Balans is one of those places you can go when you don't know quite what you want. They have a very broad selection on the menu, but serve standard items like burgers, breakfast, wraps, salads as well. Located on Lincoln Rd (one of the world's great places to people watch) with a large shaded outdoor area (and an indoor dining area as well) Balans is casual and realatively inexpensive given its higher priced neighbors (Breakfast or lunch $6-$15, Dinner $12-$20 without alcohol). The servers are friendly and efficient. \r

The Jumbo Breakfast includes coffee, juice, two eggs as you wish, toast, bacon, sausage and potatoes and they take $2 off if you order before 11:30am! I don't remmeber the price for sure, but I want to say it's $8.95 (before the discount). The US1 burger is a great choice, as are their wraps. Dinner entrees are always good. The Chimichurri steak is one of my favorites. \r
