Golden Bites Brunchery

FOOD

Golden Bites makes an unlimited breakfast of eggs, potatoes, sausage, breakfast breads and a generous sweet selection. Scrambled eggs and cheddar hash brown potatoes give the savory food its foundation, with breakfast sausage and sausage with peppers and onions alongside. Blueberry pancakes, waffles and French toast sticks bring the griddle-style breakfast foods into the spread. Croissants, pastries, assorted cakes and fruit give the morning a bakery-and-dessert side too.

The sausage with peppers and onions is a useful dish to notice among those familiar breakfast staples. It brings a highly seasoned sausage preparation, giving the savory selection another direction beside the breakfast sausage. Scrambled eggs and cheddar hash browns keep that part of the buffet firmly in breakfast territory. For all the attention the sweets invite, the eggs, potatoes and two sausage preparations have enough presence to make a substantial savory meal.

Blueberry pancakes give the breakfast breads a particular attraction. The berries are baked into the pancakes themselves, so blueberry is part of the preparation rather than merely a suggested topping. That makes a meaningful distinction in a spread that also includes blueberries among its fruits. Waffles and French toast sticks complete the breakfast-bread selection, with several familiar morning preparations available within the same unlimited meal. Their availability follows the changing assortment.

Croissants and assorted pastries extend the sweet food beyond pancakes and French toast. This is where the buffet begins to feel like a breakfast with a bakery selection attached, with the croissants adding another kind of bread to the meal. Assorted cakes take that idea further. Cake has a place on this breakfast buffet, which gives the early meal a little dessert ambition alongside the more conventional eggs and sausage.

Peaches, strawberries and blueberries accompany the pastries and cakes. That fruit assortment gives the sweet side of breakfast another emphasis, with peaches beside two berries and blueberries also incorporated into the pancakes. Fruit and baked sweets share this part of the spread without being the same sort of breakfast: the cakes bring dessert into the morning, while the peaches and berries keep a familiar breakfast assortment beside them. Both belong to the unlimited selection.

The separately priced brunch menu takes a more composed approach. A smoked-salmon omelet combines salmon, goat cheese and dill; Carolina Shrimp and Grits brings sautéed shrimp, mushrooms, green peppers and onions over cheesy grits. Croissant French Toast comes with cream and berries. Those dishes are individual kitchen orders. The buffet’s attraction remains its substantial breakfast spread, including the berry-filled pancakes and the cakes that have cheerfully joined breakfast.
