Hands down best breakfast around -- although you have to go over the bridge to get it. Lines start forming a little after 8:30 a.m. so best for the early risers. Great breakfast specials and farm fresh eggs, coffee, and delicious grits (yes, delicious!)

Its a drive, but if you are exploring, do check it out. Very local food and different prices -- so good for families and others. No reservations at least for small groups so best to plan to wait or arrive right at or before 5 p.m.
