The Bad Waitress ***3/5 stars


Biking is the best way to get to brunch. We saddled up this fine pre-fourth morning to hit one of my old faves, The Bad Waitress. I mean, how brilliant, to put a disclaimer on your service right in the name of your joint. Truth is, the "service" is not always that great, but I feel like I can't really say anything about it... I, myself was once a bad waitress. A terrible one, really, that spilled coffee on small children and flipped malt cups onto ceilings. For real. But I needed $$ to buy malt liquor and Girbaud jeans, so I guess it was worth it.


So the deal here, if you're not aware, is that you write down your own order and pay at the register. Then they bring your food out. I hope this strategically works for the business, because the novelty of taking my own order is lost on me...


Each table has a persona. We got the Joker today, which Nicki referred to as the Riddler. We almost didn't get our food...


The BW has a pretty extensive menu; whatever you're looking for brunchwise and lunchwise, you will probably find it. They boast organic ingredients. I feel like this is just a given nowadays, but appreciated, nonetheless. FYI, the pancakes are quite good.


Beer and wine only; we ordered a carafe of mimosa.


And a badass coffee for my ladies. Drip coffee makes me rage, so I don't usually partake, unless I need to be woken from the dead.


The interior is really beautiful and eclectic, diner style, and the juke box has some great tracks.


Egg white omelette with turkey and spinach and gruyere. Quite lovely, although I might skip the turkey next time. Something about sandwich meat in my eggs just turns me off.


This be a scramble with broccoli and shit. Nicki was wondering why she was so gassy after this meal...


Another scramble with some chorizo and crap in it. That strawberry jelly was the jam. The hashbrowns were perfection.

 

Sexy fools on Civia's. Get yourself one, so you can go to brunch in style.


The Bad Waitress promises you nothing, but rest assured, Bad Eggs gives this Eat Street gem three enthusiastic thumbs up ;)
