Here it is Fathers Day and my beautiful wife's birthday. We had decided Friday night we were going to go out for breakfast on Sunday at the Buttered Biscuit in Sumner, WA. On Saturday we invited the neighbors to join us.
We arrived around 10 am expecting it to be busy on Fathers Day and boy were we right. There were people everywhere. We parked the car and got our name on the waiting list and were told it would be about 45 minutes and it was about 45 minutes exactly when they called our name. We were seated in the downstairs portion of the restaurant and it was rather warm inside even though they had all the doors open.
A young man came by right away, gave us water and asked us if would like anything else to drink, we all opted for coffee. Keeping in mind it was Fathers Day, it took about 20 minutes before a waitress came by and asked if we were ready to order. Joe and I ordered the "Don't be a Chicken", Mellissa ordered the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and Becky ordered the "222-2" which consisted of French Toast, eggs, fried potato's and bacon.
They brought out corn bread that came with the breakfast that Joe and I ordered, it was wonderful, sweet like honey and vanilla topped with butter. Most corn bread is dry, but not this little piece of perfection, it was nice and moist. As we nibbled on the corn bread and drank more coffee, we waited for another 30 minutes for our food to arrive and in the mean time they came by the table quite often to fill up our coffee and water. We finally had to say no more coffee or we would not be able to eat our breakfast.
Finally the meal came, the "Don't be a Chicken" consists of fried spuds with green peppers, onions, seasoning and Grandmas Eggs (scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, sausage and cheese), with a split biscuit on top and 12 oz Chicken Fried Steak, double loaded with SOS gravy.
Mellissa's Cinnamon Roll French Toast was made from a homemade cinnamon roll sliced in half, dipped in egg, cooked on the grilled, dipped in cinnamon and covered with sweet cream butter, powdered sugar and whipped cream.
All was good in the world except Joe wanted his "Don't be a Chicken" with no onions and we did not discover until we both started eating that they mixed them up giving me the onion free version, even though the person who delivered the food made a point to tell Joe his was onion free. Mellissa's Cinnamon Roll French Toast was good, too bad they over cooked it and it was a little dark on the top and hard.
Overall I would rate the portion size at a 10, the food at an 8, service at a 4 and cleanliness at a 7. Hopefully the whole experience was lessened a little by the crowd for Fathers Day. But the lady behind me did not like her meal and the guy in front of us wanted to complain to the manager, but ended up just leaving.
We need to give it another shot when it is not a holiday, and I would also like to try it out for lunch or dinner.
