I thought I would send you into your weekend thinking about brunch at Johnny Brenda’s. I have already mentioned my love of their grits and I am glad to know that even with some changes in the kitchen they are even better than before. I have also found a new love at JB’s brunch, whiskey doughnut deliciousness. $2 gets you this plateful of doughy goodness.
Another great deal is that for $8 you get a very generous sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. It comes with potatoes but I got grits instead. The sandwich was good but not my favorite. I think I’m spoiled by Honey’s sausage, egg and cheese on a biscuit. The eggs were fluffy and cooked just right. The sausage had a great maple flavor which makes for my favorite kind of breakfast sausage. I found the roll a little too big and maybe filled a bit too generously with eggs. All in all it was a very satisfying brunch dish. I could have probably eaten a whole other serving of grits though. They are so creamy!
I am really hoping that someone from JB’s reads this because they must bring back the shrimp and grits dish I blogged about previously. My friend, who is a regular of JB’s brunch, was very clever and ordered grits and their bbq shrimp app. What came out was shrimp and grits so they should just put it on the menu already! Did I mention I love their grits? Grits, grits, grits!
Take me with you the next time you go. My mouth needs a whiskey doughnut.
how have i never had a whiskey donut? they look amazing.
i think we need to compile a list of the best bar food under $4 in philly.
(so far it’s popcorn from royal, the tuna app from pub + kitchen, and those donuts. )
that donut pic is almost too much for me to handle. must. eat. all. donuts.
I need shrimp & grits! and whiskey donuts!
I. NEED. THOSE. DOUGHNUTS.
Tasty nibs
gravy makes me smile.

The best part about ordering those doughnuts (with a smile on your face) is that after you’ve eaten the one served before your meal, another one shows up at the end of your meal.
