we ordered eggs benedict. the waiter said "me benedict", implying that is who he was. odd, considering who Benedict is. anyhow, immediately when we got home (4 blocks away) the food came right out the same way it came in. such a shame. used to be our favorite spot.
Pros: Close to home
Cons: bad service

The food's pretty good for breakfast, but I can't take the pretense of the fellow who's waited on me the last few times. Servers should be trained to refill coffee and ask how the food is once. That's not asking too much. I gave it a few tries, but no more.

I used to love this place. My whole family did. Particularly the Catfish Hash. In fact, when my daughter was in the hospital she specifically asked for it when she got her appetite back. So we ordered it, sent someone out to pick it up, brought it back to the hospital and...NO CATFISH IN THE CATFISH HASH. Okay, like two inch sized cubes. Soggy, nasty-rotten tasting fish sized cubes. So we called back to check... and got a "well what d'you want us to do?" response. We wanted then catfish! We had paid $10 for a pile of spuds. So we went back to get our catfish, got a rude and testy response, and we won't be back. such a shame. New cook? New manager? Too bad.
Pros: Used to be rad
Cons: Spotty food, overpriced, hipster servers with attitude

This place has some of the worst service I have ever received in my life. The pretentious, rude, grouchy, 30+, alterna-dorks just dont get it. This place has really good food and the lady with dreads seems friendly, but the other two staff people really bothered me. They dont say thanks, they dont make eye contact, and they dont ask how your meal is going. They should find new jobs before they ruin anymore breakfasts. Because of these two rude servers I can not recommend this place. Owner, please fire these two people. I am sure that their horrible attitude would prevent them from ever getting another job, so I am sure that we, the patrons, will be stuck with these grouches for way too long.
Pros: Food
Cons: Services

Nice breakfast (Country breakfast was wonderful)! The staff wasn't overattentive ... nice balance of attentive and friendly. I would say the location is pretty quiet and is in an easy-to-park place. All in all, a nice place.
Pros: Food, Service, vibe
Cons: Tight seating

I am sad, I considered myself a regular for breakfasts here but the service has been downhill every time that I have visited lately. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend bridges anymore. Maybe if you order your food take-out you can avoid being disappointed.
Pros: outdoor tables, coffe, bbg omelet

Is it really called "Bridges Soup and Sandwich?" I think it's Bridges Cafe. ANYWAY, best breakfast in town, especially if you need a late breakfast. Small, brightly decorated, comfortable dining room. Not pretentious. Not trendy. Very pleasant. Good portions, great price. Service is uneven, though.

Breakfast served all day and great location for those who aren't lucky enough to live in NE. Their seasoned potatoes and black bean cakes are the best, and their toast is sweet and savory all at once. Coffee is full-bodied and strong too, just perfect for those who really need a wake-up.
