We had a good experience here today. The food was great. My biscuit and gravy plate was barley room temperature but was good. Our server was a little pushy. When we got our food we also got our bill. But whatever, I will definitely come back.

Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict: Picture #1 what I got, Picture #2 what I ordered from the website. Barbacoa inside quesadillas was very skimpy and so were the poached eggs.

The service was a bit slow but very friendly. They really didn’t bother us too much during the meal, which was good. The food was delicious, and I would go back. I would just suggest that if you are not a patient person, perhaps go somewhere else.

I really don’t like writing bad reviews but this was an absolute horrible experience here. I had brought out of town family with me for breakfast and we had plans after. They said it would be a 30-45 minute wait. After an hour we started asking as we saw empty tables everywhere with no one cleaning the tables. They did however have 2-3 hostesses doing pretty much nothing except standing around in the front. That was ridiculous. They had larger tables that could have been cleaned for our party of 8 but they chose to cram us in a booth. The waitress was nice at first. Half of us got our food, and half had to wait another 10-15 minutes. When we asked for utensils to eat with the waitress threw a pile of plastic wrapped forks in the center of the table. Most of the food was cold and one order never did go in. It was an hour and a half before we actually ate. By then there weren’t a lot of people left in the restaurant, so I don’t understand the bad service. I ordered the French toast special and when I actually got it, it looked nothing like the picture. We called a manager and he came to the table and instead of defusing the situation he made excuses. He did take $$ off our bill but the whole ordeal was a mess. Where is the real manager of this place, because ultimately they are at fault. They have no business being in the restaurant business in my opinion. And we were late for our event as well. I can not support a business like this, especially after we complained, they were all giving us dirty looks on our way out. One person in our party went to pay and she walked away before the transaction went through. He had to wave her down. He could have just walked out, but she came back rolling her eyes in irritation. No, I will never go back here on so many levels.

Breakfast was decent, but food was lukewarm at best. Service was absolutely horrendous. Took 45 minutes to get our food. Usual story they are shorthanded in the kitchen. The prices they charge, they should be able to pay their staff a little more. When we got the check they added everything a la carte for my bill because I ordered an extra egg to the traditional breakfast on the menu. So it was $7 more than it should have been. It is quite obvious this place needs someone who knows how to run a restaurant. Totally went downhill from when they first opened.

Had a mobile order . It’s said on the website that it will be ready by 8:29am. It’s 8:30am I walk in and it’s not ready !! There was 5 people inside eating. It wasn’t busy at all! I understand if they were busy but they weren’t busy. I asked about my order and I still had to wait an extra 13mins….. okay I get my food now and I check it … (look at the picture)I paid $14 for nothing and it was burnt AF. The one it MATTHEWS NC is better and they’re way nicer and they’ll have your order ready on time no matter how busy they are !!!

I’ve only been here once so far, but I honestly thought it was really good. I plan on coming back, for sure. Pleasantly surprised for a chain restaurant.

Delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. It took a little time for us to get a table due to our party size(6), but it was well worth the wait! The million dollar bacon is absolutely delightful, and the salmon frittata was delicious. Definitely recommend!
