Customer Reviews
This is a very busy restaurant. We were able to get the last of the inside seating. There are a few tables outside. The service was a little slow, but the two waitresses were hustling. The blueberry pancakes were awesome and definitely worth the wait. Everybody in my party enjoyed the quality of the food. The restaurant was clean and tables were being cleared quickly for waiting customers.
Good atmosphere, lots of space, and a local business. However, I cannot recommend it as a local, although I am rooting for them as a neighborhood staple. The menu is not reasonably priced for their main items and portions, especially breakfast. Nothing in the menu stands out and no specific item makes me come back here just for that. For example: veggie omelette has mushroom, onion, and 3-4 spinach leaf in it with some cheese on top and potato wedges on the side. It's tiny and that's it. No unique sauce. Biscuits are small and several menu items are highly priced with the protein (i.e. a sausage) being an added cost +$3. Their hashbrown plate with sausage gravy (no sausages/patties) is $17. Ignoring price, food was cold, no sauces/toppings unless you ask (ketchup and salt/pepper I guess),
Our group was 5 adults and 2 toddlers so we understand we are a larger party so we aimed for our arrival to be after the brunch rush. When we arrived they said they needed to get a table ready for us. Understandable. We stood outside for 20 minutes with waitstaff coming in and out the entire time. A group of 5 walked in and was immediately sat so we decided to ask for an update on our table. The staff said our table had been ready, but no one decided to tell us? They saw us standing at the door. We get sat and a literal 11 year old (we asked) started taking our order. Nothing against his age but it was very obvious he didn’t know what he was doing. He took our drink orders and by the time he came back we were ready to order our food. He said he needed to go take someone else’s drink order
Delicious food! The french toast with fried apples is perfection, not too sweet! The grits are so good! Home fries are cooked just right! Biscuit is fluffy and moist. Overall fresh homemade food! Highly recommend!
I honestly hate leaving a bad review but our experience was that bad! I am hoping an honest review might help see that they have to do something different. Five of us went in looking forward to a late breakfast not knowing it would be after lunch time before we got anything. It was literally 1 hour, 25 minutes, before we got our food, well before we started getting our food… one plate at a time. Two had French toast and side of eggs and sausage. After asking if we would get any food soon they brought the toast and eggs out completely cold, but being so hungry they ate anyway. After they finished theirs, they brought some of the other plates out. When we were just finishing ours they brought the sausage to the guys that had the cold French toast! After waiting over 40 minutes we went and
