Service

I feel compelled to comment about the poor service we received on this trip. Our waitress was having a poor day - she made numerous errors with our order, and even brought one member of the group the wrong meal (so she only got her food once the rest of the group had finished). She made no offer to reduce our bill for her errors. I've been to a Cora's in the past, and have received far better service, so it's quite possible this was only our waitress having a bad day. We also waited 45 minutes for our food which seems really long considering what we ordered. It didn't seem like it was overly busy. We waited in line for a short time before getting a table.

Items Ordered

Mango-Banana Yogurt Smoothie

Mango-Banana Yogurt Smoothie

The mango-banana smoothie tasted very heavy on the yogurt and banana flavors, without much mango. It was quite liquidy and thin, but enjoyable nonetheless. I enjoyed it, but don't think I would order it again.

Bobby Botton - Theo's Omelette

Bobby Botton - Theo's Omlette

They weren't kidding - this really is for hearty eaters. The omelette crepe doesn't look that big, but good luck finishing it! I'm guessing there are around four eggs in the omelette. You may not have thought that an egg sandwich in a crepe would be that good, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Bobby Botton with "Theo's Omelette" - it contained broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, green onions, mushrooms, spinach, and cheddar cheese.

The meal is served with a small cup of fruit, and some potatoes. The potatoes were nice and crispy. We discovered when we got our bill that onions in the potatoes cost $0.95 extra, although neither the waitress/menu mentioned that to us.

Good Morning - 2 Eggs & French Toast

Good Morning - 2 Eggs & French Toast

The eggs were ordered once over easy, and were typical eggs, cooked as ordered. The meal was served with french toast that had a nice cinnamon flavor, but also tasted somewhat gummy (as if the egg hadn't been thoroughly cooked). I also prefer to have my french toast made from bread with a tougher crust. The meal was served with the same potatoes as the bobby botton, but were ordered without onions this time. This batch of potatoes wasn't as crispy as the previous batch, but they were still quite good (as most potatoes of this type are).
