Another great breakfast with server Destiny J. Super service and good food…read more Wife had baked potato soup, for breakfast ($5.99). It was thick and creamy and really filling. reinforces that you can order anything from the menu, plus specials at any time at the Metro. I had my boring but immensely satisfying two egg breakfast ($11.29). Two pork sausage patties and wonderful hash browns. I could have crispy or regular versions. Went with crispy as they were crispy on top and soft underneath. Yum, yum and dragged them through my two over medium eggs. Eight grain toast topped it all off, along with nicely strong black coffee ($3.69). Have to mention that the two restrooms, I checked both, were spotlessly clean. Quite a trick when you consider the customer flow at the Metro. Good job, folks. Easy parking.

Had a great brunch at Eggspectation and honestly can't stop thinking about the food! The French…read moretoast was delicious, but the blueberry lemon pancakes were the real star -- such a great flavor combo. Everything came out fresh and tasted amazing. What really made the experience though was our server Caitlin. She was so friendly and personable from the moment we sat down -- the kind of server that genuinely makes you feel welcome and not just like another table. You can tell she actually enjoys what she does, and that energy is contagious. Overall a really solid brunch spot. If you go, hope you get lucky enough to have Caitlin as your server -- she's the real deal. Will definitely be back!

I won't say that I'm the biggest fan of this place. We received really great service, and I…read moredefinitely want to give credit where credit is due. Unfortunately, the food just did not meet our expectations--especially considering the price. The crab and shrimp omelette was definitely not a hit for me. I was expecting more, but unfortunately, it fell short. Overall, the service was excellent, but the food and value just weren't there for us. I always appreciate good service, but when you're paying the prices they charge, you expect the food to match. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me.

Upon my umpteenth visit to Le Peep, the restaurant where eggs are not merely served but revered,…read moreI've decided it's high time I shared the good, the great, and the gluten-y of this culinary cathedral. First, let's talk ambiance. Le Peep doesn't just serve breakfast; it serves breakfast with a side of sunshine, no matter the weather. It's the kind of place where you half expect the chickens that laid your eggs to sit at the next table, gossiping about the rooster's latest escapades. The service? Impeccable. The staff are so friendly, you'll want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner. They remember your name, your order, and even your dog's birthday. How do they do it? Magic? ESP? We may never know. The food, ah, the food! It's like your grandmother's cooking--if your grandmother was a five-star chef with a penchant for perfection. The quiche with bacon and spinach is a work of art, a perfect balance of fluffy egg, savory bacon, and fresh spinach, paired with fresh fruit that tastes like it was plucked from Eden itself. And the mimosas? Let's just say they're the reason brunch was invented. They somehow manage to make mornings not just bearable but blissful. But it's not all sunshine and smoothies. There's a dark cloud on this brunch paradise: the lack of gluten-free options. (Which is why it gets 4 stars and not 5) Now, I'm not saying every dish should be gluten-free. I'm just suggesting that perhaps the gluten-full bread and waffles could scoot over to make room for their gluten-free cousins. Imagine the joy, the sheer elation, of gluten-intolerant folks being able to devour a stack of waffles without fear. It's not just food; it's freedom. Their lattes and smoothies are the nectar of the gods. The baristas must be part wizard because what they do with coffee and fruit is nothing short of magical. These beverages could very well be the elixir of life, or at the very least, the elixir of morning people. In conclusion, Le Peep is a brunch haven with a small, gluten-shaped hole in its menu. Fill that hole, Le Peep, and you won't just be the talk of the town; you'll be the talk of the gluten-free world. Until then, I'll be over here, sipping my mimosa, plotting how to smuggle in my own gluten-free bread without being caught. Cheers!

This is the cutest little gem tucked away at the end of a strip mall. The second you walk in, you're greeted by a fun poppy mural and a display of all the delicious pastries of the day. Immediately I'm like, okay, I'm going to like it here! We had about a 20-minute wait, but thankfully there was plenty of time for mimosas and catch up chitchat! And honestly, the time flew by... we weren't even finished with them before we were seated. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was on point from there. Someone filled our water glasses almost immediately after we sat down, and we never had a dry cup. Mimosa refills were quick, too! I also grabbed a chai latte that came in the cutest old-school homemade-looking cup and was perfectly warm and spiced. Soooo good! For food, two of us ordered the Fresh Pick Sandwich with fresh tomatoes, stracciatella, kale pesto aioli, arugula, fresh basil and balsamic glaze on perfectly toasted sourdough. I added avocado and bacon and basically turned it into the most deliciously elevated BLT of my life. I also made a pro side swap for my side and went with the cheesy grits. They were delicious. No notes! My friend got the Fresh Pick without tomatoes and added prosciutto, and another friend ordered The Grit with shrimp, and that plate was BEAUTIFUL. Sweet pepper and tomato sauce, mushrooms, crispy onions, arugula and an egg over a plate of grits. Between us, there were clean plates, full bellies and a whole lot of "what are we trying next time?" conversations happening. The food came out quickly, the service was great, the atmosphere was adorable, and it was just an all-around excellent brunch. My only complaints? 1-Why do they have the cutest pastry merch for kids but not adults... I need that "I'm flaky" croissant shirt lol! And 2-Why is this little gem not closer to me?! But clearly that just means I need to make the drive again. Poppyseed Kitchen has officially been added to the "worth the trip" list!

America is a unique and vibrant country. And sometimes, to experience its true atmosphere, warmth,…read moreand diversity, you don't have to look for anything extraordinary. Sometimes, all you need to do is walk into a nearby Diner. A Diner is a place where you can truly immerse yourself in wonderful American traditions, experience genuine respect for others, and get a feeling for what a particular neighborhood is all about. It's not simply a place to have breakfast. It's a small but important part of the community -- a place where, over a cup of coffee and a good meal, you can feel the local atmosphere, see the people, hear their conversations, and, for a little while, become part of everyday American life. Today, our family breakfast turned into a wonderful collection of bright emotions and pleasant discoveries. Completely by chance, we discovered a beautiful new place in North Carolina -- Big View Diner. And the experience begins even before you walk through the door. You immediately notice how clean and well-kept everything is. Once inside, you are welcomed by beautiful design, a warm and cozy atmosphere, and, most importantly, genuine human kindness. Today, our wonderful experience was made even better by Maria, the lovely and friendly young woman who took care of us. Her beautiful Spanish smile, natural Latin warmth and hospitality, combined with attentive yet professional and never intrusive service, made us feel welcome from the very first minute. And then comes the most important part -- the food! The wonderful kitchen team, using fresh ingredients from local markets and farmers' markets, turns an ordinary breakfast into a little work of culinary art. And it is in places like this that you realize something very simple: American culture is not only about skyscrapers, highways, and big cities. It is also about small neighborhood Diners where the tradition of meeting, talking, sharing a smile, and simply enjoying time together is still alive. Today we experienced exactly that -- warmth, hospitality, wonderful service, delicious food, and the feeling that we had discovered another little corner of the real America. A big thank-you to Maria and the entire Big View Diner team for giving our family such a wonderful morning! Sometimes, you don't need to search for something grand to feel the soul of America. All you need to do is walk into a good Diner.

I got the Caesar chicken salad wrap and it came with a generous amount of fries. The only miss: don't get the $1 cookies. They were stale and tasted like plastic wrap.

A lovely discrete treasure, a blessing to the South Charlotte food scene…read more This easy to find yet tucked away café was the best breakfast I've had in many years. The meal started off with an iced rosemary lavender latte crafted with their in house syrup made with cane sugar and fresh herbs. Rosemary and coffee has been a revelation to my palate and I'll be back for this alone. Which I will happily enjoy in this comfortable and cute dining area. Breakfast was made to order from fresh ingredients, piping hot and intentionally seasoned. As their bright and cheerful owner puts it, the main ingredient is love. And trust me, you can taste it. This is the first time in my two decades of eating tofu that I can actually shoutout how delicious it is. And the aromas coming of this photogenic waffle were mouthwatering. While Charlotte has become over run with corporate and copy cat restaurants, it is truly a thing of comfort to enjoy a delicious meal made by good people that care not only about what's on the plate, but who is eating from it. 6 stars

I came in initially having high expectations due to the high rating on Yelp…read more When you walking in, it's a local coffee shop feel with brunch food which is inviting. We didn't wait for too long for the table as people were just leaving. It took a bit for the waiter to come to our table and took even longer for him to get our food orders in, which we noticed he got the food orders in for the other tables with people who came in after us. This then lead them to getting their food before ours. I ordered the breakfast combo which came with 2 eggs, bacon, and waffle. I was a bit surprised that this place didn't have any chicken or turkey protein side options as I've seen is common with brunch places. I also got my eggs scrambled which, as you can see by the picture, came out as an omelette. When asking the worker about the confusion, he doubled down on it being scrambled eggs and even gossiped to his coworker about it as well. Upon the unfair wait and the egg situation, I will not be returning here again.

It can get quite busy and loud, so it's not the best place for an intimate conversation, and reservations can sometimes be difficult to get. That said, it's absolutely worth it. The menu changes regularly, so I try to visit whenever they announce a new one. Yesterday, we shared several small plates. The bacon-wrapped dates were phenomenal. I almost ordered a second serving before realizing we still had four other dishes coming! The chicken and waffles definitely satisfied my craving--crispy, savory, and full of flavor. The mushroom ravioli was also outstanding. We finished with the stuffed calamari, which reminded me of something my mom used to make when I was younger. It wasn't Asian-inspired like hers, but the concept brought back some wonderful memories. To top it all off, I enjoyed a delicious dessert while feeling pleasantly tipsy from the evening. I'd call that a win!
