I have been looking for a restaurant that serves southern food (as best as they can make it in the midwest) as I enjoy the flavors and the food. Upon searching google, I found this restaurant that was close by! I dined in myself close to 2 pm. There weren't too many people at the time. I had ordered iced coffee and shrimp and grits.

Strawberry banana smoothie is way too chalky because milk is used as the base and not nearly enough strawberries. Adding honey and maybe use a fruit juice as a base would make it a million times better. The rest of the food is good and good size portions.

Service was friendly and quick but didn’t feel homey.
Food was decent but portion was huge. Signature pancakes were delicious and fluffy.
