I recommend reservations if you are going for Sunday Brunch. Today was our second Sunday trying their brunch menu. Last week my husband had the Tamale pie which he totally devoured! I had the folded eggs with ham and hash browns all excellent. Today we both had the Nook special. Choice of 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon and 2 griddle cakes with syrup. Other than my scrambled eggs needed to be cooked a tad longer it was all excellent. Next week I am deciding between the Honey Chipotle Eggs Benedict and the Banana Griddle cakes with side of their awesome thick bacon. Will report next Sunday!
