Word on the street
What locals are saying
A woman-owned Park Circle institution since 2015, The Junction earns its loyal weekend line with anchors like the Buzzed Doughnut — stuffed with coffee-rubbed bacon and scrambled eggs — biscuits with sausage gravy, and pimento cheese grits that hold up to Southern scrutiny. The room is casual and LGBTQ+-welcoming, the staff reliably warm, and the sake Bloody Mary a quietly smart brunch move. Recurring friction points: portion sizes that some find modest for the price, kitchen pacing that can drag well past an hour on busy weekend mornings, and a parking lot that seats far fewer cars than the dining room fills.
