We do not mind to wait for first watch because we always have a great experience, but today was a little different. Our waitress made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. I asked for blueberry and lemon cornbread to which she quickly said we don’t sell it anymore did offer anything different? It was certainly lackluster. Maybe it was because they were short staffed, but either way she was angry

Felt like I was eating food straight from the farm. Our service was friendly, personable and efficient. Wait time for the food was definitely acceptable and the taste was chefs kiss. Will be back here again.

Besides Metro Diner, this is my go-to place for breakfast or brunch. The trifecta is awesome. The pancake is big and fluffy. They give you 2 eggs any way you want. And I always get the chicken apple sausage and blackberry iced tea which I believe are hidden gems on the menu. Definitely go here when your nearby.
