Hungry for brunch? Here are some SouthCoast places to dig into this weekend
The answer is always "yes" when brunch is the question. If there was ever a perfect meal it would be brunch; the combination of breakfast and lunch, sweet and savory, all rolled into one delicious offering. It is also great for those who are not early birds to be able to enjoy their favorites, just at a more "reasonable" hour.
There is nothing better than sleeping in on Sunday after a late Saturday night and then heading out to brunch in the afternoon to get the classics like chicken waffles or a breakfast sandwich stuffed with eggs, meat, and cheese.
Sunday brunches filled with mimosas and bloody marys and eggs benedicts and waffles are all over the SouthCoast. We can't possibly name them all, but here are a few places to check out and enjoy:
