Editorial Review for Jinky's Cafe – by Michele McCole Moss
The Scene
The cheerful room buzzes with friendly chatter on the weekends. Animation cels from Disney and Warner Bros. hang on the lemon-yellow walls, and sunlight streams in through enormous windows along the front wall. Pancake flavors range from pumpkin to whole wheat, and French toast is covered in corn flakes. Omelettes and scrambles are stuffed with Jody Maroni's sausage and Chili My Soul gourmet chili. Various salads and sandwiches are offered for lunch.

Am I in an alternative universe? How could such a (at best) medicore place get such great reviews? The only reason I ate my breakfast, was because I was starving. They forgot one essential ingredient: flavor. My boyfriend added salt to his food for the first time in his life...because he was starving too. It's edible at best. Nothing special. Nothing to rave about. And definitely nothing to wait in the very loooonnnng line for.
Pros: Close to home
Cons: Food

Went here for breakfast on a Sunday. I had walked by this place several times and never noticed it until my friend took me here. We only had to wait about 15 mins. The place looks like it greats crowded, so I'd expect to wait. They have a big menu. The lunch items looked great too, but I ordered an omlette and loved it. The portions were huge. I will definately go back.
Pros: Great location, Good breakfast
Cons: Wait
