Junction Breakfast

[pabloa3]

I took my 2 year old to Easy Street – seated right away but waited for 45 minutes for our food. Fortunately he was a happy 2 year on this day. But the food is not worth the wait.

I like Skylark – who else serves tater tots! There food is good (not great) but the service is very good.

Endolyne Joes and Eats have good brunch. Charlestown Cafe is good but busy.

Charlestown had a wonderful breakfast menu, but I got a little tired of their “red skin” potatoes, would have loved to be able to substitute good old fashioned hash-browned potatoes instead. I’m very happy they’re coming back! Circa used to be a favorite until my wife found a fingernail in her salad and got some sarcastic and insulting remarks from the server when it was brought to their attention. Easy Street is also good if you have the patience to get served…no comments about their cleanliness which is sometimes lacking.

WRT service at Easy Street (and probably other places) — it pays to get known; to be a regular; to say hi. (Not that any of you don’t.) We’ve gotten to know servers at Easy Street and Skylark; it makes it more fun to go back and the service has never been lacking.

OTOH, while I’m very happy the Charlestown is coming back for all the people who like it, I’ve always thought the food was fairly dull. I mean, I can make toast and scrambled eggs at home. Well, I don’t, but I could :-)

Easy street, you have to be a regular to be served. I’ve given up after waiting for a table for a half hour cuz the waitress is having a coffee break with a regular. That’s not cool. It’s one thing to be social and friendly, but c’mon. Although it’s half and half there for sure, depending on who’s working.

Skylark is just all around great. Nice to everyone. You don’t feel like you have to be in *the club* to be treated well.

In the spirit of Skylark, recently found out Calamity Jane’s in Georgetown has the same vibe. I always hate the first time trying a new place, but they treated us like we had just sat down in their home. Harassed me and everything (in a good way:) Loved it.

I would love to be a regular someplace so I could guarantee good service, but I can’t afford to go out to eat that much. I can’t be like that at my job so why can waiters and waitresses be like that?

I won’t even shop at Easy Street because of the snooty hipster ‘tude. I certainly wouldn’t eat there! Now, if only Rubato served breakfast we’d be in business!

I’ve never eaten at Easy Street and now I definitely won’t.

If you really wanna mess with the hipster staff, go in and ask for a hopelessly dorky CD, like Engelbert Humperdink, or Danny O’Donnell, or anybody you happen to like that anyone else has ever heard of–watch their faces twitch with barely concealed derision…

(not that I would encourage something so juvenille just for entertainment purposes.) ;-)

I’m really bemused — I am as UNhip(ster) as can be–the record folks have always gone out of their way for me too (even when I’m looking for even unhipper things for my dorky friends). And, as everyone knows–it’s certainly not because of my innate warmth and charm.

Same with the restaurant. I’m not doubting other folks’ experience — just wondering if this means I can now dare to stumble into some of the other incredibly hip shops in the junction without fear of being thrown out :-)
