“I came here after an appointment in the area to read and enjoy some breakfast. I always love an eggs Benedict which they had a couple choices to choose from. I got the shredded beef Eggs Benny, with potatoes, and English breakfast tea. (They have Cholula which is one of my favorite hot sauces for morning meals.)
My waitresses were speedy, punctual and so friendly. It was a bit crowded, but only waited 5 minutes for my table. (Even going alone I got a whole booth to myself)
Enjoyed casually ease dropping on the tables next to me, and wasn't interrupted while reading a novel. It's a stimulating atmosphere, I find most corporate breakfast chains are. It's definitely worth a stop in, if you're in the area. :)“

“We were hosting a fundraiser for 150 people and knew we needed something special for our first year event. We found EXACTLY what we needed at Thyme After Time Southern Cuisine and Catering. It is truly southern comfort food at its finest! The buffet spread was delicious, but their prosciutto wrapped, asparagus, were so flavorful and the beef and sweet potato skewers were a show stopper! I highly recommend Thyme After Time for your next special occasion. Their staff was friendly professional and really worked hard to create an unforgettable dining experience.“

“Boneless wings tasted like pickle juice so I guess they bought them at Sam’s first time the food was nasty but won’t ever go back“

“Food was excellent.Also I had an excellent server.Her name was Emily,need more servers like her.“

“Hollandaise was too salty not warm enough.and there was way too much on the plate. Hot bologna was ok but no add on options lettuce etc were offered or on it . Theham was good on the Benedict. The poached eggs were over done and did not run at all.more like boiled egg.. the reason for 4 stars was the service. He was excellent.friendly and attentive.the only reason I would go back would be him. I wish them luck but they need to tweak some things. For the price they charge it could be better“

“We ordered from Swiftwater to cater a Christmas lunch. I can't say enough about how smooth the process went. They called a couple of times to confirm the order and delivery address. The day of the event, they were on time and set everything up for us.

The quality of the food was great. We had sandwiches, wraps, pasta salad, potato salad, and pepperoni rolls. Portions were generous.

I would definitely consider Swiftwater for catering. We will use them for future events.“

“The food was awesome, everything was good. I had, jalapeño cheese sticks, cheeseburger, sweet tea and cornbread.“

“The food year seems to be under seasoned for the most part. The service was excellent. Good hostess. If you’re looking for good seafood , you’ve come to the right place or if you want a good steak or chicken, but if you’re looking for a burger joint, this is not it. The lobster bisque needed more seasoning and so did the rice that came with the meal. My wife and I loved the appetizers. Overall experience 85 out of 100.“

“Food was delicious and service was top notch! Cajun chicken pasta and chicken wrap were awesome! Kid friendly too!“

“Always an 5 star experience!“

“Nitro Tudors...wraps & biscuits are the best“

“I’m super picky with my chicken and their wings are so good. I also love the bruschetta here. The service is always impeccable and the vibes are nice. Perfect spot for a date night or gathering of friends. I usually get a glass of prosecco and it’s always bubbly and fresh.“

“Jessica H. took really good care of us. She served us dinner. She was very sweet and friendly. It was nice to have someone like her, after being on the road all day long. We will be sure to stop by again, when we are in the area. Thanks again, Phil & Donna“

“On August 25, 2025, before my Delta flight at 3:25 pm, I stopped at the bar and ordered a decaf coffee. The woman behind the counter went above and beyond—she brewed a fresh pot and even offered to make it easier for me to take on the plane. Instead of a regular to-go cup, she poured it into a water bottle so it would be more convenient. Her thoughtfulness was outstanding. I wish I could remember her name.“

“I’ve been going into this location for several months in the morning. The young man with the salt and pepper hair is always so polite and nice. He makes my whole experience so much better. He remembers what I buy every morning and has it ready and waiting for me. Great customer service from this young man! I’ve had previous experiences at this location that were not so nice and stopped going for a long time. He makes my day a bit brighter. Kudos for such a pleasant person Cold Spot!“

“Really enjoyed this friendly restaurant.“
