I would give the food and service no stars if I could. First of all the use carton eggs! The server literally only seated us, brought us our food and drinks and that’s all. After that we didnt see him again until we called for him to bring the check. The food taste like air also!

Stopped in for a quick brunch in the middle of the day on a Thursday. Place was pretty empty with one server and she was great. Food turned out awesome as per usual.
Kid-friendliness: The place has options on the menu for kids. Music option may have some cursing (depending on what you are comfortable exposing your children to)

Solid 3 stars. One or two visits is probably enough.

Was excited to come here for the first time for my friend's birthday. We had a party of 7, and when we arrived at 11 it was relatively slow and chill, though there were several more tables filled by the time we left. The decor is cute and trendy, and definitely on point if you're the type to want to take cute selfies there as it is clearly encouraged. I recommend snagging a booth seat as the chairs are rather uncomfortable with no padding. All the drinks looked amazing. Some friends got coffee drinks, two of us got bottomless (mimosa for one and sangria for me.) I got tropical sangria and it tasted great! They were not very forthcoming with the refills despite not being particularly busy for most of our visit and we definitely needed to make sure we got them. My boyfriend got a regular coffee and at one point the waitress asked if he'd like another. He said yes but never got it. As far as the food, everything looked great aside from the overabundance of arugula as a garnish. Easy to remove, of course, or eat if you like arugula but I would debate that a heap of arugula, especially placed on top of the bun of an egg sandwich for example, is not a garnish. I got the classic eggs Benny and it was very tasty. Excellent hollandaise.The home fries had great flavor but were barely warm unfortunately. Still ate it and enjoyed nonetheless. Boyfriend also mentioned his food was lukewarm at best. I did notice a couple with two kids came in and left after about 20 minutes as they didn't receive service. I suppose I don't blame them, but the place had gotten decently more busy in that timeframe so patience is key. To be fair in this day and age most people probably take a good 10-20 minutes to look at the menu and be ready to order anyhow. All in all I did enjoy my food and drinks and will likely come back but I think more attentive service is in order for a place like this. Definitely need to take into account that they offer things like bottomless drinks that, according to the menu, should be refilled every 20 minutes and the fact that their presentation is over the top and so would take more time and effort to make (serving coffee on trays with stuff written in chocolate etc.) I'm not sure if the servers make the drinks or not. If so maybe a dedicated drink maker on hand would help. Maybe more severs on shift as it appeared there were only two plus a manager or owner who was greeting people at the door.

I would give this place 3 and half stars. The food was okay. The chicken had too much breading on it. The waffle was good, though. When I requested more syrup, it came out cold instead of warm.

The food was good except the eggs. They make them so thin and flaky. The outdoor seating was very uncomfortable. The ground is uneven so the chairs and table were wobbling or leaning.

Wait staff were beautiful and attentive. The food was pretty good. Was kicking myself for not getting a fancy ice coffee. They looked amazing. Now I'll have to go back. Decorated for couples to bring a date. Really cute inside

The Place 2 Be serves the best variety for brunch, Greek omelette, Chicken & waffles, dessert plus bottomless mimosas, neat fruit drinks. Fun place for friends to visit. Owner & Staff very attentive. Thank You.

Sad to experience this major decline of good food and community environment for this “trendy” spot. Besides the fact that what used to cost, maybe $16 now costs $25?! This used to be my goto for brunch and sadly, that was def my last time here. The fried chicken was fried with ALL the fat on it. The waffle was good but not good enough to save this way overpriced dish. Sad to know what used to be a weekly event is now like this. I’m not sure how they’re staying open in this neighborhood with prices like this!

Been a few times. Would mostly say its very over priced for everything. Food and drinks. Your playing for a showy item basically. But this last time, my server added the fruit I ordered with my waffle, into the batter, and it was sooo good! She was probably the best server I had there. In wish I could name do her here... too bad this location didn't pay taxes abd rent and will be closing.
