Brother Juniper’s
Right next to the University of Memphis just off the Highland strip sits one of the best breakfast spots in town in a plain little house behind a white picket fence. Cheerful but not fancy, Brother Juniper’s can be a very hard ticket, especially on weekends, when locals line up to wait for a table. If you do score a seat, try the buttermilk biscuits, blintzes, and sausages as well as the Mediterranean-inspired fare including gyros. The family-run eatery is vegetarian-friendly, too, with an excellent spanakopita omelet and a breakfast tofu stir-fry. Your best bet to beat the lines: Go early on a weekday. If you get there but can’t wait it out, there is good news: A short hop over to Summer Avenue will yield a fantastic alternative, Bryant’s Breakfast (3965 Summer Ave.; tel. 901/324-7494), a bustling, counter-serve eatery open Wednesday through Sunday, from 5am to 2pm.
