Immaculate food. About an hour wait for a Sunday brunch but the wait was worth it. Service was great. Portion sizes were quite large. Hope to visit again soon!

We stopped in here on a Sunday and it was moderately busy. Prices are a little high for breakfast but the caliber of food and service are also higher than typical "breakfast spots". I got an iced latte and the salmon Benedict. My husband got an omelette with a biscuit and gravy. Both of our meals were very good. Fresh and well presented. The service was phenomenal as well. Our server was attentive and friendly.

There were sixteen in our group. We agreed to sit in groups of four at booths. The restaurant serves mainly breakfast, brunch with a few things a hamburger and BLT on the menu. We were waited on quickly. I ordered a BLT and fries. I was very pleased with my BLT, as there was lots of bacon on it. The fries were not as impressive, imagine a potato wedge size sliced very thin. This would never become problem though because they offer lots of choices of sides: hash browns, pintos, grits, etc. Good service, we were even offered “to go” cups! A 20% gratuity was added to our check.

Swung in for lunch. Had a breakfast burrito with chorizo and a waffle. The burrito was plenty big and was full of flavor. The Verde sauce almost overpowered the other flavors, but was OK. The waffle was fantastic. It almost tasted like there was a little cinnamon or something in the waffle batter. Really good. I sat in the bar area and the service was great. It got pretty busy and the bartender/server did a great job keeping up and staying friendly.

Wifey and I came here for brunch and everything was delicious, she ordered hot chicken 🐔 sandwich 🥪 and it was tasty 😋. Grits are stone ground which was tasty, pancake had a nice crunch outside and soft inside, hash browns had a little spice and kick to them. All around good food 😋. Would recommend
