Ron R.Ron Rowland: Possibly my favorite breakfast place in the city. I may be in the "Savory French Toast" rut. But it's a very tasty rut to be in.

TJ C.TJ Callanta: Plenty of reasons the wife and I are 6 year regulars. Easily the best brunch spot the NorthSide has to offer. Bread Pudding Pancakes, Sweet & Savory FT, & The Hash? The whole menu won't disappoint.

Joe D.Joe Dodson: The Hash has been threw a couple changes since I first came here in 2010 & I have to say the version I had today blew me away. Best breakfast I have had in a while.
