IF YOU GO FOR ONE THING
Subah Banana Nut Bread
A recent diner specifically praised the banana-nut-bread French toast, describing it as very sweet. Find it under French Toast on the current menu, rather than the separate Pecan Banana item.

What stands out
One diner loved the banana-nut-bread French toast and flavorful omelet; another singled out the steak fajita skillet. A recent critical review found other dishes disappointing and service slow.
Before you go
The negative sample describes dry pancakes and uneven service, not the recommended banana-nut item. These are three individual experiences; the overall 4.3 rating meets the approved fallback rather than our preferred threshold.
A small sourced sample, not a score, a full consensus, or a personal visit by 42 SPOTS. Older observations may not reflect today.
