While it looks like a haul from Eastlake, it really is only a ten minute drive. Grab an Uber and you won't have to worry about parking or how many handcrafted cocktails you have! Their charcuterie selection is outstanding. And fries. Have something with the fries- steak frites or moules frites.

If you are searching for the ultimate banh mi, you must stop here for a #1. The key is to order at the counter, not the register. People will be standing in line waiting FOR their order, not TO order. Then you'll move to the register to pay. But like any good local hole-in-the-wall, it won't be obvious how the system works.

This place is even more busy since it was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Get in before 9:30a or you'll be on the waiting list (which is outside the door). Typical breakfast/brunch fare. There's always an awesome daily special.
