Irma’s Place opened in Oct. 2023. The owners are two sisters, Stacy and Sasha Rondeau who named the place after their grandmother Irma. They serve breakfast and lunch Tues through Sunday. The day we were there, several groups were eating together at the medium-sized place. Exposed duct work, wood walls, high ceilings, and a combination of booths and tables made up the building that was decorated with memorabilia on a high shelf and art for sale on the main walls. It’s right on the highway so a perfect stop on our way to our house up north. It’s simple food but I’ll be back to try some of the breakfast options and maybe more of their freshly made baked goods. The friendly server was also efficient and explained the darkened parts of the menu were the most popular.
Set-Up
Food
The housemade cinnamon rolls had just come out of the oven so I had to oblige our server who said she made them. It was a good move. The hot roll had tons of cinnamon and was topped with sweet icing on a bit of melted butter. The dough was cooked through but not dry and the flavor was yummy, as was the texture.
The avocado chicken sandwich was made with grilled chicken, bacon, tomato and avocado on toasted sourdough bread. The sandwich comes with chips. The chicken was juicy but the soft avocado had been spread on both sides of the bread so the piece of chicken wanted to slide out of the bread. The bread was good, the avocado fairly tasteless and the bacon nice. It was okay but difficult to eat as a whole. The chips were a thin variety and crisp.
Quesadillas were a highlighted option and made with tortillas filled with melted cheddar, grilled chicken, and green onions, served with a housemade seasoned sour cream and a side of pico de gallo. The large tortilla had been browned on the griddle which really brought out the flavor. It was nicely stuffed but the pico needed a bit more heat for me. The seasoning in the sour cream seemed to be mostly onion and that mixed well with the quesadilla. This one I would order again.
If you return for breakfast I hope you’ll consider the Hash Brown Mess – it sounds really good!
Indeed I will. The hash brown plates are on my radar but they haven’t been open the last couple of times we passed that way. Hoping for better luck closer to summer but also have another place we drove by and want to try. So many fun small one-of-a-kind gems!
