Mason's Grill Review

Went to Mason's Grill for the first time for a Saturday Morning Brunch. It was a party of 3. We got there at about 11:15, and waited for 15 minutes, so not a bad wait time to be seated.

Service: Poor. Waitress was an Order Taker, nothing more.

Appetizer: Broiled Oysters. They were horrible, they were oysters covered with a crap ton of tasteless mixed cheese melted on top. No flavor at all.

Drinks: Bloody Mary's. They were decent, but too thin. They use a tomato mix, and then throw in all the Build-Your-Own ingredients. So while there was flavor, the texture was lacking, and the tomato juice itself was underwhelming.

It took 45 minutes for our Entrees to come out.

Saw that the bartender who made our drinks had a horrible habit of scratching his nose and not washing his hands.

Combo Fried Seafood Platters: Hushpuppies were hard, and not moist. The seafood batter had little flavor, and the fries were...meh. Came out all cold.

Cajun Shrimp Burger: The only thing that came out hot. I think all of our food was held up while they did the burger. It was ordered medium-rare, and came out well done. The shrimp cheese mixture is odd, and had little flavor. It reminded me of the broiled oysters we had earlier.

Seafood Augratin Benedict: Truly disgusting. It has a foul smell to it, there were only 5 little crawfish tails in it. The herbs seem to be there for the sole purpose to overpower the senses. The poached eggs were actually cooked perfectly. But, the whole plate was cold. I didn't eat a thing.

It came with a side, and so I got a pancake. The pancake was dense, and hard to cut with a fork alone. And it was very chewy.

Overall: There were too many rave reviews for this place, and I have no idea why people line up for it. Not worth the $75 for 3 people.
