My husband and I stopped by Monkey Wrench on Sunday for the brunch buffet. In a word, awful (and we like the Monkey Wrench most of the time). The brunch buffet we had there about a year ago was fine, so I am wondering if things have gone downhill or were they just having an off day.
The food....
We spent some time, trying to figure out what was going on with the gravy. It was weirdly sweet. We finally decided that someone in the kitchen had intended to salt it and had mistakenly grabbed sugar.
The eggs were the pre-fab, bag stuff. Cold and bland. The sausage patties were super dry and oddly flavorless. Bacon soggy. Biscuits dry. Then there were other items we just couldn't figure out.
The grossest thing was this one chafing dish filled with roast beef strips and mashed potatoes -- all stirred up into one very gray, unappetizing mess. They weren't mixed up due to diners serving themselves and inadvertenly messing up the presentation. They were actually intended to be stirred together. The result was not pretty. I didn't try it.
I won't go on, but back to my original question. Was it just an off day? Has anyone else tried their Sunday buffet lately?
