Terrible brunch spot by Kelly W. at InsiderPages
After hearing all the great things about Steak Street, we decided to give it a try for brunch. We should have taken a clue that the entire restaurant was empty.
The brunch menu is extremely limited with only 4 or 5 items(however, you can still order off of the full menu, but what's the point of offering brunch). I ordered the shrimp and grits, my husband ordered the breakfast offering of eggs and bacon, and we ordered a grilled cheese for our daughter. The shrimp and grits were TERRIBLE. They were nothing like traditional shrimp and grits and the flavors were completely conflicting. Easily the worst I have ever tried. My daughter's grilled cheese was honestly just okay (I'm not sure how you mess up a grilled cheese, but somehow they did). My husband's breakfast was good, not great. The muffins they served prior to the meal were good, but they were the same kind you can pick up as a mix in a little pouch on aisle 4 of the grocery store. We finished with a piece of key lime pie. It was good, but again, not great. For brunch, the prices were a little high, in my opinion. Our meal was a bit over $40.
I will say that the service we received was great, and that is the only reason for 2 stars rather than 1. We had a very pleasant server who was very attentive. The atmosphere was okay and would probably be better with other people in the restaurant. It was a little spooky being literally the only ones in the dining room.
We will be going back, but it will only be because we did not get to use a gift certificate that we had (we did not realize we were there the first day of the furniture market and the gc was not eligible during market). We will definitely only go back for dinner, though. For brunch we will stick with Liberty.
