★★★★☆ 4.0 Rozay Bush · Mar 2026

I went based on reviews. Wait time maybe 35 minutes around 1245 on a Sunday. Service was good gratitity is automatically 20% plus a 2% care team fee. I ordered the Bearcat breakfast with pancakes. Eggs potatoes bacon and pancakes.. basic breakfast. It was decent nothing special the potatoes were tossed and roasted in rosemary or thyme. They were good. My son ordered the banana foster pancakes he appeared to enjoy them. They were topped with pecans and of course a banana cream butter and syrup concoction. My sister order the burger it looked good. Two meat patties lettuce tomatoes cheese on a bun but not a regular non l bun! Also served with those special potatoes. Overall decent experience.

We went to this location for my brother's birthday and it was phenomenal. Our server was incredibly kind and helpful, the service was quick, the food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. We were also gifted a free bottle of fresh orange juice that was delicious. The *only* complaint I have is that the wait was pretty long and the bench they had outside for seated waiting was wet and they didn't offer any towels or anything to wipe it down so people could sit.

We sat outside. The menu is great and our server was great. I would suggest if you want multi items I would split. We ordered the crab dip.. wonderful! Blueberry pancakes, salmon, crayfish gravy biscuit, crab omelet, cat mamma, scallops and oyster grits. And the drinks were great.. fresh squeeze juice mimosas!

A friend recommended we come here and glad we did! A parking lot is on the corner. You sign in at the kiosk outside the front door and wait to be called in for your table. Waitstaff was friendly and helpful. The sausage is bison, eggs are cooked to order, and pancakes were light and fluffy, mine had the addition of blue berries. Great experience.

Incredible vegan menu with some of the best pancakes I’ve had in my life vegan or not! We also have a vegan quesadilla, vegan chicken sandwich and cauliflower. It was all amazing
