On the whole, the Turning Point is a probably a good place for the average person to have breakfast. One big plus is that they make a pretty mean chocolate shake, which might not seem like something you’d actually want as a breakfast item, but that’s only if you’ve never had one for breakfast.
The Wilbur skillet was good and filling, but not exceptional or exceptionally different from something you can get in any other diner or can make at home, and I’m not a big fan of eating something for breakfast that I can easily make at home with ingredients that I usually have on hand. If anyone knows where you can get an old school huevos ranchero for breakfast in the Trenton area, please let me know. In a tortilla bowl (my tortilla was a little stale around the edges), it had a nice filling, and was much healthier than a normal ranchero, but when I order a huevos ranchero, I want it to my mother’s huevos ranchero. The huevos ranchero is filling, but it’s not your madre’s huevos ranchero.
I don’t know if that’s their standard waffle, but if it is, no thank you. I had to ask for syrup to give it some flavor. Chicken tenders? Really? The waffle itself was baked (weird?), blah and nothing special. I had a chicken and waffle special the other day, and the chicken was fried chicken tenders with a small ladle of chorizo gravy on top.
My wife is nuts for the lobster benedict (which is why we’ve been there more than a couple of times). If I’m having fruit with my pancake, I like it in the pancake, not on top of it. I see lots of people getting those waffles, french toasts or pancakes covered with piled on fruits and nuts with drizzle of sauce, and they chow like pretty happy campers, but I’ve never been in to that. They’ve a few omelets, you can get some a la cart fried eggs and grits or a few skillet egg dishes and you’ve got a kind of odd take on a huevos ranchero, but the place doesn’t really delve much deeper into the breakfast genre. The bulk of their breakfast menu is made up of variations on these breakfast standards. Here’s the thing with the Turning Point: If you’re into eggs benedict, pancakes, waffles and french toast, then you’ll likely be contented.
