Road Food Rating – Memorable – One of the Best
Perched above the riverfront, Two Cracked Eggs stands out as a Savannah breakfast best. It serves the morning meal all day (from 7am to 3pm closing). Customers praise it for large portions and high quality. Much of what comes from this kitchen delivers not only good flavor, but plenty of fun.
Both service and decor sport an upbeat rustic attitude. The waitstaff delivers meals on cast iron trays and in little skillets. You can order bacon hanging on the clothesline where it was cooked. Tables are made of rough-hewn wood. Country-girl waitresses find time to chat you up, even when they’re busy.
Cat Head Biscuits and House-Made Jam
Most meals come with a biscuit. A crisp edge distinguishes the monumental cat head. Spread it with house-made “Traffic Jam,” a mix of blackberries, red raspberries, and strawberries.
The menu seeks to entertain diners. Consider such items as white trash hash (spuds, onions, peppers, and sausage gravy), peach French toast dotted with sugared pecans, and shrimp Benedict.
Of course you will find a full roster of eggs, crepes, waffles, and breakfast sandwiches. Most meals come with stone-ground grits in a cute little iron skillet. By the way, Two Cracked Eggs does serve lunch, too: sandwiches, wraps, and salads. Some day, if ever breakfast does not seem like a good idea (hah!), maybe I’ll try a Philly cheese steak or an avocado club.
The restaurant’s cramped quarters can be daunting. Its reputation as a Savannah breakfast best means that you likely will wait for a table, especially on a nice weekend morning.
