This was my first time here. This place is truly hidden because when I say if u blink too fast u will miss it…..honey! U will.

The atmosphere and food were both lovely. I hate I couldn’t remember the waitress name but I feel like it was Jackie. Sad part it wasn’t a hard name to remember & I still didn’t. But I remember that food though. LOL

I ordered catfish & grits w a side of potatoes.

Our service person was phenomenal. HIDDEN MANNAAAAA.... The food was horrible. Our waitress was fantastic and sooo accommodating. Myself and my cousin was sick with Gastrointestinal signs and symptoms. The food wasn't seasoned or over cooked. The green tomatoes unseasoned in the inside and batter hard as a brick. My cousin's chicken wings were old , tasteless and dark brown in the middle. That day was NOT the Hidden Manna as I remembered and knew

Parking: Very tight turns in the parking lot.

The food is sooooooo good. The staff is so kind and attentive. I only gave 4 stars for the wait. Get a mimosa or a latte to enjoy while your food is prepared.

Vegetarian options: I get the grits Yaya, think shrimp and grits, with zucchini and other veggies instead of shrimp. You can choose your heat level.

The atmosphere was very relaxing. Nice music softly playing. Our waitress was awesome. My entree pasta was very flavorful without being overwhelmed with salt (thank you Chef❤) for that. My mimosa was tasty but needed a smidge more of pineapple juice to malke it perfect. I ordered another pasta (mild unlike the one that I had there which was spicy). Unfortunately, communication failed and the chef made another spicy which my mother was unable to eat when I took it to her. I got 2 peach cobblers to go and I just had half of mine ?. Crust lacked ANY flavor and waa mushy, peaches alao overcooked and tart. I've been to this establishment before and was very pleased. This time was a hit and a miss BUT before I throw in the towel, I will visit once more before rendering my final verdict.?

Parking: I didn't see parking for the disabled (unless I missed it); if so, my apologies.

Kid-friendliness: Yes ot is kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is a ramp. which is why I was puzzled about designated parking for disabled patrons.

We had a new girl, hopefully she will learn how to come back periodically and check on her customers.
Other than that, food presentation was 5star

I've been here before and had an enjoyable experience. This last time was just ok. My cousin had lobster and waffles and the lobster was overdone. My shrimp and grits was fine. Service felt rushed and inattentive, but they were nice.

Dietary restrictions: They have a coconut milk option in lieu of heavy cream.

Haven’t been here in a few years and as soon as I started eating I remembered how delicious they were! Had the classic breakfast but everything was made with precision you can taste it! Also, they have custard like sauce that is delicious with the waffle. Overall a solid 9/10 for sure
