Came here for brunch with fellow Elite Yelper Latrice A. We try to get out and check out new places while spending some time together. As a rule, I am not a fan of doing too much in Wrigleyville just because. In general, the area doesn't appeal to me as a hangout place. Usually when I am in the area, it is something very specific.
When Latrice suggested this place, the name immediately was a red flag for me. But because I wanted to see her, I went with the flow. I am so glad I did as this was a very pleasant surprise, and I will have to bring The Doctor and The Queen to try it out.
They have a $35 All-You-Can-Eat Buffet & $20 Mimosa Package for brunch. This is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., every Saturday and Sunday. There is an outdoor area and seating/bar area on the first floor. The brunch is on the second floor. While the brunch is the typical server yourself, we had a lovely server who brought over our silverware, arm bracelets to show we were old enough to drink, and she kept me in mimosas the whole time. I was really impressed with our server as she was working the entire section and somehow seemed to hit every table that needed a refill on the mimosas.
As far as the food, there was your typical brunch buffet, but it was good and there was a large selection. Latrice got brisket, but she didn't care for it. I think burnt ends are not everyone's cup of tea, but I liked it.
There was also an omelette station, sliders, pizza, nachos mac and cheese potatoes, French toast, waffles, chicken, pork and turkey sausages, yogurt, parfaits, and a donut/dessert bar as well as other stuff I can't remember. I thought the spread was great considering the variety and the price.
I would recommend getting there early when the food is fresh, and it is not as crowded so you can have a conversation. They don't do brunch on game days and that is nice. Parking was not so bad, I did a Spot Hero about a block away for $6, but there were spots on the street when I arrived.
