| - Ummmm really?
Went to the M Resort for the Sunday brunch buffet with some friends that were visiting. I know its weird being a food snob but they have root beer on draft and it's fun to gorge yourself once in a while with 200 different dishes at your disposal. Usually not a wait, but I guess the rave brought a lotta people this weekend and the line was a mile long. Nothing else open except for Hash House and the Deli.
I actually ran into some lady on a plane about 6 years ago on a business trip who said her friends' son owns the place and it was really great. Never been there till now. I've heard some mixed reviews, but I went in with an open mind and an empty stomach.
They were running a 30 minute wait which was no big deal. Service for the most part was adequate at best. I do not have a high opinion of this place even though they have I think 5 locations and some exposure on Food Network. Putting a lotta slop on a plate is all it takes? Definitely yes "twisted farm food". Has anyone ever seen what the pigs eat? Watch "Shaun the Sheep" if you're not sure. Food took a LONG time to come out. The worst part is that my wife's food never came out. The waitress apologized 5 times and finally comped her meal. When her dish which was mostly undercooked partially raw egg french toast came out everyone else was done eating. It came with grilled banana and the running joke was, "In 45 minutes they couldn't remove the peel and finish cooking the toast?"
I'm sorry but I am not from the Midwest while I highly appreciate Southern cooking, there was nothing remotely nostalgic, tasty or appetizing about the food. One of my friends did order the "Man vs Food" special which was probably the best thing on the table. A huge piece of fried pork with some scrambled eggs and a maple sauce. The only dish slightly decent was this reinterpretation of Japanese tonkatsu. Also tried the side of biscuits and gravy. It was ok, the one at Babycakes in Summerlin is much better in comparison.
I had the Andy fried chicken which was a 4-5 oz "airline chicken breast". It didn't taste bad, but wasn't anything special. Everyone keeps referring to the GIGANTIC portions. There was this huge plate with 2 grade A SMALL eggs over easy, 2 strips of bacon, as I stated a 5 oz fried chicken breast, maybe 3 helpings of mashed potato with a super dry biscuit the size of a tennis ball and a Rosemary branch sticking out. Most of the plates were the same, supplemented with mounds of potato and smothered in thick cream sauces with big branches of garnish. YEAAAH.....I guess that's value if you can eat the plate too. DO YOU PEOPLE know that you are paying $12-$15 for mostly potato which is dirt cheap.
BTW what's the point with the dry biscuit and they don't even offer any butter? Might as well serve toast, at least it's edible. I know people that grew up on farms and I don't think they would write home about this biscuit, which made the portion size bigger but really sucked.
Also had the Pistachio Mocha. It was a basic iced coffee drink with a pistachio syrup drizzle over the whipped cream.
If you like cheap slop and long waits, by all means this is the place to go. I will not be visiting any of the other locations....ever.
