Grits & Eggs Breakfast Kitchen

While it’s far easier to slide in without a wait during the weekday, the weekend scene at Grits & Eggs in Vinings should hold a place on your brunch bucket list. That’s because the everyday diner usually has a live pianist on weekends to jazz up the place—crispy fried snapper and creamy grits paired with Songs in the Key of Life is the winning combo your weekend needs. If you don’t feel like breakfast (the coconut pancakes are a must), look at the meat-and-two menu for selections like ribeye, mac, and collards. And if the weather is warm, their spacious covered patio is a nice spot to take in views of the scenic lake nearby.
