Amount spent: with tax, tip, for two people, our total was $39.32.
This review is specifically for weekend brunch. Be warned, if you don't come early, you could be waiting to eat for quite awhile. We arrived here right at 9:00 AM on a Saturday morning recently, and by 9:10 AM, most tables were taken. The place is charming, homey, and just the kind of comforting meal environment you would want on a chilly weekend morning.
We ordered the Eggs Benny ($13) with a side of home fries, the gingerbread pancakes ($11), and two donuts (the "Kitchen Sink" which is glazed with chocolate and topped with bits of the most random snacks you can think of, including and not limited to, potato chip crumbs, Cheerios, M&Ms, etc, and a cranberry apple donut - the donuts ranged in price). The Eggs Benny was our favourite, and was topped with a delicious sauce, the biscuit was light and buttery, and the home fries were flavourful and crispy! The gingerbread pancakes were also super fluffy and weren't heavy at all.
Overall, if you want a no-nonsense, comfort food-type environment, Emma's is a great option. Portion sizes are quite large, our server was attentive, and prices are reasonable given the quantities served (I only finished 1.5 of my 3 pancakes - they are quite large, and I had to take the rest home!). If you're in the area, this is definitely a great brunch spot, and I'd highly recommend it.
