The Loveless Cafe • 1951

Lon and Annie Loveless started serving fried chicken and scratch-made biscuits from their Highway 100 motel in 1951, and their reputation for Southern breakfast has drawn over half a million visitors annually ever since. The biscuits—still made by hand throughout the day—come with house-made preserves and pair with country ham and red-eye gravy that have earned national acclaim. Expect a wait, especially on weekends, but the warm biscuits pulled fresh from the oven make it worth every minute.
