Granny's Kitchen - Review #8

In order to stay up-to-date, I'm going to get the review on this morning's breakfast done right away, as I ideally should every week.

Well this was the first breakfast for us following BJ's retirement on Tuesday.  And surprise, surprise this was also the first time I think I have ever beaten him to the restaurant!  Dang lazy retired people!

Today we stayed local and ventured to Granny's Kitchen, a relatively new place on the south end of Main St. that we had been to once before, prior to starting this blog. It's located in the building of the old Sushi House and has a nice, relatively plain decor, is clean and has muted TV's on the wall with news on.  Our waitress this morning was even a previous Mom's waitress and she gave BJ a hug when he showed up.

Granny doesn't look very happy!

 On this morning, BJ returned to his usual breakfast of pancakes and eggs. The pancakes he felt were average at best, and even somewhat burned.  Definitely far from the recent quality at Shortcakes and Morrison Cafe.

They lack fluffiness!

 I got the Cowboy breakfast which included the same pancakes and an unusual concoction of fried potatoes mixed with sausage, peppers, and cheese covered by your choice of eggs.....which were over easy for me of course!  As you can see in the picture below, It really looks quite delicious and smells really good too. What the picture doesn't tell you though is that for the most part it is really a mish-mash of pretty bland food.  I used ketchup (which I almost never use at breakfast) to try and moisten up the potatoes, but it just didn't help much.  This really needed some hot sauce, salt, pepper and well.....anything with some flavor and a little zing. 

 And overall.......

Food: 3 of 5 pancakes
Cost: $$$$ (out of 5)
Overall: 2 of 5 cups of coffee


Overall, this meal didn't stack up to our recent success at much smaller, emptier, cheaper places. Considering this was our second time going to Granny's I had hopes that it would have improved, but while it definitely has potential it doesn't give you the bang for your buck other than in pure quantity.  Compared to most of the places we've been recently it was substantially more expensive at $10/person rather than $7 or so per person.

Next week we'll be back out trying another new, as of yet to be decided diner.  After that there will likely be some special editions from California where I'll be heading for the last two weeks of October!  Until next time, keep on eating breakfast!
