| - My mother brought us here (I say here because I am still here writing my review) for a Fathers Day "brunch" buffet with my 91 year old grandfather.
Brunch, they kept calling it. Brunch they said. $20 a head - cash only.
We arrive. It's not brunch. It's less than 10 dishes none of which are - OK I'm going to pause this for a second to tell you that as a person with eating things (gluten free, vegetarian) I DO NOT IN ANY WAY expect a gluten free vegetarian buffet.
I do, however expect to see some items that are fitting with "brunch" at a brunch this was NOT the case. It was like a luncheon for a board meeting, two meats, green beans a soggy veggie tray and some desserts.
I thought, OK I'll have some salad and a cup of coffee and accept that my eating needs aren't typical BUT WE HAD TO PAY $2.50 for a cup of terrible drip coffee.
AT A BUFFET THAT WAS $20/person. No water was offered to us. Just a cash bar with an unhappy bartender and expensive beer. $7 for a grasshopper for my Papa.
So, I went down stairs to the grill where they have "All day breakfast" according to their menu - which is not true! That's their OLD menu.
I just wanted some god damn eggs.
And then out of the heavens arrived Pam who is currently hooking me up with two scrambled eggs that she convinced the cook to make. Pam is a real champ. She's a good manager and I truly felt for her and everyone working at this godforsaken place.
As I'm writing this I know that I sound like an insanely entitled yuppie, who is sad for missing her eggs Benedict, but really what I am is a customer who is pissed at false advertising and LITERAL HIGHWAY ROBBERY (it's at Cross Iron Mills) 20/head for a brunch that ain't a brunch, with no coffee, no too sweet orange juice, no tap water in a plastic cup. Just warm bottles of pop and cans of beer.
Don't advertise something you're not doing. Don't take advantage of people looking to celebrate Father's Day with a brunch.
I have included the photo of the brunch I paid $20 for. Mmmmm.
OH MY GOD IM ADDING MORE:
My mother went on to order nachos one hour ago. I am still waiting to pick them up from the bar to carry upstairs (because you know, that's normal) and I have been standing here since. The last I heard on the case of the missing nachos is they "aren't up, maybe they didn't get punched in" ...
This place is majorly understaffed I get it. It's busy, but holy cow. One hour for some pub nachos!? If you can't handle a rush don't call yourself a "grill" just have a vending machine with chips.
