Stopped in for Sunday brunch during peak hours. We were told 40 minutes but it wound up being 25 which was a great surprise. Yes, it can get crowded but worth it! We started with Bloody Mary’s, old bay seasoning you should definitely try, and the Sticky Chicken Waffle Cone. Breaded chicken thigh nuggets in a Nashville heat sauce in a waffle cone drizzled with doughnut glaze. Dam good sweet heat mix! The wife enjoyed the classic benedict and I had the meatloaf sandwich. That meatloaf sandwich was bacon wrapped meatloaf, mashed potatoes with spicy tomato chutney on toasted sourdough! That thing was like a taste of home! Service was prompt and really friendly! Overall it was a great experience. Recommend you stop in!

Breakfast items from.ths menu were delicious. The chicken sandwich in the lunch menu was too oily and chicken was not tasting good. Service was good. They personally text your phone number when the reservation is ready. Place is a little crowded and the tables are too near to each other

Today I stopped in for Brunch, grabbed a seat at the bar which was cozy and busy. Josh greeted me promptly with a menu and water, while I browsed the menu. This location was hopping for sure. Josh does an amazing job multitasking and is definitely a whole vibe as I watched him interact with a group that I can assume are regulars and even us new faces. I ordered the chicken and waffles based off of multiple recommendations; I requested the gravy in the side. This choice did not disappoint at all! The chicken thigh was on point; crispy and still juicy. The sausage gravy was actually a delight to my surprise. I love how you candy the bacon, it has a hint of cinnamon I believe. I love grits so I settled on trying out the cheese grits as well. To be fair I never find cheese grits locally that I like. These needed seasoning and i'm not sure how to feel about the cheese sauce on top. Aside from the grits everything was wonderful and neighboring plates all looked great. I will be back to try other dishes in the future. I also appreciated the TV at the bar having subtitles on, extra points for having Season 3 of The Bear on this morning.

The goat cheese balsamic steak bites, blueberry mojito, & the salted caramel coffee were delicious! Music Bingo night was a blast

Really good food!!! You can sit outside as well. Such great weather yesterday, thought about eating outside. Great drink specials and flights. Not many vegetarian options for dinner. Salad, avocado toast salad, was an option I was going to have until I saw chef special French toast yummy!!!!

Kayla L was great this morning taking care of our 9am seven top! Food was great. Really enjoyed the Benedict Flight! The chicken and waffles with the bourbon syrup are always, always a hit. I really enjoy the vibe of their cuisine and will definitely be returning.

I was visiting my niece, and this is her favorite restaurant. I can see why! I ordered an indulgent beverage and a salad with goat cheese. The beverage was delicious! (Also shown is the beverage my niece ordered.) At first, I was disappointed because I didn't think the salad had enough goat cheese (see photo), but when I was eating it, I realized that it was exactly the right proportion. It was a delicious salad, and I highly recommend it. I didn't use the dressing because the salad stood on its own. Very tasty!
