Booth is available to sit in which is cool. Now onto what your here for food anddrinks! The arcade has a solid brunch drink menu that surely anyone can find what they are looking for; from spiked hotchocolate to spiked mimosas. We chose the spiked mimosas and they didn’t disappoint. It’s a traditional mimosa made withDeep Eddy’s Orange. Josh and I normally share meals but not today we came hungry and looking forward to this meal. I orderedthe eggs redneck which includes slap yo mama good biscuits and gravy. Josh went with the pancakes because he needed a vehiclefor the syrup to make it to his mouth. It was an all around wonderful experience and I left with an adorable souvenir coffeemug!

It's right around the corner from the Civil Rights Museum so the location is great. Four vegetarians were able to order four different dishes which is always a plus in mybook. I think the Greek Salad was the winner but everyone enjoyed their meals. The make-your-own omelette was fun though I got abit carried away- don't go for the garlic add-on, too much even for garlic lovers. The waitress was kind enough to mention thebiscuit gravy was vegetarian and there was no issue making veggie modifications on one of the sandwich options.
