D.Rough and I hadn’t been to Nighthawks, even though many of
our friends had recommended it to us. We set up a time to meet our lovely
friend AllBlack and have some brunch. The place is bright inside, but still has
an upscale diner kind of feel. We waited less than five minutes before getting
a table, even on a Saturday around lunch.
The menu has all kinds of delicious sounding really inspired
and unique food items, especially the pancakes. We decided to split a table
poutine and each of us would get our own meal. I went with one of the specials –
the Brisket Hash. D.Rough got the chorizo cheddar corn pancakes and AllBlack
got the breakfast sandwich. And since we were right next to Five Watt Coffee,
both the ladies ordered a Big Watt Circuit Bender Cold Press.
The entrees arrived pretty quickly, and I was impressed with
the size of these things, as well as the presentation. The brisket hash was
outstanding. Really tender and flavorful pieces of briskets on a bed of three
different potatoes, with some salsa, guac, and pickled onions – then, covered
with an egg. Every bite had all the components in it and it was a really heavy
duty brunch meal.
The chorizo cheddar corn pancakes were surprisingly great.
It sounds weird to put al those things together, but it totally works. They had
layers of ingredients worked in, not just put on the top section. Nicely done,
Nighthawks.
The breakfast sandwich was also great (I heard), and the hashbrowns
were perfectly cooked. Not soggy and limp – they were crispy and tasty all the way
through.
Sadly, our table poutine came out after we were finishing
our meal, so none of us were really in the mood to eat it. I lied – *I* was in
the mood to eat it. It was great. It had a ton of cheese curds and a wonderful
gravy. It was covered with a LOT of banana peppers (maybe too many) and then
another fried egg. The flavors were great, but I embarrassed myself by only
being able to eat half of it myself. Hahaha
I liked this place even more than I expected to like it –
which was already going to be a lot. I should have listened to people sooner
and gone here. Highly recommended!
