12:00 noon

Baker’s Square Restaurant
255 2nd St (at B St)

Saturdays at noon is a very busy time for them. They will reserve a table for 20 in the back room. However, others may have to share the other tables in that room. There is plenty of parking all around the building.

They serve breakfast all day with a cost of about $7. Sandwiches run from $8 to $10.
