Smack Dab is our favorite breakfast spot. It's basically the treat we get whenever we're craving brunch. We love the food, but it's also great to support a local business that actively gives back to the community!

Think my expectations were too high based on the reviews. Definitely not the worst biscuits and gravy I’ve had, but pretty mid compared to other places. Surprised that this place is rated higher than Honey Bear Cafe. Would rather wait in line there than come back here haha

Smack Dab is a favorite of ours that we are soooo lucky to have in the neighborhood! Great breakfast, generous portion sizes, and a business you can feel good about supporting (they do so much mutual aid and community organizing and support). We <3 Tini and the team!
