There are only a handful of places to get something to eat after the bars have closed, such as Honeycourt, the 5-Point, Denny's, and also this place, the Hurricane, to name a few. This is your standard greasy-spoon fare. You'll find comfort foods such as heaping mounds of mashed potatoes and gravy, bottomless hash browns that are greasy yet delicious, and omelettes that come from small to a dozen eggs in size. I've always enjoyed omelettes here. I'll typically eat at the 5-Point when I'm looking for the greasy-spoon meal, but if I want an omelette, I'll come to the Hurricane. They used to be a smoker's paradise back in the day and there was a non-smoking room in the back, forcing non-smokers to walk through the smoky haze to get to their tables. Now with the smoking ban in effect, there's no worries about all of the second-hand smoke and leaving smelling like an ashtray. This place is gritty and a real dive-diner. Tattoos and piercings are welcome and often prolific among the crowds and employees. Overall, it's a decent place to grab a bite, sit and nurse a cup of coffee over long conversations, and grease up your insides.
Pros: Open all hours, parking is plentiful,
Cons: Waitstaff is a bit gruff, you have to get used to it.
