| - I couldn't NOT go to a place that has my name in it! Unfortunately, it didn't really live up to my expectations.
On a Sunday morning, my boyfriend and I headed to Sweet Melissa's for some breakfast. We had already stopped at another breakfast joint where the wait was 45 minutes. When we walked into Sweet Melissa's there were only around 3 or 4 tables. No wait, which was great! But what breakfast place isn't packed on a Sunday morning?
We sat immediately, but our server was VERY slow. For it not being busy, that is one of my biggest pet peeves. We waited about 5 minutes before she even stopped by to introduce herself and give us water. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time.
You do get a little scone and fruit cup to start your meal, which is very cute. Fruit was ripe and scone was really good. My corned beef hash wasn't all that great. Maybe it just wasn't what I'm used to, but there was hollandaise sauce, huge chunks of potatoes, and corn kernels in the mix. I'd be fine with all of that if the flavor was amazing, but it was seriously lacking. My boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy which he said was really good. We also got a side of blueberry pancakes which were just okay. Not that fluffy or flavorful. The syrup was the best part!!
We were never checked on by our server unless we specifically called her over for refills. We sat for awhile when we were finalized waiting for our check, but when she finally came around she didn't have it. I just have her my credit card to have her close out. I was able to go to the restroom and come back before she brought back out receipt.
Overall, there are some good dishes on the menu, but the slow service makes it not worth it to me. You'd have to have a full killer menu in order to negate the slow service.
It's a bummer given their name!
