Slim Dusty's 'A Pub With No Beer' came to mind as I placed the order for two Brekky Burgers. They only had one egg left. Yep, it was 'A Breakfast Joint With No Eggs'. At barely 10am. No matter, one egg was substituted for a mushroom.
The mushroom was cooked perfectly. The rest of the burger was uninteresting - the bacon especially poor with all those blackened bits you get when the oil is past its prime. The mayo lacked flavour. The bun tasted like something from Tip Top. The coffee was acceptable.
When we walked in we sort of lingered waiting for some eye contact from the few staff. It eventually came with an, "Oh, we're between menus by the way. We're serving what's on here" gesturing to a board of breakfasty looking things. The gentleman who served us looked like he just got back from a hiking trip on a muddy track. Don't get me wrong, I love hippies, but if you're serving food...
We sit down and then navigate that awkward moment where you wonder whether there's table service or you have to go up and order. I go up. That's what you're meant to do - and probably something they should induct customers in first.
Service average. Food less than average. Should have booked a table at Crack Kitchen. read more
