Why Kingston keeps coming back
Morrison's has held the same corner of King Street since 1921, when a Scottish family opened a counter across from the market. The vinyl booths, the lunch counter, and the 1960s marquee out front have watched downtown change around them. The breakfast has not.
Reviewers keep coming back to the same few things: fair prices, a room that feels lived-in, and staff who remember the regulars. Across a century, local legends and a few touring bands have slid into these booths too. Order the eggs, refill the coffee, and stay a while.
