Looking for places to eat in Savannah, I kept seeing recommendations for Toast! all Day, a restaurant serving Southern style breakfast, and had to check it out. In fact we went twice: lunch and breakfast as I really wanted to try something there. The place is fairly big, bright, with a nice mural in the back and a view of the kitchen pass that can be quite busy.
For beverages, both times I got their Redeye ($5.50), a shot of espresso in drip coffee, that was good and perfect for me as I like strong coffee, while Jodi had a tea.

We first tried their Big Biscuit ($5), house made and regular size, served with a berry coulis and butter. I admit that I thought it was a bit disappointing, missing the slight crunch on the outside and tasting too much of the baking powder. But lots of butter and coulis did the trick. We then proceeded with an avocado toast ($14) for Jodi that was good, and their Eggs meeting street ($19), that I really liked. It was composed of a crab cake sandwiched between two fried tomatoes and topped with a rémoulade and a poached egg. I chose a biscuit instead of toast and with grits that I thought were lumpy and bland. Although the poached egg had its yolk all over, probably broken when put on the plate, I really enjoyed it: the fried green tomatoes were good and gave a slight crunch and the crab cake was delicious. Quite a nice twist to a crab Benedict and a comforting dish. Another egg dish we tried is their classic breakfast ($18), consisting of two eggs any style (we ask for scrambled) and a choice of meat (we chose sausage), that they served with potatoes and an all wheat toast. Classic, a bit pricey for what it was. I’ll pass on the bowl of fruits ($6) and will go straight to what I was looking for to try: their New Orleans beignets ($12), that they told us was recognized at some point as the best beignets outside New Orleans. These fried beignets were covered by a thick blanket of powdered sugar and served with preserves that I did not really care for, focusing more on these pillowy and chewy treasures. I admit that it was hard to stop…and agree that it is a must have.

Overall this was good, this place is convenient as it opens early, and the staff was really welcoming. If I was to go, I would definitely finish my meal with beignets or…make it my entire meal…

Enjoy (I did)!
