Just returned from Griddle Cafe. Overall, I like going there, but the wait, food, and service are sometimes sub-par. I don't mind waiting 40 minutes for a table if I'm going to be served promptly, but we (two of us) waited another 40 minutes for food AFTER we gave our order. I inquired about the length of time it was taking to two servers working our table, and they both acted like it just "comes with the territory," as if to imply, "we are wonderful and so you have to wait longer to get your food." I can't say that the food was exceptional, but it wasn't awful either. You just have to be prepared to wait. If the service had been more expeditious, I wouldn't hesitate to give another star or two. But the extended wait and attitude didn't come across well. The place is too frenetic to say it's a "nice place to enjoy a breakfast." They could benefit from having more help (seems like they could afford it what with the number of people who are so eager to dine there). Griddle doesn't rank up there among the great breakfast places, it's just medium good with some attitude.
Pros: Lively, energetic
Cons: Long wait for a table and an equally long wait for your food, plus attitude if you complain
