we had already paid for everything. 😒

The Donuts are Fantastic! The owners are super friendly and always fess up to their mistakes. While they have made mistakes on two of my four visits, it resulted in extra donuts free of charge. We recommend the omelletes and coffee. On our last visit we saw a group of 8 men all eating the chicken fried steak, so i will probably try that next time. Did i mention the donuts are good?
