Monthly Breakfast Club UYE @ Two Chicks

This was a great event! The Two Chicks staff did a wonderful job taking care of our rather large group. Nancy and her husband had given me a ride, so we got a table together, Kiwi came over and sat with us. The food came out surprisingly quick considering how busy they were.
I ordered the biscuits and gravy with the sausage and scrambled easy eggs. It was good but I will order something different the next time that I come here, because I like it better at other places.
The place is much larger than it looks like it is from the outside.
I will go back and do a review for the restaurant when I get a chance.

Oh wow, gee, another 5 star review for a Unilocal-​related event. No, I was not given free schwag in exchange for a 5-​star review. No, I do not expect extra special service in exchange for a 5-​star review. Yes, I’m fully aware that once Two Chicks found out that this group was full of Unilocalers (Elites, non-​elites, family and friends), they probably stepped up their game. One of the things I love about the handful of Unilocal events I’ve attended (both official and UYEs) is how many times people are GENUINELY glad to match names with faces. That morning I finally met up with people I hadn’t met before in real life (Hey Donna! Hey Sabrina + wife! Hey Rain! Hey Sean + boy! Hey Daniel! Hey Chris! and several others) as well as the more familiar faces of Paul, Michelle, Ly, Robert, Kiwi, Nancy, Robert, Betty and Doug.
I must remember to be brave and sit with new people so that I can get to know everyone just a little bit. It was a pleasure to sit down and laugh with Paul, Michelle and Rain.
Time to review the actual service and food. Service was outstanding. I couldn’t keep track of how many times staff swung by to check on us. I ordered the salmon omelet, which I quite enjoyed even if it was one of the more pricier items on the menu. I decided to try the vegetable fritters. Since I’m not much of a vegetarian, I ate it more for the health benefits than the flavor.
Thanks to Robert for making this a regular event. It is a wonderful, casual way to meet new friends and catch up with old friends. I haven’t yet met a single person at an event through Unilocal who wasn’t genuinely nice and friendly. To those of you who still don’t GET Unilocal and why a Unilocal community exists, I hope you can give us a chance some day. Most of us don’t bite.
Suggestion for future breakfast spot: BIg Ed’s Alley Inn.

Why did the chick cross the road? To join her chick in the Sticks (shopping center) and open an egg-​cellent brunch café!
Why did 30 Unilocalers cross the road? To get out of the drizzle and chill, and grab some sizzle and thrill at the new joint in town with friends old and new all around.
Kudos to Robert S. and the owners of Two Chicks and their crew for making this a fun and wonderful breakfast gathering! The servers were warm and friendly, and if they were stressed in any way, there was no sign of sweat on their brow, just genuine smiles on their beautiful faces as they took and brought our orders, checked on us throughout our time together, and kept our mugs filled with their exclusively roasted coffee. I hope the staff is proud of themselves for the job they did, especially on their busiest day of the week, cause there were no feathers ruffled here, just peeps having a terrific morning!
I had the apple-​cinnamon french toast combo, with eggs over medium and their sausage patty. I took my daughter’s sweet potato hash from her kid’s meal and shared my toast with her. My food came out perfectly cooked, with just the right temp, and all of it was scrumptious. I was actually impressed with the sausage patty, locally sourced, and so flavorful, I nibbled it so I could savor it for as long as possible. Looking forward to coming back and getting that patty again!
It was fantastic to see familiar faces, welcome some of the new Elites, and introduce myself to the handful of newcomers to the community. It is so fun to laugh with friends, share stories, enjoy good food and even better company. The Breakfast Club is a great way to start your day!

I have to say that my coffee was never half empty and my fellow Unilocalers where VERY welcoming…
Thanks Robert S for putting this on for us.
This was my first Unilocal event and I have to say, «I will be back for many more» Very friendly crowd.
On to the meat and the sweet potatoes:
I ordered the Red Chick Scramble– Eggs scrambled with ham, mushrooms,
spinach and cream cheese for 9.49. The dish was way more then I could eat all at one sitting. So I had to bring some home. The sweet potatoes through me off with the first bite but that didn’t stop me…
Very VERY delicious breakfast dish. I will be coming back to try a few of their sandwiches.
Two Chicks is also a lot bigger then it seems form the outside, and has a number of yummy drinks form the looks of it. By the time I left at 10:30−1045 there was a line waiting to get in that was out the door.
I will be back to try more of their menu.

Rise and shine little farm animals
Two Chicks were totally ready for our ever growing group of breakfast goers. Robert had set up the UYE as he does each month. And it went way smoother than I think he thought it would. Chicks gave our party of almost 30, a large area. They allowed us to stagger our orders AND gave us separate checks. The staff did a great job at keeping the coffee cups full. All the meals for us came hot
Great job Robert — it went very well. And I got a chance to meet some more new Unilocalers

What a great experience. 2 Chicks handled our large crowd with ease. Good food good conversations. A+

Quack Quack
Yet again another great Breakfast Club! Always good seeing friends old and new. Robert S does a great job organizing and informing… Thanks Robert
Our waitress Laura was great!!!

20+ People in a small restaurant on a busy Saturday Morning? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Luckily disaster was averted by the planning of Robert S (Our Unofficial Unilocal Community Manager) and the great service provided by the staff at Two Chicks.
The food was great, the company stimulating and the atmosphere inviting. A perfect combination for a rainy, grey Saturday Morning.
For comparison sake I had the traditional Eggs Benedict and it stood up to the high standard I had set after eating at the other UYE breakfast events.
I am very much looking forward to coming back for one of the signature gourmet sandwiches of maybe breakfast again with a carb loading plate of French Roast.

This was my first Unilocal!Event and I’m so happy the boy and I went. Robert did a great job organizing this and I’m totally looking forward to doing this every month! We met so many cool people and sat with Sabrina B and her lovely wifey. Had some awesome conversations and the service was great, especially considering there were about 30 people here for it. We constantly had waitresses checking on us and filling glasses.
Now, on to the food. There were definitely some ups and down but overall, I think we’d come here again. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with sweet potatoes (lots of reviews said they were awesome) and the boy ordered the biscuits and gravy with bacon and 2 sunny side up eggs. I enjoyed my Eggs Benedict, the sauce was yummy and eggs were perfect. The potatoes however, first of all weren’t sweet potatoes, and they were mushy. I might as well have asked for mashed potatoes. There was absolutely no crunch, though they did have a nice taste. I had another problem though: HUGE chunks of jalapeño. No biggie as I can handle a little heat but smaller pieces would have been appreciated. I thought the meal was the perfect size as I wasn’t hungry or completely stuffed after finishing.
As I said, the boy had biscuits and gravy with bacon and 2 sunny side up eggs. He actually really liked the B&G, as did I. He also enjoyed the bacon (no brainer) but those eggs were super questionable. Parts of them looked raw (the entire table agreed) so he didn’t even touch them.
The space is so much bigger than it looks and I love the bright pops of color. For a Saturday morning, it was pretty packed. They have a great location so I’m sure they will continue to have pretty steady business. I also like the option of allowing you to get farm fresh eggs, although it does cost an extra 1.99. Personally, I’d rather you just use them for all the meals and not charge me extra. Lots of places already use organic products (Great Full Gardens, DeLuxe) and the prices are actually cheaper. As I said, I like the feel and I think we’ll be back again to try something else out!

Monthly Breakfast Club UYE @ Two Chicks was not only fun, it was well organized.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by the host and guided to our seating area. She was friendly and helpful, as was the rest of the staff crew.
Service was impressive, especially considering the onslaught of Unilocalers arriving almost simultaneously.
The menu was varied, creating an agonizing challenge of deciding between items such as the salmon and cream cheese omelet or the apple cinnamon French toast. Oh the humanity!
Meeting up with the Unilocal bunch was a pleasure. I look forward to many more UYE Breakfast Club events!

My heart belongs to the owners of the joint for all the delicious grilled cheese sandwiches i’ve consumed from their truck over the years.
When an UYE popped up here I couldn’t turn the down the chance.
We arrived to a section separated just for our UYE. My wife and I dined with Reno newcomer Sean and her b/​f and enjoyed great conversation in addition to our meals. My wife and I ordered before their arrival but the worked hard to deliver our meals close together. Our water glasses never ran empty and my coffee cup was only a few sips down before I was offered to have it topped off.
I opted for the classic Benedict and the wifey opted for the apple cinnamon french toast. The sides offered for my Benedict were sweet potatoes or a veggie fritter. Intrigued I opted for the fritter. when it arrived I could tell it was some sort of egg base as a binder but not too sure of the components. There was obvious shredded carrot and then a large green mixture with it. Ultimately I only had a few bites as it taste like a smashed cooked carrot with a broccoli aftertaste. I’m not a fan of cooked carrots so a large flattened carrot disc no matter how delightfully presented will not delight me enough for a second bite. The benedict was exactly as expected. Classic with a perfectly poached egg.
The wife’s french toast was not what she had in mind. She’s a fan of the thick texas toast or brioche french toast and unfortunately the apple cinnamon bread is quite thin. She enjoyed the sausage and eggs also but said that though delicious, she would choose a more robust slice of bread as the base. The thin bread made the french toast feel a bit heavy and dense.
For breakfast I don’t know if it would be my first choice but knowing their entire truck menu is available I will head back for a top notch grilled cheese option.

My first Breakfast club!
I am so glad that I decided to go. It was a bit of a drive for me and it was raining so I was kind of hesitant since I’m still fairly new to the area. But hey, I clicked «I’m in!» and didn’t wanna be a flake…
I had another chance to share a table with Paul S. and Mickey S. and we were eventually joined by Allie A. So glad to meet other Unilocalers :)
I couldn’t decide what to order. They serve breakfast til 2pm and they have their food truck menu on one page and a lunch menu on another. So much to choose from!
What caught my eyes were the garlic parmesan fries. I just gotta try it! So I’ve narrowed it down to the grilled cheese/​sandwich menu and ended up ordering the «Mother Clucker». Grilled cheese with grilled chicken, artichokes, and onions… simply delish! And the fries? definitely did not disappoint!
The kimchee bloody mary piqued my interest but I’m not really a bloody mary person so I just opted for the grapefruit mimosa. Possibly a new record for my earliest drink haha
Fun event and I’m definitely looking forward to the next one :)
Thanks for organizing Robert S!!!

What a fun breakfast event! Robert did a great job putting this together and the staff at 2 Chicks did a great job keeping up with our large group. I loved meeting so many great people. From the moment I entered the building, the staff was friendly, cheerful and helpful. I ordered the Ultimelt cheese omelette, an omelette that was a garlicy, gooey, yummy, delicious creamy burst of yummy cheesiness. (Parmesan, cheddar, Fontina AND cream cheese).
The sweet potato home fries they offer instead of regular potatoes may not appeal to everyone, they are a sweeter option, but I personally loved them and loved the different and unique taste.
I ordered a breakfast cocktail, (the morning glory) because why not, it was my birthday week and I was still celebrating. my drink was a cross between coffee and a cocktail, with coffee, Kahlua, coconut milk flavors over ice and of course some vodka to properly celebrate the morning. Even my sourdough toast was super delicious.
Laura was great as a server, always smiling and offering suggestions when asked. She checked on us often, asked questions and was just a super sweetheart even while working with a very large group.
Bonus: restrooms are clean and cute, cutest little changing table with a basket full of diapers available (in case of an emergency, I presume) very thoughtful gesture for parents. Great job, great event, great venue.
Can’t wait start taking my clients to lunch or breakfast there and a I’m not afraid to take a large crowd either.

Love, love, love the monthly Unilocal Breakfast Club!
This morning I ordered decaf coffee, cranberry juice, the grain-​free sweet potato pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs. Let me start by saying the coffee here is delicious! They use a special roast that was developed just for them. It was robust without being over powering or bitter. When I ordered the sweet potato pancakes the waitress did tell me that they would be a different texture then normal pancakes as she didn’t want me unexpectedly surprised when my food arrived. They were a little different texture but they were SUPER YUMMY! I would definitely order them again. And I have to say, I know that scrambled eggs are, well, they are just scrambled eggs but my eggs were done perfectly. They were not dry or over cooked. They were light, fluffy and very good.
The service was awesome, the atmosphere was cheerful and I will definitely be returning to try other things on the menu.
Thanks for putting the event together Robert! You are much appreciated! Looking forward to next month.

September 27, 2014 Saturday — 9:30 AM breakfast
2 adults & a bunch of other Unilocalers
Atmosphere — 5 stars
Food — 5 stars
Service — 5 stars
Background — The first time we can actually review an UYE Breakfast Club get together. Thanks Robert S. for setting up another great breakfast event.
Atmosphere — Out in the Sticks, wait it is in the Sticks but in the heart of Midtown. That was confusing. To clarify my confusion that the Sticks in the restaurant plaza that the Two Chicks is located in, not really way out of town in the middle of nowhere. This is a newly constructed location and the place still has character and does not feel like it was just opened.
Food
Drink — Yeah I had beer for breakfast. Outlaw Milk Stout from our very own local Great Basin Brewery.
My Meal — I ordered the French Toast Combo. Which has four halves of their apple cinnamon French toast that is a dense battered bread. I did not even use the syrup they gave me. I had two eggs done over easy and they were nice and runny the way they should be. I then picked the sausage over the bacon. The sausage comes from one of Mark Estee’s businesses. It was small but flavorful and went well with the French toast.
Service — We, as in the 30 plus Unilocalers, descended on this small business waiting for the chaos that we would create. But Robert S. made sure the property was ready for our visit which greatly helped. The staff came at us as a team and worked the tables with great patients as we are a bunch of yappers, oh I mean Unilocalers. Flawless service is the best way I could put it.
Future — Duh!
