Customer Reviews
Went in for breakfast and asked about ordering gravy biscuits with fries instead of home fries and was told they wouldn't make them because it was breakfast only. We placed our order and then the waitress came back and told us she convinced the cook to make me fries but she wasn't happy about it. Biscuits were ok. Ham was too salty and potatoes were greasy. Overall food was okay. I might go back, but not my first choice.
Strike three! Never going back. Went for breakfast yesterday and for 3rd time in a row it was a joke. First, young guy seated me at the bar and commenced to roll silverware with an attitude like somebody shot his puppy. Then apparently never sought to find a server to take my order as I sat there for the next 25 mins until one of the servers finally asked me if somebody was taking care of me after all servers walked past me multiple times. One of which came back to sip her drink which was under the counter right in front of me. Then another group of three not only got their food but ate it and readying to leave before my food came another 21 mins later. And NO the place was only 50% seated during this entire time. Then when checking out with my server has the gall to ask if everything was
There wasn't too many customers, mostly elderly people. The people who take your orders are really friendly. I ordered the shrimps and grits, it looked great and smelled great but it taste bland. They gave me more seasoning in a small cup and that helped but I ended up getting a shrimp shell in my food, I didn't let anyone know because I already felt like I bothered them enough. This is a nice place to go when you want breakfast!
Stopped by with a group for a quick breakfast. We ordered biscuits which were tasty, soft, and delicious. Prices were decent. The options include sausage, ham, bacon, fried chicken, egg, and cheese. They also sell other delicious breakfast and non breakfast items. The server/staff member was friendly and helpful and the service was fast (given we were in a bit of a rush). Street parking available near the cafe.
My husband and I just moved to NC and were looking for good places to eat. Saw the reviews were good for this place but we were very disappointed. I’ve found the water in NC not to be so tasty so I asked for a lemon but waitress said they don’t carry lemons. What do they do for the ice tea then? Anyway not that big of a deal. Proceeded to order and I wanted a biscuit but according to the waitress they were NOT out of biscuits and even though menu said I could purchase one for 2.99 she said they were NOT selling them today and I could not have one unless I purchased one of two specific menu items. I did not purchase one of those menu items but my husband did. When the food came out he had 1/2 of a biscuit. What? Also I asked to sub my country ham for bacon and I was charged for a whole side
