This is the one place we go for breakfast like clock work every three months due to Drs visit up the road. Undoubtedly the best place for breakfast. Try anything, it's good. Wife had meatloaf once for breakfast..Dietary restrictions: Gluten free menu is a plus.

Disappointing mostly because of the service. The waiter was nice at first until he took our order. He rushed around and never checked up on us, did not allow us to order dessert (as he was never there), never asked how things were, and took forever to bring the tab. He topped off the water only once. He also tried to take my boyfriend's plate with fries still on it without asking if he was done. It was like a seagull snatching your food at the beach... A quick fly by without a word and your food disappears.A few minutes later, once we were done with the fries the waiter tried to steal, another lady came by to bus the table. This was at least 15 minutes before the waiter finally noticed we were ready to leave. I was irked because we wanted to leave to see the sunset and it was getting very close. If you're going to disappear at least give customers an alternate way to pay themselves so they can leave.Another thing to note is that I had a coupon and I tried to tell him once he reappeared but he ran away so fast after flying by saying he would get our bill. I called very loudly after him to try to stop him but I have a feeling he heard but was purposely not stopping. He looked annoyed when I told him once he came back. But if he had taken thirty extra seconds to stop and ask us how things were, or even pause to listen to us, he wouldn't have had an issue. Either way we never actually saw a receipt with prices as we were only brought the credit card signature slips. We were unable to check accuracy of the bill. I don't know how much we were charged for the shrimp and grits as there are two prices on the menu but I was told there was "only one size" when ordering. Which one is anyone's guess.Due to poor service I could see why at 6:30 there were only about 3 or 4 tables occupied. It seems like they're just trying to turn over tables as fast as possible to eliminate work or something. I don't understand it as if we had been able to order dessert, there would have been a bigger tip.A random thing to mention is that I quickly noticed the booth we were seated at was in disrepair. The seat was broken off from the wall and was eventually going to collapse.As for the positives, the food was pretty good. I got the shrimp and grits and my boyfriend ordered the chicken tenders. The fried food was so hot we couldn't eat it right away. I would say that the tenders were darker brown than they probably should have been, as in they might have been a few minutes overcooked or the oil already had something burnt in it. The breading was very salty. The fries were good, though.The shrimp and grits were approaching hot but not hot as if they were freshly prepared. I noticed the grits on top were very runny like a thin soup and as I got to the bottom of the bowl, the "skin" of the pre cooked pan of grits was there. As in it was very thick and congealed. Since I've made cheesy grits myself, I know this is a sign that it's been sitting on a steam table in a pan for quite a while. Nevertheless the flavor was good and the nice plump shrimp was a plus. If I were to go back, which I wouldn't due to the service issues, I would still order it again. So at least there's that.In conclusion, if you're willing to put up with bad rushed service, it's ok to go here.

Met a friend for breakfast and it was fantastic! Had the chicken benedict and a "side" of biscuits and gravy which could have been an entre for most normal people. Gravy actually had flavor and huge chunks of sausage, not just salty paste like many places serve. Will definitely be going back!

Food is good and we always order the chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits. Both the Food and the Service has dropped off the past year at this location. Still good but not top notch as it used to be.
