    Downtown’s go-to spot for Omelets, burgers & classic brunch fare whipped up in a straightforward restaurant. Reasonable prices and a good selection.

    There’s a lot to love, but what we really love about Toasters is its all-day breakfast, especially the most obscenely decadent dish on that breakfast menu: bananas foster French toast, served with two eggs and two strips of bacon so that you can pretend you’re eating “breakfast” instead of what is clearly and awesomely a huge plate of dessert.
