My family enjoyed Sunday breakfast here. The food was fabulous and so fresh . Better than or at least as good as your momma’s kitchen . The omelette was delicious and I loved that I was able to pick my 3 favorite ingredients. The biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon were a big hit too! The menu is big so there’s lots to pick from and I enjoyed the Memphis themed paintings on the walls. We did have to wait for a table and the restaurant is pretty loud but that just means...

Excellent food…Redneck eggs Benedict w gravy over easy! Flapjacks, light fluffy tangy whew! Atmosphere loud, could use some dampers on the walls or curtains on glass.

Kid-friendliness: Low key casual

Easily one of the best breakfast places I have been to in a while. The waffle, french toast, and breakfast skillet were AMAZING! The pancakes were so good and easily splitable if you are looking for something to share! We will be coming back!
