Top Review: “You got to try Mess. I haven’t had Mess in over two years since moving away and it was just as good. Thank goodness cause I talked it up to my friend, who had never been before. I remember when Mess was just a food truck on campus. We both had the chicken and waffles. The serving size was huge and filling. We were both stuffed to then brim. The aloi sauce is amazing, definitely get it on the chickens.”Mai Lan B.

The Toasted Yolk

Who needs dinner when you can have breakfast delicacies like perfectly poached eggs, crispy bacon, and layers of turkey and pastrami to enjoy? This is what the folks at The Toasted Yolk are asking!

These morning treats were just too good to pass up, and when the team at Toasted Yolk Café couldn’t find them served in a restaurant that didn’t put them to sleep, they took matters into their own hands and opened their own place.
