For a taste of the country, venture just six miles northeast of downtown to Nate’s Garden Grill in City Heights. The casual eatery, located next to the surprisingly extensive City Farmers Nursery (stocked with goats, chickens, and plenty of plantables) serves weekend brunch with down-home favorites, like biscuits and gravy and pulled-pork hash.
The steak tacos, packed with scrambled eggs, salsa, and cheese are a must, thanks to the tender, grass-fed steak that’s grilled right on the patio. Pair it with a cup of Dark Horse coffee and the rotating lineup of live music, and you’re in brunch bliss.
