About The Universal

The Universal is a hidden gem with generously sized portions, ensuring a satisfying meal. The menu offers delicious options, including a vegan tempeh scramble with tasty green chili sauce, and massive pancakes that are a must-try. Guests can also enjoy the pork green chili and grits, which have a good heat and excellent taste. The custard toast provides a unique twist, perfect for breakfast lovers. **The kitchen is really dialed-in. Their eggs Benedict is always great, always consistent. The salad that comes with it is lightly drizzled with lemon, so it really pops.** The owner, Courtney, enhances the visit by sharing samples of their delicious grits. **The staff are great, owners care, and the food is consistently on point.** **The Rueben with an egg on it is amazing, and their Philly Cheesesteak on the lunch menu.** **Barbacoa grits was excellent, and corned beef hash was spot on.** The homemade biscuits and sausage are amazing, and the potatoes are perfectly cooked. The restaurant stands out with its unique offerings while still serving classic breakfast fare. The signage can be a bit hard to see, so it's important to look for it in the strip mall on 38th. Overall, it is a super fun brunch spot and worth checking out, whether dining alone or in a group. **Service is surprisingly fast, given how busy it often is.**
