Lively, modern brunch spot in McGregor Square with big portions, friendly service, and occasional noise and wait-time hiccups; great for groups and classic-with-a-twist plates.
Restaurant Summary
Set in McGregor Square by the ballpark, The Original buzzes with a retro-leaning diner look and modern polish. Service is often warm and upbeat, with guests calling out standouts like Jeremy. One diner noted it felt fun and bustling, while another said the room was bright and welcoming. Be aware that DJ brunches and event days can be quite loud. The cooking leans classic American brunch with gentle twists: short rib Benedict with chimichurri, chicken and biscuits with hot honey, and a craveable Hangover Burger. Portions are generous and flavors bold rather than fussy, ideal for groups or a pre-game feast. Think reliable comfort with a few upgrades rather than chef theatrics, making it approachable but satisfying for most palates and appetites. Families do well here thanks to kid-friendly staples like pancakes and French toast, bacon, and eggs, plus flexible sides. That said, peak periods and DJ sets can overwhelm little ears, so consider earlier times for a calmer meal. Gluten-free and vegetarian choices exist (tofu scramble, soyrizo), though some guests wished for more GF-with-meat options.
