There is a lunch and dinner menu during the week and a brunch and dinner menu during the weekends. We attended during Saturday Brunch before a performance at the theater. We made a reservation in which I highly recommend. Those that did not opted to leave due to the wait time and patrons with later reservations did not find luck getting a seat earlier. I didn't have much wait time at all as my table was provided shortly after arrival. The seating is very close and crowded. There is not much privacy or room to move whatsoever. But lets focus on why we go to restaurants, food and service. Our waiter was very patient, pleasant and did a great job refilling our water. The food was plentiful. The servings were much larger than I expected. We ordered the fried tators with truffle mayo and potato gratin as appetizers. The fried tators were seasoned tremendously. May be a bit salty for some, but they were great to us. I elected to get the chicken and cheddar and jalapeno waffle. There were four large pieces of chicken which included a leg, thigh, wing, and breast. I was full the entire day off of this entree. The bourbon bacon syrup offered a tasty contrast to the heat of the waffle. My date had the french toast which was equally large and delicious. If you want to be full, enjoy a flavorful meal, don't mind crowds or tight seating, the brunch at Meat and Potatoes is highly recommended."^^ . . "0"^^ . . "2016-04-10T00:00:00"^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ .
