Sunday morning ND, his cousin, good friend, and I ate breakfast at the Park Cafe in St Mary.
Our first clue should have been we were the very first customers, the only customers at the door when they opened at 0700.
We all ordered eggs, a meat, "hash browns", toast, and coffee....from a waiter that was not particularly friendly.
When our breakfast arrived I was immediately really ANNOYED.
My "scrambled eggs" were actually chopped up fried eggs---a chopped mix of egg white and egg yoke.
The toast was two tiny slices of some nondescript white bread barely browned--and dry.
My sausage was this preformed pale disgusting looking "patty" that was rubbery tough and bland tasting.
Our "hash browns" were a curious mix of green and red peppers? small hunks of potatoes and who knows what else.
I've never seen "hash brown potatoes" like that in my life...and I've been to 49 states and 5 continents over the last 50 years.
I didn't touch that skimpy lil portion of "potatoes".
The other guys had eggs over easy that they said were awful as well. Over cooked.
Price? about $12.50 with the coffe if I remember correctly. What a deal--not.
ND and friends stopped by the Park Cafe Saturday night and one ordered a chocolate milk shake.
When delivered he said it was more like chocolate milk, a thin gruel like mixture.
Am I being hard on them? I don't think so.
We drove by last night about 9PM and there was NOT ONE CAR in the lot--and they were open.
None of us ever saw the lot anywhere near full at any this past weekend.
I haven't seen the lot anywhere near full all season.
Never mind lines of people waiting to get a table like when it was under the old management.
And so I don't believe our assessment is unfair. nobody is going there.
Personally, I give it just one star out of a possible five, one star only because I didn't get sick.

PS
I'll do a "lame video" on how EASY it is to make "perfect" scrambled eggs
A breakfast cook who can't make basic egg dishes is not a cook imo.
