This is a wonderful spot. Early bird is a tremendous name, because here the early bird definitely does get the worm. Which is a good parking spot 🤣 i took my wife and oldest daughter out and had an excellent time. We got as an appetizer, chicken and waffles entree. It included homemade honey mustard sauce which was unbelievable. I got the special which was shrimp and grits with black and chicken. My daughter got the patty melt and my wife got an omelet and all of them were excellent. I wouldn't only recommend this place, I would say if you haven't gone here, You're missing an unbelievable meal. Sorry, no photos. It all went down quickly.

Been here many times. The last several times the food and service have both been subpar. Had hoped it was just an off day, but just seems to be consistent now. Our waiter went to all the tables behind us multiple times over us. Even if we asked for something he would still go to one or two other tables before coming to ours. Was seated today without silverware for a long time and when we asked for it he still took forever. Asked for a refill on tea and almost choked on pancakes before he brought it. Pancakes had a hair in them that I found right after I paid and was going to say something when he brought the to-go drink for me...which 10 minutes later I left because we never got it. Biscuits and gravy tasted like onions and left a horrible after taste. The prices on the menu are not compar

Nice little breakfast joint. I had the egg breakfast with sourdough bread. My husband had the everything biscuit with fried green tomatoes. We both enjoyed our breakfasts. Small parking lot.

Good diner spot. Chicken and waffle was great. Home fries were seasoned really well. Definitely get some of the pepper gravy! We were lucky and didn't have to wait, but I can see where they fill up quick! Oh and the Humble Hot Sauce on the table was amazing!

What a great place. Adrianne the bartender was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. The country fried steak breakfast was delicious but the main attraction was the Bloody Mary’s
