★★★★☆ 4.0 Anthony Muniz · Mar 2026

I recently enjoyed the sausage gravy with biscuits. The homemade gravy was excellent, characterized by its ideal consistency and superb seasoning. The biscuits were notably fresh and light. The grits offered a delightful smoky flavor, which I surmise was derived from smoked gouda. They were savory and well-seasoned, arriving at a pleasantly warm temperature. The potatoes were generously portioned, also warm, and expertly seasoned. The coffee was served in a substantial cup and was freshly brewed. The service was exceptional, warranting a five-star rating. I am eager to explore the lunch menu in due course. This establishment is certainly worth a visit.

Great little place in Milton, Delaware. Good menu variety and fantastic food in a contemporary casual atmosphere. The service is outstanding and food is on point. Five stars all day long!!

I wish we had taken pictures of any of our meals! Stopped here on a whim and there were no regrets. The only thing that I would change would be making the sausage gravy a little bit thicker, but the flavor was outstanding. Our party got the Big Breakfast BLT, Spicy Cow Burrito and Two and A Half- all of them were outstanding. My partner tried the Shark Bait and said it was great, I had the oat milk latte and it hit the spot. The service was great, the staff were incredibly friendly and the restaurant itself was very spacious and bright. We are already looking forward to returning.

Came in for brunch and it didn't lack !!! Kids' menu was impressive and the service was great. Their homemade honey mustard was delicious. Waitresses were friendly, kind and welcoming. We didn't try their coffee, but their baked goods were DIVINE! Had the sooo nuts, caramel pretzel and and white chocolate pistachio cookies. We wish they had shipping options :)

This is absolutely my most favorite restaurant I have ever been to! The staff was amazing and kind, the coffee was perfectly smooth, and the food… the best I have ever had. ESPECIALLY the chicken tender gravy and biscuit meal. I was there about 2 months ago, and ever since I still cannot stop thinking about how tasty it was. Like nothing i’ve ever tried before. 10/10 would most definitely recommend!!!!
