Sassy Onion Grill

Annoying name, prices, and food, but the French toast might make it worth it.

Like Chumbawumba, the Sassy Onion a one track wonder with a memorable name. The track, here, is their amazing French toast-- a weighty slab of fried egg and dough, worthy of anyone's highest praises. It's no wonder this is their featured menu item-- Who doesn't love good French toast? The problem is that if you're interested in anything besides simple carbohydrates and sugar for breakfast, the rest of the menu falls flat. Like Chumbawumba, you might try to pick up the entire album (as you might add eggs, coffee, and orange juice to your order), only to find that the rest of the songs aren't really all that good. But at this point, you've spent $17.99, and all you really wanted was that one song. At this point, the whole thing annoys you too much to ever listen to the album regularly, but if you just happen to hear the song on the radio, you'll go ahead and turn the volume up.

• Pros: Good for large groups and kids.
• Cons: Most of the food is below-average. Service can be poor at times.
