Just being lazy and Yelp-ing for breakfast/brunch around the airport:

left to my own devices I'd pick some place near the museum, like

or, a place called "Airport view" seems like a natural

any of the locals have opinions on these or other places nearby?

Leaving Saturday afternoon/evening and Sunday morning as unscheduled time for people to explore whatever in the area on their own.

Sunday afternoon was planning on possibly visiting Sweetwater (I also hear good things about Monday Night and Red Brick brewing but the former appears not to be open on Sunday).

Possibly an attempt at a coordinated dinner one or both of Saturday/Sunday as well.
Not a fan of Airport View. Not bad, just not good.

BBQ kitchen is awesome, but I don't remember ever eating breakfast there. Meatloaf is off the charts (but they don't have it every day). Smoked chicken is awesome (every day). But whatever you get I can promise you won't leave hungry. If you like fancy, this is not your place. If you like to pig out, this is your place. No booze.

If it is DL nostalgia you want, the Dwarf House is the original Chik-Fil-A and has menu items that are not on the normal menu. Ron Allen ate breakfast there every day for 20 years. If not for DL employees at the DH, it is not likely that CFA would have ever gone anywhere.
