We went to eat at Pauline's for the first time this morning for Sunday brunch. Overall, it was a good experience. The place was packed and there wasn't much room to move around.
The food was outstanding. I had a Denver Omlet and it was outstanding. I also had a side order of strawberry pancakes and they were extremely tasty. My partner had the Lumberjack breakfast which is another name for steak & eggs and he said it was outstanding. Generally, I would say the food is among the b est you can find for breakfast.
the service was acceptable and it all depends on who your server is. I would classify the service as typical of a diner. The staff was good at checking to make sure the coffee level didn't go down. While I never did get my toast with the omlet, I don't think I could have eaten it with a side of pancakes - and I am not too sure if the server didn't misunderstand me and just bring the pancakes instead of the toast. I found the server to be polite and attentive, but not extraordinary.
The place was very crowded - it was a beautiful day and they had folks sitting outside eating at the tables on the sidewalk and while there was no line when we arrived, by the time we left, there were people waiting.
All things considered, I think we will return for future visits - we enjoyed it and found it to be a pleasant experience.
We had a car and could drive here, but for visitors, unless you have a car, it may be difficult to find without some advance planning. It is off the beaten path, but clearly worth seeking out if you are visiting in the Andersonville neighborhood or just interested in finding a new brunch spot in the city.
