Aug 28 Barney's Brunch House Frisco, TX - By Asia-Ashley Joseph

BARNEY’S BRUNCH HOUSE - PRICE RANGE: $20-$25

A client of mine recommended this place. After my last terrible brunch experience I told myself I was taking a brief intermission from indulging in brunch. But, last weekend I was so hungry and didn't feel like cooking so brunch it was, and this place did not disappoint! All I kept thinking while I was eating was "top five, top five, top five." (Drake Reference)

When we walked in it was so crowded, I was sure the wait was going to be foooorever. We were told it would be a twenty-five minute wait but it wasn't even that long. Thanks to the people in front of us who never showed up. We were in and out within less than forty-five minutes! Usually I like to take my time at brunch, have a couple of mimosas and some good conversation. But, this time around I had quite a few errands to run and the timing was perfect! The server came to us promptly and had everything we needed before we even had to ask. One thing I noticed about this place is they were PACKED and not one server seemed flustered. Everyone was so calm and collected.

I ordered a meal that came with waffles, eggs any style of your choice, and sausage or bacon. The menu said "no substitutions" because I don't eat meat, so of course I had to ask if I could substitute anyways. Our server was nice enough to give me hash browns instead of sausage or bacon. The mimosa came out with champagne and a splash of orange juice (emphasis on the splash). I hate when I go to other brunch places and they give you so much juice and a little bit of champagne. While mimosas are a very simple concept I've been to quite a few places that can't seem to get it right, but this place did.

It felt like we barely had to wait for our food. I usually order french toast when I go for brunch, but I decided to enjoy the Belgian Waffle. This had to be the softest Belgian Waffle I've ever had with powdered sugar on top. I was so amazed at how much food they gave and how flavorful it was, right down to the eggs! The hash browns and eggs were plentiful.

When we got our bill it was only $40. We got so much food, coffee, orange juice, and my mimosa for $20 each pretty much. This place really impressed me.

I'll be back just to make my way through their menu.
