A Warning / rant to breakfast goers...
A friend and I decided to head to Kountry Kitchen in Cobden, for my first and last this am.
1- We were told there was no breakfast menu but could order it (eggs) with bacon, ham or bacon- we laughed. (waitress amazing, deserves better)
2-Coffee - ok
3-Breakfast, 2 over easy mine were fine, my friend did not feel hers were cooked enough.
4-Toast - good (mine Rye hers white and burnt upon request, LOL although the waitress did have to ask for hers to be toasted again to meet that request)
5- Tomato - ok it was garnish so the fact that it was half green could pass if I ignored the season blech
6- Potatoes- where to start, keep it simple...I pierced one with a fork and grease/ oil literally oozed out, unfortunately I had put one in my mouth without looking and was almost sick. These were obviously deep fried and more than once, nauseating.
7-the bacon ???
They called little pieces of pure fat...no seriously, just fat... bacon
the strips were cut in half, ok but between two plates there were only 3 half pieces that were edible. 2-3 more that had a slight pink piece visible and the rest completely white fat!!!
So we ask and the really nice waitress who just got told off by her boss says well where do you buy bacon that's not just fat these days, we answered EVERYWHERE!!!
8- Oh yeah, the Bill...they charged $7.99 per plate of nasty and then extra for the coffee. $18.60 ish for 2.
9- We were both quite ill after for a couple hours
We did complain and were given pathetic excuses, I had tried to speak with the manager but then simply decided I just wanted to leave. I paid the full price for my meal and left appropriate tip for the pleasant and unfortunate waitress. I saw a pizza delivered that did look good but I would never recommend them to anyone. They did not wish to hear our complaint or do anything and so I offer it as advise to anyone who is venturing out. Go across the Hwy to Logos Land up the Hwy 2 mins into Cobden and one of the offerings no matter how busy.
Rant over, if my tummy has recovered by tomorrow I may make my OWN cremini mushroom and swiss omelette with fresh chives, just sayin'. read more
