Se7enBites

"A large sign just off the street signals the entrance to this bakery-café. Its bright green structure is hard to miss; inside, diners will discover a large space with wood paneling and a corrugated metal ceiling. Another wall decked with Bundt cake pans makes for a cool design feature. This is an undoubtedly inviting spot, with a friendly staff that churns out hearty American-Southern dishes in big portions and small prices.The chicken biscuit is a tender-fried revelation spread with cream cheese and pepper jelly. Next up, chicken pot pie available in hearty portions. Marked by a golden crust covering chunks of meat, peas and carrots, this is a forever favorite—and fittingly so. The large, mouthwatering display of sweet treats reminds you to save room." - Michelin Inspector

"Se7en Bites is our pick for the best brunch in the city. They serve both sweet and savory options until they close around 3pm, which means you can fulfill your tuna melt craving at 9am or eat a plate of hot cakes at 2pm. Pair whatever you pick with a peach lavender mimosa, and freshly baked oatmeal cream pie for dessert. If you can’t decide, go for their buttermilk fried chicken biscuit or one of their consistently good Southern specials like pimento cheese poutine. There’s usually a line out the door, but it moves quickly." - Cheryl Rodewig

"Very few hangovers would survive breakfast and brunch at Se7en Bites. The menu is stocked with crowd-pleasers, including a buttermilk garlic biscuit topped with a soufflé-baked egg, homemade sausage, and a dollop of pimento cheese. Benedicts are drenched in peppercorn hollandaise and sidled with fried green tomatoes and applewood smoked bacon. Lunch is all about re-imagined diner classics—try the meatloaf sandwich smeared with mashed potato, tuna melts with herbed mayo, and chicken pot pie. You could, of course, come for the fully loaded bakery case alone." - Terry Ward
