Lima
Sandwiched between a gas station and a Chinese restaurant, this restaurant is unexpected, and then some. Serving up classic American breakfasts such as sausage patties, eggs and thick slices of homemade bread, it's a cozy spot with outdoor seating to enjoy a midday brunch or laid-back night out with friends.
Renowned for its hamburgers, this little joint takes pride in using local ingredients and making its bread and sauces from scratch.
