Southern Benny: a poached egg and hollandaise over fried green tomatoes and bacon jam on a biscuit

The Southern Benny

A Benedict built on a biscuit instead of a muffin, stacked with fried green tomatoes and bacon jam under the egg and hollandaise.

Those fried green tomatoes also open the menu as a starter, in housemade batter with pimento cheese and bacon.

Two floors over Bull Creek

Anya and her husband came from Ukraine and spent years building restaurant careers before Mountain Breakfast became a reality. When they took on this two-story building over the creek, they renovated it themselves: built out the kitchen, finished the entire second floor, ran all new plumbing and electrical.

The doors opened May 6, 2026. Downstairs holds the neon-signed bar and a small patio over the water; upstairs is the green room, with balconies and mountain views. The Buckwheat Bowl on the menu is their nod to home.

“This is a beautiful space full of positive energy and ease.”
