Breakfast in KC (Stop 11/16)

Alright.... I know that is has been a while since I've done an installment of the 13 Best Breakfasts in KC tour. With all of our life changes, brunch wasn't really a regular thing that worked with our budget and schedules. THANKFULLY, things are a little more normal these days and we went and tried our luck at Beer Kitchen over the weekend!

Sunday is the only day of the week that Beer Kitchen actually serves brunch so we had to take our chances with the line. We went early - about 10:00am - hoping to beat the crowds. When we go there, we only had to wait about 15 minutes, so it wasn't too bad. They have a pretty neat system where they ask you your phone number and then they text you when your table is ready in case you want to walk around Westport while you wait. We didn't choose to leave the restaurant, but I still thought it was a cool idea.

Once we got seated, we started out by ordering an order of their Drunken Doughnuts! [Mini-powdered sugar doughnuts with grand marnier hot chocolate]. These were delicious and a great pairing with our coffee to start off the meal. They have a number of breakfast cocktails and such, but I decided just to stick with coffee this day.

  

 

As far as food, we had a great experience. We ordered The Breakfast Stacker [cholula butter fried egg, smoked bacon, black forest ham & chipotle white cheddar on toasted brioche bun; served with brunch potatoes], which is on the left, and The Classic Benny [black forest ham, poached eggs, hollandaise on english muffin] on the right. Both meals were prepared well and were delicious. I was impressed by the breakfast potatoes, and I was really impressed by their Whisky BBQ ketchup! I found out that they sell it by the bottle, so if anybody needs a gift idea for me... there it is!

Overall, we really enjoyed the food, but with it being SO busy it was quite loud and we had a hard time having a conversation with each other. Also, with Sunday being their only brunch day, it left our server very busy so we felt like the experience was lacking.

We would give Beer Kitchen a 8.5/10.
