5 /5 Bkind R3wind: I was out for a job in Westport and was looking for a place to grab some breakfast. This place came up on my search and absolutely blew me away.
I believe that Biscuits and Gravy are the perfect test for any place that serves breakfast, and The Slippery Deck graduates top of the class, 110 percent on the test.
The biscuits were light, flaky, and that beautifully imperfect shape that makes them a perfect vessel for the gravy, which was rich, unctuous, and seasoned perfectly. I got excited and started eating before thinking to take a photo.
I ordered a side of the house potatoes as a harder sort of test. I usually don’t like house potatoes, but they surprised me here. Light, crispy, not too oily, not overly salted. Excellent.
My server, Kendall, was an absolute ray of sunshine. Upbeat and energetic, she kept the coffee hot, fresh and strong (good coffee, too!) and made good conversation in the moments between.
On a day with an honestly tough start, I walked out of The Slippery Deck with a full belly, a caffeinated brain, a box of delicious leftovers, and a quiet smile.
If you’re in the area, you gotta stop here, folks.
