I don't normally do a review on a place where I had a grab-n-go item...but therein lies the problem: I didn't know that it was grab-n-go. This bougey little place is one of 2 joints to get breakfast midweek in Guerneville. I looked at the...menu and thought that Biscuits & Gravy (however overpriced) would be good after a late night. When I ordered, I said 'For here' because I was going to take home one of the specialty biscuits. She said, 'Everything is to-go.' 🤔 Against my better judgment I didn't mention the specialty biscuit, and I chose B&G. It should have been the other way around. Here are the problems:
1) It came deconstructed. See photo. So, I forwent crumbling the bacon on top.
2) B&G really needs a real plate, not a to-go box.
3) The biscuit was sweet! Like a British scone sweet. Not good for B&G. Actually, awful!
4) The gravy was thin, like milk, not like gravy for B&G. This REALLY requires a real plate, not a box.
5) The gravy instantly made the biscuit a soggy mess.
6) The flavor of the gravy was overpowered by the sweetness of the biscuit. No balance.
The bacon was nice. $3 for 3 pieces is definitely a bargain these days.
The staff were recent high school grads who were completely disinterested in customer service. The cook was quick, so I didn't wait long.
Overall...I wish I had gone to the coffee shop for a bagel. But at least I now know.More
