Expert notes
- Early Bird Diner is famous for its creative twists on classic southern dishes. Their signature dish is the Chicken and Waffles - crispy fried chicken on top of fluffy waffles, drizzled with maple syrup. Another must-try dish is the Shrimp and Grits, which is cooked to perfection with the right balance of flavor and texture. For lunch, don't miss the pimento cheeseburger or the fried green tomato BLT. If you're in the mood for something sweet, indulge in the Pancakes or the French Toast.
