Tips
- my favorite place in the city. Here's what you need to do. 1) order the shrimp + grits (wow!), 2) order the La Chouffe beer (seasonal and awesome), 3) build a biscuit (bacon + pepperjack). Game over!
- Peels' biscuits are an abomination. Their enduring popularity is offensive to my Southern sensibilities. A friend and colleague put it best when he said they are "fit for yankees".
- They serve Sir Kensington's ketchup! Ain't no Heinz here fool!!
- The view from upstairs is great, if you get the choice find a cozy booth up there
- They just added fish tacos to the menu and they're the cat's pajamas. Seriously. Order them.

- Try the Sweet Potato Pie
- Build-a-Biscuit, I dare ya!
- Don't even think about saying "no" to the biscuits. Don't.
- It's not worth $18, but the baja salad with tomato, avocado, cotija cheese, and grilled skirt steak is unbelievably tasty and vaguely healthy.
- Sit upstairs - super nice !
- Get a Peels muffin. Buckwheat & lemon marmalade with rosemary. It may seem weird at first, but just go with it. You won't regret it.
- Get the gobblecado - its a great lunch sandwich with awesome spicy chips
- Try the bloody mary: comes with either a lemon, lime, or olive. Top 3 in the area.
- Go splitty splitty with a pal - Gobblecado and grass fed burger. Do it!
- try a biscuit and a coffee for a great afternoon snack + pick-me-up. get the amazing jelly on the side.
- For dinner, get the pork loin w/ sweet potato mash & crabapple compote (as the server said, "It's Fall on a plate") or the lamb shank w/ stewed beans. Wash down with complimentary sparkling water.
- The baked goods are the standout here, like the $3 fluffy biscuits, which you can stuff with scrambled eggs and melted pepper-jack cheese. Featured in Where to Eat 2011!
- Peels is all about the iced coffee. It's cold-brewed and some of the most delicious in the neighborhood.
- We love the signature Peels Muffin. It blends rosemary with nutty buckwheat, and finishes with the zesty flavor of preserved lemons.
