Amazing food, good music, good vibes, great service.. What more can you ask for?! Loved everything about the place and the young lady working up front made me feel right at home. This was my first visit but wont be my last. I had the Shrimp & Grits and I was mad once I ate it all, hahaha 10/10!🔥🔥🔥

On Friday 3/14, they were only open 10:00-2:00. I arrived at 1:30.Only cooking chicken and fries. No other items available. I had wings and fries. They were very average in quality. Won't do that again. Will try again for the other menu items.

Food is great and the hospitality that Chelle gave made us feel so welcome. Enjoyed listening to some old school R&B while savoring the scrumptious bowl of grits and plate of chicken and Waffles. I've also tried their Philly cheese steak sandwich and will go back to try their Mac n cheese. Chelle was very sweet and gave us some sweet potato pie to try which was very delicious! I hope she decides to sell it regularly!

They were super busy and it was the bet end of the day but the food came out delicious! Great little no-frills spot for tasty food. The chef, Michelle, came out to greet us and check on the food too!

Fantastic! My family and I came in here and we basically played musical plates, passing each other's dishes around cause everything was delicious! Extremely sweet hostess, and just an overall good experience.

Couple things to note:
1. Parking in the area sucks. Not the restaurants fault but trying to find a spot took several U-turns.
2. The inside of the restaurant is tiny. There's only 5 tables; 4 on one single long booth, and then a single table for 6. I'm only saying this so you're aware if you happen to be coming in with a party of 4 or more.

Would highly recommend! Best breakfast/lunch we've had since coming to Seattle!

Love the texture of the waffles! Mac and cheese was decadent too. The loaded grits bowl was flavorful and filling - had to take half to go!

Wow, what a gem! Best fried chicken I’ve had in the city (perfect crisp, good breading-to-meat ratio, and juicy). The Mac is made from scratch - creamy, cheesy, and very well portioned for a side. Service is also top-notch. You order at the counter and find a table but the host and back of house staff still come around and check how your food is. Cherry on top was they offered a fresh, homemade cookie on the house as we left. Highly recommend!

Food amazing. But no AC so eat early if it’s hot or in your car. And the windows need screens so flies don’t come inside
