11/10 Great food, laid back breakfast and good coffee. Service was prompt and pleasant, very chill. Good vibes. The food is unique, good quality and filling. I hope the open a few more places, but happy to make the trip out to get breakfast here!

Gross. Ordered the southern & breakfast magic waffles with scrambled eggs. Burnt brown broken egg topped shabbily on waffles with 4 bits sausage or so. Not sure what we just ate & paid for at this place.

Get the sausage gravy waffle if you like biscuits and gravy. It might be the best sausage gravy I've had at a restaurant.

Terrible service and zero awareness from the staff.
I walked in and the restaurant was practically empty, but three people were crowded right in the entrance yelling their to-go orders at the server who was literally 10 feet away at the register. They had me pinned against the wall and wouldn’t move to the counter like normal human beings.
I stood there for a solid five minutes while they figured out what they wanted. The server looked right at me multiple times and didn’t say a word, no “I’ll be with you in a second,” no “please place your order at the register,” nothing. She just let them block the entire doorway.
I was actually planning to sit down, relax, and eat there, but the whole vibe was so chaotic and rude that I just turned around and left. Took my money somewhere else.
The food looked great from what I could see, which makes it even more frustrating. Really disappointing first (and last) impression, one server apparently can’t manage basic crowd control or simple courtesy.

Came on a Monday, it wasn’t super busy, got sat as soon as we walked in. Service was excellent, she was very attentive throughout my entire meal. I wasn’t sure what to get because the menu has so many options but she recommended either the frolic, chicken and waffles or the megaberry as popular choices. I chose the megaberry and it was one of the best waffles I’ve ever had. The strawberries were super fresh and it was plated beautifully. I will be coming back. Kudos to the workers!!

Slow as heck. Took about 5 minutes to be seated. Waited 20 minutes before asking a waiter that past our table 4 times could she get that waiter that had our table. She confirmed that she was our waiter and stated that she was getting to us and would return shortly. Another 15 minutes went by. We did not see her again. She never introduced herself and we were never offered drinks. We arrived at 10:55am and left at 11:38am

Waited two hours for the male waiter working on October 26th 2025 just to inform us that our food would be out soon and then to come back 20 minutes later to inform us that the “kitchen lost our order” would not recommend at all!

currently sat in the restaurant, been here for 42 minutes waiting on 2 waffles. there’s only 3 other groups in here.
update- it took a total of51 minutes to get my food. genuinely ridiculous. i could’ve walked home and made my own waffles in the time it took. and they weren’t even good!!

Absolute best waffles around! We had a fantastic breakfast, and the service was amazing! Our waffles and potatoes were cooked to perfection, and our server Juliet was super sweet and attentive! Highly recommend!

The food was just okay for the price. The only good thing was the potatoes. The kids meal french toast was hard. They put it in a waffle press. My waffle was soggy and the chicken on the waffle tasted like it was cooked hours ago. My husband's tacos were okay. My son's sandwich was okay. We were constantly swatting away flies and gnats that were landing on our food. I wish I would've read the comment about the health code violation before going. Honestly we were going to go to cheesecake factory for brunch but they were closed and we were already up there.
Lastly, the service was disappointing. I used to work in the restaurant industry. I know how it can be. However, we felt very uncomfortable. Our server (erica) made it seem like the last thing she wanted to do was wait on our table. We were cut off multiple times while ordering. We felt rushed in the beginning and felt like we waited forever to pay and leave. Hearing how she reacted with other tables and how she reacted with ours was crazy. We always tip and we are friendly...Maybe she already judged us before we ordered.
