Brunch In Savannah: The Ordinary Pub

2/12/2018

Hi friends. First I want to say thank you a million times over for all of your kind words, thoughts, prayers and love on my Instagram post yesterday. I'm not going to address it any further on my blog, it's definitely not something I want to continue to talk about right now but I truly appreciate how amazing you all are. I actually wrote this post a few weeks ago and just never hit publish which is probably the only reason I have anything to post today given everything but I knew I couldn't continue to stay away from this little space of mine any longer. Please forgive me for not being as quick to reply to comments or comment back, given everything that's been going on and me starting my new job, I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things, I hope you all understand. I promise when I get home tonight I'll read every comment and catch up but let's go ahead and jump into today's post, shall we?

It's definitely no secret I'm a huge fan of brunch. Bubbles, bacon, all you can eat food... I mean, what's not to like, right? Every time I go out of town I make it a point to try to find an amazing brunch spot to stop at so of course Savannah was no exception. Lucky for me I have the inside scoop to places in Savannah thanks to a friend who happens to be from there so when she suggested The Ordinary Pub for brunch I knew it was a must visit.

One of the best parts about The Ordinary Pub is they offer brunch 7 days a week. I mean, how can you not respect a place that honors the best meal of the day every day of the week? From amazing things like Bananas Foster French Toast to Steak, Eggs and Grits; they have a little something for everyone. I opted for the Bacon Brunch Bowl and it was amazing. Seriously, just look at that bacon weave on the top... I'm drooling just thinking about it.

The Ordinary Pub offers bottomless mimosas 7 days a week from 10 am to 4 pm (pro tip: Sunday you can start brunching at 10 am but you can't start drinking until 12:30 so plan accordingly) and you can even get a mimosa to go! Yup, you read that right, The Ordinary Pub is home of the Togosa which is perfect if you want to grab a mimosa and walk around town for a bit. I highly recommend making reservations because this place is extremely popular and not very large so it fills up quickly. And despite the fact they offer unlimited mimosas, try to be mindful of the time you spend there because there is probably someone waiting for your table so when you're done eating I suggest either moving to the bar or grabbing a drink to go to get your fill of mimosas!

Again, thank you all for your love and support. I honestly don't know what I would do without your encouragement and support. Sharing that post yesterday was by far the most difficult post I've shared with you all to date but I was overwhelmed by all of your love. You guys are truly the best.

Santiago's Bodega Brunch

2/02/2016

Happy Tuesday friends! Today I'm sharing with you ~~one of~~ my favorite brunch spots in Orlando, Santiago's Bodega. If you live in Orlando there's a good chance you've heard of Santiago's before but maybe you haven't been there. Or maybe you didn't even realize that there are now two locations for Santiago's (one off Mills Ave and the newly opened one in Altamonte Springs) but if you haven't been there I highly recommend trying it out! At $39.95 per person for all you can eat and drink, it's definitely worth it!

Brunch isn't just for Sunday any more! Santiago's offers brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 2:30 pm which is perfect for people like me who like to spend Sunday relaxing. This was my first time checking out the new location which has been open since December 2015 and I have to say, while they kept with the same vibe as the location on Mills Ave this space is much different. The space is much more open which makes it either seem larger than the Mills location or it actually is larger and the wrap around patio is perfect for those gorgeous days. The bar is huge if you're just looking for a place to grab a drink and hang out.

If you've never been to Santiago's brunch before, after you get seated and confirm you're there for the brunch you can order your drinks, unlimited mimosas and sangria (both white and red) are included in the brunch price, then head straight over to the buffet. One of my favorite things about Santiago's brunch is the variety of foods they have.

Instead of just being typical breakfast items they offer a wide mix of breakfast and lunch foods ranging from biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs and muffins to a carving station complete with prime rib, roasted chicken and lamb. They even offer a giant bucket of crab legs and one of my personal favorites chorizo rice!

At your table you have the option of ordering their croissant French toast, pancakes and made to order omlettes and pasta. I cannot recommend their French toast enough and I'm not even much of a French toast person!

If brunch isn't your thing, ~~then we can't be friends any more~~, their tapas plates are just as amazing as their brunch offerings. I highly recommend the Patatas Bravas, Croquettas and the Saganaki as great shareable items!
