Open for about a month and a half just off the corner of 13th and Christian, Williams Café is serving tremendously well-priced homestyle grub, including one of the more killer breakfasts I’ve had in a minute. The restaurant (816 S. 13th St., 215-545-7555), which replaced a Middle Eastern spot called Karibu, is run by brothers Jonathan and Barry Williams (pictured L-R), along with their mother, sister and other family members.

The menu (check it below) keeps it simple, with any-style eggs, hot cakes, French toast, creamed chipped beef, omelettes and other morning-time options. For lunch, you’ve got platters, salads and an assortment of classic sandwiches. The section that caught my bleary eye in the A.M., though, was “Breakfast From the Sea” — this morning, I grabbed a so-tasty order of fried flounder with grits and toast ($5.50) and a black coffee (80 cents). Barry says that this item, in addition to their salmon cakes with grits, is flying the fastest so far. For that amount of food at that price, it’s easy to see why.

Right now, they’re open Mon.-Sat. from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., but Barry says they’ll begin serving dinner (the menu’ll be soul food-driven, but will also feature vegetarian options) on or around March 16.
