Amazing tasting and looking food. The service could use some work. Didn't know we needed to order at the host stand. Sat without a drink until I got my food. Approximately 15 minutes.

Super good food (the brisket Benedict is 🔥), the drip coffee is AMAZING, and the bathrooms were beautifully renovated and clean. Great service and relaxed atmosphere. I’ll be back!

It didn’t pop up when I was searching for coffee in the area but thankfully it showed when I searched for breakfast. This place is unreal cute & such a good find— I ate here two days in a row because the biscuits were that good

Best breakfast for miles. The biscuits and gravy are outstanding (biscuits as they should be, not a doughy mess). The brisket benedict is the stuff of legend, worth a special trip.
Lunches are great, too. The salads, in particular, are outstanding. If you're around during peach season it's even better. Superb food, friendly service.

Went in to have a $50 breakfast was the only table in the place and they got the order wrong. When they took it back, the chef looks at me with the most disgusting look through the window like I ordered the food wrong or something.
When I speak to manager, all she does is apologize and didn’t offer to reimburse me or anything of that nature.
Upon leaving, the chef is giving me stairs through the window and actually came out to try to fight me. I highly don’t recommend going into this place. It’s a joke!

I was sad to find that there were no matcha lattes, but then delighted instead to find ube instead!! What a treat to find in a small town! The biscuit with various butters was amazing and service was impeccable. Nice spot!

TLDR: Food is okay but can quickly turn pricey.
So, to preface this, I like breakfast and I like a big breakfast. One where you normally get all the things like pancakes with eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns or a plate of eggs, bacon and hashbrowns with biscuits and gravy. Basically, an entree with two or three sides.
Been here a few times and I've had most of everything people tend to talk about from here. Crullers were good and I appreciate them as this kind of donut has become hard to find in recent years, though I think these lack the traditional fluffiness and big air pockets of a typical Cruller, they are still quite tasty, and I like that they are flavored. Biscuit sandwiches seem a little small for the price and sometimes the biscuit seems tough to bite through, though I've chalked this up to different chefs. Order of biscuits and gravy were pretty good, though gets a little pricey especially if you order an egg or something with it. I agree with another reviewer who said they needed to add salt and pepper to their meal, unfortunately a lot of their stuff is either really sweet or a tad bland and needs something extra like salt/pepper/hot sauce to really be something great.
The really bad part for me is the menu is basically ala carte only. If you order a traditional breakfast, let's say French Toast with two eggs and a side of bacon, that's $16.50 plus coffee another 3.50, so that's $20 on one person for breakfast. Two people can easily sink $40-50 for breakfast here alone, especially when you want to add in a tip, while in another town over the same breakfast for two costs $10-$15 less than this. Kind of surprising to find a place like this in a town like Murphysboro where you could walk two blocks over and be in a low-income housing neighborhood. I would expect a breakfast spot with these prices to be in St. Louis or, at least, Marion where the median income is much higher, and most people can afford to eat at a place like this.
With all that said, the place used to be an old car dealership and I really love the aesthetic they've went with in the remodel. I wish the seats were a little more comfortable, but everything really works well with the space. Service is usually good, though the people working behind the counter seem very busy and it can take a few minutes to get their attention.
Parking: Better to park across the street at subway and walk across the street, unless you can find parking on the street. There is a very small gravel parking lot next to the building itself.

Great atmosphere, love the old building with great upgrades. Food was pricey but good. I am a B&G snob, and have to say, very good. Staff was very courteous and attentive.
