I have to say, I was apprehensive about stopping in given their pretty poor Yelp grade, but I was really happy with my brunch!
My friend and I wandered in after Emma's was closed unexpectedly for an electrical problem. The line was pretty long but moved fast; we were sitting at a cozy corner table with coffee in under 30 minutes. Score!
Everything on the menu at Starving Artist is either contained within, or on top of, a waffle (genius). I decided on the Breakfast Waffles: two mini potato waffles topped with caramelized bacon, poached eggs and (what else?) maple syrup. Each of the egg dishes is served with salad and your choice of fruit or potato salad (I went with the fruit). Everything was delicious. The bacon was crisp and the perfect mix of sweet and savory, the eggs were poached to perfection and the waffle melted in my mouth. We tried a mini S'Mores Waffle for dessert - nothing special - but a tasty bite to finish the meal.
We had great, speedy service and tasty dishes with lots of flavor. Give the St. Clair branch another go! I certainly will.
