The Village Deli (Best breakfast)
Friends are in from out of town. You all had an awesome Saturday night, and they’ve got to hit the road 10 a.m. Sunday. You all wake up at 9 a.m. and head down Kirkwood to the best breakfast hub in town — the Village Deli.
There may very well be a wait — the restaurant is often completely packed, note the slogan, “Eat and Get Out!” — but it’s entirely worth it.
From the restaurant’s “famous, colossal, huge, ginormous, fresh” pancakes to the cheese- and gravy-topped Paxton’s Potatoes worth waking up at dawn for, the Village Deli is the perfect spot for brunching with friends.
