It took us a year to find this place so close to our house, and even then their name made it hard to find details. We took the plunge this spring and were pleasantly surprised. It's a seat yourself establishment so don't be bashful about sharing a table with some other fine folks. Service is prompt and the french toast is strangely amazing for being just regular battered white bread. Pro-tip: Dodge the after church crowds, hit them up between 9a-11a on Sundays.

Pretty basic breakfast but never a let down and super cheap. Go here when we don't feel like making breakfast and can get a cheese and egg on english muffin for $2. Nothing fantastic by any means but it works. They serve Korean dishes as well but have yet to try them.

Diner with decent food but slow service. I got the waffle with banana and walnuts which was quite good, but the bacon was sub-par. They brought our coffee with the meal instead of while we were waiting and never refilled it. I would consider going back if I was not in a hurry.

This place is a big B (small L), and a must whenever I'm hungry for savory breakfast in Mount Airy; Mrs. Kim, the owner, always greets everyone with the best smile. During the week, the breakfast sandwich is made with at least two eggs (it comes cut in half and I usually heed that serving suggestion) and it is all of the buttery-crispy-fluffy that I NEED for breakfast. On the weekend, my boyfriend and I combine orders of Doc's Special (creamed chipped beef over toast with over-easy egg, sub home fries for waffle) and Protein Lover's (two omelet-style eggs with spinach, bacon and sausage) for the ultimate, guilty, gravy-all-over Sunday.

Wow was that bad service! We stopped in today for breakfast at 9:30. There where three other tables, the waitress took our order fast. The food took 25 minuted to come to the table, we ordered eggs and waffles. This is an minor complaint but the toast and waffle came with melted butter on it, not on the side. I don't like waffles with butter The waitress never once offered to refill our water or coffee once.

Great breakfast in a quaint and homey atmosphere. We walked here for a late breakfast/brunch around 11 AM and it was bustling with activity. Instead of sitting at a table, we chose to seat at the counter with a view of the non-stop activity in the kitchen and grill. The staff was hopping and the mix of food aromas made us even hungrier. Their menu is quite extensive and we chose the protein platter with two eggs mixed with cheese and spinach, along with bacon, sausage and toast. And of course, plenty of coffee. It hit the spot quite nicely. Meanwhile we admired the constant hustle and bustle of the kitchen. Cheap, plentiful, tasty and casual.

After recently moving into the area. I decided I would go out exploring for a quick take out breakfast spot after dropping my daughter of at school. So Mt. Airy breakfast is where I found myself. The food was priced reasonable and actually pretty tasty. Which is why I gave three stars. However, the service was pretty bad for a weekday around 8:30am. And I can't say it was bad because it was crowded. It was a "Empty bad" if you understand lol. The place was pretty empty, I had one person in front of me for take out. Once that person was checked out. I basically waited at the front for about 15mintues. While the young lady with the color in her hair working the register, went to flirt with the Police Officer that was dinning in. Customer service is key and some places still don't understand that. She clearly didn't mind wasting my time. So I won't make that mistake again and waste my time stopping in.

I have been coming to this diner for years. The food is priced well, it's good, and the quality is on par for what you would expect for a similar establishment. The owner Mrs. Kim is always polite and respectful.

Came here with my little sister for a late breakfast.upon coming it we were happily greeted with smiles and great smells. I got pancakes with turkey sausage and eggs, sissy got French toast with eggs and turkey sausage. And we shared some home fries. The food came quick and tasted delicious. Everyone was pleasant and nice, the place was clean and the atmosphere was positive.we sat n ate about an hour. My sissy commented on how good her french toast was n her eggs.I will definitely will be back n she wants to come from jersey to ginger everyday! Definitely a winner!!!

This place really fills a niche in Mount Airy. It's always busy, but never a problem getting a table and the servers are friendly and prompt. The menu is pretty standard fare, but the salads, burgers, and sandwiches we've tried so far have all been great. Love the turkey salad sandwich.

Okay. So my daughter and I went here, after seeing the amount of stars it received on Yelp. We were told to find a seat, by the lady behind the counter, which we did. Took just a little bit for us to be waited on. The coffee was very good. I ordered French toast, grits and beef sausage, which came in mild or hot. I ordered mild because it was too early for spiciness on my tummy. Why, dear Lord, did the cold bring me two split HOT DOGS!! At first I was so in disbelief I just stared. It looked like a hotdog, felt like a hotdog and dog gone it( don't excuse the pun) tasted like a hot dog. When I told the young waitress it was indeed a hot dog, she said " yes, that's what a mild beef sausage is." It took everything in me not to say, " now would you honestly serve your mom or grandmother this?" I was so outdone . So I asked her to just bring me some bacon. She started to take my whole plate but my daughter intervened and said no. She brought back the bacon and that was good. The grits were good, though the cheese in it were slices of American cheese food. I was impressed with the creaminess of them. The French toast was heavily dusted with cinnamon. Not so great. One of the guys( an Asian gentleman) was very friendly. However, I have no desire to return.

Went here for breakfast with a big group of friends one day. The service was great! The food came out really, really quickly and the buttermilk pancakes were outstanding! Also, their sausage omelet was really good. A definite recommendation!

Had the salmon surf and turf burger. It was amazing. The tartar sauce was the best I have had. Nice little kick to it and the shrimp where big and juicy. Great burger I recommend it to any one

Thee go to Sunday breakfast spot! You can't miss it there's lights on the window and all kinds of stuff. The seating is family style but the breakfast is all that. The pancake platter is my usual but I've been there so many times I've tried just about everything on the menu. The service is pretty consistent, can't complain. I'll be there on Sunday.

I got the hungry man breakfast. The cheese grits were really good. The cheese was melted in the grits so you get cheese in every bite. My girlfriend got an egg white omelette which she said was good. The one complaint I have is the home fries. They were bland and did not have much flavor. Bad home fries can kill breakfast. Overall good food besides the home fries.

Mount Airy Breakfast and Lunch is a nice little breakfast spots in the northwest area. They have an all female staff there and they specialize in decent omelettes. It is a small spots filled with workers and local neighborhood folk. It's a very clean spot with good service and they have a rather large menu. I ordered a club omelette which is just like the sandwich filled with turkey, bacon, tomato and served with crusty, toasted bread. It was very tasty! However, if this place decides to do a coffee do over, I would gladly give them 4 star.

Love Trio (or I guess Mt. Airy Breakfast & Lunch, as it seems to be called now). Anyway - whatever the name, it's my go-to spot for a big Sunday breakfast. I always order the same thing (Most Popular Platter - comes with eggs, home fries, toast and bacon) and it rarely disappoints. Local friends love it, out of town friends and family who visit love it. Walk in and seat yourself at tables or the counter. The waitresses are friendly and fairly efficient given how busy it usually is. Sundays are crazy packed once neighborhood churches get out. They also do take-out, but I've always eaten there. Must be good though, because there's always a line of people waiting up front to get their take-out orders. Eating there, our food is always out pretty quickly (although the toast always seems to take awhile longer). Overall, the food, service and prices are all good. Can't beat it!
