I tried three breakfasts, the Journeyman’s Early Riser, the Craftsman’s Egg Benny, and the Railroader Trio. The Journeyman’s Early Riser is the classic eggs, choice of meat, hash browns, and toast. The hash browns were cooked well, but they needed more salt. The Craftsman’s Egg Benny was my favorite of the three. It came with a toasted English muffin, cheese sauce, smoked ham, poached eggs, homemade hollandaise, and hash browns. The hollandaise was the highlight, thick, tangy from the lemon, rich, and honestly so good. The plate had too much space, it needed a piece of fruit or garnish. The downside was the eggs. All three dishes were ordered poached medium, but they all came out hard. For an eggs benny, that matters. You want that yolk moment, and I didn't get it. But the hollandaise was strong enough that I still liked the dish the best. Then there was the Railroader Trio. This is not a cute little breakfast. Three eggs, three small pancakes, bacon, ham, chorizo, hash browns, and toast. It’s giving leave your work boots by the door, let out your jeans and don't have plans to eat again until supper. This is a hearty breakfast spot. A few things needed tightening up but the portions are generous, the menu has personality, and that hollandaise sauce is really good.
