Brunch: Bottomless Mimosas & Barbecue

Who would have thought about this combination: mimosas and barbecue!  I'm totally clueless on where the idea originated but know I caught a promo on social media which put it on my to-do list.

Sweet Auburn BBQ introduced me to this dynamic duo- and it was pretty good. I must admit; the brunch buffet felt lacking although I couldn't figure out what was missing. The spread itself was robust and offered an array of different options; multiple meats, several carbs, and a handful of healthy options; some breakfast based choices, while others illustrated the makings of a true lunch. Upon second thought; I believe it was the flavor that was missing- across the board I needed more sauce, more tang, more flavor.  I would visit again, but would likely opt for an entree or surely make a menu based selection for dinning. 

As for the mimosas, servers were prompt with pouring the first round at 1230! That was surely a plus; and have no doubt they kept them coming. I'm assuming because I was 1 of a party of 2, we were not offered a pitcher to self serve for our table. We were not rushed from our table and  therefore were able to enjoy the Virginia Highland setting while catching up and sipping away.  As the sitting and sipping continued, there was a note-able shift in the strength of the mimosas as the beverage appeared lighter and lighter with each refill- no complaints with that over here.

Parking, which must be addressed because Atlanta can be ridiculous for no apparent reason.  With Sweet Auburn BBQ, parking was plentiful as there was lots of street parking which was free but came with the cost of a wall through the neighborhood. Didn't bother me any. But if you're looking for a parking- lot; there's one but it's small which means often full and easily overlooked.

So in sum: loved the concept! Loved the service! Loved the area! Would go again but surely skip the buffet. But of course, don't let my tasties steer you wrong; try it yourself and give me a shout 😝
