Crazy long lines on the weekend (be prepared to wait for up to an hour!) but the portions are massive and the coffee keeps flowing. We recommend the "Breakfast Bomb".

Honestly, we are not fans. They charge $2 for chips and salsa and sprinkle everything with chipotle. But, their shrimp & grits are divine.

Reliable home-cooked Mexican food known for their mole sauces. This is a proper meal, not a bar so don't think it's chips, margaritas and get out of there. No, mama expects you to sit down and eat.

Essentials

This may be the biggest assortment of craft beers in the city that you can buy by the bottle. We also appreciate their huge 'jerky' and snack selection. Not cheap though.
