Additionally, the all-American restaurant is ringing in 2016 with New Year’s Day brunch. On Friday, January 1, delectable brunch offerings will be available including Brunch Ham & Cheese topped with a fried egg, served with Jack cheese, Virginia ham, Alfredo sauce, and Texas toast; Jalapeño Egg Burger with fried egg, cheddar, bacon, spicy chipotle sauce, pickled jalapeños, and signature handcut fries; and Bananas Foster Crunchy French Toast topped with pecans.
