I have now been here 3 times. This place is sort of an icon in Glendale and I had been hearing that I had to go here since I moved here 17 years ago.\n\nThe first time I was here was Mothers Day. and I ordered the special breakfast of chicken crepes with a fruit bowl. It was cold, the spinach had the texture of shoe leather, the Alfredo sauce had separated then formed a skin. The fruit bowl it came with was ok as was the coffee and the mini muffins with butter were really good.'\n\nThe next time I went for lunch and had that day's special which was a hot turkey sandwich with potato salad. The sandwich was ok. The potato salad was bland but the seasoned salt on the table made it ok. \n\nThis last time I had the Cooks breakfast of two pancakes, two eggs, two sausages (or bacon) and I added some potatoes. The breakfast was lukewarm. The pancakes and potatoes were pretty good, the eggs and sausage were just ok. As noted before the mini muffins served with real butter were really good.\n\nEver body I encountered was pleasant. The place is looking a bit worn. When I was there the place was one to two thirds full. I noticed this last trip the line of chairs and the coffee station outside were missing. I fully understand that the banter between the waitresses and the regular customers is one of the things that brings people back, I just wish it didn't cause my food to be served lukewarm as I saw other plates served that were still steaming.\n\nI gave it a 3 but it is a pretty weak 3 and although I would go there again if somebody else picked it I doubt it will make it into my regular rotation.
