Mini Oscar's Annex - Sumner

We ordered three drinks, Tatchos, the pulled pork (verde) Benedict, a side of French toast, and a side of grits. The menu is impressive! Our meals had a mix of flavors, but they didn't quite hit the mark in terms of being flavorful, if that makes sense. The pulled pork in both dishes was a bit disappointing; it wasn't overcooked, but the taste was mostly just smoky without any real seasoning. On the bright side, the French toast was exceptional—some of the best we've ever had! The grits were average and a bit bland. The prices seemed very reasonable, especially considering the recent rise in food costs. We’d love to give this place another shot because their menu really is intriguing, but first impressions matter, and we would rate our experience as a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I was eager to try this place since I’ve visited D.O.A. in Tacoma a few times. Although the menu features several enticing options, my experience was just average. Today is my birthday, and I decided to check out Mini Oscar's Annex. The Moco Loco I had was decent, but I could barely taste the cheesy grits. My friend ordered the two-egg breakfast, and unfortunately, the diced potatoes were quite hard. The bacon also had an odd taste and texture. Additionally, there was only one small slice of sourdough bread, and it wasn't even toasted—it felt like an afterthought. I’m sure I’ll give them another chance, perhaps for dinner next time.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The latte was excellent! However, the food could use a little more flavor. A touch more seasoning would really elevate the dishes!

Yikes, I was served raw bacon. When I brought it up, the staff said they serve their bacon cold like that. Perhaps this should be mentioned on the menu so that customers can choose whether they want to eat cold, pink bacon alongside unmelted cheeses? They also informed me that they don’t offer refunds. I paid politely and left. I won't be returning because paying $50 for breakfast for two on a Sunday should include some expertise in preparing delicious food.

I really enjoy their breakfast selections. The moonshine mimosas are a fantastic addition. The morning server is incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere that makes me eager to return.
