“Outstanding breakfast before I left town to go back to Atl. I made sure I brought two cinnamon rolls home!”
“If you haven’t tried the “Fried chicken salad” you are truly missing out! I think it may be one of the best salad I’ve ever had! It’s loaded with crispy fried chicken breast. I just wish they would offer more varieties of salad dressing, maybe a poppy seed or honey mustard. Other than that, it’s definitely a must try. Delicious!”
“I loved it here. The line was out the door but it went fast and gave us time to look at the menu. The food came out fast too. I had the best cinnamon roll and avocado toast and coffee. Everything was reasonably priced and delicious. Will definitely be coming back to try the grits.”
“A modern and spacious place with delicious Southern flavors and an incredibly welcoming ambience. The beignet was warm and irresistibly fluffy, while the shrimp and grits were flavorful with a nice Cajun and garlic kick. For dessert, both the peanut butter cheesecake and the chocolate cookie were so yum. A lovely spot for enjoying Southern bites and either hanging out or getting some work done!”
“Order at the front and get seated. Not super busy and good interior seating. Food came out fast. Quantity is okay, but food all tasted good.”
“Fabulous breakfast and pastries! I especially loved the three egg omelette, I got it with egg whites and the little mushrooms were so delicious.”
“We enjoyed the beautiful decor of the restaurant and its nice atmosphere. We ordered shrimp, bacon, biscuits, deviled eggs and baguette. For drinks we had mimosas the regular oranges juice and pineapple which both were delicious. Also the electric lemonade and a mai tai. Everything was great and exciting.”
