Ahh, drinking… Yes, it’s fun as hell, but the following morning often becomes a living hell. So what’s the cure? I, like many of my peers, say it’s food… and lots of it. So saddle up your feed bags as we examine this week’s hangover helper: Sunday brunch at PJ Ryan’s.
Upon initial inspection, Ryan’s brunch on Sundays (from 9am – 2pm) may seem a bit steep at $11.95, especially since other breakfast joints in town can get you off for about half as much. But once you check out their offerings, and get greeted and treated by their friendly chef (see photo), those sentiments quickly dissolve into your overpriced Bloody Mary.
No, but seriously, there’s a lot going on here… A Chef’s Build Your Own Omelette Station, Prime Rib, Potatoes, Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Pork Roll, French Toast, Stuffed Pancakes, Donuts, Muffins, Danish, Smoked Salmon, Bagels, and more. Everything was really freakin’ tasty… The only complaint from our group of grubbers was that the potatoes weren’t up to snuff.
Personally, I enjoyed the ability to enjoy both a MTO omelette as well as smoked salmon on a bagel. Those two things together are hard to come by at home or at a restaurant. It would either be too expensive, or just plain impractical. So I say “kudos” to that combination!
Overall, Sunday brunch at PJ Ryan’s is an enjoyable experience. If you get there early enough, you can get a great seat in the porch area. The atmosphere on a sunny morning alone can almost remedy your wretchedness… add some well prepared food to that, and you’re on your way to a semi-productive day!
