Wanted to try something different from our normal jaunts for breakfast and landed here. We expected it to be busy because of the Easter Holiday and were pleasantly surprised to see multiple open tables both inside and out (as we’ve seen this place packed to the gills on other occasions). We ordered a breakfast Sammy (just egg, sausage and cheese on a sweet bun) and a brunch burger (basically the same as above with burger instead of sausage and lots of sauce). We each ordered a kombucha and sat to wait for our food. The wait was unexpectedly long for what I perceived as a pretty low maintenance order (25 mins) and that was for the first sandwich! The burger came out another 5 mins later. The food was good but underwhelming for the cost. We paid 43 bucks for those 4 items (including tip) and my sandwich didn’t even come with a side! I’ve heard great things about this place. The space is really cool. The lunch items looked impressive. Maybe they were just off their game today.

Farm District Marketplace – Menu with Prices – 328 N Orange St, Glendale

Sad because I really want to like this place. However, the food is less then impressive. Service lacking. Every time I have been here I have had to wait at the register for about 5 minutes before being serviced to pay. This time I thought about actually walking out and leaving my food there for them. You must tend to your customers. Food is overpriced for the freshness. Most of it has been sitting out all day. Breakfast bar is 8.99 per lb for overcooked under a heat lamp eggs bacon and sausage. Salad bar 8.99 per lb. most of their dishes are about 12.99 – 14.99 per lb (chicken salad, Pasta salad etc). I will say the build your own pizza for 9.95 is delicious. Last time I had a sandwich took about 25 minutes to make and was small and underwhelming for 9.95. The fresh juices are decent price about the same as DA juice bar next door. Smoothies cheaper which is nice. I got a bagel toasted with cream cheese for 2.45. HOWEVER, I open the bagel and it was only spread cream cheese on one side of the bagel and not enough to spread to the other side. SO disappointing who eats one side of a bagel with cream cheese and the other side dry?! No to mention after waiting 5 minutes to pay… please up your game up FarmDistrict you have all the potential just hire better staff and make sure things are not just sitting all day and fresh! It’s a fresh salad/breakfast bar, after all..

Jim & Patty’s Coffee People – Menu with Prices – 4951 NE Fremont St, Portland

My coworker and I came here here on Thursday afternoon looking for coffee and something to eat. We ordered iced coffees while the cashier was making our drinks we looked through the display case but didn’t see anything that but sweets. I saw a small case next to the cash register with a few newtons in it. I ordered a veggie newton, immediately after ordering I noticed a small sign attached to a post directly above my head that contained sandwich and breakfast items served until 2pm. When the cashier brought our drinks over I asked if I could cancel the newton and get sandwich instead? I was told that they stop serving breakfast at 2pm, I informed her that it was 2:02. She told me they start breaking the grill down at 2pm with no exceptions. While the cashier was very nice, I was frustrated by the lack of eagerness. Perhaps she could have checked to see if maybe the kitchen was still able to make a sandwich 2 mins after they started breaking down the grill. The breakfast scene from Falling Down flashed through mind.

Fresh Start Market and Espresso – Menu with Prices – 3020 Center St NE, Salem

I used to love going to this place for a quick breakfast. But we went today without having gone for awhile and the quality has gone waaaaaaaay down hill. We ordered a plain bagel, toasted, with cream cheese and a bagel sausage breakfast sandwich. The biggest issue was the breakfast sandwich. What we got, was a microwaved Jimmy Dean biscuit sandwich. This is obviously not a bagel sandwich. Also, even if I had been okay with a biscuit sandwich, I definitely don’t want a gross, greasy, msg filled, microwaved sandwich. But even the plain bagel with cream cheese was a failure. The bagel itself was terrible. It was thin, dense and very dry. When they toasted it, it got even drier and was burnt in places. And the tiny serving of cream cheese they provided barely covered one side of the bagel. This was a huge let down. However! I do have to say, I went here for lunch a couple of weeks ago and got a black bean burger that was very good. So, go ahead and give it a shot for lunch, but for breakfast, you are better off just buying something in the frozen section and microwaving it yourself. It would probably be cheaper and you’d at least be able to pick out something you actually want.

BreadHive Bakery & Cafe – Menu with Prices – 402 Connecticut St, Buffalo

I’ve had a few people rave about the breakfast sandwiches here, so I finally got to give them a shot after a night out in Buffalo. I now understand the hype! I came here with two others on a Sunday morning around 10am. The shop on the inside is small but had a few booths and tables. They have a good outdoor seating section though, which was perfect on this warm, sunny morning. When we showed up, there were a few people sitting outside and a couple inside and we virtually didn’t have to wait in line at all. The menu, in my opinion, is perfectly sized with a variety of breakfast sandwich and lunch sandwich options, a wide variety of bagels, pretzel rolls, and other types of breads, as well as pastries and desserts. They also appeared to have a good amount of vegan items on the menu too. The staff behind the counter were very conscientious and easy to talk to. So I was told to try “The Aaliyah” breakfast sandwich (scrambled eggs, house breakfast sausage, cheddar cheese, butter, and maple syrup) on a bagel for my first time here. So I ordered that on a Rosemary Salt bagel and a cup of coffee. The price for the sandwich and coffee came in just under $10, which I thought was pretty fair. Afterwards, I sat outside and sipped on my cup of joe with my party and it seemed like maybe ten minutes passed and each of our sandwiches were ready. So first thing I noticed was how big this thing was! The amount of egg and cheese was perfect! What really sets this sandwich off though is the breakfast sausage: it was cooked perfectly and had a little spice to it (maybe sage?) and was tender and just so fresh. The maple syrup helped to balance the flavor out between the egg and breakfast sausage and it was not dumped on the sandwich, it was just the right amount where you could tell it was there. I’m not a huge bagel guy, but man, that Rosemary Salt bagel was phenomenal and had a nice chew to it. I’m glad they wrap the sandwich when they serve it though because it feels like the fillings want to slide right off. The sandwich itself though was perfectly sized though as that with a cup of coffee set my day off right and left me very satisfied! I’m very impressed by this little place! I would love to come back and try one of their lunch sandwiches but would be just as happy to order another “Aaliyah”. ?

Belair Donuts Menu with Prices 4045 Jimmie Dyess Pkwy #106, Augusta

Belair Donuts provided us with the the food fuel we needed to make it back to Atlanta after several days in Augusta. We stopped mid-morning on a Saturday and they were already either out or almost out of a lot of their items–which shows their popularity! I was able to snag the last kolache and my sister snagged their last bagel for her breakfast sandwich. If we had arrived any later we would have been disappointed if we didn’t get our savory breakfast items. We also decided to get a couple blueberry donuts for the road, which we both devoured later. Their shop is not big and it doesn’t have much atmosphere but they excel at their donuts and pastries. I also got a hazelnut latte with almond milk, which was tasty. The spicy sausage kolache I ordered had a sweet pastry wrapped around the delicious sausage. I was very good. My sister enjoyed her bagel breakfast sandwich as well. The blueberry donut was good but I imagine other ones like their red velvet would likely be better. Their other fancy options were all gone so maybe if you come early enough you have more options. They definitely get points for creativity with the “paint your cookie”. This would be a dream for a kid to have a sweet treat and also be able to decorate it themselves by using the color sugar to “paint” the cookie. Overall a cool local spot and they also have a drive-through window if you know what you want to order and don’t want to come inside to look around.

Pour Company – Menu with Prices – 136 W Wilshire Ave, Fullerton

I haven’t had an opportunity to come here other than brunch but in Fullerton this is the best outdoor patio you can find and never disappoints in regard to the quality of their food and drinks. I like how Pour has kept it simple with their design, making sure there is ample natural lighting without being blinding. There’s a bar in the patio to make sure that your drinks are never dry and best part is their bottomless mimosas are not pre-mixed if that’s what you so desire. LOVE cause bottomless mimosas which are pre-mixed have never been a good experience for me. Although some of their brunch items may seem underwhelming as it is just the one item with no sides. Trust me that they know how to do that perfect balance in comfort brunch food that looks delicious while not sacrificing any taste. Most recently my husband and I ordered the banana pancakes and the Breakfast Sandwich. Absolutely mind-blowing how amazing they both were. Just think banana foster’s pancakes with just enough sauce dripping off the stack of pancakes but not so much that it becomes soggy. The breakfast sandwich can be made with your choice of sausage or bacon. I chose the sausage but with the other components it was to die for with the perfectly toasted, flaky croissant, the perfect amount of oozing cheese, the eggs perfectly done. After finishing our dishes, my husband and i were stuffed which trust me never happens we eat an insane amount of food. The staff is friendly and nice although when they are really busy sometimes it is harder for them to notice you right away when you need something but overall they’re service is great over the few times I’ve been here. Our go-to spot for brunch in Downtown Fullerton.

High Dive Bar – Menu with Prices – 508 Indianola Rd, Des Moines

I had never heard of ginos until I found it on groupon. They had a good deal of $30 for $50 so I figured why not give it a shot. My wife and I decided to go for lunch. We decided to really give the menu a spin seams it was our first trip and we had $50 to spend. I decided to try the tenderloin with fries. My wife decided to try the burger with fries. We also ordered an order of fried pickle spears. Then we ordered 2 large pizzas to go. The wait staff was very friendly and made sure our drinks were never empty and that we were happy with what we ordered. The sandwich’s and fries came out before the appetizer of the fries pickles which isn’t a big deal to us. The tenderloin is of a good size. It had a good crunchy cracker crust that reminded me of a tenderloin that I had growing up at our restaurant/gas station in the little town of delta where I grew up. It took me back for some reason which was nice. The fries are steak fries which are ok but I would rather a crunchy fry. My wife really enjoyed the burger. It’s a large burger with double patties. It had good flavor and juicy meat. My wife enjoyed her fries as she isn’t one who cares what kind of fries they are as long as they are fries. The fried pickles were hot and fresh. They were pickle spears which is always nice. They had good flavor and the breading was almost like a tempura batter which made them nice and crunchy. The pizzas that we ordered to go we got one with sausage, pepperoni, and banana peppers. The other we got just sausage and banana peppers. After getting home we decided to at least try the pizza. Wow what a treat. The pizza has a good thin crispy crust with a good hearty sauce and a good amount of cheese and toppings. I would for sure come back even if just for a pizza. I would like to try the sausage sandwich and a few other items from the menu. All in all this was a good trip.

Burger Bank – Menu with Prices – 1617 S Weinbach Ave, Evansville

I was in Evansville today on a business trip and stumbled upon this place. A very good burger indeed! I got the burger basket with a single burger, fries and slaw. The burger was delicious, well dressed and everything tasted fresh. The fries are the crinkly kind and they were well cooked. The slaw was good too. There were other things on the menu I would have liked to try, such as their sausage sandwich and their philly steak sandwich, and if I am through this neck of the woods again I will for sure go back! Nice and friendly owner as well.

Fiorello Bakery & Deli Menu with Prices 1180A Western Ave, Albany

If you haven’t stopped in for a breakfast sandwich, you are really missing out! Most days I tend to be prepared and bring breakfast to work or eat before coming in…or just skip breakfast altogether and wait it out until lunch time. Sometimes though, I get hangry in the mornings and take a few steps from my office building next door to Uncommon Grounds. I had basically given up on their breakfast sandwiches as their pre-made, frozen egg patty is just repulsive, and their prices are a bit steep. Paired with lackluster service, I am not always thrilled to order from there. But, I tend to keep it safe and get a bagel with cream cheese, since that usually hits the spot. Today, I wanted something more savory and filling…so I walked a bit further and across the street to Fiorello Bakery and Deli. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought to stop in sooner, as typically Italian Deli’s such as theirs do have some amazing breakfast sandwiches. But, I’m so glad I finally did! Seems like they are a well kept secret in that regard, as there were a handful of people in ordering the same thing I was…sausage egg and cheese on a hard roll. There was a bit of a wait, maybe 10 minutes…which is to be expected when you’re making something fresh to order. The woman at the counter was extremely pleasant and friendly, asked if I wanted salt/pepper and ketchup on the sandwich…I opted for the ketchup on the side so that I could dip each bite as I saw fit. With tax, the sandwich was $4, which i think is really reasonable considering a similar offering from across the street is about $1 more and Fiorello’s puts 2 FRESH eggs on their sandwiches. Paired with the savory sausage, and melted cheese, this sandwich was a literal party in my mouth that I didn’t want to end! I can’t wait to go back…although my waistline probably can…

Trimana Grill – Menu with Prices – 28490 Avenue Stanford, Santa Clarita

Trimana is the closest place to eat to where I work. The staff is extremely friendly: they remember your name, your order, who you usually come in with, etc. Daniel & Lydia (the owners) are the sweetest people ever. Reuben in the kitchen is the best. If you want something special, they will make it happen (blueberry pancakes oh my goodness). They serve up different specials for breakfast & lunch every day. Their Mexican food is worth raving about. Try their enchilada breakfast, for example, and you will be a believer. I regularly get fruit or a veggie juice. Overall great service. I’ve only ever had an issue with ordering turkey sausage & getting regular sausage instead. The occasional long wait time for simple items can be annoying but it’s not too bad & certainly doesn’t deter me from going there all the time.

Fehrenbacher’s Artisan Sausage – Menu with Prices – 411 SW 4th Ave, Gainesville

I’d call Fehrenbacher’s Artisan Sausage a Hidden Gem. Not so much because it’s hidden, more because it’s unassuming. From the outside it looks like a sausage butcher which is exactly what it is but here’s where I touch on the unassuming part. Fehrenbacher’s Artisan Sausage is exciting! It’s an exciting addition to Gainesville which, let’s be honest, has a weak foodie scene. There is a small menu posted up front which does change. A mainstay on the menu is the Sausage Sandwich which my husband got. I ordered the Anthony Soprano Flatbread. Truth be told, I’m not a big sausage fan. I usually only eat it on pizza. But that Sausage Sandwich was so tasty I would order one for myself next time. I am also not a huge fan of salami; I ordered the salami flatbread as a safe alternative to sausage. It was delicious! I was beyond impressed by the fresh ingredients. We enjoyed the food so much we ordered some to take home and cook ourselves. We got NY strip steak, Italian sausage, and a rosemary lamb sausage. The steak was phenomenal (thanks to my gourmet cook of a husband) and the lamb sausage was great too but we weren’t fans of the Italian sausage. We both can’t wait to go back. Here’s what I didn’t like about Fehrenbacher’s: it is super small inside and when it gets crowded, it’s downright claustrophobic. Bad enough that I had to go outside while we waited for our order. Now back to the good: the outdoor seating more than makes up for the lack of space inside. The outdoor seating is the biggest I’ve seen of any restaurant I’ve ever been to. There were even games, so bring the kids.

Travis Chicago Style Menu with Prices 200 41st St S, Birmingham

Wow! Is really all I can say for this food truck. My friend took me to where they were parked on Saturday night and we walked up (sober! Might I add… I think that detail matters) to order. There’s only 4 things on the menu, no sides, nothing. I had the burger and he had the polish sausage. Watching him prepare our food, my mouth was watering and after a short wait, we got our greasy paper bag, piping hot. Well, I was too hungry to wait until we got to our destination so I started into mine on the walk to the car. It was amazing. Juicy, hot, delicious & covered in sauce. Slightly tangy, Perfectly seasoned. The sausage was even better. We sat in the car and devoured our food without anything to drink at that! I couldn’t believe I ate the whole burger but I am also not surprised. It is really that good. Please find them and go. I I definitely know Chicago does not play about its food so I’m excited to tell my cousin in the Chi about what I found in Birmingham of all places.
