Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're heading to a show at Riverbend or the Andrew J Brady Music Center, 6 'N The Mornin' makes for a perfect pre-show fuel-up spot.

What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the generous portions, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. Locals and visitors alike rave about the chicken sausage and the perfectly seasoned potatoes. The staff get frequent shout-outs for being warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is often described as “cool” and “unpretentious.” Several reviewers mention it as a “hidden gem” that’s worth the short drive from downtown.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests leave full and happy, a few note that weekend wait times can get a bit long due to its growing popularity. Seating is limited, so you might find yourself waiting for a table during peak brunch hours. Also, note that this spot closes by mid-afternoon—so it’s not the place for a late-night post-show meal.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for amazing breakfast food in a relaxed setting just minutes from the music scene, 6 'N The Mornin' delivers every time.
