For YEARS I have had people tell me I had to try Sabrina's. I have had people tell me it was their favorite brunch spot, but I have also had people tell me the opposite, so I felt it was time to see for myself.
When my girl friends asked if I'd want to try Sabrinas for brunch today, I couldn't say no.
We ended up parking behind the restaurant and walking through their back entrance, which is insanely convenient I must say. My friend said she loves to utilize their outdoor seating when it's nice, and I could totally see how that would be a great experience.
We ended up waiting nearly an hour, which to some might be insane, but when you're enjoying a girls brunch it gives you more time to catch up while you wait.
When we were finally seated, they sat us at a high top, which we agreed to ahead of time. I hate high tops, but with an hour wait it was no time to be picky. Unfortunately, the seats are super uncomfortable especially when you have a big booty like myself. I started to put my purse on one of the extra seats, and my friend informed me they sit other parties at the high tops, albeit on the other side of the table, which I found interesting and which knocked off half a star since I had to watch my girls brunch storytime content a bit more than usual.
I ordered the blueberry lavender lemonade to start, which was heavenly. For entrees, I opted for the Florentine Benedict with home fries. My friends got the veggie omelet, cannoli stuffed French toast, stuffed French toast with bananas ( to share between two of us) and the lemon blueberry pancakes.
Two of my friends received their entrees while my friend and I waited for hers. As a former server at a breakfast place, I'm used to the concept of bringing the food out one plate at a time as soon as it's ready, and usually the eggs are being made by a different cook than the French toast and pancake items, so it made sense.
However the bacon and one of our French toasts took quite some time to come out. In fact, we were halfway done before they arrived ( here's where the other half star went).
All in all, considering the crowds, our server was very sweet and did great. She can't control the pace of the kitchen. Was the food worth it? YES. It was fantastic. The home fries were excellent and I would go back just for those! If they get new, comfy seats I'd wait two hours, that'd how great those home fries were.
I hope to bring my mom one weekend in the future.
