Cuisines
Cuisines catering is located on W Broad St. in Richmond’s far-west end.
For over a year, I’ve noticed Cuisines—located next to a Blockbuster and a BBQ place, serving weekend brunch. Finally, today, after my favorite Boychik’s Deli was overflowing with customers, I tried Cuisines.
I almost wish I hadn’t.
Cuisines is small—and cozy in some regards. It appears they have a regular lunch menu with various sandwiches. By “brunch” they mean breakfast, including pancakes, eggs, french toast, and the like. I ordered their eggs benedict and an orange juice.
The wait here was terribly slow. Inexcusibly slow. 15 minutes and all we had was coffee and orange juice. 35 minutes, same thing. After some 45 minutes of waiting, we finally saw food. And the food wasn’t worth waiting for.
The Eggs on my “Benedict” were so thoroughly cooked that the yolks were fully cooked. Some may like that, but the whole point is a runny yolk sauce. Speaking of sauce, they piled on so much of that goopy, flavorless yellow sauce that it my plate was like a pool for it.
The potatoes that came with the eggs were mushy.
My first visit to Cuisines was a major disappointment. The atmosphere was grimy, the space cramped, the service fatiguingly slow, and the food, lackluster. I can’t wait to go back to Boychik’s.
