Foodie Review: Dawn A.M. Eatery

Nestled in the heart of Hyde Park, Dawn A.M. Eatery is where morning comfort meets inventive flair. Known for its vibrant, all-day brunch menu, the restaurant combines cozy southern classics with unique dishes, ideal for both quick bites and lingering brunches. 

I was very happy to add Dawn A.M. Eatery on the list for my personal 2024 Brunch Challenge.  I’ve seen the restaurant a few times while driving in the area for tacos, but I had no idea of the amount of southern classics that were on the menu.  The restaurant is located at the base of the Windemere House apartments.

Some of the interesting dishes that are at Dawn A.M. Eatery are: Chicken and Waffle and smoked salmon deviled eggs as appetizers. There’s also pot roast and jalapeno grits and Georgia peach pancakes. 

We basically filled the table with food, including Lemon Raspberry Waffles, Blackened Catfish and a side of Jalapeño Grits with bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. We also enjoyed a croissant and orange roll. 

We thoroughly enjoyed all of our food; my tastebuds were definitely doing a happy dance.  While dining, one of the owners walked around and greeted guests, and asked how we were doing and if we enjoyed the meal. I thought that was a nice experience before leaving. 

If you’re ever in the Hyde Park area, you should definitely check it out.  Reservations are highly suggested.
