| - Now I'm not usually a "go out for breakfast" person. Not that I don't love breakfast foods, but it's just that it's rare that a place does something that turns out better than if I was to make it at home. After hearing good things from family about Toast, the miss' and I decided to see what all the hubub was about. We had a great meal, and it was definitely better than anything I could have made from the comfort of my own kitchen!
Toast is located in a quaint area of Davidson that also happens to be near the Farmer's Market. I highly recommend parking at Town Hall since there is only street parking near Toast (plus you'll also be mere feet away from said Farmer's Market.) We got there at a little after 9am on Saturday morning and the place was HOPPING! There were three groups waiting to be seated ahead of us, and by the time we were next to be sat there was an opening at the bar, which we took. Don't get me wrong...there are plenty of tables in Toast. There were just a lot of people also looking to get their breakfast on.
Once we sat down one of the servers came over and took our orders. Within two minutes another server had brought over a basket of corn bread and fresh apple butter-spread-stuff. The corn bread was ok, but the apple spread was DELICIOUS!
I ordered the Country Benedict ($9.95) which consisted of two eggs (however you want), ham and a biscuit, all smothered in sausage gravy. I went with scrambled egg, which ended up being a nice thick layer, giving it more taste and texture. The ham was not some cheesy thin deli slice but a thick, hearty slab. And it was GRILLED! It was sooo good! Then there is the biscuit. It was buttery, flakey and wonderful...everything you could ask for in a Southern biscuit. All the above ingredients were covered in a pool of this sausage gravy that was crazy good. In the end everything came together to make one heck of a TASTETACULAR meal.
The miss' went with a lighter fare and got Cali Benny($9.95) which consisted of poached eggs, avacado and tomato smothered in hollandaise sauce. It normally came with English muffin but she upgraded to a biscuit (.30) and added some spinach to it as well (we were not charged for that.) I didn't even think of trying it because I'm not a fan of avacado, tomato or spinach. She really enjoyed it, and it was so much for her that in the end she abandoned the egg and other things and focused solely on the biscuit.
Both our breakfasts came with home fries. Home fries are always hit and miss because, in my experience, home fries generally mean something different at each restaurant. At Toast home fries consist of chunks of potato tossed in spices. I was not a fan of them...the spice didn't really add any flavor and the potatoes were too soft. I ended up dipping mine in the sausage gravy to give them an extra boost of flavor.
All in all, Toast is a very good way to start your day. You may have to wait a bit to get seated, but once you have a table the service speed really picks up. While I was disappointed with the side of home fries, the rest of the meal was very good and I would definitely go back next time we have a hankering for going out for breakfast.
