Funky, hip, and trendy are apt descriptions of Aunties & Uncles. Based on the 4.5 star average review I get my buddies to walk 2 miles Friday morning right after we checked in our hotel. I hoped it would be worth it.
We actually walked past it. The side street it's on is fairly residential is only one of two businesses on this part of the street. With a picket fence and a laid back atmosphere, seating can be a wait since a table for six may have two people seated there. It's apparent that there are many regulars with waitstaff greeting some by first name. There is also many families, I'm guessing those who live in the neighborhood. The decor on the inside reminds me of home basements that are used for the kids' playroom, and with the formica tables the era is the 1950's.
The choices weren't expansive but enough. I enjoyed my croque monsieur with the potato and sweet potato hash. My friends had the steak sandwich and the breakfast taco. They found the steak sandwich to be good, but appeared to be luke warm at best. The breakfast taco was fine, but would have enjoyed a larger portion. I think the problem we found was that the waistaff was not as attentive as they could have been. I believe this is due to them being used to having so many repeat customers and people not being in a rush to eat and go. So I'm not surprised why there would be long waits on weekends. It's not a huge place and people like to hangout there. So if you're hungry make sure to get there early and take public transportation.
