Chicken and Waffles from The Hungry Owl
 

 

5. The Hungry Owl

Where: 7899 Cottage Hill Rd.
When: 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. | Sundays

What to Get: Feeling crazy? Order the Chicken and Waffles which come lathered in a Conecuh bacon and candied jalapeno peanut butter with fried chicken wings and drizzled with a house made syrup and Cajun hollandaise sauce. It sounds weird, but it's a genius flavor combination.

6. Cafe 615

Where: 615 Dauphin St.
When: 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. | Sundays
What to Get:​ Always go for the Lobster Crepes. They're a fancy French excuse to eat lobster and Gouda for breakfast. The Bottomless Champagne ($5 with entree) is just icing on the cake.

7. Spot of Tea

Where: 310 Dauphin St. 
When: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. | Saturdays and Sundays
What to Get: Their classic Monte Cristo is probably the best thing you'll ever eat under $10. But if you want to shake things up, go with the Bananas Foster French Toast. Add a side of bacon and you'll be in brunch heaven.

Where: 916 Charleston St.
When: 10 a.m. | Sundays

Where: 225 Dauphin St.
When: 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. | Saturdays and Sundays
