Default Cane Gardens Breakfast...60 cents charge

What's up with the restaurant at Cane Garden charging .60 cents extra for crispy bacon on the breakfast menu? Never heard of such a thing.

60 cents--time to go to Denny's or Bob Evans--this is why we will never have excellent restaurants in TV

Lol. Takes extra time to cook. Gotta pay the cook for his overtime. [emoji12]

Did you ask them why?

Maybe if you get it with runny eggs it will be a wash.

I don't understand. If you had limp bacon, there would be no charge?

It is my experience that Cane Garden is run well. So I am prejudiced toward the folks there. Never been to breakfast at Cane Garden.

Tell us what happened. Perhaps we will get mad too. I see that bacon a la carte is $2.99

As Villagers, do we all have to spend 75 cents on gas to save 60 cents? Or are we allowed to support local (in the bubble) establishments? and

Yes, it's was even itemized on the receipt. I did not notice it until I got home. Therefore, did not challenge it with server. Not going back....principle!

Do you think they would charge extra for a hamburger ordered "well done"?

Most breakfast items, such as bacon, sausages, hash are premade and sit under warming lamps--once something has to be adjusted--it should be an additional charge

Not as bad as then charging me $2 to substitute a couple anchovies for Bacon crumbles on a caesar salad. Both seem more than a bit chintzy to me.

My biggest complaint about breakfast places is that they charge you about $2.60 for a cup of coffee, whether you drink 1 cup or 5 cups. And, they will advertise a low price for a "complete" breakfast, but it never includes coffee. That is not a complete breakfast.

Go to Rae Rae's. They have the thickest, crispiest, best-tasting bacon in town. And they don't charge extra for it.
