Brunch Review: The Lodge.

I knew immediately when I stepped into the Lodge that it was the kind of place you can trust for a good brunch. The atmosphere is a funky and homey blend, and according to Andrea it is huge by Brooklyn standards.

Look at all the warm woods and antler chandeliers. Cozy, huh?


We were out for a very casual Sunday morning brunch (along with the rest of Brooklyn) so we were delighted to find out that mimosas and Bloody Marys were two for one, at only $9 a person. Yes, please, and thank you.

I don't care for Bloody Marys. But I do care that it is served in a Ball canning jar. Perfect! I wish the mimosa was that big too...

The menu included hearty biscuits, egg dishes, french toast and buttermilk waffles. Apparently many people (my bestie Andrea included) like to eat burgers at brunch, so they are common on the menus in Brooklyn.

Andrea's burger was huge and rare - the way she ordered it! I knew there was a little Kansas left in her, eating that huge rare burger. The little bites of burger I had were yummy. I'm from Kansas. I have an opinion on good beef, and this easily passed the test.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so of course I went traditional with pancakes and sausage. They were pretty heavy on the buttermilk which made them perfect for soaking up syrup. The blueberries were sparse, but added fresh pops of flavor.

Brunch is my favorite time of the day to eat "out." The whole day is ahead of you. Girlfriends are honest and conversation is casual.
