If you can, this place has some of the best food in town. It is usually packed BUT you can "get in line" with the No Wait App. They will tell you a time, and you just check in with the host when you arrive. Go for breakfast, served all day. Worth the venture north of town (you may want to drive). Plenty of street parking.
