This is a perfect casual brunch spot with a comfy, inviting atmosphere. The food is always delicious and served quick and fresh. They're lucky to have someone as talented as Chef Greene behind the scenes! Today we had the chicken and sugar waffles with the fireball butter. The chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside and the waffles were fluffy with a hint of crunch from the sugar. Absolutely delightful!

Headed to Columbus and decided to stop in. Delicious! Fireball butter a must try, it was delicious. We had corned beef with potatoes and eggs! Very good. The waffles were the best waffles I’ve ever tasted. Fast friendly service. I will be going back!!

Two hungry Realtors® on a Sunday mission—putting up new listing signs in Wilmington, OH—and the clock said 2:30 PM. With the restaurant set to close at 3:00 PM ⏰, we called ahead, not wanting to impose. To our surprise, we were warmly welcomed and invited in with no hesitation. That hospitality alone earned a smile! 😊 Yes, it looked like we arrived right after a busy brunch rush—tables needed a wipe, floors had seen some traffic—but honestly, we get it. It was the tail end of service and the crew was still running full steam. The atmosphere? Let’s say it’s more “function over flair” (think: styrofoam cup vibes 😅)—but the staff were friendly, and the menu had enough great options to keep us seated. 🥙 I went for the Chicken BLT wrap — hearty and satisfying. 🐖 My husband grabbed the pork s

Had a great lunch passing through Wilmington . My husband loved his chicken and waffles with fireball sauce . He said best he has had!! I had the Cheeseburger and onion straws that hit the spot! Our waitress was very personable . Great place that we will be returning to when passing thru Wilmington .

I hear this gem is brought to you by the great minds behind the 73 Grill. Breakfast and Brunch! Yes please. The restaurant brought back life to a favorite location that recently closed. Gotta love new places to eat. It's amazing. Be patient. Go try it! Support local.
