Not a big reviewer, but felt the need to leave one after having one of the rudest servers I’ve ever had. Host set the tone for service by fighting amongst themselves, then the servers attitude was horrible from the get go, slamming things down on the table, rolling her eyes, etc. My friend asked what type of muffins they had and she told her to go look for her self. We both work in the service industry, so we know what someone having a bad day is like. There was no excuse to be treated like that.
Breadwinners Uptown was our go to place to grab breakfast after long grueling hours at work. Unfortunately, my recent visit was the worst experience I have ever had as I encountered an incredibly rude, unprofessional hostess/manager. I went there for breakfast/brunch after work to meet a group of friends at 8AM on a Sunday morning. Unbeknown to me, nobody made a reservation for our group, and the rest of the group were not there yet. The hostess/manager placed us on a waiting list and told us that she won’t seat us until everybody is there. Understandably, we agreed because it is a Sunday and also, brunch is their focal point. After a while, members of our group started arriving, and some are minutes away. At that time (8:45 AM), there were a few customers that came in, and you can count how many there were with all the fingers on both hands. We politely asked again if we could at least sit and start ordering since some of us have to leave early anyway, and then those who came later can fill in the seats. The manager/hostess was adamant that she cannot sit us because of how busy they CAN BE during the brunch rush. Then, she gave us two options, either we wait for our entire party, or those that need to leave can have a table. We opted for the latter since we were on a time crunch. Our server (he was good by the way) sat us at a table, where he took our drink/ food orders. Then the hostess/ manager came around the corner YELLING at us that we could not sit at THAT table, where he (our server) had sat us, and she insisted that we move. This was all happening while she sat another party at the adjacent table. SO AWKWARD. Our server apologized and said: “…she's my boss, so I have to do what she says…" That same table we initially sat remained EMPTY until we left at 9:15AM. As for food, I ordered my usual which was the avocado toast, and a chai latte. Both which I typically enjoyed, but after that whole ordeal, I’d say the food alright/unremarkable. Maybe it was me asking the hostess/manager again if we can have a table? Or maybe I just don’t fit in the typical Uptown Dallas brunchers? Maybe it’s Maybelline? Who knows? I’ve dined at places with however many stars they want their names attached, and those that have none but yet so humble and simple. But, Congratulations Bread Winners, as this is a first for me. I have NEVER EVER been yelled at while dining in a restaurant. Needless to say, this is the last time I will ever step foot at your establishment again. It was fun until I was treated like crap.
Had breakfast with our daughter and son-in-law before catching our flight back to Florida after an amazing weekend with family. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away. Our waitress was friendly, professional, and attentive. I loved the atmosphere and decor. The food was delicious and plenty on your plate. I had the breakfast tacos, and I couldn't finish them. Will return when in the area.
