| - Since we read so many rave reviews we decided to try Bread and Butter today for breakfast. As an earlier reviewer mentioned, the place is packed, the tables smashed up against one another, people waiting for tables standing around and the environment was just generally chaotic. We finally found a table outside and, though it was hot, it was a relief to get of what was going on inside.
There is no "service" here. You order at the counter, get a number on a stand and someone brings your food but that's it. Want water? Go get it yourself. Want more coffee? Go get it yourself. When I'm paying restaurant prices I hope I get service. Instead, it's very similar to McDonald's, just with higher prices.
Why plastic plates and cups? Seriously? I felt like I was eating in a cafeteria. Not only are the plates plastic but small as well. The cardboard coffee cup is small as tiny and I had to go inside to get my free refill.
I had the waffle and my daughter had the breakfast sandwich. Hers arrived at the table first. Mine never came. I waited a good ten minutes before going back inside and asking about it. Guess they'd forgotten because she made one right there. In the meantime, my daughter's eggs were cold. Neither one of us finished our food. It just wasn't very good.
To their credit, they gave me a $20 card to use on my next visit. Since the food was barely passable and the service horrendous and the atmosphere circus-like, why would I ever make a return visit? I spent their $20 gift on several bags of their caramel corn (at $5.00 a bag).
We ate some in the car and. . .surprise! It too was not very tasty and we ended up throwing away all the bags.
The crepe place on Eastern, across St. Rose Parkway, was last week's visit and I highly recommend it over Bread and Butter.
