E got a turkey burger. Dude, so tasty. This was a well made turkey burger blended with celery, onions, shallots, garlic, scallions, and peppers. And man, do all those ingredients make for a delicious little burger. I wish I had ordered this.
I think this was the colorado chicken salad. Grilled chicken, grilled corn, lettuce, tomato, blue cheese, and asparagus. What a great salad, other than the evil blue cheese. J commented that the one thing that would have made the salad perfect was if they’d grilled the asparagus. And we all wholeheartedly agreed. If you’re going to have grilled chicken and corn, why not go all the way and grill the asparagus too. I mean it tasted fine, but it was just plain cold asparagus. It would have been that much better if they were grilled.

I actually ordered one of the specials of the day, which was a bbq chicken sandwich. It was a whole grilled chicken breast with cheese, bacon, and bbq sauce on top. It was good! The bbq sauce was really great, I should have asked them what kind it was. I asked for sweet potato fries cuz you know I love them. One thing E and I couldn’t figure out was what this mysterious white sauce was that got served with the sweet potato fries. It wasn’t mayonnaise, it wasn’t sour cream, it wasn’t horseradish, we just couldn’t figure it out. It ended up being wasted on both of us.

Our waitress was spacey. Like seriously spacey. Her eyes were out of control, and she kept saying everything was awesome. But then later on she said she’d been working since 5AM, so maybe she had a right to be a bit spacey. I liked this place. If I end up in Manayunk again, I could certainly eat here.

Do you want to know how long it’s been since I’ve been to More Than Just Ice Cream? I was trying to remember, and it’s been so long, I didn’t remember. It had to have been in the 90′s. Seriously, it was that long ago. What I do remember is that I went for brunch and that it was good. A whole slew of us went one morning on a lovely day. With every brunch entree, you get a complimentary mimosa. How can you not love that? There’s tons to choose from and you get plenty of food. The french toast, topped with apples and served with a side of canadian bacon. This was an impressive dish. The chicken salad sandwich, with heaping mounds of chicken salad, a side of greens, some cantaloupe, and a pickle. J enjoyed this sandwich quite a bit. I was a bit jealous of it. The last time I was here I had gotten the eggs benedict. I wasn’t going to mess with this. Once again, it was quite delicious. Canadian bacon on english muffins, topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. It was served with a healthy helping of home fries. It’s good to know that dish was still good here. For those that had room, some ice cream was also had. I was stuffed, so I had to pass.

A giant paper mache pink armadillo hangs from the ceiling. It’s creepy, yet slightly adorable.
The place was absolutely packed (I stupidly showed up at around 12:30 on a Saturday), and there was a huge wait. Luckily, I didn’t have to wait too long for a spot at the counter, as I pretty much stalked someone and as soon as his ass left the seat, I went right for it. A bowl of these curious things were on the counter – freezerves. Freezer jam, never heard of it. Then I looked it up and it’s jam that’s stored in the freezer, and it’s better because the fruit isn’t cooked as much. There were different varieties, and I tried the marionberry, and raspberry, and strawberry ones. They were ok tasting, but they all have a crazy near neon technicolor look that just seems unnatural. Tastes fine, but looks a little fake.
Their menu has tons of choices, including your standard brunch fare, tex-mex favorites, and good old texas bbq. I wasn’t really in the mood for a plate full of flesh, so I just went with the 5 spot breakfast of two eggs, your choice of meat, toast, and a giant heap of hash browns. It’s about the most hash browns I’ve ever laid eyes on. I asked for my eggs over hard, and they were great. They must have used a little form as they came out in a perfect circle. Everything else was pretty good, but the hash browns were just too much. Most of it was also soft and mushy, and I really like the crunchy bits the best.
Service was great. The server/bartender was manning the entire counter by himself, and it’s a pretty huge counter. And he was making all of the drinks for the entire place, and was doing a great job.Get here early or get here late, and stuff your face.
