My wife and I dined at Crozet Crepe Company twice over the past few weeks, hoping for a pleasant local breakfast experience. Unfortunately, both visits left us disappointed.
During our first visit, I ordered eggs, grits, bacon, and toast. While the food had potential, the bacon and toast arrived cold. I didn't make a fuss at the time and waited until the end of the meal to politely mention it to the waitress. To their credit, they were kind and removed the bacon and toast from the bill.
We decided to give the place a second chance and returned this morning, hoping for improvement. Sadly, the same issues persisted. Once again, both the bacon and toast were cold. I let the waitress know immediately, and she kindly offered to replace the bacon. I asked for the entire plate to be freshly prepared so the eggs and grits wouldn't go cold while waiting.
When the new plates arrived, the bacon was no longer cold, but it was only lukewarm and far from freshly cooked. I had requested crispy bacon and instead received pieces that were charred to the point of being inedible. Both of our eggs were also cooked incorrectly. My over-easy eggs were over-medium, and my wife's over-medium eggs were fried hard. Even the toast came back lukewarm again.
To be fair, the grits were excellent, but that was the only highlight. What surprised us most was that after sending back nearly thirty dollars worth of food, no manager came by to apologize or check in. The restaurant was almost empty, so there was no obvious reason not to acknowledge the situation.
Places like Waffle House consistently serve hot, made-to-order breakfasts with sizzling bacon and properly cooked eggs at a lower price point. Unfortunately, Crozet Crepe Company offered the exact opposite experience, twice.
We gave this restaurant two chances. We will not be giving it a third.
