Southern comfort food, cheap and delicious: Mac n cheese, fried chicken, pies and sweet tea. Great for kids too. Pro tip: go during the week, there can be long lines as this is a popular spot on the week end.

One of the neighborhood's most famous brunch spot, they serve simple but awesome egg dishes with ingredients that come from their own farm upstate. We recommend to get there before 12 / 12:30 to avoid the long lines.
