| - Must have been one of those 'off, off' days.
It's boxing day. I've given up on shopping at 10:00am and I'm looking for a refuel on energy. We decide to trek over too College St for Aunties & Uncles: closed. Wanda's Pie in the Sky: closed. Kaplansky's; no longer serving twisters and turkey wasn't being served until 11:00am. Freezing, hungry and just wanting to make things easy we opt for Maggie's. I've never been a big fan, but Iess indecisiveness and more eating was an attractive option.
I ordered the vegetable omelette (mushrooms, peppers, onions and mozz cheese). MEH....It was edible and did the job of killing my hunger pang...but I don't like to eat to just get full. I'm looking for a full mind, body and mouth experience.
He ordered some Mexican specialty (3rd last on the menu) that looked very fancy. It was three eggs (however you like), beans, chicken and a slice of cheese. My boyfriend had to give it back because the chicken was over cooked, cheese crusty and the beans had an unusual taste. The waitress was very quick to respond and immediately brought him a different order.
I really believe they were having one of those 'off, off' days. Its the day after Christmas, so I'm thinking they didn't get a re stock on their dailies'. Maybe this is why Aunties and Uncles was closed. I've never been wowed by the meals at Maggies but always expect an okay meal. Service is friendly and they have a large menu of options for a fair price. During the summer they open up their front windows and their two front seats are great for people watching.
The owners seem very lovely and I don't want to hurt their business but I won't be returning any time soon since I'm very picky when it comes to brunch. What can I say, I'm a brunch whore !
