Red Dog Diner

The Red Dog Diner has a very cool atmosphere and even better food. If you go, make sure you ask to be seated in the back, since they have outdoor/indoor seating inside a redesigned garage. Open daily from 8am to 10pm, this is the brunch spot on Magazine you don’t want to miss. They have bloodys, mimosas, and eggs bennys galore. Two favorites you have to try: the Corned Beef Hash if you are in the mood for something salty and the Sweet Potato Pancakes if you are in the mood for something sweet. Both are to die for!

Molly’s Rise and Shine

The decor is kitschy with a 90’s feel and the menu is creative and delicious. With a huge variety, and arguably the best breakfast sandwiches ever, this place is the perfect spot to nurse a hangover. Although they do not sell their own alcohol, you can BYOB (which is arguably better in our opinion). A few other things to note: Molly’s is closed on Tuesday, and is on the pricier side.

Elizabeths

This is an Heirloom family favorite! The food is incredible, and the atmosphere is cozy with a fun local vibe. If there is a wait, go upstairs – there is a bar where you can order one of their delicious bloody marys while you wait for your table! Pro tip: get the praline bacon or the fried green tomato benedict. You won’t regret it.

The Country Club
