| - To preface this, I am reviewing a delivery order. I had gone out the night before to see Run the Jewels at Brooklyn Bowl. Needless to say, I stayed out late, woke up late, and had zero desire to cook, go outside, or wear a bra to be able to go outside. But I really wanted pancakes and hadn't restocked on eggs or milk. Enter, Bite...
Not only did I get pancakes, I got THREE flavors, thanks to the pancake flight. I expected little baby pancakes, but was pleased to find a one full-sized of each that I ordered. Considering I ordered a second entree for myself, I realized I was on the verge of a "couch potato morning binge". Anyway, I ordered confetti, chocolate chip/banana/pancake, and buttermilk. The second pancake was my favorite. Given the travel time, they were still warm; maybe not as fluffy, but they did the job.
My second entree was steak chilaquiles. Bomb. The steak was tender and juicy. I ordered a fried egg due to the travel time but I can imagine the dish being even better with runny yolk.
We also ordered the corned beef hash and eggs. I thought it could be more crisp, but it was otherwise great tasting. It was then that we discovered that though my husband doesn't like canned corned beef hash (which is not what Bite serves), he also doesn't like real corned beef in corned beef hash. Go figure. Nothing against Bite's version.
However, the star of the meal, and perhaps the breakfast menu, are the churro waffles. I expected a cinnamon-sugar waffle, but these bad boys are literally a waffled churro. You get the bite and chewiness of a churro with crispy waffled ridges all coated in cinnamon-sugar. Move over Costco churros...
I can't speak fully to service since I stayed home in my sweatpants. However, I had difficulty ordering one plain pancake. I selected the one that looked closest. The restaurant called shortly after my order was placed to explain that I couldn't get mile high pancakes (stack of 5 buttermilk pancakes) in the flight, but that they could give me one buttermilk pancake. I appreciated the call to make sure we both had the same expectations.
Someday, I may find the energy to go outside for pancakes. Until then, I enjoyed this delivery.
