Oink Cafe Experience

He Said   We have all heard of flights of fancy or maybe flights of wine? Oink Café took this idea to a new level with Flights of Bacon. Instead of maybe sampling a few different bottles of wine, you get to try 8 different flavors of bacon. Presented on a pink pig shaped plate, the strips of bacon come with a legend, allowing you to decide which one you liked best. I don’t know how one gets bored with bacon but none the less, they do change the types of bacon from time to time so you can be assured you will never get bored. This menu item is what brought Oink Café to my attention since I fully support the old saying, “Everything is better with bacon”. However, we were pleasantly surprised with all of our menu selections. The service was very friendly and even though they were slammed the entire time we were there we were frequently checked on and even had a visit or two from the manager. It is a good size too so the constant flow of people on and off the wait list is pretty quick. Be forewarned it does get extremely busy during the weekends, so expect a wait. There is a small bar area that is first come first served seating in case you feel like trying out your stalking skills on who is leaving. They serve a nicely proportioned mimosa along with a few beers and a couple of bloody’s. If we hadn’t ordered the flight of bacon I would have tried their bacon bloody Mary but I’ll save that for the next visit. On to the food and what a treat you are in for with any selection you make. Suffice to say I was starving by the time we started our brunch and I may have gone a little overboard as I took home a doggy bag. After our flight of bacon I ordered the “Three Little Pigs in a Blanket” with hash browns and an extra side of biscuits & gravy. Little is inaccurate and total misrepresentation of this plate. Three full sized pancakes wrapped around 3 sausage links the size of a roll of quarters. I mean this was more than enough food in itself but it also came with a side. I had the hash browns and they were cooked super crispy and shredded just the right amount. I can’t stand getting hash browns that are still super mushy on the inside. These were crispy throughout with just a small thin layer of soft in the middle. The pancakes were just the right amount of sweet and doughy. The sausage looked homemade but I may have been wrong, but in either case they were quality sausage links. No frozen small links here. My side of one biscuit and gravy was also a large biscuit and absolutely covered completely in sausage gravy. It had a nice hint of rosemary and a few large chunks of sausage. They have a full meal of this but I warn you that the side might be plenty for one person. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, mostly because I think you can have whatever you want for breakfast and it’s ok. Oink Café’s lunch menu looks just as appetizing but it might take me awhile to give it a try as I already have my own waiting list of items on their breakfast menu. Others at my table had waffles and omelets and they were all just as delicious as my plate. So never fear, even if you aren’t a big pig eater there is something for everyone on this menu. One last thing to mention is that they also make bacon maple donuts and donut holes. They are the most delicious looking versions of this donut that I have ever seen. I didn’t have room to taste but by the looks of it and the amount I saw coming out of the kitchen they won’t disappoint.
