| About: | An Eastern Orthodox Priest runs this unassuming restaurant. It is often difficult to find a table, but worth the wait. Try the huge, fluffy homemade rolls, both wheat and white. The omelets can be ordered with a variety of toppings including spinach, mushrooms and feta cheese. On the side, try the sauteed potatoes, which can be topped with black beans, Swiss cheese, green onions or salsa. The decor is simple with red and white checkered tablecloths and few pictures. There are two dining rooms or you may eat at the bar. Classical music, makes this a pleasant place to start the day. |

Their reputation is correct. The best breakfast in Memphis. Small, quaint atmosphere. Fantastic, healthy menu. Good coffee. Great service with a smile. Worth the wait on the weekend.
After registering by name for breakfast and agreeing to an estimated 20 minutes wait I heard my name called, but when I approached the manager's stand, I discovered that someone else, with my name, who had come in just a moment earlier, had taken my place. The young woman apologized but refused to rectify the mistake. We were offered the next table, which was outside. When we were led to the table, we observed newly arriving patrons seating themselves without registering. The management would not evict them and make them wait their turn. The visual charm of a scantily clad bimbo manageress did not make up for her poor organizational skills. We left and will not go back.
Everyone loves this place. I've been twice because I keep hearing how great it is. It's not all that, though. I mean, I guess for Memphians it's really cool because it's quaint and stuff doesn't match. The food is pretty average and is, in my humble opinion, overpriced. A can of Coke will set you back about $2 and you don't get any refills. I just can't see a twenty minute wait for this place.
