My wife ordered a 222 which was 2 eggs, 2 bacon, and 2 pancakes. She said the pancakes were delicious as did a women at our table who also ordered the pancakes. I ordered a swiss cheese omelet with sausage and hashbrowns. My order came out with american or cheddar cheese with home fries. The waitress said that they ran out of hashbrowns. It took about 45 minutes to get our order, entirely too long. I think the cook just works on one tables order at a time but it was an inordinately long wait. The owners filled our coffee cups frequently. No problem there. When I went to pay the bill I mentioned that I didn't get the cheese I ordered. She looked at the check and sure enough, swiss cheese was on it. She called the cook from the kitchen and told him about the cheese mixup. I didn't mention to her about the inordinate amount of time to get our order. However, they seemed to be frantic and disorganized and I'm sure they are aware of this.
I'm sure they are trying but need to get their act in order. Because of the above I will probably not be going there for breakfast again or at least until the snowbirds leave which may give them a chance to improve service.
Just wanted to give you my experience with this restaurant. The owners seem very nice but seemed disorganized.

Influenced by some positive posts about Jan and Terry's I tried it myself for Breakfast earlier today. I agree that the operation is extremely disorganized. I essentially agree with your comments regarding seating arrangements that seem to encourage strangers to sit down next to you. My breakfast was not served in a timely manner. When my Fried Eggs and Home Fries arrived they were actually cold. I found the place to be dirty. Paper menus on the tables were covered with stains left by previous diners food and beverages. An open Catsup bottle on my table had Catsup all around the cap that appeared to have been there for a long time. In the Restroom I found broken Toilet Tissue and Hand Towel dispensers as well as a floor that my shoes stuck to with each step I took.
I will not return even after the seasonal residents depart.
