Food Critic: Brother Jimmy’s Union Square

A-Tooch and her +1 were treated to a brunch experience at the new Brother Jimmy’s in Union Square this weekend. (Being a local food blogger does have its perks…)

This location (7th on the map for Bro Jimmy’s) far surpasses its counterparts, which tend to be “collegiate” in nature and sometimes too rowdy. That means you, Upper East Side, even though it’s a great spot to catch a game on TV.

We started out with some extremely powerful drinks that left us (er, just me) on the floor. Mike had a some Sweet Tea-infused vodka beverage and I had the Plantation Punch. Whoa.

For my meal, I ordered the chicken n’ waffles. When in Rome, right?

Mike ordered a very intense breakfast sandwich. Complete with, my favorite, sauteed onions. YUM!

Satisfied customers.

Oh, and you don’t have to be a freeloader to get a good brunch here. For a very reasonable $13.95 you’ll get one of these tasty entrees, coffee and an “eye opener.”
