Since February 1st, Emma Keys in Lindley Park has been under new ownership. This trio of owners, James & Ruth Whack and Gene Bordinger, greeted us at the door when we went there for breakfast this past Sunday. We got a great breakfast - two generous slices of rye toast, two eggs and bacon- for less than $4. The only place in the Walker/Elam area offering a cooked-to-order breakfast, they also had fresh tomatoes from a vender at the Saturday market and fresh strawberries from Faucette Farms. Likely, what they get from the Saturday market will change; however, their interest in supporting local venders will not.
You can now eat your way around Lindley Park without leaving the Walker/Elam intersection-- breakfast at Emma Keys, plenty of options for lunch and dinner, Common Grounds for coffee and music at night, and Bestway for snacks all day. The new owners of Emma Keys are committed to being good neighbors and hope to be here to serve the community for a very long time. We don't know how long they can offer breakfast at those super-reasonable prices, but we encourage you to head over and welcome them. That, after all, would be the neighborly thing to do. By the way, ask Gene to play the Tish Hinojosa/Tex-Mex playlist, specially created because that's what we were in the mood to hear. If they aren't busy, they just might start a new playlist for you. Happy Tuesday, dear readers.
I like this place and the people look like good folks and the price is right! Can't believe you got all that for $4! That's an $8-9 breakfast around here!

Sounds like a good place for a bite to eat.
