Maizie's is one of my favorite brunch spots. They whip up a delicious omelet (you choose the fillings from a bevy of options) and I love the potatoes on the side. I can never seem to make my way through a whole Bloody Mary at other places - too much tomato, too spicy, too strong. However, the Bloody Mary at Maizie's is just perfect. They also have a great happy hour! Try the wingless buffalo dip - if I wasn't vegetarian, it would be my go-to snack to accompany an ice cold beer.
