Food and drinks were excellent. One person ordered chicken breast with broccoli and it was literally two bites of chicken as a serving. Other than that, excellent service and awesome food as always!

Amazing brunch we loved the pancake egg hash sausage skillet - it should be added to the menu. Great service and shout out to Thea and our waitress whose name I didn’t get. She was fun and friendly and just great. Toups never disappoints.
