A: Yes, one star ... My girlfriend decided to take me here for my Birthday brunch/lunch, which I was looking forward to since I had heard so many good things about this place. Getting out of bed late we didn't have enough time to eat breakfast, so we headed into the Burgh. We arrived 30 minutes before our Reservation thinking we might get a table early or a spot at the bar since we were extremely hungry. No room, 40 minute wait? Okay, we'll be back for our reservation, no problem, so we walked over to Six Penn and ordered a few drinks (had an awesome Elysian Stout). After our drinks we headed back to Meat and Taters, checked in and were seated in about 5 minutes. Cool. The first thing I notice is how loud the place is because some DJ in the corner was playing club music! Really? Euro-Club music for Sunday brunch? Definitely not conducive to a two-way conversation, but hey at least the table was tiny enough to hear one another across the table. They sure know how to cram a bunch of these teeny tables into the room. I felt like the couple next to us came with our reservation, but at least the music was loud enough that we didn't have to listen to their conversation. The waiter comes over and asks for our drink order; my girlfriend orders some froo-froo lavender something or another drink and I ask for a cappuccino to which to my surprise they don't have an espresso machine... After the waiter tells me this he walks off, doesn't even ask if coffee will suffice. I guess I don't need a drink after all! I mean really? A yuppie place like this not having espresso? I guess that is the WA Stater in me and being used to every place even shacks on the side of the road that can make me a cappuccino. So, a bit miffed by that situation I begin looking at the menu, and to my chagrin it seems like a hodge-podge of ingredients thrown together in non-traditional ways. Eventually the waiter comes back with the drink, which apparently my girlfriend says is normally a different color and tastes different this time as well. He asks if we are ready to order, so I basically say I would like a drink. I need a beer and that Elysian Stout from earlier was so good .... Chocolate Stout only you say? No Porters? Fine an IPA (normally I love IPAs, but I couldn't finish this one .... I tried, but eventually my girlfriend took it away from me because she knew I was not enjoying it!) So anyways, I order a brisket, egg and potato flatbread out of curiosity and she orders some hash thing. We waited around 20 minutes for the food, which is fine, but despite my hunger I couldn't finish the meal. Not because there was too much food, but because it wasn't that appetizing. Given the choice between Cracker Barrel and this place for brunch I would choose Cracker Barrel. After that we decided to head back to Six Penn, but it was after 230pm so it was closed. Hindsight we should have just stayed at Six Penn. Minus 1 Star for the loud crappy music Minus 1 Star for no espresso and the waiter leaving without taking my drink order. Minus 1 Star for the food quality (or lack of) Minus 1 Star for all the hype that fell flat

A: Service was excellent. We loved our food. Probably the best pancake I ever had. Eggs and potatos perfect. Coffee good diner style. Love this place and the people.

This place gave me the runs....literally...straight to the bathroom after I ate this slop. I should have known better...My spidey senses was telling me to leave..but no, I stayed just because I've been craving, jonesing for Caribbean food. So I placed my order, I had Curry chicken, rice and peas and cabbage. I declined the plantains, it seemed the flies enjoyed it better than me. They were having a blast swarming over the plantains. I paid something like $10.95...which in my opinion was too much considering the proportions don't match the price. The taste was just ok...not the worst..but not the best either. The cabbage was pretty good though. The food seemed old too..if I had to bet $20..that food probably was cooked yesterday cause the kitchen did not look cooked in. I feel like a sucka reading these damn reviews thinking I was gonna get a good meal...I don't know where the hell these folks who left reviews ate at..it sure as hell doesn't seems like its this place. Maybe I came at the wrong time. My 1st time sucked....and my bubbling stomach thinks so too. 2 thumbs down and a wtf.
