Default Place to Eat

by DavidinShaker

Yours Truly at Shaker Square is my default restaurant - especially for breakfast.

Prices are fair, service is generally efficient, and food quality is excellent. I love to grab a quick weekend breakfast (on the patio during the warmer months) and generally walk away happy, full, and satisfied.

My biggest gripes with YT at the Square is the inconsistent management. Most days, service and staff are spot on. On the occassion when the train comes off the track, it's usually a HUGE wreck....making the whole place suffer. Their bathrooms tend to be pretty nasty/dirty....leaving one feeling dirtier after using the facilities. Waits - especially on the weekend - can be long and painful. Parking can be a pain (bring change for the meters and expect a ticket if you're 5 mins late !).

YT's menu selection is good usually complimented by some tempting monthly specials. Not being a fan of the mega chains and cookie cutter restaurants, I like patronizing and supporting locally-owned, family businesses. YT does a decent job and keeps my business with their quality and selection. Breakfast for 2 is usually 10 - 20 bucks...out the door.

Try it.

• Pros: Menu Selection, All Day Breakfast, Portion Size, Patio
