| - The issue with ordering food when you have been starving yourself for this moment since the night before is that you want it all! Plus, I have a habit of always studying the menu the night before, so I had a pretty good idea coming into The Stockyards of what I wanted. According to the online menu, they also sold beignets (otherwise known as fritters or donuts) and since I always like to have something sweet with my savory breakfast, I asked them about the beignets even though I could not find them on the menu. "I am sorry," said the hostess, "we stopped selling them for about 6 months now." What?!!! NO! I had dreamt of hot, gooey centered, fried beignets all night! You can't do this to me! Well, apparently the chef that used to make them is no longer with them, and no one could make them like her. Talk about a tease! I can only imagine how good they must have been. Sigh.
"So.....do you have anything sweet," I asked. I know what they were thinking, "do you know how much food you have ordered? Enough for a small army, and STILL you want MORE?" Well, yeah! I needed something SWEET! "Sorry," said the hostess, "I can't think of anything sweet."
Several minutes later we got the whole 9 yards. Literally. And wow, we got our food within 5 minutes. Crazy quick! It consisted of fried green tomatoes, bacon, hash browns, sausage patties, refried beans, 2 deep fried poached eggs and a massive buttery biscuit. My friend and I stared at the food in awe. That is a lot of food! Where do we begin? So we strategized (i.e., he started with the chicken and waffles and I started with the whole 9 yards). But that is not all folks. As I maneuvered around the food feeling absolutely giddy, the chef put a pancake in front of me and said, "this is for you." Awwww really? For me? But in all honesty, I was not sure if what I was feeling was appreciation or plain old panic. How am I going to eat ALL this?! Ha! But I am brilliant! Whatever we do not finish, I get to take home. Duh! So I got back to business and attacked the feast.
My friend and I had a great time at The Stockyards. The portions were plentiful, the taste was delicious, but what I will remember the most about this great restaurant was the service. I highly recommend that you pay them a visit. I plan to visit them for lunch next. I heard their burgers and pulled pork sandwiches are amazing and so naturally I need to determine the accuracy of these rumors for myself.
