The Southern Omelet here is fluffy perfection, stuffed with sausage, onions, peppers, and plenty of American cheese, while the cheesy grits deliver an impressive cheese pull with a nicely browned top. Everything on the menu is scratch-made and prepared to order, from waffles and Benedicts to burgers and sandwiches…
Very local, and known for the she-crab soup for good reason. The neighborhood regulars are the endorsement.
My favorite shrimp and grits in Charlotte, backed by great service and staff. Weekend brunch the way it should feel.
The French onion soup is highly regarded for a reason. A neighborhood classic that keeps earning it.
Chain, sure, but it's a great breakfast. My favorite breakfast burrito in town and awesome eggs Benedicts. Multiple locations, zero notes.
Great brunch offerings right in South End. Easy choice before a day of wandering the neighborhood.
