“ My family and I had a very good experience here. My parents ordered two different kinds of Eggs Benedict (crab cakes and smoked salmon) and enjoyed them. I loved the French toast in particular. The Bloody Marys were tasty and I loved the variety of options (dill pickle, garlic lovers, spicy, etc.) It was very busy and I recommend getting there as early as possible. The only thing I disliked was that the music was so loud, which is really not the vibe I'm looking for at 8am. I would return. ”
“ My friend and I went in for breakfast and the place was hopping! We sat the counter across from the cook/owner and it was amazing the watch him, and his wife cook everything fresh and to order. Their daughters who run the front end were very nice and friendly and had a handle on the orders kept coming in and going out. The food was amazing I ordered a waffle with eggs and pork sausage and my friend ordered the pancakes with eggs and pork sausage as well. There is some special ingredient in the batter because it had a very unique taste. Our overall experience was great, and I will definitely be returning...especially to try the French toast ”
“ Man! where do I start! Home fires crazy! French toast even more crazier ( don't need syrup) I mean everything was amazing! Definitely a hidden gem you guys need to check out!! ”
“ The Breakfast Spot has the best homemade home fries. I can literally eat about 20 orders of home fries within a hour, that's how good they taste. Add onions & peppers and that's like a dragon finding water. ”
“ Breakfast burrito and coffee baby Roar Mmmmm mmmm. Good Day Howllllll. Chowdizown ”
“ Yelp helped me find this place. I was going to go somewhere else (a food truck) but that was closed... so I checked Yelp and saw this was nearby and rated well. It did not disappoint. I got the breakfast with 2 eggs (I asked for over medium) with grits and whiting (fried). Pretty much what I expected because I've seen pictures on Yelp and other diners in the place ordering something similar. The whiting was expertly fried and not greasy, with a nice crunch and savory flavor. Grits were good but I am not by any means an expert judge on that. Interesting menu, not like what you would normally see around here (ie. fried whiting for breakfast). It was enjoyable sitting at the counter watching the cook and other staff work their magic and they have a system that works well. Sitting at the counter wasn't all that comfortable for me, I am not much for sitting on a stool. Coffee came in a to-go cup. Fixings for the coffee was on a table behind you, with half and half, flavored creamers on ice, and Splenda, Equal, and sugar. Parking wasn't great as this is downtown street parking with meters. Staff were friendly. Definitely looks like a neighborhood place. They were pretty busy even at 10:30am on a friday. I would come back and trying some other stuff on the menu. ”
