Description:
We were already partial to this place, but when they busted out some heroic culinary moves, as the first restaurant in their neighborhood (if not in the city) to reopen, they won our hearts and loyalty forever. (Seriously, Katrina had barely passed and they dodged anxious health inspectors by serving only fried eggs and other easy-cleanup items on plastic dinnerware.) In the process, they not only became a meeting place for stressed-out hunkered-down locals, but they also demonstrated for other intrepid restaurant owners how they could do likewise. Come for classic diner food with modern diner clever names (not that we mind) like "Low Carbonator" and burgers named after famous folks, though we aren't sure why the Robert Johnson has bacon and bleu cheese, unless it's something to do with the lengths one might go to (such as make a deal with the devil at the crossroads) in order to have such a burger. There are large salads, omelets, and even sweet-potato pancakes and a biscuit topped with étouffée. It's a fine, fun stop while you are shopping, for an Uptown breakfast.

Great breakfast in Uptown

Lovely grits with goat cheese. Randomly, I had the super (?) fries for breakfast and they helped the hangover. Super friendly service. Easy walk from the Hampton Inn on St. Charles.
