Around since the Great Depression, this big, wood-paneled dining room heaving with hungry Texans for breakfast and lunch is a longtime down-home favorite. There's not an ounce of Paris in it save the name. (Or maybe it's referring to Paris, Texas.) Service is classic Southern hospitality. Breakfast is the star: Choose from awesome pancakes, omelets, grits, and biscuits and gravy (on weekdays you can get "red-eye gravy," made with coffee, cinnamon, and bacon grease). Lunch is such standard fare as sandwiches, plate lunches (with a choice of meats and vegetables for $7), and chili, though there are lunch specials such as enchiladas and ham steak -- and that famous red-eye gravy. Try the pies; in a place like this, you know they're good.
