Ann Arbor Jagged Fork-Good food, not hot brunch

Ann Arbor’s Low-Key Brunch Spot – Delicious Mexican-Inspired Bites, No Lines! Not sure if this spot is “popular,” but I’ve been a few times (around 8–9 AM) and never had to wait—total win for early birds! Prices are mid-range (~$20 per person, on par with most Ann Arbor brunch spots except Northside), and the food? So good. No misses here—especially if you love savory, bold flavors 🥞! 🌮 Mexican-Inspired Savory Dishes: Perfectly Balanced, No Grease The Mexican-style plates are the stars—packed with flavor, not heavy or oily: Tortilla with Sunny-Side Eggs: Simple but amazing! The tortilla is fragrant and crispy (no sogginess!), paired with tangy red sauce, rich green sauce, and creamy guacamole. Two runny sunny-side eggs tie it all together, plus a slice of potato cake—crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned (not too salty). A dollop of sour cream adds just the right creaminess—every bite is balanced, no overwhelming flavors. Scrambled Eggs Plate: Solid, but not my favorite. The eggs are fluffy, and the plate has the same tasty sides as the tortilla dish—but I’m not a fan of fully cooked eggs (give me runny yolks any day 😂). If you love scrambled eggs, though, this is a safe pick. 🥚 My Favorite: Bold Benedict + Hearty Hash Browns (Photo 2) This one’s a must-order if you love rich, savory brunch: Benedict: Flavor bomb! The egg is cooked medium—yolk runny, white set—topped with a green sauce that’s creamy like hummus (so fragrant!). Underneath? Crispy, juicy corned beef and melty American cheese—layered so every bite has crunch, cream, and saltiness. It’s a little heavy (in the best way), and the bold flavors hit just right. Hash Browns: Huge portion! Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside—perfectly seasoned. I’m a big eater, and just one Benedict + a few bites of hash browns had me full—no leftover room (rare for me!). ☕ Drinks: Coffee Is Fine, Ginger Lemon Tea Is a Letdown Coffee: Basic but good—hot, strong, and pairs well with the savory food. Nothing fancy, but it does the job. Ginger Lemon Tea: Total disappointment. They brought out a cup of hot water and a single tea bag—no pre-steeped, no extra ginger/lemon. Felt lazy, especially for a brunch spot—skip this. 🤦‍♀️ Only Complaint: Super Chill (Read: Slow) Service The waitstaff is too laid-back—sometimes they hang out and small talk instead of checking on tables. Asking for a refill or the check can take 10+ minutes, even when the restaurant isn’t busy. It’s annoying, but the food is good enough that I’ll overlook it. 💰 Final Verdict: Will Be Back for the Benedict! No lines, great savory food, and fair prices—this is my new go-to for early-morning brunch. I haven’t tried the sweet dishes (French toast, waffles—though adding whipped cream sounds amazing), but since I’m a savory-first person, I’m perfectly happy sticking to the Benedict and tortilla plates. Just be patient with the service! #UniversityOfMichiganAnnArbor #AnnArborFood #AnnArbor #Brunch #MexicanBrunch #AnnArborEats #MichiganFood #SavoryBrunch
