FOOD: Our Favorite Breakfast Spots
*WD = Walking Distance
*SD = Short Drive
Leon’s is one of the Mt Airy downtown staples. Patterned after a mid-century diner, it feels like walking into the past. The Biscuits and Gravy are spot on, but you can’t go wrong with any of the breakfast combinations. Also have a good lunch. Try the California Burger! *WD*
