| - I'm waffling between 2 and 3 stars. 2 is "Meh. I've experienced better," which is completely true in terms of service and speediness. 3 is "A-OK" which is how I felt about the food. To be honest, I think the food was way better than "A-OK" but the time it took to get our food? Man.
I know we couldn't have picked a worse time to come: Mid-late morning on a Sunday. I know! We had just finished working out and decided to finally try the Breakfast Joynt just a few doors down. (Amazing idea to open a breakfast/lunch place with healthy options right next to a gym. Bravo, Joynt owners!)
We snagged the last "regular" table (there were a few high-tops around the bar area) and looked over the menu. I think it's AWESOME that split plates and "egg whites only" are free. Also, the build-your-own omelet section isn't restricted to the usual 3 items before extra charges are thrown in, like it says on the menu. Server informed us that it was unlimited. Heyo! Unfortunately, I had already decided on my 3 ingredients and I panic in the face of change so I just went with what I was planning: Egg white omelet, broccoli, mushrooms and feta. I subbed out the hash browns for fruit, which was annoyingly a .75 up-charge, but I understand how restaurants work. Fruit is more expensive than potatoes.
So we waited. And waited. AND WE WAITED. It was a really ridiculous wait for breakfast. To the tune of about half an hour. Hanger levels were approaching dangerous levels. Finally (Finally!) our food arrived. The omelets were awesome! Fluffy and open-face...I beat the boyf to the clean plate club. I know! Fruit was tasty--melons, honeydew, grapes, freshly segmented oranges. Wheat toast was thick slices, but just toast. You have the option to get toast or a pancake (This option is glorious, btw) but we decided to not blow ALL the good work we had just done at the gym. The pcakes looked really tasty though. I'm not sure we'll have that will power next time.
A little busser girl came over and took our plates away quickly. Too quickly? ("I felt like she was eyeballing me like a hawk as I took my last bite") And guess what? MORE WAIT. WAITING. WAIT ALL DAY, ERR' DAY, YOLO. Our server had DISAPPEARED. I gawked around and realized a new girl was helping to deliver food to tables our server had. Finally she emerged from the back with a gigantic tray of waters, orange juice and coffees. Ugh. The dreaded breakfast drink overload. I felt her pain, I really did. Especially because huge church goers aren't known for tipping especially well. Still, it would have helped for someone to see our cards on the table and swoop in and help a sister out. That left me kinda miffed.
All in all, the omelets were the star of the show and really saved the over 1.5 hour breakfast visit. We'll definitely have to come back on some NOT Sunday morning to see if the service works out better.
