What to Order
Fried Chicken Benny
A unique take on Eggs Benedict featuring tender fried chicken, chipotle hollandaise, and served on cornbread.
"I got the fried chicken benny (sorry forgot the actual name), but my GOODness that was incredible. It tasted like a southern breakfast dream, the chicken was so tender and delicious, the chipotle hollandaise was perfect, and it was on corn bread! It was seriously the best breakfast ever."
Kelsey Denham
Brisket Benny
A savory Eggs Benedict featuring melt-in-your-mouth brisket, often served on a croissant with a blend of hollandaise and BBQ sauce.
"I ordered a Brisket Benny on a croissant. I opened up my book to jot down a few thought and my food appeared. Looked and smelled amazing. It tasted amazing too. Meat melted in my mouth with the buttery croissant. Sauces of the hollandaise and the bbq sauce together were beautiful."
