Great Food. Questionable owner commitment. I only hope that Wild Wheat managment reads these reviews, as I feel they could be helpfiul keeping this place around. I am a first time customer and possibly a one timer. I had the spinach & feta quiche with potatoes and toast. Potatoes and coffee were great! Quiche was made with cheddar not feta. (feta is not yellow and does not become stringy when hot). Server Mary was nice but brought me catsup and tabasco bottles that had their lables worn almost off and looked like they were dirty from the rubish bin. I wouldn't touch them.…
Pretty good food but overpriced. We went there on Mother's Day. We had a great waitress. The food was good, but I think it is pricey, and you can definitely find better deals. The eggs benedict I had was on toast that was so hard I had a very hard time sawing it with my fork. The potatatos are good, but I guess I wouldn't give it the reviews which brought me to the restaurant in the first place.…
Yummy. What a wonderful breakfast. I had the pleasure of eating at Wild Wheat on a busy Saturday morning with three tweenagers. The Eggs Benedict was the best I ever had, and sadly that includes my own. Which up until this point was my favorite. Even the kids ages 11-14 all admired the wonderful flavors they experienced. I would eat here every Saturday morning if I could afford it, but this was worth the experience. The owner Mark was very gracious, we was hosting as we walked in, and even came over towards the end of our meal to check on us. We enjoyed Wild Wheat, and I will be back with my Fiance next time.…
Food Okay, Prices High.
Wild Wheat is a Kent favorite, and is almost always packed. The women in my family as well as friends go there regularly as a weekend get-together. But lately the quality is hit or miss.
The last time I was there the holandaise sauce was thin, runny, with almost no lemon. It should be rich, creamy, thick, with a hint of lemon. There was no seasoning on the home fries. Usually I love the fruit on the plate but it was warm and covered in hollandaise which made it unappetizing.
My friend had french toast and there were little eggshell peices in it. She would have sent it back but she lost her appetite over it.
In the visit before that my mom had the blintzes and she loved them. She said the pancakes were very thin, and the stuffing was perfectly sweet. My sister had an omlet that she said was really good - fluffy and well stuffed with veggies and cheese. My eggs florentine were still so-so, with runny hollandaise on thin bread that was so dry around the edges I couldn't cut it with a knife. That dry bread thing mystified me because the bread wasn't toasted.
I took home a cinnamon roll and it was very dry. My friend got a loaf of bread which was also dry. Save your money on the baked goods and give them a miss.
The service was pretty good, which surprised me seeing each waitperson had so many tables to serve and the place was so packed. They really hustled. Though I still had to wait a bit long to pay my bill. I finally walked up front to the cashier and paid it.
Wild Wheat is still worth a visit, because overall it has yummy food, but it doesn't meet the standard of excellence I was hoping for and had come to expect. At the prices they charge (about $20-$25 total per person for breakfast), I expect the food to be great every time.…
Fresh breads not fresh!. Gone way down hill recently, this owner does not care about his customers, employees or quality control. All the bread is baked the night before and sits on the shelf all night long til morning, so that would be day old prices doesn't seem fresh now does it? The Pain au levain used to taste like sourdough now it's just BLAH, did we lose the sourdough starter? Also rosemary garlic bread shouldn't have chunks of garlic rolled on the outside of the loaf. Have bought many loaves from PCC Markets in the seattle area and quality control is non existant. Also employees don't look like they like working there and it shows, should they be texting or preparing meals for the customers. And is the restaurant food FRESH and what about the bread basket tastiers, are they the returns from the stores? Stay away from the nasty quiche and the cookies that are left out all day near grimy hands and peoples mouths. Better off going down the street to Panera and picking up fresh bread, bagels made right and fresh soup. Time to sell Mark!…
