This is a review of the Granite City brunch buffet. I arrived to a nearly empty restaurant at 10am on a Sunday morning. After about a 5 minute wait at my table, we were greeted by our server and offered drinks. We were also informed that the price of the brunch buffet had increased to $17.95. Whatever, I thought, if it's good it won't really matter that it's priced at the higher end of Sunday brunches around town.
My mistake: it would have been overpriced at $1.79. I could go on and on about how the choices were limited, about how the Eggs Benedict had been sitting in their pod for so long that everything was congealed and dry, or about how the turkey bacon was a monochromatic strip of cold, limp tasteless faux meat. But you will get the picture if I just say that the best thing this buffet had going for it was the wheat toast. It was all down hill from there.
Do yourself a favor. Make yourself a bowl of cereal and pass on this mess. Especially at $17.95.
