Best A2 Foodie Spots

I know that when my parents come into town, I always spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to decide where we should go out to eat. Not only do I want to get the best free meal I can, I also want to give them a great impression of the town that I now call home. Not only do I want you to be able to impress family, but you can also treat a local or visiting friend at a reliably excellent place!

Breakfast:

For breakfast (or, as we all prefer, brunch), you’ve really got to do Sava’s. From their upscale modern aesthetic to their ridiculously good oatmeal, this place has got you covered. They have a Brunch Buffet on Sunday’s from 10am-2pm, and a regular breakfast menu that is served every other day of the week.

The brunch buffet has a varying menu, but one staple you’ve got to try is the homemade poptarts – trust me! The rest of the week, I recommend the Puffed French Toast, which will rock your world. Personally, there isn’t a single item on their breakfast menu that I’ve disliked. This place will taste and feel quite fancy, without making a massive dent in the wallet. The wait on the weekend can be large, so be sure to make a Sava's reservation through Open Table.

Other favorites include: Songbird Cafe, Northside Grille, and Afternoon Delight.

Dinner:

The one restaurant that I’m always down to take anyone to is Jolly Pumpkin. Located on Main Street, this brew pub has a huge variety of foods that can please anyone! They have pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, and a variety of high end rotating specials, such as lamb chops. You can order something classic and simple, or go crazy with a potato pizza or red chile tofu sandwich. As with any brew pub, they also have a large selection of delicious beers for those of you who are 21+. Some items can reach more typical high-end main street prices, but most are representative of any pub food (just tastier). There can be a bit of a wait on a weekend night, but typically not too much.

Other favorites include: Frita Batidos, Fleetwood Diner, Tomukun, and Jerusalem Garden.
