“ I have to say pretty good food and good space , and great staff ! Thank you so much , will be back ”
“ Friendly staff, but has a weird atmosphere. Friends have told me that it is haunted, but they still host a bangin' open mic on Wednesdays. A friend said it felt like someone was trying to pull his chair out from under him, (but there was nobody there). ”
“ I've easily passed by the Trap hundreds of times, going to and from our home. It doesn't stand out if you're coming up 52nd from Holgate, it's just a gray building with a bus stop in front. But if you're coming down 52nd from the other direction, there's many signs on the north side of the building. I'd taken a walk this morning to deal with a couple of errands and the Trap was smack in the middle of my route. Yes - I planned to sample the "best breakfast special in town" and so I did. Greeted warmly by the bartendress/wait person (whom I later learned was named Diana), I was handed a menu. It was easy to choose the special - for $6, it included a couple of eggs, toast, hash browns, and choice of sausage or bacon (and maybe ham, I don't recall). I chose wheat toast and sausage, and eggs over easy. Breakfast came fast and hot. Suffice it to say that this isn't any fancy or exotic plate - this is a six-dollar breakfast. The toast was nicely buttered, the hash browns weren't burnt, and the eggs were perfectly cooked to their over-easiness. My very minor complaint is that I only received one sausage. Two would seem to be more of the norm, no? Folks - this is NOT Mother's or the Screen Door or any place like those. This is a neighborhood bar that serves a convenient breakfast. They're neither pretentious nor expensive. Read other reviewer's posts about the environment. If your expectations are anything other than those, stay away. But if you enjoy a quick, warm breakfast in a subdued environment, come on by. I know I'll be back. ”
