"Brookland’s dreamy bistro sends out classics like homemade buttermilk waffles dressed with vanilla plum compote, a crowd-pleasing pork hash with confit baby Yukon potatoes, poached eggs, and hollandaise. Don’t sleep on the popular smash burger with Coulter Farms gruyere, charred onion, and dijonnaise with fries, with the option to add eggs and bacon. Go big (then go home) with pitchers of rotating French 75s. A dining room joins a gorgeous glassy patio framed with roll-up doors, with ’90s hip-hop tracks spinning in the background during brunch (11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays)." - Tierney Plumb
