Absolute favorite of ours for breakfast - get a proper home-cooked skillet, pancakes, grits and more! Top notch breakfast spot, very cool rustic ambiance and decorations. The food is delicious and affordable, and even when the lines are long you wont wait more than 15-20 minute. The French Toast is to die for!
