WiseCracks Cafe

Had breakfast here this morning and it was good. It was a Sunday and there was probably a 5 minute wait at the most. Of course this was on the day of return from winter break so probably not as busy as it usually is. We ended up getting an omelette, a skillet pancakes and eggs benedict. The portions are very large and and one dish could be shared by two we also got the gluten-free cinnamon bun or roll and it was very sweet but it also very good. The coffee it comes in a very large ceramic cup. . All in all, it was a very good breakfast/ brunch.

I'll start with the food. It was very good. I had 2 eggs over-medium, hashbrowns, bacon & a 1/2 side of sausage with a \ Spritzer to drink. My companion had a "For Love of 'Benny'", and as an Eggs Benedict lover she said they were very good. She was a little surprised that it was made with actual bacon, but admitted she didn't read the menu closely. So be sure to read what you're getting. My eggs were cooked perfectly, the hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle - perfect in my book. The bacon was crispy but not crunchy, hard to do, but when done well, I consider it perfect. The sausage was very good also. Overall, we loved our meal. There were some drawbacks, though. The restaurant was very loud, not from the kitchen but from the dining room. The acoustics in the restaurant are horrible and acosted the ears when entered, if busy. We asked to be seated toward the back of the room, where it was tolerable. The other issue we had was we had to ask the bus person for several things - a box and if we had to pay at a register. While our server was pleasant, took our orders relatively promptly, and brought our check with appropriate timing - not too soon or late ‐ once the check was at our table we seemed to be forgotten. My recommendation - ABSOLUTELY, it is worth going time and again to try everything on the menu. But go when it's less busy or sit near the back. And don't hesitate to speak up or ask for what you needn't and read the menu closely.

Very popular brunch spot in Corvallis, be prepared to stand in the line at least half an hour during weekend rush hours. It’s very noisy and crowded, so if you are looking for a cozy restaurant it’s not yours. Food is delicious and service is fast. Pancakes, French toasts and home fries are really good. Also Julia’s Love Child from their menu. 😋
