We revisited Pop-n-Sons diner on 30 January 2010. Our first visit<\/a> was back in May 2009. We had a fine time then, and we had a fine time today. As you can see from the sign, they have a special on scrapple. Grandpaw will be interested to know that!<\/p>\n

Check out the neat mural of a drive-in out on the front porch.<\/p>\n

This Tampa Bay Breakfast was a real treat. We had our favorite guest reviewer, Mom! <\/p>\n

\"pop-guest-reviewer\"<\/p>\n

Here’s a nice touch. We sit down and automatically they bring us crayons.<\/p>\n

\"pop-color\"<\/p>\n

This never happens to me when I’m alone, so I’m taking advantage of the crayons! Also, check out my kickin’ LISA09<\/a> shirt! Am I a nerd or what? Don’t make fun of me, Hugh, you’ve got the same shirt.<\/p>\n

\"pop-color2\"<\/p>\n

Marek says, hey old man, you’re always making me give you a kiss. How ’bout un beso for me?<\/p>\n

\"pop-kiss\"<\/p>\n

Here’s a nice menu. Not the most comprehensive menu in town, but all the basics are here. And the prices are reasonable, too.<\/p>\n

\"pop-menu\"<\/p>\n

We had some coffee. This pitch-black swill was like having a cup of used battery acid mixed with old Mac truck motor oil. By which I mean it was perfect. This is some great diner coffee!<\/p>\n

\"pop-coffee\"<\/p>\n

Even Mom got into the act. Though she doesn’t appreciate the concept of “diner coffee” so she tried the hot chocolate instead. She’s so cute.<\/p>\n

\"pop-coffee-mom\"<\/p>\n

Watch out! Here comes breakfast! This is a fine spread. We jumped into having three pancakes because we remembered them being a bit small on our last visit. Like that Grabby McGrab paw coming in from the left? There was an actual “yoink” sound.<\/p>\n

\"pop-breakfast1\"<\/p>\n

Marek didn’t seem to care for the pancakes, but he surely loved that bacon!<\/p>\n

\"pop-breakfast2\"<\/p>\n

Our guest reviewer said that the French toast was the best she’s had all day. She’s “in a family way,” which pretty much means that anything she eats has to taste good both going down AND coming back up. We’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n

\"pop-breakfast4\"<\/p>\n

Marek wondered if I had something special going on over here. Of course I did — I had breakfast! Marek had best watch out, he’s coming in through the Breakfast Spider entrance.<\/p>\n

\"pop-breakfast5\"<\/p>\n

Marek declined to pay the bill today. Something about how he was having a bout of sympathetic morning sickness. But the bill for two-and-a-half was a shade over 17 bucks. A little pricey, maybe, but not the most expensive we’ve seen.<\/p>\n

\"pop-pays\"<\/p>\n

On the way out the door, we got into a philosophical discussion about pops with nice lady. Is there truly anything finer than to see a bowl of pops like this?<\/p>\n

\"pop-pops\"<\/p>\n

By the time we got home, the pops had done the trick. Check out that tongue! <\/p>\n

\"pop-pops3\"<\/p>\n

We had a very nice re-visit to Pop-n-Sons Diner. The breakfast is good eating, the prices are OK, and the people are super-nice from start to finish. The 50s diner motif is always fun. And breakfast with Mom is always a winner! Thanks, Mom, for joining us!<\/p>\n

We’re pleased to re-affirm this Tampa Bay Breakfast’s four-pancake rating!<\/p>\n
