"Rosie’s is the brunch you should actually make a reservation for. This is because it’s pretty packed on the weekends, but also because their menu of Southern dishes is worth arranging an entire day around. If you’re in the mood for something fried, go for Rosie’s chicken or crispy fish, which you can order with waffles, in sandwich form, or served over the best grits within a 25 mile radius. But even if you just want a photoshoot-ready omelette and a seasonal juice, Rosie’s works. It’s that rare special occasion brunch that doesn’t require waiting hours for a table and putting up with loud people who’ve had 13 mimosas." - ryan pfeffer
