Smh what can I say food was okay very disappointed how it was presented, I got a steak skillet told them to put the eggs on the side, they put them in a cup. I also got the shrimp & grits which was totally unacceptable for the price and didn’t taste like nothing but butter. The waffle was a waste of money and they have the nerve to only accept cashapp or zelle. Was my first and last time going to this restaurant. Jus look at the picture totally unacceptable for a restaurant

I’m not sure who they had in the kitchen today but send them home !!! I had scraps for potatoes and they didn’t taste cooked through & why is there onion or garlic powder in my egggs ??!!! I really want to rate this a zero 😒 because the French toast wasn’t even good enough to finish I am disgusted no lie.!

Would never dine in this establishment again. The pictures on the menu are very deceiving! The shrimp and grits I couldn’t believe it. It was literally grits with butter and sautéed shrimp on top. No seasoning just parsley and butter. Couldn’t believe it. The steak skillet was a no. The steak meat was ground so small you would think it was ground beef. I didn’t like the flavor, the cheese was not melted which told me it isn’t fresh. I asked for my eggs on the side and the put them in a drinking cup. Not only did they come in a cup they were super runny. Waffle was good but very thin to be a Belgian waffle.

I was looking for a breakfast restaurant in the area and I stumbled across this one after being so undecided and driving in circles. I was a little skeptical, but I thought I’d just give it a shot. I am so glad I stopped by here. I’ll try the catfish, grits, French toast, and eggs… this was the best I’ve had in quite a bit of time. This place is better than a lot of big chain restaurants. I’m talking about Doodably delicious!!!EVERYTHING!! A1. Sorry I didn’t think to get up before picture but the appearance and everything was great start! I will be back! The waiter was so courteous and accommodating. I really appreciate the service.
