| - I've Walked Miles For Their Breakfast
The interior of Dr. Generosity is very cozy with dark cherry stained wood decor, low lighting and warm service (the wait staff seems to be always *happy*).
And their breakfasts are hard to be beat. The hubby and I go there occasionally as a "reward" for our 5K or more walks on early weekend mornings and not once have we made it before the long-line-up-nearly-out-the-door begins.
I believe they do have reservations; but not for their weekend brunch hours. They won't even allow you to have a table until your whole party has arrived, which makes sense with their limited seating, but has frustrated quite a few customers. If you do try their brunch, expect to wait 10 to 20 minutes on average.
Is it worth the wait though?
If you're really in the mood for eggs benedict or french toast, then yes it truly is worth the wait. Not sure about the rest of the menu, 'cause I don't believe I've tried anything else for their brunch.
The stuffed french toast is roughly a third of a loaf of bread (not sure if it's homemade, but its definitely not Wonderbread!) With different toppings every week, such as bananas and pecans, or mixed-berries, neither hubby or I have finished an entire serving of their french toast on our own.
The allure of the eggs benedict platter has more to do with the home fries than the eggs for me (though they are delicious in their own right); I've tried reproducing the potato mixture at home with some success, but coming from a lover of all things potato (disclaimer: except *baked*, yuck!) Dr. G's version of breakfast home fries is pure gold.
I'll admit, we did leave once before being able to order. I'm not a fan of adult high-chairs (you know, the ones where you need a grown up to help lift you into them 'cause they're so high?) Dr. G's has three of those type of seating arrangements at their front window, and I believe those seats are also used at their bar... Anyway, I tried sitting at one of their front-window tables for a breakfast, but my legs cramped hard and we left instead of waiting another 20 minutes for a real table (but that's more my fault for agreeing with the waitress to sit us there.) What also wasn't all that pleasing that morning was the front door to their restaurant continually banging into the back of my chair as other customers walked in and out.
I did mention the place was cozy right?
In essence, it's definitely worth trying Dr. G's for a weekend brunch, but try to stay clear of the front tables for two.
