| - After seeing this place get a bunch of great reviews, it's about time that I decided to give this place a try so my friend and I ventured out to Aunties & Uncles for some grub!
Before I start reviewing this, HOW DOES THIS RESTAURANT NOT HAVE ANY ICE? I asked the server if I could have a glass of ice so I can pour a hot cup of coffee in it since it was so hot and humid today. I'd even pay extra if I had to, but the server told me that they ran out of ice and don't have anymore. WHAT? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! I was absolutely devastated, I'm not the type to lash out about these things but really? NO ICE? I wanted to cry. Their excuse was that they didn't have enough room for an ice-box. They should really invest in one, just saying.
Inside, the decor was very old school with the mismatch of furniture similar to Lady Marmalade's decor but a little bit more run-down and antique looking. They have a open kitchen as well but it was very tiny.
The service here was attentive and the servers were very polite and nice.
Now onto the food, I ordered the breakfast tacos while my friend ordered their blueberry pancakes.
It took a while for the food to come but I wasn't really worried about that since I'm very patient.
The breakfast tacos were alright, kind of tasteless but it filled me up. I liked the meaty salsa-like sauce in the taco, it gave the tacos a nice zingy kick to it. I had two side dishes to choose from, potato salad or the hash browns and I chose the hash browns. Why would you call it hash browns when it's just potatoes lightly panfried. I was hoping it'd be little fried bits of goody goodness of potatoes but it wasn't. Very misleading.
Now onto the blueberry pancakes....oh where oh where to start....I'm speechless. Just thinking about those pancakes makes me want to hurl. It tasted horrible. It didn't even taste like pancakes. It tasted very undercooked and nothing tastes worst than undercooked batter of any sort. My friend almost died from eating it (exaggeration but seriously, it was that bad).
So my final verdict is that I will not be visiting this establishment ever again because it just wasn't worth my money and time.
I've had way better tasting brunch elsewhere. I don't understand the hype for this restaurant, I really don't. I wanted to love this place but this restaurant was lacking in food quality and taste. Who knows, we might've went on a bad day but the food was sub-par.
The truth hurts but it just wasn't an enjoyable food experience, I'm sorry Aunties & Uncles, I really wanted to love you like how the others love you but I just can't. I'm deeply sorry.
