Sit outside and relax at the picnic tables or sit inside beneath tons of chandeliers like the fancy sandwich eaters that you are.
Dailies and Sides

A great spot for breakfast on the weekends and burgers during the week would be Dailies and Sides! A fun little touch they do is bring popcorn out when you get seated so you have a little something to munch on. For breakfast they have everything from pancakes and chicken and waffles to breakfast sandwiches and grit bowls. The Meat the Fockers burger is a huge hit here. If you love the meats, this is the burger for you.
