Gato Bizco

Since I just finished up a bad review I want to up my karma with a good one. So Gato Bizco...this is a tiny but homey little joint in Candler Park. There are only a few tables that all seat six and maybe about six bar stools. The decor may seem a little kitschy but if you understand the name then it makes since. (Gato Bizco is Spanish for cross-eyed cat.) The owner is very friendly and always on-hand on the weekends. The staff is friendly as well and they all work together like a well-oiled machine.

The menu consist of breakfast and lunch only and is Mexican-American fare. I personally love having breakfast here so I have never tried the lunch items. My favorite dish hands-down is the Huevos Rancheros. I really cannot count how many times I have had this! My next favorite dish is the Senor Sparky. I will warn that on the menu this dish has six eggs but if one asks they will gladly make it with two. Their biscuits and grits are both yummy too!

The service is consistently good, always getting one seated and served as quickly as possible. I have only  had a mistake made once with my order and the owner recognized the mistake, quickly brought me a corrected dish, and took the charge off my bill. Maybe this is because my husband and I are regulars or maybe he just knows good service. So forget about Flying Biscuit and do yourself a favor. (You won't wait nearly as long.) Go to Gato Bizco!!!

Urban Cannibals Bodega & Bites

Okay, did I miss something about this place? I had breakfast at UC with my husband. Hmmm...not so much. I will say that the owners were very friendly  and accomdating when we ordered off the menu but the food fell short. After ordering at the little counter in back we grabbed a table. The few tables and chairs they have are awkard in comfort and are situated oddly.

When our order was ready we went and picked it up. I had an egg and cheese biscuit and I have to say that the biscuit was so dry it crumbled when I attempted to bite into it. The egg was scorched and this is particularly annoying to me so I didn't have but a couple of bites of my breakfast before giving up on it. My husband ordered fried eggs and they were over-cooked as well. All in all nothing was special about this food or worth paying for.

Since UC also doubles as a general store, while you eat and sit in uncomfortable chairs you can also view the tampons for sale on the shelf a few feet away. Seriously? No one wants to see that while eating.

We prepared to leave when we were called upon to bring our dishes to the back of the restaurant. Even that was strange as there was no obvious place to put them.Upon asking we were pointed to some rusty metal contraption in a corner to leave them on. ???
