Buttermilk Channel is one of those “line out the door” brunch spots. NYC has a lot of those. Oh boy.

While, I wasn’t expecting to encounter a line, before the restaurant had even opened, they did manage to seat everyone fairly quickly.

Everything on their brunch menu looked decadent and delicious. Items like Pecan Pie French Toast and the Fried Pork Chop & Cheddar Waffles seemed to be the thing ordered most.

We opted for the pork chop, which was on the larger side. Nicely coated and seasoned and perfectly cooked. Unique for a breakfast menu but also seemed like something that should be on every breakfast menu in the city.

The Lox Platter is a nice option if you’re less hungry. Nothing mind blowing but as good as a lox platter can expect to be. Until Lox can adequately be deep fried and be served alongside dipping sauces, it’s excitement factor has a clearly defined ceiling.

The Banana Sticky Bun didn’t tasty very banana-y. I didn’t even finish it, to be honest. If you’re with a group and are craving something sweet, order the Pecan Pie French Toast for the table and everyone can have a few bites after they finish their own entrée.

As lovely as choosing something like pancakes or French toast for your main course may sound, it usually spells disaster for any sort of post-brunch activities. Your immediate future is a hard sugar crash and a long ass nap.
