We have enjoyed Early girl over the years. We also really really enjoyed king daddy’s, which is no more, but Early girl still keeps some of their chicken on their menu, which is great.
Our last visit, though, held a couple of disappointments. I know everybody is bouncing back from Helene. We are still bouncing back as well; a lot of trees are still down at the house, and this review is not to tell folks not to patronize early girl, it’s just a few suggestions for those who do patronize it and also the management. It certainly is still worthwhile to go to Early girl!
That’s said, here are the few of the issues we encountered on our last visit.
First, it was so cold. The interior of the restaurant was so chilly. You know they have metal chairs, and so it was shocking when we sat on them. We all put our coats on our chairs so we weren’t as cold. I know they’ll end up with a giant Heating bill if they turn the heat up too much, but it would be nice to have the heat turned up a little bit when these frigid temperatures hit our mountains.
Secondly, the fries were just tasteless this time. It’s like they had no salt or no flavor. That’s not happened in the past. So they may want to just double check what is happening with their fries. My husband said the same thing of their yam scram. I tasted it, and he was right.
My daughter had the veggie breakfast bowl, and she was a bit surprised the spinach was raw. I don’t remember ever having that before, so I don’t know how that is served, but it would be nice if they noted it on the menu.
On the good side, my mimosa flight was delicious. Their mimosas are always a highlight. My king daddy chicken sandwich was very good, per usual. The server was very attentive. I’m just wondering if something was off with the seasonings in the kitchen that day. And, it may be nice to tell folks that the spinach will come raw on the vegetable bowl. That’s a bit unusual.
We do still appreciate and love the fact that they can make things vegan, gluten-free; the biscuits are excellent, they have imladris jams and other local products.
