| - Today marked my 4th time here in a month. I was addicted from day one! (Check my pictures to see a few of the dishes. The pictures do not do the food justice)
Breakfast/Brunch (Now open on weekends for brunch)
1. The New York Breakfast Sandwich (grilled sourdough, 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon or ham, cheese and mayo) is great! Delicious bacon, fluffy eggs, and the best bread you could possibly imagine. That sourdough is the reason I came back. They griddle the bread so that it's extra crispy on the outside. I can't say enough about it. Get something with the sourdough.
2. Blueberry Pancakes: truly some of the best pancakes around. Light and crispy, fluffy, sweet and vanilla-y. The blueberries are delicious. You won't be disappointed.
3. Biscuits 'n Sausage Gravy: Excellent!!! This really is a meal by itself. Sure, you can get some of their delicious shredded hash browns on the side (don't mind if I do), but these are great. Very elevated form of the dish, not some lumpy mystery sauce (check my photo). The sausage was legit, the gravy was perfect, and the biscuits were killer. My suggestion is that they serve some breakfast sliders on those biscuits. They could invent a whole new thing! And yeah, only $4.50.
4. Croque Monsieur: You-can't-believe-it-till-you-try-it. This is a new item that is a part of their new weekend brunch. Get some over easy eggs on top and thank me tomorrow. This is absolutely TO DIE FOR. (And yeah, it's on top of that amazing sourdough I mentioned earlier)
5. Blueberry muffin: my first foray into their pastries. Yup, delicious with a hint of orange citrus that will leave you going, "is that? oh....that's good."
6. French toast: meh, skip. It's the sort of french toast that you can probably make at home. Good? Yes. But you have so many, better options.
Lunch
1. Brisket Sandwich: If you're here for lunch, stop reading. Just order the brisket sandwich. The caramelized onions, the sourdough, the brisket roast, sigh. It's just perfect. (Try their house balsamic with a side salad)
2. Grilled Cheese: so here is where I have an issue. My better half had the option of monterey jack, cheddar, and american. He chose American cheese. Look, I get it, it reminds you of your crappy grilled cheese from childhood, but it just doesn't work. Listen to me and get the monterey jack or cheddar. The American is just sad and sorry on that fantastic sourdough. Together, we can beat nostalgia.
3. Pastrami reuben: It's a great reuben. I just keep forgetting that I'm not a big reuben fan. It always sounds like a good idea, and then I'm disappointed that it's exactly what it should be. If you like reubens, this will make you very, very happy.
This is my new favorite place to eat in Phoenix. Reasonable prices, clean, friendly staff, and, most important of all, fantastic food!!!!
See you there!
