Absolutely a must visit when visiting Aiken SC. Food and service was great , however being a first time visitor I was unaware of having to get my own silverware and drinks. There were no signs posted about self service and wasn’t till my meal arrived and I asked where my coffee was the waitress then kindly explained it to me. Other then that the restaurant was terrific

Amazing food it’s a little different than most restaurants as far as ordering but our breakfast was awesome. Love the downtown atmosphere!!!!! You will love it.

Food was good and well prepared but the cashier ignored us for the first 5 minutes of us waiting and then didn’t speak a word to us while we ordered. Which isn’t a huge deal but since this restaurant does things a little different when it come to drinks and silverware it would have been helpful as first time visitors to know how things worked.

What a beautiful, local experience. Hands down, this is the best restaurant with homey vibes in Aiken yet. This place feels nostalgic, I needed a place for inspiration so that I could write again and I found it here!

The food, staff and service here are all brag worthy! There’s a great menu for breakfast and lunch, and you can’t go wrong with any of the choices. They offer catering for your events as well as grab-and-go dinners for busy families with tight schedules in the evening. This family-owned business if one of Aiken’s many treasures!

This place has definitely declined in service!! First they got our order completely wrong. Then when I approached the girl at the front counter about her mistake she got RUDE! We finally got our food and the biscuits were dry and very chalky. And the “sweet” tea was not good either. Overall we had a very poor experience. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone unfortunately.

It was just an okay spot. A very diner feel to it. The fruit salad side was probably the best thing. Everything else; burgers, chili cheese tots, grilled chicken sandwich, cole slaw, was standard, nothing outstanding. The pimento cheese on The Shealy burger was interesting, in a good way.

Only had been open a week when went went. Nice set up. Young friendly adults. They didn’t have an drink menu so I didn’t know their house margarita was 10$ and top shelf is 11$. A bit pricey on some items.My catfish wasn’t cooked enough for me but would like to go back to try their dessert like red velvet cake, cheese cake and key lime pie.

Fabulous food! Coffee was really good, service was spot on and my eggs, bacon and grits were extra good! Really enjoyed my breakfast in a small town atmosphere.
