Easter Sunday is also a crowded brunch day.

Early risers and sunrise church worshippers fill the restaurants for breakfast.

(If you don’t believe me, check the line at an Ol’ South Pancake House.)

If you’re looking for a brunch table, try one of the early weekend restaurants such as H3 Ranch, Pacific Table, The Tavern or Woodshed Smokehouse.
