We went to HomeGrown today and overall had a good experience. The service was really great — our server was very kind and attentive, which always makes a difference. The wait, however, was a bit rough, so that’s something to be prepared for. We had four people in our group. Two ordered the baked oatmeal, along with a red velvet pancake and a traditional eggs Benedict. We also ordered the brown sugar Pop-Tart. Let’s be honest — we came for the Pop-Tart. And it was good. I’d definitely order it again, but it was a little overcooked this time. Next time I’d love to see it a bit softer in the middle. The baked oatmeal had good flavor, but we felt it could’ve been more moist. It might really benefit from a sauce or a bit more cinnamon glaze to take it to the next level. The red velvet pancake didn’t really taste like red velvet — it mostly felt like eating red food coloring without much payoff. Next time, we’d probably stick to a regular pancake or chocolate chip instead. The eggs Benedict was absolutely delicious. The English muffin could’ve been cooked slightly less since it was a bit tough, but the rosemary potatoes? They absolutely slapped. Easily 10/10 — those alone are worth coming back for. Overall, solid food, excellent service, and a few tweaks could make this place even better.

My 1st time at this establishment. I would like to give 5 stars but I can't. The very first thing I noticed before I even sat down was a dirty glass. Crazy that the person getting ready to pour the water in it didn't see it. I ordered the Let's make a Toast, which includes French toast. I asked about the seasonal option THINKING it would still be French toast but the waitress offered a totally different menu item. Although good, I wasn't impressed because I wanted French toast but what I received was essentially a slice of pumpkin bread. Felt like I was eating dessert and not breakfast. Also, I didn't receive my coffee until I was halfway finished with my meal. The waitress admitted that she forgot. This was not enough to deter me from visiting. I'll be back. Great atmosphere with friendly staff.
