James Brown's Place - Rochester

I've never had anything here that I didn't love. The French toast is amazing, and the dishes featuring cheeks are also outstanding.

I'm glad to see they offer a good selection of vegan options for breakfast and lunch, but unfortunately, everything I ordered today, aside from the sausage, was quite unsatisfactory. While it wasn't completely bland, the taste was far from enjoyable. It's really disappointing because the presentation of the dishes was fantastic, yet they ultimately fell short. The eggs had a strange, rubbery texture and a strong flavor that was off-putting. I also tried the short stack of vegan French toast, but it was poorly seasoned and barely cooked. There was no syrup or butter, just overly soft slices of white bread with a tiny bit of butter and some cinnamon sprinkled on top. Sadly, I don't see myself returning here again.

The waitress was kind enough to bring almond milk for my coffee. Our food arrived quickly, and I appreciated that they use separate cooking surfaces for the meat dishes. Overall, the food was good. I felt that my dish could have used a bit more seasoning, but a little salt and pepper fixed that easily. My partner thought his dish was perfectly seasoned, so it may just be a matter of personal taste or the other ingredients he added. Regardless, we both enjoyed our meals, and the prices were fantastic! Where else can you get all this for just $30?

Vegan eggs are rubbery and not big taste. Sausage is very dry and hard.
