The brunch game is strong here. If the regular lines don't convince you, the food certainly will. We were lucky enough to snag a table without a wait one weekend, and had one of the most delightful morning meals we've ever had in Chattanooga. I ordered the Big Kid breakfast, which came with well-crisped bacon, eggs your way (with optional cheese), a bowl of juicy berries, and a few slices of the famous Niedlov sourdough. Everything was hot and well done, especially the home fries, which tasted like chunks of seasoned, straight-out-of-the-fryer French fries - the optimal form of home fry, in my opinion.
My husband's prosciutto, egg, and smoked mozzarella sandwich immediately prompted him to crow about his love for prosciutto and ask things like, "Why don't we ever make this at home? It's delicious!" At our server's recommendation, he added the optional fried chicken to his meal (for an added charge of $5), but after tasting it, I'd say it's almost mandatory. It's crispy, beautifully seasoned, and a sinfully good addition to any breakfast plate here.
The hot honey on the table was something else. My husband experimentally drizzled some onto a piece of fried chicken, chewed thoughtfully, and clearly enjoyed it because in the next breath, he'd upturned the bottle and squirted honey all over the plate. It was good enough that we inquired about whether it was possible to take some home. If you're also curious, it's available for sale by the ounce and our server was kind enough to MacGyver us a spill-proof container so that we wouldn't lose any along our travels home.
There are some tables available outside, which might cut down on the waiting time if it's nice weather, but it's clear that the brunch atmosphere is best indoors, with the bustle of the crowds and the smells of coffee and pastries wafting in from the adjoining cafe area.
