Hands down best breakfast around -- although you have to go over the bridge to get it. Lines start forming a little after 8:30 a.m. so best for the early risers. Great breakfast specials and farm fresh eggs, coffee, and delicious grits (yes, delicious!)

Its a drive, but if you are exploring, do check it out. Very local food and different prices -- so good for families and others. No reservations at least for small groups so best to plan to wait or arrive right at or before 5 p.m.

Great way to walk or bike around the neighborhoods of Knightville, Millcreek, Meeting House Hill and Willard Beach. In the process, go to the grocery store, get coffee, look at Bug Light and Spring Point Light.
