I recently visited T’s Brunch Bar in Midtown to celebrate my son’s birthday with the family ,and overall, it was a lively and enjoyable experience with a few highs and a few misses.
From the moment we walked in, the hostess set the tone she was absolutely amazing, warm, and welcoming. The DJ was on point, spinning the best in R&B and top hits, which added to the upbeat, party-style atmosphere that T’s is known for.
When it came to the food, the presentation was beautiful, and everything hit the table, looking delicious. Most of the dishes lived up to the visual hype ,especially the fish, shrimp & grits, chicken wings, pork chops, and salmon croquettes, which were all flavorful and well-executed. The appetizers were also solid standouts: the seafood deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, catfish nuggets, and beignets were all hits with our table.
Now, as a self-proclaimed oxtail girl all day, every day, I was really looking forward to the oxtail omelet and another oxtail dish, but unfortunately, that’s where things fell horribly short. Both dishes were heavy on gravy but seriously lacking in actual oxtail meat, which was disappointing. I did not get what I paid for. The yams were another letdown , bland and under-seasoned. When I requested to have the additional side of yams taken off the bill after tasting them, the chef or kitchen manager came out and explained that they don’t remove items due to personal preference. I respected the policy and let it go, though it made me hesitant to bring up the issue with the oxtail.
Despite the hiccups, the overall vibe, service, and most of the food were good. If you're looking for a place with good energy, strong drinks, great music, and some standout soul-food-inspired brunch bites, T’s Brunch Bar is worth checking out. Just skip the oxtail dishes.
