| - Biscuits is OK. I'm not opposed to returning, but I'm in no hurry to do so either. The food is a little better than those national chain breakfast spots...but it's nowhere near phenomenal either. The concept of the restaurant is sound, and it seems like the owner's intentions are good; but the execution isn't fully up to par.
NOTES:
+The biscuits are indeed good. Big, fluffy, hot, & fresh. They're even a tiny bit crispy on the outside. Very tasty...and I don't even usually like biscuits.
+Served with real butter (not margarine). Nice.
=Bacon was decent...crispy, and not super greasy. But it wasn't super thick and meaty (and apple-smoked) like some of the better breakfast spots.
=The chili was ok. But it could have used less cumin in the recipe. There was so much that it almost had a curry taste.
+My eggs were cooked perfectly! A perfect over-medium. That's difficult for a lot of restaurants to get right. Props.
=Hashbrowns were decent. Not very flavorful though...and they aren't really generous with them either. Potatoes aren't THAT expensive, and it looks better when the plates come out full.
-Corned beef hash was awful. Too many green peppers in it. That's all you tasted. Bad recipe. I wonder sometimes if the chef/cook even loves to eat when I taste a recipe that off.
+Generous with the soda. They give you an extra little container with your initial (big) cup of it -- that way you're in no danger of running out. [I personally don't drink that much, so it was wasted on me, but I appreciated the thoughtfulness.]
+Service was good. Friendly. Speedy. They even took the corned beef hash off of my bill because I really didn't like it. Very cool.
Overall, tremendous upside for Biscuits. It definitely has potential. I'll probably be back at some point, but it's not at the top of my list of things to do. Still, I wish them the best. I hope they continue to improve because Ahwatukee could use a solid diner-style breakfast spot.
