Nicole Haigler, who owns Early Bird Diner along with her husband and head chef, Dexter, said the main attractions are the different specials they offer that are based around seasonal produce. Dexter writes a new menu for every Sunday brunch, which is served from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Their most popular items are always available, including their incredible chicken and waffles and the country scramble — a scrumptious concoction of their house-made sausage, potatoes, egg and cheddar topped with cream-pepper gravy and served with a biscuit or toast and a side. Early Bird even sells their own EBD blend of King Bean Coffee if you just can’t get enough in-house. You can also purchase products like their sweet & spicy red pepper jelly, bags of grits or jars of their honey mustard barbecue sauce. Photo courtesy of Early Bird Diner. Photo by Tonya Brisson.
