Morning Star Cafe was around the corner from my hotel so it was the obvious choice when hungry at breakfast. They are a typical all American diner, which is to say there's no frills, airs or graces, just simply made food to satisfy your hunger pangs.
I had the Eggs cooks in my chosen way (poached I think it was) with Bacon. They don't skimp on sizes, it was enough for two and hugely reasonable at $4.95. It was perfectly fine - eggs were runny, bacon crispy. My only qualm would be that it was too big. My friend had Pancakes with Bacon and Maple Syrup ($9.45). Us Brits don't combine those flavours together and it still baffles me that you'd want liquid sugar on salty bacon for breakfast, but he seemed to like it so each to their own.
The vibe of the place was very diner-esque and the staff were friendly and helpful. The menu was extensive at 4 pages long. They offered everything from burgers, sandwiches, diet delights, main courses such as lamb chops, meatloaf, pasta, seafood as well as a multiplicity of desserts.
I'd certainly go again for both the food and the 'all American' experience.
