Reviews

Service was fast and friendly.
Definitely would return based on the service alone.
Katie was so sweet.
The food was good enough.
The bacon was average (not bad though, just your typical diner bacon), the grits and breakfast potatoes were pretty good, and the biscuit and pancakes were really good.
The pancakes were my favorite; crispy edges and fluffy center.
So good! The omelet left a lot to be desired.
It lacked flavor and was overcooked, so the eggs were kind of rubbery.
The mimosa flight was pretty, but only 2 of the flavors (blueberry lavender and watermelon pomegranate) actually tasted like the names.
The other two (blue orange and pineapple peach) just tasted like sparkling wine.
The estaurant is your typical diner atmosphere with a bar added.
It was clean, but you could tell it's been well used and receives lots of TLC.
Definitely a decent choice for breakfast when you're in town and on the go.

We're so glad you enjoyed our fast and friendly service, and that our pancakes were a hit, Danielle! Thank you so much for sharing a special shoutout for Katie! We also appreciate your feedback on the omelet and the mimosa flight, as it helps us to continually improve our offerings.
We can't wait to see you next time you're in town!

Landon was our server and was very nice.
I got the Migas and half and half tea.
My son got the 3 pigs omelet and breakfast potatoes.
My husband got the southern breakfast platter, peaches and cream French toast, and coffee.
It was good.
The only thing I disliked is that the baby changing table is out in the open in the bathroom.
I like it when it's in an individual stall.

Thank you so much for joining us for brunch, Sarah! We love knowing Landon took great care of you and your family, and the food hit the spot! Sounds like we won you over to the sunny side! We've shared your feedback with our krewe and hope you'll brunch it up with us again soon!

Warm inviting decor with comfortable bar.
Coffee was hot with just the right amount of bold richness.
I ordered the Trifecta, and it was delicious! Was surprised it was as quiet as it was on Saturday morning.
Staff said Sunday is BUSY all day, so if you want a great breakfast/brunch without the huge crowd, try to slide in before 9:30 or 10 on Saturday.
It was just starting to pick up when I finished at about 9am.
Jess, the manager and Allyson my server were great.
I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!
