Just moved to Concord and tried the diner everyone raves about

Everyone told me to go to The Puritan Backroom for brunch, so I dragged my wife there last Saturday. We waited 45 minutes for a table, then my eggs benedict came out with cold hollandaise and the english muffin was soggy. I actually sent it back, which felt awkward, but the server was cool about it and brought a fresh plate that was decent. Has anyone else felt that place is a bit overhyped or did I just hit a bad day?

That soggy english muffin bit hits home for me. I think Puritan's just coasting on reputation these days, too many people hyping it up from like ten years ago.

Soggy english muffin? Come on @evan295, that's on whoever ordered takeout and let it sit for 20 minutes. Puritan's still got it. The breakfast sandwich game is legit. Their bacon is always crispy, eggs are actually cooked fresh. I've been going for years and it's consistently good. Maybe you just got a bad order or something. Place is popular for a reason.
