Reviews
We thought the food was good not great. They had good dairy free options and gluten free as well.
My wife got the chicken biscuits and gravy. She thought. the chicken was pretty good. The bun and gravy were ok. It was super rich (“it was a bit heavy”).
I got the brisket hash. I loved the smokey flavor with the sweet potatoes. It was also pretty rich.
The coffee was super fruity flavored and a little sour. I can’t do lactose so black is my first go to and sugar if necessary. Personal preference here. I like earthy nutty type coffee, but I know the fruity undertones are pretty popular.
Our waitress was great. Friendly, quick, laughed at my jokes, and handled everything smoothly. Zero complaints. If this review were based on her alone, we’d be planning a second date.
Food:
I had the chicken fried steak. Flavor was solid, eggs were cooked perfectly over medium, and the fried potato medley was legit. The breading, however, did not want to commit and slid off the steak like it had somewhere else to be.
My wife ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was cooked perfectly… moist, flavorful, no notes. The waffle had an interesting flavor profile. It tasted fine to me, but the cinnamon came in hot. Less “hint of cinnamon,” more “main character energy.”
Vibe:
Nice spot overall. My wife, who operates at near-elite cleanliness standards, thought it could be cleaner. I thought it was fine. Jury’s out.
Price (aka “The Relationship Red Flag”):
Menu prices were reasonable… honestly, they could’ve even been slightly higher and I wouldn’t have cared.
But here’s the issue.
There’s a mandatory 16% service charge. Yes, it is technically disclosed… buried at the very bottom of the menu, tacked onto the end of a sentence about Washington’s 9% sales tax. Bolded, sure… but not explained, not obvious, and not something most people would catch before paying.
So now we’re at: 9% tax
16% service charge
tip (because most people don’t notice in time)
That’s over 25% extra, and suddenly brunch feels like a pop quiz in math I didn’t study for.
This takes tipping out of the customer’s hands and turns it into forced gratuity. Good service, bad service, amazing food, disappointing food… the charge is coming either way. That just doesn’t sit right with me.
I’m a good tipper. I’m also a fan of transparency. This trend isn’t it, and it’s the kind of thing that makes people rethink eating out altogether.
Final Verdict:
Good service. Good food. Nice space.
But the hidden-feeling surcharge killed the vibe.
So Brunchenette…
we had some good times.
But the trust is gone.
We are broken up at this point.
It’s not me.
It’s definitely you.
*To be fair, the 2 star rating in this review reflects what I feel (even though it is disclosed vaguely) the deceptive service fee. This does not reflect the food, service, or atmosphere of the restaurant. Just like the vaguely stated service fee I put this at the bottom where everyone is sure to read it.
The service was quick and friendly! I had the Verde Hash and my son had the Country Fried Steak! Oh-Em-Gee!!! That hash was phenomenal! The medley of different potatoes and the deep flavors in each of the components of this meal were amazing! My son loved his food as well, noting how crispy his chicken was.
When I got the check I was surprised to see that it was quite small! We had enough food to take home and tip included, we paid right at $55! We will definitely be back! One of our new favorite spots! 10/10 recommend.
Grits & shrimp – 10/10
