| - This is my second review of Joe's Midnight Run, this time for brunch. We absolutely loved Joe's for dinner, so we tried it for brunch today - and we loved it just as much. This is a truly unique menu, with a great mix of classic and inventive dishes. Same great beer and cocktail list, and same great atmosphere and service. But the food is what makes this place great, and the five dishes we ordered were all winners. The biscuits with a spicy chorizo gravy was amazing, and too big to finish. Their burger is worth ordering just to take a picture. It's covered with pork and slaw, and stacked with huge chicharrones on a spike, over a foot tall. The scrapple was a really unique presentation of pulled pork, pressed with polenta and fried like a cake with a tomato-based sauce. I had the spicy breakfast noodles, which were stir fried with sausage and served topped with 2 egg yolks that you break and mix with the noodles at presentation. At the end o the meal, we had the monkey bread, which I consider to be a "must order". Sticky, crispy, chewy, with caramel and pecans, topped with bacon. Amazing. I had a few Dragoon IPAs with brunch, and left very happy. If you like great food, creative dishes and something generally different, this place is for you. It's the coolest restaurant in the city.
