Bad Habit Room - Jennings Lodge

Such a great brunch after the all The snow. Eggs Blackstone and the Korean Bowl were a hit and the mondo mimosas hit the spot too. Little bit of a wait to be seated but that’s Portland brunch, and staff was SMALL but mighty and sincerely friendly. So fun, will do this again.

Longest wait time I’ve ever had for brunch. The food is not bad, but it’s just averagely good, doesn’t worth the wait time.

Pre-covid, Bad habit room was one of our favorite places for brunch. They used to have these amazing scratch made pop tarts. We went back after their first reopening and it was alright. Decided to give it one more shot after the second reopening, and we’re unfortunately pretty disappointed. On the bright side, service was great, and the drinks were really tasty. The food on the other hand really left something to be desired. We got the chicken waffles, and the corned beef hash. The chicken was super Smokey, to the point of it overpowering everything, and it was poorly fried and just really lacking. It also came with only three of the four pieces of a waffle which was odd. The corned beef hash really missed the mark too. The over-easy eggs were over cooked, the potatoes and carrots were undercooked, and the whole dish was severely under seasoned. It desperately needed salt. The biscuit looked like it had sat out for hours. Overall it was not a terrible experience, we’re just bummed and will likely not go back again.

Food was great. We had brunch. We shared the homemade pop tart which should not be missed. My brother had the biscuits and gravy with extra egg. I had the waffle with fried chicken. It was delicious. We thrilled our Mom by bringing home a Pop-Tart for her via takeout. Our service was outstanding. My coffee cup was never empty for more than a minute or two.

I wanted to like this place so badly but the service was incredibly poor some of the worst I’ve received. The food also took over 30 mins and was soggy and room temperature when delivered. The hashbrown looked and tasted like it was from McDonald’s.
