Rank 1. Molly's Rise and Shine
Southern American
Formica and vinyl chairs anchor this Garden District breakfast-only spot where nostalgia meets riff. The Grand Slam McMuffin—sage sausage, hashbrown, griddled onions, American cheese—elevates the fast-food template, while collard greens over grits gain complexity through salsa macha and a peanut salad. Comfort food with ambition, served without pretense.
