Dome Grill Inc

Disclaimer: the review of Dome Grill Inc was carried out under conditions of great duress. It was Sunday morning at about 3pm, and St. EATersburg had not yet had breakfast. Wild eyed and frantic, we stormed down Central Avenue in search of anyplace still serving eggs. Objectivity notwithstanding, Dome really hit the spot. After placing our order at the counter, we sat outside on the patio to wait for our food and gnaw on sugar packets ($0).

Jessie, in her Vision Quest to eat every breakfast sandwich known to man, ordered eggs, turkey and American cheese on a plain bagel with home fries ($6). The sandwich was just what you'd expect: the bagel was soft and and buttery, if a bit on the small side, topped with soft scrambled eggs and gooey cheese. It was a fairly average breakfast sandwich, but nothin' wrong with that. The potatoes were nice and crispy. Although they tasted a bit like day-old frying oil, this was nothing some ketchup couldn't mask.















Jonathan, on his own personal journey, ordered the bacon cheeseburger.

Counter girl: Hi, sir, what can I get for you today?
Jonathan: BACON CHEESEBURGER
Counter girl: Please stop yelling, sir.
Jonathan: CHEEBURGERCHEEBURGER NOW
Counter girl: You really are sweating profusely.

The burger was pretty awesome, if a bit pricey for a diner ($10). Overly big, juicy and piled high with tons of melted cheddar and perfectly crisp bacon. The fries were great: nicely browned and well-salted.















The grease congealed in our stomachs and made us happily sleepy. Now that we'd had breakfast, we were ready for bed. Dome Grill is a very solid greasy spoon, and as the only diner we've ever seen with al fresco seating, we give it a thumbs up.
