The Bnl

So this is the first time I've been to this restaurant since its relocation and again it didn't disappoint. Dover has a handful of restaurants that are good... like 3 and this by far is our favorite. Considering that I drove from DC with my wife just to get get brunch should say alot. My wife got the chicken and waffles and I got the fish and grits . Crispy well seasoned batter and love in every waffle and the fish and grits had that authentic southern taste. Friendly staff, great food, very good atmosphere. I will do a repeat visit soon. They are lucky to have the BNL reside in their small town!

Friends took us their for brunch. We were the first ones in there that day. Lots of art on the walls. The gentleman was very polite and nice. The food takes a bit to get to you but that is what you get for cooked to order. Nothing pre cooked. I had the cinnamon roll pancakes. Everything came with 3 three eggs cooked as you like and a side. Everything was delicious! The pancake was HUGE! My friends had the funnel cake french toast and they said it was good. It looked so thick. Great place all around.

Our server was nice. I love that this is a BLACK-owned business. I appreciate the waiting area with books and a chess set. Gave our children something to do. I understand how hard it is for Black establishments to get the loans needed to have really nice buildings and such, but this place was a little more of a dive than I would've liked for it to be. Simple upgrades to the tables, chairs, and fixtures would go a long way. The place could also use a deep cleaning. That said, the food was decent. The potatoes were burnt as was the bottom of my daughter's pancake. The turkey bacon was also pretty overdone. My husband said his chicken was OK after he added salt, pepper, and hot sauce. I thought the grits were REALLY good and the eggs were fresh.

I noticed the head chef (owner maybe?) made a point to stop by and check on patrons. I thought that was nice even though he didn't acknowledge anyone at our table. Overall, I give the place a B -.

Fun hole in the wall with home-cooked meal vibes. Couldn't of asked for a better breakfast and the service was fantastic! We are from California and this was just what we needed and a great change of pace.

The owner is absolutely amazing and his energy follows. The food and atmosphere is so calming and energetic at the same time. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE PANCAKES WIT DA EDGES AND THE FALL APART SALMON WITH THE TREMENDOUS FLAVOR!! We will absolutely be back as regulars! 10/10 recommended!
