| - I arrived with high hopes. A few of us had just finished the Phoenix 10K and were excited for a the glutinous reward of a hearty breakfast. Having eaten at Two Hippies burgers and having seen the huge line at their Taco Shop, I wasn't expecting haute cuisine, but surely a tasty breakfast at a good price.
Things started out well, but went downhill fast. The main item on their menu is a breakfast bowl, and the list of additions you can add is immense. The person taking our order immediately won me over by telling me we could order this as a breakfast burrito. I piled on the toppings and, still lightheaded with anticipation of our feast, threw in a side order of biscuits and gravy for good measure.
When the food was ready, it was packaged "to go", which is how they serve all dishes at the restaurant. So, you're not exactly saving the world when you eat here, but that's another matter altogether.
The biscuits and gravy was possibly the WORST interpretation of this dish I had ever seen. I can't stress this enough. The driest biscuit I had ever tried to drive a fork into, covered in what can only be called a sausage puree soup. Horrible. If that had been my entire meal, I would be giving this one star. I hate to labor the point, but someone at the establishment either needs to rethink this dish or just take it off the menu.
The burrito was just OK. It was filled with all of the ingredients I had asked for. It was hot. But, it really lacked any flavor and the salsa provided was watery and bland. I ended up putting chili sauce on each bite to give it some flavor.
Long story short, I was very disappointed. I walked in with expectations of at least a decent breakfast, but Two Hippies totally missed for me. I can't imagine I'll be back.
