I have been going to the one close to liberty for years. Tried the one in holladay since it is closer to me. Ordered DoorDash and had many issues. If you’re charging almost $8 for an orange juice please give the whole order to the dasher please. Ordered the ham hash. Things just got worse from here, my egg was completely fried and overcooked. Unable to be eaten except for the yolk, this is a major part of this dish and putting that in my box was unacceptable. I’ve worked in MANY restaurants and that is a very easy thing to spot and remake. This doesn’t even taste like the same dish that it used to be, overuse of the aioli, so much that I almost missed the giant hair that decided to join me for breakfast. I don’t make many reviews but ew all around.

Loved this place. They were super sweet to out dog and the service was great in general. Everyone loved their food from my two kids who got waffles, my husband who got a scramble bowl, and I especially loved my shrimp Po boy. I just wish the bread was able to hold everything. I had to cut it and eat it but still really good.

The photo tells the whole story. Scrumptious, Flavorful food, that is so good, you wipe the bowl clean with the toast. Delish. 11/10 recommend the chimichuri plate. ? what an excellent place to grab lunch, lively homey interior, and kind staff. A new favorite brunch spot. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed ?

Food was great environment not so much. Takes a long time to get a seat, you feel like you’re being bombarded with social propaganda everywhere, kind of unique that they make you pay for your meal before you receive it or even sit down. Likely won’t be back, but was glad I stopped in and tried it once.

Having been here a few years ago when it wasn't cafe style dining, I was underwhelmed with the service. The food was good but it all came out at different times. There were 4 of us. Our entrees came out 10 minutes apart and the appetizers came in between. The new way of ordering was fine but the hostess needs to do a much better job explaining how it works to people who haven't been there since the change. Overall the server that came and explained everything was very friendly. I think the issue here lies with the hostess' lack of communication with costumers. We waited forever to get boxes and we were finally able to waive a server down to ask, she informed us they were at a self serve station. I gave 3 stars because the food was as good as I remember. If this review was strictly based on service, it would be a 1 start review. I kept thinking, wouldn't it be easier to just have people order at the table from their phones??? Bypass ordering at the counter all together and have the hostess do a little bit more explaining when she seats a table. We heard several other tables complaining about the awkward ordering so I think that area could use some fine tuning. I'm still not sure how refills on water work...

Pig & a Jelly Jar needs to decide if it wants to be a casual dining experience or a fast-food experience. They have customers order at the front like fast food but charge them a service fee as if it’s casual dining.The owner claims in other reviews that “The gratuity is to give everyone on our staff equal share of tips, and to get customers helped out as quickly as possible.” If the owner was concerned about equal pay, they would pay their staff more. As for their claim of “as quickly as possible,” the staff are unmotivated by their “guaranteed tip” and service is slow due to it. The only time the staff were present was when they delivered the drinks and meals that took longer to come out than they should have. Nobody was available to provide refills on drinks or other necessities.One might think the food would be the saving grace of this fast-casual restaurant, but that unfortunately is not the case. The selections were unique from other restaurants, but even with the variety of items on one’s plate, the food still lacked flavor. The economy may be harsh right now, but customers can find cheaper meals with more flavor elsewhere.All things considered, this restaurant was very clean and comfortable to sit in.

Charges 18% gratuity on everything, including take out orders. Will agree to remove gratuity and then 10 minutes later come back and say they will just charge it back to your card. Buyer beware - they insist on the fee and will charge your card without authorization to do so. I talked to the manager and they ended up saying they wouldn't go back and add it to my card. Food was also lackluster, but it's mainly the service that was the problem.

My first time at this place. Atmosphere seemed nice but before we were seated they had us order at the counter which was weird. The food was not bad but when they brought the bill it had 18% hospitality fee. How did they know what I wanted to tip? I might have done more or less. That and the counter ordering was a real thumbs down for us. Will not be our go to brunch place. I would however love to purchase more of the salsa if they sold it.

This place has the best service ever I went around 2:00 p.m. my food was at my table within 10 minutes. My drinks were served within the first five minutes of sitting down. I totally recommend the Belgian waffle is absolutely fabulous it was made fresh the fruit was fresh. The hot chocolate was out of this world amazing and I've never had such a fabulous hot chocolate.My boyfriend had the chicken and waffles and it was amazing. The staff is so kind even when the restaurant was somewhat busy asked me if I needed additional drinks . I will be coming back and I'll be bringing friends and family so they can experience this wonderful restaurant.

Set up is odd. You place your order at the counter then try to find a place to sit. The food took quite a while to come out. We ordered a drink and they forgot about it. My spouse asked about the drinks then went back for a second time and another customer reminded them that we never got our drinks.They automatically charge 18% gratuity which, is fine but we had zero service. A server delivered food to the wrong table, left the beignets and went back and took them off the table which is a violation of food service guidelines 2 hours of our lives we won't get back. Interesting menu. Won't be back.

Ordering was a bit strange as you had to pay then go sit and wait for your food. The food was pretty good but unfortunately later in the day made my stomach upset. The waiters seemed super nice and extremely busy. We asked for refills and condiments but they never came as there were only 2 people helping the entire restaurant.I hope they get more employees soon ❤️ they worked to hard to not have great service.

My first time dining here. We came for brunch on a Thursday and it wasn't crowded at all. The staff was kind and offered their informed suggestions to us. We stayed and talked long after everyone left and staff didn't seem annoyed which we appreciated. Got the kitchen sink, thought the potato's were a little dry but that the eggs were perfect. Chicken and waffles was one of my favorites that i tried!

Showed up at 10:30 am Sunday so maybe that’s where our mistake was. The cashier was friendly and actually waited a minute to ring in our drinks. After that, no one came to the table, no water, my partner needed to stand up to fulfill his coffee order. His chicken and waffles were good, my kitchen sink was served cold. I understand the point of the place, but very poorly executed. Many people were fighting for seating around us the entire time we ate.

My husband and I ordered takeout. He got there at the time given on the confirmation and still ended up waiting 15-20 minutes. It was almost like it hadn’t been started. The online ordering system charged us an extra $9 for the “service fee” and, though it seemed like I could call in, no one answered when I did. So we ordered online. I was kind of hoping the service fee was going to mean our food was ready on time. We don’t like the “tip before service” thing with online ordering and prefer to tip after service, based on the friendliness and efficiency of the service. When my husband asked the server to verify the order had been paid for, the server never even came back for my husband to be able to tip. He gave my husband a “thumbs up” from afar. The green eggs and ham was good (delicious biscuits) and the waffle was okay. I loved the fact that they source local, so that was a plus! Just kind of pricey to do take out and not the greatest service.

Ultimately, I found the total price to be higher than what the experience is worth.Food was decent (about diner quality). There is a mandatory gratuity ("Hospitality Fee") included, but not listed on the menu. I have no problem with tipping, and I have no problem with gratuity, but the service style is more like what you find at a Fast-Casual restaurant.We ordered at a counter and sat ourselves. The only times the waiter came to our table was to bring our food and to bring our water (which we had to ask for after the food arrived). The wait time between ordering and our food arriving was longer than was comfortable (although I know the wait staff have very little control over that).If you love Southern Food and money is not an issue for you, give it a go, but ultimately I didn't find it worthwhile.
