Before new management this cafe was a gem. The new management is terrible. Food quality sacrificed at the same time raising prices. Don't waste your time. Done in Disaster.

I absolutely love this place. It's been a while since I've been past and decided to visit to celebrate my birthday. All the ladies received roses and I received an extra gift, a set of heart beads. It's Valentine's Day, so it was pretty busy, but when the food finally came out, it did not disappoint. Those potatoes were on point x 10! I wasn't able to eat all my food, but it's all good. I'll be able to have some for another day!

Thank you all for making my day great, without even knowing it!

The food is mediocre. They have an extremely long wait time for takeout food and they are always running out of things. They ran out of Togo trays creating an even longer wait time.

I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything from walk in to check out was amazing! I definitely recommend the pineapple upside down pancakes. They are phenomenal!

Food was alright, it came quickly. Would not recommend dining in. Music was too loud and we asked for to-go boxes but were told they did not have any.

The owners changed. I tried it twice after and both times were bad. Used to be my spot. Won't be going back anymore tho. They also forgot my pancakes the 2nd time I went.

VERY POOR SERVICE SINCE THEY REOPENED. The menu very, very small print and no pictures of the food they are serving.

My first time at this restaurant since they changed ownership was Saturday 11.15.25. The restaurant is a very small and intimate space. The tables can accommodate 4 but it will be tight if they have a full house. I will begin this statement with saying our waitress was nice, however you can tell she is new to hospitality or requires some training based on how she served us our drinks and food. I believe it will come with time ☺️
Now to the food! Everything was amazing. I originally watched an IG review from 1stonearth on the Shrimp and Grits and the stuffed French toast. It did not disappoint. I personally like my French Toast plain but the cream was good. The shrimp and grits needed no extra seasoning at all. 10/10. My husband had the scramble, and potatoes. That was enough for 2 people. Those potatoes were so good! Very well seasoned.

Part 2! I went back for take out on another day😂 . I had to get the French toast platter and I got a slice of that banana pudding cake! It was so good. I was pleased with the plating for take out. Very neat! I appreciate that. Overall, great job! I live around the corner so I will be back😂🥰

The food was good, but some of it came out late and a few of the sides from my wife’s order never arrived. It feels like they just give you a total without showing the full breakdown until after they print the receipt. After reviewing mine, I realized I was charged for an item I never received. The owner/manager was present, but overall the experience was terrible.

The food was delicious, lamb chop was delicious! Juicy cook to perfection. Waitress was polite and on point. The grits bowl was delicious! Will be visiting again.

They talked about pending charges about me. From a public post of mine. Called me a criminal and the had the nerve to block me. Innocent until proven guilty. Cases were DISMISSED. all because i commented how much was a lunch special.They are rude, telephone doesn't work. Food is below hospital food. Post on my fb reels RACHEL RAY.... poor customer service.

Today was my first time back in awhile, and there were some things that threw me off. I was used to seeing the usual ladies behind the counter but I walked in to two new girls behind the counter. Both of them were very friendly and respectful. I ordered my usual when I come here which is the Chicken Tender Basket. When I got the meal, it looked like they down sized on the amount of tenders and fries they give, but I could be mistaken since it has been awhile since I've been here due to being busy. The meal was amazing and my experience was very positive. I will definitely come back again when I have the time

I dont know what happened to this restaurant but it's not the same anymore 😔, I figured its new ownership because the quality and quantity of the food is not the same. If anyone know if the original owner open a new restaurant please direct me. My feelings was hurt when I went there and I expect my food to be cook a certain way 😩 and it won't there 😕; but on the upside the food there is ok and I would recommend eating if you hungry.
