Wakin' Bakin' in Mid-City fits the bill for a casual, family-friendly breakfast option with outdoor dining.
What I ordered: Sourdough King breakfast sandwich ($16) with Cajun smashed hash.
- The sandwich had bacon, eggs, spinach, tomatoes, cheese and avocados with a delicious roasted garlic aoli.
- The hash was Creole-spiced boiled potatoes that are smashed, fried and then spiced again. I loved this crispy side.
If you go: Wakin' Bakin' has locations in Mid-City and the French Quarter.
- The venue is tiny, so be prepared to wait for a table and for your food.
The vibe: The restaurant's outdoor picnic tables were filled with families and friends on the day I ate at the Mid-City location. We were all enjoying the gorgeous patio weather.
- There was a constant stream of people picking up take-out orders, too.
