Breakfast Served from 8AM to Noon Weekends Only
The breakfast menu reads urban: three kinds of bacon, cheesy grits, fair scones standing in for biscuits, and house-made sausage, all executed by chef Brian Johnston. The cinnamon It comes with a scattering of fruit, candied pecans and whipped butter. The chicken fried steak consists of an extra flaky coating jacketed a thinly pounded top sirloin steak topped with mushroom gravy and flanked by sharply cheesy grits and eggs any way you want.
Eggs Benedict comes with a flood of buttery Hollandaise over perfectly poached eggs, chunky ham and crispy muffins. The accompanying tangle of country potatoes could stand alone as breakfast fodder. It comes with crab or spinach, too.
The cinnamon waffle is the same as is served in the restaurant’s signature chicken and waffles. Candied pecans and whipped butter atop the waffle will appeal to kids or adults.
And speaking of kids, local graphic artist Dennis Bland has designed what has to be the coolest kid’s menu, with a page of Puyallup-focused Mad Libs that was pure fun at the breakfast table. With well-trained servers who dote on kids, Crockett’s is a destination for family breakfast dining.
