So I wasn't surprised when I showed up on a Saturday and the wait was quoted as 30-45 minutes. Crazytown. Luckily for us, a 2 top opened up at the bar in 15 minutes. I ordered the breakfast scramble with house cured lox, green onion and cream cheese which came with hashbrown, toast, salad and your choice of juice, mimosa, bellini, or sparkling wine for $11, which is a pretty great deal. I also ordered a side of bacon ($5) and the buttermilk biscuits ($4) which I split with my friend. The scramble came out and it didn't look like what I was expecting. The eggs were in a small bowl and the hashbrown was a small circular cut. The eggs were moist and the combination of the green onion and salmon were great. The cream cheese was really just used for some light flavoring/texture as you couldn't really actually see the cream cheese in the dish. I enjoyed the eggs a lot but unfortunately the hashbrown was overcooked and a bit burnt. The side of bacon was huge, almost 5-6 slices in total. Some were cooked perfectly crispy with some fat left on it and some were a bit overcooked and too dry but overall the bacon strips were a solid addition to my egg dish. Meanwhile the biscuits were a bit on the heavy side. They were very buttery and flakey...but almost too flakey. The biscuits were so heavy that my friend and I could barely split just one together. I was so full that I didn't eve get to try the toast or salad.
Overall, I still think Buttermilk Channel is a solid place to go for a meal. But best brunch in Brooklyn and a 45 minute wait? Hmmm, not 100% sure on that. However, the prices were super reasonable and it's in a great neighborhood of Brooklyn. Total bill: $24/pp.
