Not ones to miss out on good food and time with friends, this is the brunch experience x 2.
Today we bring you to Double Comfort located across from the convention center downtown.
This place is definitely is working to pull off the southern vibe. A small restaurant with a little patio, the walls boast reclaimed wood from local barns and the food gives a nod to classic southern cuisine.
Make sure to come early on Sunday's. Due to reservations and a busy morning, we waited for a table for over half an hour. Keep in mind we arrived at peak brunch time (10am), so that was our own fault!
The menu has a little bit of everything, from yogurt and granola to your traditional fried chicken and waffle. Having a few vegetarians in the group today made the variety very important. Some issue with their website wouldn't let us look up the menu, so we just hoped for the best.
Starting with drinks, this ended up being the best part of the visit for us... I'm talking about
BUCKETS OF MIMOSAS, PEOPLE.
Split between the 5 of us two buckets came out to about $10 per person and provided about 3-4 drinks each. Not bad if I do say so myself. Another bonus is being able to make them as strong as you want. All champagne with a spit of orange juice? Thats cool with us.
Bloody Mary's would have been ordered, but their mix couldn't be made without worcestershire sauce and this was not cool with our vegetarians. So we all stuck with Mimosas today.
Food food wonderful food:
The waffle with greek yogurt and granola was a favorite at the table today with 3/5 diners choosing this option. One major bummer was the lack of fruit that was supposed to come with it. We were informed that the table next to us took the last of it. Bastards. But it was good none the less with a little bit of honey added for sweetness.
Behold the GLT biscuit. Goat cheese (Ohio made), Lettuce, and Tomato with the option of adding a fried egg. This was coupled with a big basket of sweet potato fries and ranch on the side.
The review of the biscuit sandwich was lukewarm and $2 for a fried egg seemed a little steep. But the fries on the other hand were a whole other experience. They were light and crispy and complimented perfectly by the ranch sauce. Definitely a must try.

| off to the races! |
I'll tell you there was nothing sizzling on my end of this bread and the bacon was hard to come by. Luckily I ordered a side of yogurt and granola that came with honey, which I ended up using on the bread as well. I did enjoy the yogurt and crunchy and sweet granola that came with it.
This was an interesting visit to Double Comfort. The service was a little spotty but they were fairly busy due to the time of day. Even though we didn't go with many of the staples of this place (i.e. chicken and waffles) I think we got the gist of the menu. Be sure to check this place out!
Ratings:
Food: 3 eggs (probably would have been better with the addition of the missing fruit)
Drinks: 4.5 eggs
Atmosphere: 2.5 eggs
Price: 3.5 eggs (mostly because of the pricy eggs)
Toodles!
