| - Okay, Another Broken Egg Cafe, we're done. It's not me, it's you. Really.
We've been a handful of times over the past couple of years since they opened. At first, it seemed like a great addition to our list of breakfast places. However, they've been going downhill for quite awhile now, and I say enough's enough.
I've tried various breakfast menu items here, but nothing has ever wowed me. Breakfast is my favorite meal, and for nothing to wow me from a breakfast place with egg in their name is pretty sad. The Eggs Benedict is so-so. The Black Bean Benedict is dry. The Andouille sausage is gristly. The crawfish too fishy and suspect. The omelets are just plain amateur-looking . And the breakfast potatoes have never been anything but bland (no seasoning whatsoever) and overcooked.
This past weekend we went. We arrived and were, surprisingly, almost promptly seated. We just had to wait for the server to clean off her own table, which took longer than it should have. No bus boy? How about the lazy teenage boy walking around pretending to be a host occasionally? Or maybe the manager wandering around pretending to look busy, but never really doing anything?
It took us awhile to order and then even longer to get our meals. One of the kids ordered the Cajun Crawfish Skillet, and he even pointed to it on the "special" menu so our server could see what he wanted. After about 20 minutes, another server came by (not too happy) because apparently the kitchen had asked her (instead of our own server) to ask what kind of potato skillet he wanted. He was confused (as we were) as the miscellaneous server rattled off some options. He picked some and she ran away. I then went to grab a menu from the host stand, because it all seemed odd. That's when we realized that our server must have put in the build-your-own potato skillet into the machine instead of the Cajun Crawfish Skillet. But...wouldn't the machine ask you for the items for the build-your-own potato skillet? Anyway, we chased down the 2nd server and explained what must have happened. She said she'd advise the cooks. The food came out after much more waiting and our server said "The Cajun Skillet" as she placed the plate down. However, it wasn't the Cajun skillet. It had the items that he had told the 2nd server out of confusion. We brought this to our server's attention a few minutes later and she said that he had only ordered the potato skillet, not the Cajun skillet? What? First, if he HAD ordered the build-your-own potato skillet, she never asked what he wanted in it. Second, when she delivered the plate, she specifically called it the Cajun one! She offered to have the kitchen make the correct one, but we didn't have another 45 minutes to waste. We just asked her to make sure we weren't charged for the higher-priced one he DID originally order.
Yes, she brought us some complimentary beignets after we had waited there for over 30 minutes for our breakfast food. And they were good. But everything else was, as usual, bland. My Bacquezo omelette (one of the only things I've tried that has any resemblance of flavor) looked like a five-year-old made it. The accompanying potatoes were -- as usual -- bland, unseasoned, and dry. The English muffin was slightly warmed, but nowhere near toasted. When you're charging a few dollars more per item than IHOP, don't you think you should step up your game? And how sad is it when IHOP outdoes your breakfast options in both presentable and flavor, and comes out 10x quicker?
All in all, we were there for an hour and a half and had only a tolerable experience. So, yes. We're over, Another Broken Egg Cafe.
