| - Honestly, when I first heard the name of this place, I found it unappealing. I thought maybe it was a barbeque place, but upon discussion with a friend, found out it was a breakfast/lunch joint. Ok, now things are getting interesting. We have a serious lack of good breakfast places in this area of town so I though "why not?". I went on a Friday morning about 10:45 a.m. It took me a few minutes to look over the menu, but I decided that I wanted to try the Oink Cafe French Toast since I had perused the menu online just a few days before.
I'd say the restaurant was about 1/3 full which doesn't explain why I waited about 20 minutes to get my food. Disappointment #1. Then the food is room temperature...great. Disappointment #2. I was really looking forward to trying this because the picture on the website looks UH-MAZING. Nope. Looked nothing like it. As the server sets the food down, they mention that "here is your french toast coated in Cap 'n' Crunch". What?!?!?! I clearly missed that on the menu. I asked is that what it said on the menu? Because I missed that part. She says yes. Hmmmmm. Fortunately, I took a pic of the menu and it does NOT say that. The menu says "a sweet crumb crust". I was thinking maybe a brown sugar crumble or perhaps a cinnamon and sugar sprinkling. I don't like Cap 'n' Crunch. Disappointment #3. Be careful when ordering and ask specific questions.
The presentation was horrible. Very boring and uncreative. The only positive was that the bacon was thick and tasty even if it was cold. I guess hence the name "Oink". If you want a platter of bacon, this is your place, but I wouldn't recommend this place unless you don't care where you eat. I can only imagine the service and food if the place was crowded!
Next time I'll hit up Denny's where I know the food will be piping hot, I get a lot more for my buck and the wait is next to nothing. Nice try Oink, but I don't see you lasting long.
