Today we went to The Dandy Lion for brunch. There was a 35 minute wait and they let you shop around downtown and send you a text when your table is ready. We had the mimosas and avocado toast which were delicious! They also provided both a red and green salsa as well as the typical condiments. Our server was friendly and cheerful and the other patrons in the restaurant were chill and welcoming.
Best biscuits to ever grace my mouth. Tony and all the wait staff have been so awesome and have treated us like friends and family whenever we come in. Well worth the wait and a little noise for great food and great service. Whoever is making those biscuits needs a raise.
Tony provided the best service and recommendations. The French toast with coconut curd, whipped cream, and strawberries was a winner! My dad comes here almost every weekend and enjoys the country fried steak (I believe that’s what it’s called), so I joined him on Saturday and was impressed. I figured I would give this place another try after being disappointed with the avocado toast a month or two ago, and I am sure happy that I returned prior to giving my opinion then....
