We came yesterday and didn't want to wait but then came back today and got our group on the list and waited.

Inside it's pub style, bar available and good music, but not much seating which explains the wait ;) We ordered the 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich, the Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich and the Reuben. Our waitress recommended not getting the onion rings app and to do it as sides to save money, and man, we had SO MANY leftovers. The pork sandwich is super good but so filling. I could only eat half with all the onion rings! The Reuben was absolutely delicious and I would 1000% get that again. The best thing on the menu in our opinion: the Cheese Steak Egg Rolls with chipotle mayo- OMG. We will DREAM about these!!! I haven't seen these talked about much- TRY THEM, they were literally mouth watering and I would have eaten them as an entree and not an app! Overall we would come back again, just be prepared to wait forever for a table and you won't be disappointed!

I have been to Brunches several times over the last two years, and it's time to share an updated review that reaffirms their consistency and deserving of a five-star rating. What truly sets Brunches apart is not just their delicious food and quality service but their unwavering standard of excellence over time. My Brunches experience always begins with their Spicey Bloody Mary, a flavorful treat that may vary slightly in spiciness but consistently delivers satisfaction. It's worth noting that on Sundays, this drink is a post-10 AM delight due to state regulations. Among the array of delightful meals I've savored at Brunches, a few stand out: - The All American Breakfast, featuring a delightful combination of pancakes, bacon, eggs, and grits. - The By The Sea Bowl, a seafood lover's dream with blue crab meat, grilled shrimp, bacon, Swiss cheese, and eggs. - Nutella French Toast, a decadent creation crowned with Nutella, bananas, and strawberries. This is my wife's favorite breakfast. - The Steak & Mushroom Benny, a delight marrying steak, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and a perfectly cooked steak between the two biscuits. - Blackened Shrimp Benedict, - English muffins, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and shrimp. - Chicken & Waffles - a Belgian waffle with two perfectly fried chicken breasts. Consistency is key, and Brunches effortlessly maintains this standard of excellence. From the moment you step in until the last bite, every visit guarantees a memorable meal. Brunches undeniably deserves a five-star review for its exceptional offerings, welcoming environment, and reliable culinary prowess. We plan on have many more delightful breakfasts at Brunches. read more

First things first, the food is always amazing at brunches. Juiciest chicken I've ever had anywhere. The servers are always positive, I always look forward to the wait. It's so worth it. Today I ordered crab Benedict's with a side of sweet potato wedges. Always delicious, always fresh, and always serve hot.!
