Big Ed's City Market Restaurant Review

: Famous for its hearty country-style breakfasts, Big Ed’s has an exuberantly decorated dining room festooned with artifacts of Southern farm culture, from antique plows to vintage tobacco tins. Start your breakfast with thick pancakes with molasses and sage-accented sausage or country ham served with grits and red-eye gravy and you’ll know why the South has risen again. Ed’s enormous biscuits are legendary. Lunchtime options include all the traditional favorites---chicken and dumplings, country-fried steak, and fried oysters, each served with your choice of two vegetables (butter beans and collard greens are standouts). Fresh fruit cobblers are classics of the genre and the meringue-topped banana pudding is the old-South personified.
