Our Take

Tarpy's Roadhouse has a loyal eggs Benedict following for good reason — the floral outdoor patio and stone-walled setting give it a character that most brunch spots don't come close to. With over 2,000 ratings behind it, this is a proven local favorite that consistently delivers on its reputation.
