| - Again - thanks to tips from Yelp, my husband and I headed over to Pat O'Malley's Jet Room this past weekend for Sunday brunch.
The restaurant is small, but popular. Expect a wait. We arrived around 10:00am and waited for about 35 minutes. Even as we left around 11, there were many people hanging out in the lobby of the Aviation building, and the crowd showed no signs of slowing!
The food here was simple & delicious. I had a breakfast burrito which tasted fresh and was not gigantic or overwhelming as at many places. The only strange thing is that the sausage in the burrito appeared to originally have been a square patty cut into strips/chunks. Strangely enough, when I asked the waitress which dish to choose from between two, she said that she would pick something without sausage because she didn't like the kind they served there. I ordered the burrito anyhow, and I'm not disappointed that I did, even with the weird-shaped sausage.
My husband had the crab cakes benedict due to the fact that I was reading Yelp reviews to him at the table from my phone. He was not disappointed. I'm not a huge seafood fan, but even I found the meal tasty.
We both had a side of hash browns. Mine covered in cheese, his with cheese, peppers and onions (another Yelp tip!). Both were good, but not any better than I've had at a number of breakfast places.
While the views of the airport are good, don't expect to be seeing any large planes take off near you. It could have just been the runways they were using on the particular day we were there - but all of the commercial planes were taking off a considerable distance from the restaurant. However, right outside of the restaurant window - many private planes & jets were landing and it's fun to see if nothing else (although try not to get jealous when you see 6 well-dressed people stepping off of a gorgeous private jet).
All in all - a fun place. Would probably not come here regularly, but certainly a great place to bring your out-of-town visitors to show them something different.
