Saturday Brunch with my 2Favs is a weekly To Do (for the most part) & being still new to Charlotte we try to experience different restaurants until we find that SPECIAL place to make our weekly location.
Today I logged into Yelp to see what was near by fit brunch & Briggs as well as Cast Iron Waffle appeared. We started at Cast Iron Waffle & once we found that they only served waffles & coffees with no sides (egg whites, turkey sausage, etc..) we quickly exited & headed to Briggs.
The reviews were mixed but every restaurant deserves a try if the reviews aren't horrific. So a try is what we gave BRIGGS & our review is below.
I had the Shrimp & Grits minus bacon & a side of egg whites:
There was EXTREMELY TOO much cheese on this concoction plus the shrimp was those cheap nasty baby shrimp that I am not a fan of. The pita pints grilled on the side of the shrimp & grits were the highlight of the meal. The egg whites were greasy..
The Mr. had a egg white Garden Omelette with a side of turkey sausage & honey wheat English Muffin:
The omelette was average as well as the rest of the items. It was all edible & something he'd order again if we were to visit the restaurant again in the future.
My mini ME had the Chicken & Waffles: As a chicken & waffle connoisseur the waffles were soft & the chicken tenders were fatty & extremely HARD & not tasty at all. Besides that the side of eggs scrambled with cheese were extremely runny & cheesy it seemed like a pile of wet fried cheese..
Maybe we didn't get the right items but I can't promise that we will revisit this place again because we've found much better places to have brunch at in Charlotte thus far, HOWEVER if we do I will be sure to update my review if the food we try is any better.
Service:
The entire staff was pleasant & attentive, even the chef came out to speak & personally serve our table & a couple of the tables near us.
