Head for breakfast ( voted best in Tampa !) like we did for proper refillable coffee , a choice of ‘ fresh from the hens ’ eggs , served as you like them with French fries , home fries or grits and choice of Cuban , whole wheat , white toast , biscuit or English muffin with the option of adding bacon , sausage or burger patties too , and the pancakes ; which , much to the delight of the little Readys are massive ; 12 inches in fact , served hot of the griddle with cracker maple syrup and butter .
