| - I'm hoping that this review finds you who reads it well... this review solely speaks to the quality and sheer size of the breakfast offerings here AND not to mention the unique gastro-style offerings on their "best of Brunch" menu.
Aesthetically from the outside this place looks clean and neat, inside it's dated and kinda blasé. Then again when you're looking for a breakfast joint are you looking for sleek and sexy? Or are you looking for greasy, unique, hearty and friendly? I don't know about you... but I'm for the latter.
Visiting a friend in Newmarket we decided to visit the farmers market and then make a quick brunch stop. We popped in, turned our noses up a touch at the appearance of the place (not dirty or anything of that sort... just plain jane) but paused as experience crept in and I recalled that old "don't judge a book by it's cover" saying.
The staff was incredibly friendly throughout. Maybe it was that they weren't entirely busy when we paid them a visit, but our server was attentive, jovial, made excellent suggestions, even cracked a couple of jokes with us (all the while keeping our coffee and waters topped up). It's really not that hard to be an excellent server, they show you how easy it can be at Just Brunch.
On to the menu, for brunch they offered all the basics, and when I say basics I'm talking 3 pages of "basics". Eggs, Omelets, Sandwiches, Waffles, Pancakes, French toast, etc. But then there was the "best of" portion of the menu (which occupied an entire front page of the menu) filled with options that make my mouth water even mentioning them now. Huevos Rancheros? Blintzes? Cheddar Bacon Pancakes? Caramelized Banana Waffles? Yep! Things of that nature - deadly!
Ever the glutton, I flirted with the idea of the "Big Breakfast" ($12.95) for several minutes (because you know I like to try a bit of everything) before finally ordering it. The BB comes with harvest sausages, hand cut pemale bacon (hand cut to order), bacon, eggs, toast and home-fries (potatoes).
- Bacon was plate length after it was cooked and had a smokey taste to it. Yum #1
- Pemale was like a mini pork chop, thickest cut I've ever seen and moist. Yum #2
- Sausages were HUGE, thick, juicy and cooked on a flat-top and grill instead of deep fried. Yum #3
- Eggs+Toast were cooked perfectly and toasted to my exact specifications. Yum #4
- Potatoes weren't so good, inconsistently cooked, however I typically don't eat home fries (takes up too much stomach space).
4 stars earned for the food, another for service and another for clean and well maintained bathrooms! The only negative note as I mentioned was the potatoes but by the time I got to them I was too full to care.
Definitely one of the most under-rated breakfast/brunch joint in the 'burbs that I HIGHLY recommend you give a try! Newmarket Main St's culinary prowess is beginning to impress me with it's bevvy of options. Now even at breakfast time too!
Eatcrest Out!
