"My only complaint was that we were not all served our meal at the same time. There were three of us in our party. We ordered three meals and an appetizer. Two of us got our meals fairly quickly. The other waited at least 45 minutes for hers, the other two had already finished eating. Furthermore, our appetizer came AFTER all three meals.
The show was fun though. And the food was good."

"While we had a super good time,I mean how can you go wrong with such talented Divas??, I had many complaints on the food. Of course it was a tad over-priced, due to the show, but many also stated their food was inedible. That was my experience as well. At $14 a plate, the eggs should have been real and the hash browns not a reproduction of Mickey D's...This same meal was delicious the first time I went. Shame on Croc's for cutting corners. Next time I will order lunch, mimosa or no mimosa...
Also, if you are with a large group, expect seating to be a super tight squeeze, hence a less that ideal view of the show."

"I am not sure what to say beyond outdated and a strong will to hold on. It was a grest let dow. We were seated at 11 and soon after ordered our food and drinks. I ordered a mango drink that was simply Horrible! It is now 1pm and we are now eating our food. My food was not the best (shrimp and grists) but my wife's food was tasty but not so that I would return! It was just not good enough that I would return or suggest it to anyone."

"My group went to Croc's for the Drag me to brunch. It was an amazing time. The main suggestion I would have is better seating arrangements. It's a little tight in there with everyone and the amazing queens! They were amazingly accommodating when half my party didn't show up! Great customer service!!!"

"Went here before the Shamrock 1/2 and it was terrible. Spinach cakes that were really felafel box mix on a base of flavorless hummus. French fries out of a bag that I can make better at home. A chicken pita that tasted like nothing. I don't know what was fresh and local about this place at all. It took over an hour to get our entrees and was seriously the third worst meal my husband and I have ever eaten. This place needs a serious overhaul."

"Seafood was very good, garlic shrimp grilled skewers were the best. Very large side salads. Chocolate lava cake with homemade ice cream was the best, just need to tell people it will take 20 mins to prepare. Nice place to hang out and enjoy the food and company. Love that it is local, organic and fresh foods."

"Upon making the reservation I thought we would be at a table but we were seated at the bar maybe because we were a party of 2. I ordered the hangover tacos. I wasn't a fan of it although the hash browns were amazing. It took a while to get the bartenders attention but he was really friendly. The show was fantastic. All in all I really would recommend the brunch only if you have a big group so that you have a better seat the performers never really cane to where we were unless the were exiting the area."

"I went to a Drag Yourself to Brunch event. I have to say that I was very disappointed with the plate I ordered and my friend was disappointed with her meal as well. I ordered french toast with cheese eggs and hash browns and my friend ordered french toast with eggs, bacon, and cheese grits. To our surprise the french toast was deep fried and way too greasy to eat. Her grits had a really weird flavor. They forgot to put cheese in my eggs and the hash browns were very greasy as well. I ordered a bloody mary and passion fruit mimosa. The drinks are really over-priced and the food is a bit high as well. The entertainment was good but after 2 hours, we ended up leaving before the performance was over."

"We liked that it wasn't crowded or noisy. Food was very good. I appreciate their "Sustainable, Organic, Local" leanings. Price for dinner looked about right. Like many restaurants, there is a hefty premium on the wine, but an inexpensive bottle worked just fine."
