Whether it’s been a late night or an early morning, sometimes we just need a brunch that feeds our soul as much as our stomachs. After a concert or a long work week, comfort food – pancakes, hash and slingers – is what you need on a Sunday morning. Here are five spots dishing out homestyle brunch.
On a lazy Sunday, there’s nothing like a crispy, cheesy hash, and Kingside Diner has a standout version of the classic. Its Meat Me in St. Louis Skillet has got it all: bacon, sausage, ham, peppers, onion, cheddar and your choice of eggs served over a mountain of hash browns. If some hair of the dog is in order, Kingside also has Irish Coffee and apple cider Mimosas.

Nothing says comfort food like Cajun cuisine, and Grand Pied uses New Orleans flavors to deliver a unique take on brunch. Don’t miss the baby beignets tossed in butter and topped with sausage gravy and your choice of eggs. The breakfast po’boy, with andouille, slaw and scrambled eggs, will become your new favorite breakfast sandwich. Take note: Grand Pied is BYOB and does not seat parties larger than four people.

This Soulard building has housed a diner for 40 years, and Nadine’s Hash House is carrying on this tradition with its scratch-made breakfast. On its diverse menu, in addition to classics, you’ll find unexpected gems, like the diner tamales, smothered in chili, cheddar and onions. Open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., Nadine’s is there when nothing but diner fare will do.

Since opening in Princeton heights, Hatch’d has become a neighborhood standby for its cozy atmosphere and house-smoked meats. The Benny’s Got Beef – English muffin with smoked brisket, jalapeño queso, two eggs and pico de gallo – packs a punch. For something a little different than your ordinary Mimosa, order the Princeton Penknife: house-infused pineapple strawberry vodka, orange juice and apple cider.
