Sonny Bry-
an's barbecue has been around in one form or another since 1910. Although the
main loca-

is obscurely located, this branch holds up the tradition well and is easily
the best dining option in the West End.

Start your day early with a fabulous breakfast, or chill on the shady patio at lunch-
time with some healthy, hearty fare. It has a playground plus on some nights it also has
live jazz.
Bread Winners

; 3301 McKinney Ave; mains $9-20; 7am-10pm; )
If sipping a peach
Bellini in a lush courtyard atrium is the reward for the agony of choosing what to order for
brunch, then bring on the pain. Lunch and dinner offer similar, though less tortuous,
conundrums. In a pinch, at least stop in for something decadent from the bakery.

Excellent seafood
in relaxed neighborhood surrounds. This restaurant not only does briney denizens well, it
does so with praiseworthy service. Casual yet attentive is a quality that never goes out of
style. Expect lots of lobster dishes.
