we were looking for an out of the way brunch spot today, and were hoping to find a dogfriendlyspot, when i remembered hearing something about a place in thunderbolt that had been voted 'best undiscovered restaurant' or something like that. we hopped in the car with the dog, and were unbelievably lucky to have found tortugas grille. it is a cute place with outside, petfriendlyseating and plenty of parking out back. we both ordered from the brunch menu. we each ended up ordering the 'big breakfast' because it came with portions of most of what was on the menu. i had scrambled eggs, with cheese added, a piece of their french toast which came with their amazing praline syrup, a patty of the housemade apple sausage, perfectly golden housefries, and a beyond perfect fluffy biscuit. the service was super friendly, and our great server brought a bowl of water for our dog right as we sat down. the food took a little while to get, but worth the wait. we can't wait to return.
