Eggs, underdone even though I specified "over
extra hard" with fully cooked yolk. The center of the yolks were wet, not fully cooked let alone extra well done.
Bacon, wilted and extra greasy. I like crispy bacon that's been drained.
Home fries were absolutely tasteless. I have had better frozen home fries. They looked good but had no taste. Reminded me of boiled potato cubes with paprika for looks.
The toast, how can you mess up bread? They did. A blob of butter (or butter substitute) melted in the middle of the slices of bread. It was soggy in a 2 inch circle in the middle of the toast and dry dry dry everywhere else.
Another in my party had pancakes. The cakes were OK but the maple syrup tasted terrible. It was not 100% maple syrup - it was some maple flavored breakfast syrup (mostly sugars). When they complained they were brought a few small packets of "real maple syrup".
Coffee is an individual taste. In my opinion the coffee I had sat in the pot too long and was too strong and bitter for me. Even with a ton of sugar and some cream.
Overall, I'd rather eat a McMuffin (which I don't care for but is a known item) than eat breakfast at Donna Jeans.
