Remedy Diner

October 7

2 out of 5 stars

This review is only for Remedy’s breakfast – after all the hype I’ve heard from friends, we were pretty disappointed.

Despite the artsy hipster interior and matching-themed waitstaff, Remedy’s breakfast offering did not cure “what ales us.”

Hubs and I both ordered the Remedy Breakfast, which for 7.50 includes 2 eggs, sausage (or bacon), gouda grits, and a hash brown patty. What we got was fairly standard prefrozen sausage and hash brown (exactly like McDonald’s) plus a relatively tasty bowl of grits and what looked to be more like 1 egg worth of scrambled eggs. This was FAR from a $7.50 value! The brunch special of the day was tuna cakes, which didn’t sound super great.

I hear the dinners are amazing, but I think the Remedy team should rethink breakfast.

Flying Biscuit Cafe

April 5

4 out of 5 stars

My mother and I were starving by the time we were heading towards downtown and I remembered that Flying Biscuit was on the way to the SPCA. We stopped in in the early afternoon and didn’t have to wait for a table. The menu had been calling out to me, but what to order? Something with the fried green tomatoes? Well I needed to try the biscuits for sure.

I ordered the country eggs benedict, a poached egg with country sausage patty on a biscuit with country gravy. It was heavenly. Mom ordered whole wheat french toast, which came with creme anglais and raspberry sauce drizzled on top. The sauces on top reminded me of the two types of doughnut filling, raspberry and boston cream. It was hard to stop eating. The bacon was thick and crisp, the sausage was tender and the gravy had just the right touch of sausagey flavor.

The service was good and the food was good, there’s not much more to say. With breakfast available all day, why not give the biscuits and cran-apple butter a try?
