| - I've been meaning to try Run Pig Run since they opened, I've always wondered about the name and how the food would be. I follow them on social media and the pictures of the food look pretty good, but I've read mixed reviews. When I got back from California, I wanted to give this place a try.
Run Pig Run is located right on 17th avenue, right across from National and right beside the Gas station. You can't miss the sign. It was a Sunday afternoon on NYE, around 1pm and only brunch was served (from 11:30am - 2pm). Upon entering, you walk up some stairs and wait to be seated. There were a few tables occupied, décor is rustic yet simple, felt nice and cozy, since it wasn't busy, the girl up front told us to sit anywhere. D and I sat at a half booth half table. We ordered waters and were handed menus. Their brunch menu isn't huge but they have unique brunch items. D and I went with eggs benedict each, they have two options pulled pork and citrus cured salmon so we went with one of each. We were hungry so we also ordered chicken & waffles to share.
Food took a little longer than expected but our server apologized and we were fine with it. First our bennies came out and it looked fabulous. Each order came with a small kale salad as well as triple cooked potatoes and poached eggs sitting on biscuits. We immediately grabbed the potatoes because they looked really crispy and good, and they definitely were! The pulled pork was really tender! The citrus cured salmon was nice, I could definitely taste the citrus. I also think the biscuits had a citrus flavor as well because I tried D's and I could taste the citrus, it was different but a nice change! The triple cooked potatoes were very good, the chunks were thick, triple cooking them was no mistake! They were soooo good. Kale salad was a nice side as opposed to fruit or something ordinary. The chicken & waffles was good too! The candied bacon on top was rummy. The waffle and chicken could have both been a little more crispy but it was still really tasty. Waffle was fluffy, the drizzle of maple syrup was perfect - it looked like there was some whole Dijon mustard grains sprinkled on top which was different but went well with everything. The chicken was juicy and had a lot of flavor! Everything was great.
Overall, our server was kind and attentive. The food was really good, better than I had read and expected. Being the newer kid of the block, Run Pig Run has a lot of potential! I'm looking forward to trying out their dinner menu which is family style sharing plates!
