Brunchy, Brunchy

Anyone tried some of the newer brunch offerings in the area- I'm thinking specifically of Redbone's and Tu Y Yo's new brunches. I'd be curious to know what you guys think.

tu y yo has very small portions for very high prices

but it is delicious

I enjoyed Redbones brunch a lot. It's not the best brunch ever, but it was definitely above average. There are a couple of set plates with mix and match options, and there are lots to chose from. The hash got rave reviews from my friend, I found the fruit bowl to be unusually good, and we both thought the bicuits and the home fries were great. The eggs are great because the veggies in them are fresh. Plus breakfast drinks!

I haven't tried those two, but I have tried Christopher's in Porter Sq (brunch is new, for them). It was incredible (a couple steps above diner fare, but not excessively fussy, just tasty), for not bad prices.

Christopher's has been doing Sunday brunch for quite a while, I think it's just weekday lunch that's new.

haven't tried redbones, but i love tu y yo's. the oj is fresh-squeezed, they have the quesadillas with cuitlacoche that are always my favorite thing on the menu. i've also had the hot chocolate and a couple of the egg specials, which were more than satisfactory.

mmm. good thing the weekend's coming :)

Tu y Yo's egg/chorizo/beans dishes are really good. Service has always been good for me too.

Tu y Yo is a little expensive, but is very doable if you are into sharing (we ordered a large dish and a smaller one and it worked out fine). I've never been disappointed with them. I was kinda disapointed in Redbones, though. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything very special, either. Then again, I did go when they had just first started offering brunch, so maybe they've added more menu items or perfected the recipes. As a concession, their Texas scramble was pretty darn good.
