Bob Berry: Meeting Street Eggs. Poached egg atop a crab cake atop a fried green tomato. Topped by a southern roumalade. Wished the egg was more runny so it would blend with crab cake and wish for more tomato.
Leah Foster: Get the Eggs Meeting Street (poached egg, crab cake, atop a fried green tomato), French toast, Bloody Mary( extra spicy), creme brûlée latte.
Jess Coleman: Eggs Meeting Street (fried green tomato, crab cake, poached egg) is definitely worth ordering, but you may want to get your sauce on the side unless you want to swim in a pool of mayo.

B Nash: Brunch menu is excellent. Bistro Benedict (crab cake, pork belly, poached egg, hollandaise on a buttermilk biscuit) is divine. Make a res on OpenTable.

Pet S: She Crab soup is OFF the HOOK, even on a hot day. Trust. Also: Southern Peach cocktail. DO IT.

Kendal Rosenberger: I had the delicious salad with the poached egg, toasted hazelnuts, rendered bacon and hazelnut vinaigrette dressing.
Lindsey Rix: Get the house mojito. We've loved the mussells, the burger, steak roquefurt, and the beef short ribs. They can do meat to fish all wonderful and in classic French style.
CHARLIE: ONLY order: mussels, burger/fries or sushi. If you stick with these three things, you will have a fantastic meal. Don't stray. Read more.

Scott Haithcock: Brunch is the bomb! Excellent bloodys and great food!
Esquire: Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. A dark, old neighborhood bar with crappy service and not enough room, and it's impossible not to love. Good beer, great food. Read more.
Blaine Crevar: The marble table booth is the best seat in the place.
