Smitty's

Time to review my first chain. Not every eggs Benedict can come from a local establishment, and I would speculate that some chains have their eggs benny perfected. So I went to Smitty's to give them a shot. Now, Smitty's is another establishment where you can get breakfast all day - so if you're in the mood for eggs Benedict on a rainy Thursday evening, you can head to Smitty's. They have more than one option for eggs benny on the menu, and I won't lie, I was tempted to order the 'Clubhouse Eggs Benedict,' which comes with turkey, bacon, and a slice of tomato, topped with a poached egg and hollandase, but for the sake of consistency, I just ordered the regular eggs benny.

The order came out quickly, and the plate was quite full! Only $12.49 for eggs benny and what I would describe as a mountain of hashbrowns. The hollandase was very creamy and tasted great, although it did appear to be breaking slightly - maybe the butter was left a fraction too long. My eggs were poached correctly (phew), and that ham was shaved, so it was refreshing to see something other than a hamsteak. That being said, it was a tad salty, and by the end of the meal, I was craving some water! Not to be outdone by the eggs, the hashbrowns were fantastic, crispy and not over seasoned. 

Was the hollandase made from scratch? Probably not, I am eating at a chain folks. Was it good? Yes. It was a bit salty, but paired with the delicious hashbrowns and good price, I can't complain!

Smitty's, you did well, here's a 3/5.
