    If you're looking a proper diner with cheap eggs, toast, pancakes...etc, this is the place. Try "The Heap" for $5.95, it’s a pile of potatoes, eggs, and cheddarjack served with toast or a biscuit. Read more

    Been here many times and love the food! Try the Cream Cheese special served with a grilled bagel...or one of their specialty pancakes. Or a blue plate special. Any of it is great!!!!

    This is a small diner that serves typical breakfast with a southern flair. I ordered grits and deep fried catfish.

    The best breakfast in the world. The best part if having kids was waking up early enough to get in before the 1 hr wait.

    Cash only. Make sure you sign in when you walk in if it is busy. You do not have to wait for a hostess to sign you in, you can do it yourself.

    Nice place if you want to have a late breakfast. But, you will gain weight quickly if you eat there too often.

    Edgewood Heap is amazing, way too much food to finish! Pico a little spicy so it adds a great kick to the eggs.
