Long time lurker - first time poster. Couldn't resist this thread since I've been brunch obsessed this year - and love eggs benedict. Here's a quick review of some places in Northern Virginia, with my unscientific ratings (1-5) Blue Iguana, Fair Lakes - 2 It wasn't the worst, it wasn't the best. The EB were passable, the omelets and carving station weren't the greatest and the price was okay (around 13/person) Backyard Grill, Chantilly - 0.75 Wow! I've never had EB that were hard boiled! 13 or so/person - never again... Brions Grill, Fairfax - 2.5 Well, no EB, but a passable omelet station. 10/person Madigans Grill, Woodbridge - 0.5 EB were bad. Can I say bad again? Bad! The waffles - one bite and I set them aside. Just say NO! Around 13/person Carlyle - 5 Good EB - not a buffet and it made me realize I really don't like buffets! I would definitely return. Palm Court, Westfields Marriott - 4.5 Good, expensive brunch. Too much good quality food and had good EB. Around 50/person. 2941, Falls Church - 4 Nice brunch with good EB. I think the EB were the best thing about the brunch, although I know I'm obsessed! Good muffins and breads. I tasted the 2941 omelet (spinach, mushrooms and swiss) was it was okay. Nice touches at the end - home made marshmallows and home spun cotton candy. 39/person Market Street Grill, Reston Town Center - 3.5 No EB, but a nice brunch buffet. Hot items, then you order an entree and then dessert buffet. I'd go again. 21.95/person Overall, I think I'm over the buffet thing. Too much food and most of the time it is mediocre. Next on my list are some of the egullet suggestions, Boulevard Wood Grill, Harry's Tap Room, Whitlow's and Luna Grill. Thanks to everyone for raising my standards and pointing me to better food!
