Garrison

Worth it!. My husband and I had heard great things about the Sunday Brunch at the Garrison at Fort Benjamin Harrison from one of his co-worker, but we had no idea what to expect when we walked in. We were blown away.

The price was $17.99 each, which, yes, is high, but for the smorgasbord that was laid in front of us, it was totally worth it. As I describe my experience, I don't want to sound like a pig, so I assure you that I did not finish everything I tried. It's not like this is a place you would go every Sunday.

The staff was incredibly friendly, talkative and informative, and getting our table was a breeze. We were given the proper run down of the different stations and after ordering coffee, were sent off to fill up our plates.

We both started at the omelet and waffle station. We picked our ingredients and they were made fresh in front of us. I can't tell you that this omelet blew my mind, but it was certainly delicious. I had to forgo a waffle that morning even though they are one of my favorite breakfast foods, simply because I didn't have room for something so bready.

After my omelet was handed to me, I headed to the meat carving station and got a giant slice of ham that practically melted in my mouth. I love judging biscuits and gravy, so I wanted to give that a try too. It's just impossible to try everything that you want to. The eggs benedict was looking awfully tasty and I skipped potatoes and eggs that I could make at home. It was great.

Ding! Round two. After eating about half of what I got earlier, I wanted to scope out what they were serving for lunch. I didn't want much else, but I thought I would try their mac and cheese and their mashed potatoes and gravy. The mac was great, and the gravy was smelling particularly strong for having just eaten a lot of breakfast. On the same plate I loaded up on fresh cut strawberries, drowed in whipped cream. And they were awesome.

Finally, there is this amazing table filled with desserts. There must have been 20 different kinds, plus a warm cobbler at the end of the buffet. I wanted to try so many of them, but could only handle something simple, so I went with plain cheesecake and more strawberries.

All in all, it was super fun, and I wish I could have tried more, but I was trying to do the math in my head of what my meal might have cost if I'd have ordered it all from a restaurant and I had no problem justifying the price. The staff kept the food coming out so there was no awkward waits or show downs between guests.

Afterwards, taking a walk on one of the trails in the park was the perfect end to a HUGE brunch.

I haven’t eaten at the Sunday buffet in several years. Online and on site flyers mention the omelette station which no longer is available. This was a disappointment. Most food items were fine, although the biscuits were tough. Overall it seems the amount of choices has been reduced. I also missed the Christmas decorations. Also, no gluten free dessert options were offered.

It was wonderful! One of the best upscale brunch buffets in town. Beautiful view and nice atmosphere. Also, it's all inclusive.

The Garrison hosted my parents 60th wedding anniversary party. The ball room was beautiful. The food was very good. And, the staff was wonderful! I highly recommend this venue for any event.

My companies annual Christmas party was held at this location. Very nice and clean. The staff was friendly and professional. The food was amazing as well.

I visited the Garrison on one of their busiest days (Mother's Day). The servers are great for the number of people they have to serve. I have not been disappointed even during Co-vid days. I suggest you try it. They have Fish on Fridays unless it has changed.
