Food was delicious. There were plenty of open tables so no wait to be seated. The waitress was knowledgeable of the menu and was helpful when we had questions about the food. I had the Freebird sandwich and it was perfection. Fries were crispy and not too salty. Pimento cheese has a small kick to it so if spice is your thing you will enjoy it.

Very good BLT. They use a garlic-based mayonnaise that is delicious. The potatoes had some sort of seasoning that made them extra yummy. I live an hour away, but this is my new breakfast spot when I’m in town.

It’s not bad but their portions are small for the prices that they’re charging. I basically had to order two dishes LOL I don’t like when they put a twist in a classic and don’t warn about it: they put chili powder on my hollandaise and it wasn’t in the menu. We really liked their breakfast potatoes but service could have been faster and the place is cold; bring a sweater 😉

Loved it. Food was wonderful. Best fries and BBQ sandwich I ever had. Prices are about right for whatcha get. Loved the atmosphere. Service was average. Bathrooms, both unisex needed a little attention on our visit.

Referred to try from a couple friends.. I would definitely not recommend to anyone else.. the food looks great but definitely did not taste as good as it looked.. service was fairly slow with only about 10 people in the entire restaurant.. definitely did not live up to the hype..

I was ecstatic to find that they offer gluten free buns here, although it wasn’t on the menu. It completely changed the way I viewed the menu! I mentioned I have celiac and my server was very knowledgeable to my needs. Not a dedicated fryer, so I skipped the potatoes and subbed with fruit. Super tasty food, fantastic service and a wonderful atmosphere. I will certainly be recommending!

Today was my 2nd time ordering here. The food is A1 tremendously good but portions seem small for price point. The customer service on the other hand needs improvement. First time i ordered i get home to see that they forgot my potatoes which came with my meal. Today i get home to see that they did not put my tomato’s in my scrambled eggs which is clearly on my receipt. They have to do better in giving customer what they asked for and paid for.

Went for our first breakfast and will definitely be bsck! Eggs were cooked exactly as requested and the omelette was particularly good. Highly recommend the breakfast potatoes! Coffee is very good too.

Terrible service minus the nice bartender. Ordered a pickup order of chicken and waffles and yogurt and granola. They tried to give us oatmeal instead of yogurt and granola. When we pointed out the mistake they corrected it while also taking back the oatmeal (a restaurant should never take back food ) after the nice bartender had already told us to keep it (obviously because otherwise its just thrown out). They also still made us wait for them to change the price on our ticket (waiting is the one thing your trying not to do when you order something for pick up). This would all be completely fine if the woman taking care of our ticket had any sort of friendliness or customer care attitude, but her lack of care just amplified how annoying it all was. The chicken and waffles had a tiny piece of chicken it was laughable. Sooo dry and tasteless, ive gotten better chicken a chick fila, and they didnt include syrup to go. And a nine dollar blob of plain yogurt sprinkled with granola and a few strawberry slices is pretty sad. Just disappointed and not our moneys worth in any way.
