A Lifelong Favorite — Hoping for a Return to the Originals I’ve been coming to Dragonfly Café since I was 16 years old (I’m now 30), and it’s always been my absolute favorite restaurant. I’ve followed it through at least three different locations over the years. When I joined the Army, my family even packed up tacos and drove them all the way to South Carolina for my graduation. That’s how much this place means to me. Every time I come home, it’s the one stop I make without fail. It’s not just food—it’s tradition, nostalgia, and love wrapped into every bite. But on this last visit, I noticed some changes to the recipes, and honestly, they were hard to ignore. This isn’t a complaint—it’s a request, from someone who deeply loves this place—to bring back the originals. The magic has always been in the details, and it felt like some of that was missing. That said, the oyster French toast remains hands-down the best thing on the menu. It’s iconic, unique, and perfectly Dragonfly. I’ll continue to support this restaurant with all my heart—it’s meant so much to me over the years. I just hope it stays true to the flavors that made it unforgettable in the first place.
