| - I've been to The Carbon Bar many times. I love the high ceilings and vibe. I am usually there for drinks (love the black mamba margarita) and the Korean Fried Cauliflower is the best in the city.
This city loves it's brunch and The Carbon Bar recently joined the Brunch Wagon. I went there a few weeks ago and was throughly impressed. My friend and I had no problems getting a table, we sat down and obviously ordered some caffeine. The coffee is nothing special, tastes like a regular drip coffee.
We then proceeded to order; Huevos El Carbon, Smoked Brisket Benny, Smashed & Fried Potatoes, and the Buttermilk Pancakes.
The server told us they ran out of the Brisket for the Benny but they could add Pulled Pork, I had zero problems with that as I prefer Pulled Pork over Brisket.
About 20 minutes later and all of our food arrived. WOW. It was a LOT of food. We were excited to dig in.
I took one bite of my Pulled Pork Benny and fell in love. This had to be the best Eggs Benny I had ever had. It reminded me of a pulled pork sandwich, it had pickles, slaw and chili. The biscuit was a great southern touch. I wish they would add it as a permanent item on the menu.
The Huevos was okay, it came with warm tortillas, black beans, two eggs sunny, Manchego cheese, chorizo, guacamole, and charred pico de gallo. I personally didn't feel like it was anything special.
The Smashed & Fried Potatoes were amazing. It had kimchi and fried onions. The potatoes were cooked then smashed on a griddle so it had a nice crispy yet chewy edge.
Finally dessert, The pancakes were pretty good. We obviously had to add the smoked bacon. The pancakes were a bit dense, and I wish they added the blueberry sauce to each layer, overall it was good.
I would definitely recommend this place for some good southern brunch. It's the ultimate comfort food.
Keep Eating,
Angela
