Hands down the best breakfast in Charlotte, with an entertaining floor show to boot if Jimmy is fussing at his mother (or vice versa). On a good day, I'll start off with a John Biscuit - basically a ham, egg and cheese biscuit....that's an appetizer according to Jimmy (owner and John's son). Their grits are perfect so I rarely get hashbrowns (which are diced/fried potatoes vs. waffle house style). Smoked sausage is great - not your typical generic sausage - order the \"big links\". The other trick that I learned is to order \"grilled toast\". One of the No Grease barbers ordered it once, and I was sold...he butters up the bread and grills it on the flat top....ridiculously good. My only complaints are  the average to below-average coffee and the tiny napkins (also no equal...boo). Wait staff has typical diner efficiency. Get their early for breakfast on the weekends!!!! How people can pay double digits at Zada Jane's when this gem is across the street is beyond me.
