| - While I'm happy to have another restaurant choice off of Concord Mills Blvd, the food this round was purely average. Famous Toastery has a fairly large menu, with a breakfast side and a lunch side, any of which can be ordered anytime. Breakfast options included omelettes, eggs Benedict variations, French toast and flapjacks, while lunch options consisted mainly of sandwiches, burgers and salads.
We tried the EGG WHITE WRAP with Brie, tomatoes and avocado. There was absolutely no flavor and the whole thing was very mushy, lacking any textural variance. The house made salsa on the side was very tasty and the only thing that saved this dish. The TURKEY REUBEN was exactly what we anticipated. The turkey was dry, but the rye bread was beautifully grilled. HASH BROWNS are not shreds, but rather are more like home fries. With the addition of salt, pepper and hot sauce, these were pretty tasty.
I really wanted French toast, but when asked if it was good, a waitress told me she thought the flapjacks were better. Not a ringing endorsement, which is why I didn't try them. The service model is that "everyone is your server," which can often go badly but it worked for us today. The service was good with our drinks staying filled and never needing anything.
The prices are too high for what you're getting. I'll pay these prices at Toast, Flipside Cafe or Terrace, but here I felt like I could do everything better at home. The omelettes and salads were $11-12, with a $2 upcharge for egg whites. Sides were $3+. Overall, I'm glad to have another breakfast/brunch option, but honestly the food is better and prices are cheaper down the road at Cracker Barrel.
