Anyplace that has a drink list for breakfast is A-OK in my book! They have about 7 different Bloody Mary offerings ranging from classic to one served with a fried pickle and a can of Blatz. Not to mention they have about 15 other drinks, all which sound absolutely amazing. I didn't have a drink this time but I have had the Bloody Caesar in the past which is a bloody mary made with Clamato, can we say yum?!
This particular brunch, I enjoyed the smoked salmon platter and it was very good although nothing can compare to my first South Side experience, the chicken and waffles! All I can say is get the chicken and waffles and thank me afterwards.
There is a parking lot dedicated to South Side diners which makes parking convenient and eliminates the hassle of trolling the Tremont streets. Both times, our service has been less than stellar. I get it, you can't expect 5 star service at a brunch joint in Tremont on a Sunday but there's no excuse for not refilling drinks and not checking back after delivering the food to the table. These are server basics which should be mastered by anyone working in this industry, not so here. We were going to have a drink at the bar before we were seated outside and the bartender was friendly and attentive, we probably should have just eaten at the bar in retrospect.
Sub-par service and all, this place still rates a 5 in my book, the chicken and waffles are THAT good!
