| - I wanted to update my Hardy's review- this time for Brunch.
The wife and I had children in tow for a walk to another establishment for a Sunday brunch. As we walked past Hardys' they had a bunch sign out front. so we looked at the menu and the wife humored me by saying "lets go"..
Never one to pass up an opportunity for BBQ establishments i obliged:).
I had the biscuits and gravy - and they were really really tasty...my only complaint was that they were a tad on the small side...when you go for southern cooking i would expect heaps...but flavor wise they were delicious!. I also had a side of their home cured apple-wood smoked bacon , which was incredible. i don't get to eat bacon alot so when its that good you just want more and more and more..it was thick cut, juicy, woody soo yummy!.
Now here is the kicker - my wife, the vegetarian decided to have the pancake's she was there to humor me, she was not expecting alot..
her exact quote upon trying the pancakes:
"these are the best pancakes that i have ever had in a restaurant". then she devoured them, along with my sons home fries...
For a southern style meat establishment, having my wife tell me that if we ever wanted to go to brunch with friends, she would want to go there, makes me very happy!. i have enjoyed everything i have tried there.
Unfortunately the place wasn't busy when we walked in, but a couple other tables filled up while we were there. There are other brunch places in the neighborhood that seemed much busier...and i do not understand why...
everything at Hardy's is prepared in house..no boxed, frozen ingredients (this per john hardy, the proprietor who was serving us). I really think people should give this place a try - the dinner menu has expanded and he was telling us they were also going to start making their own steaks and sausages..
Wychwood/Regal heights has some really good establishments and talented chefs up here...lets keep it up - and make it a foodies paradise!!
