The restaurant was empty and I arrived 5 minutes before the rest of my party. Their policy to make you stand and wait for party should be reconsidered. It really is off putting to see empty tables and not be able to sit and have a cup of coffee while waiting for 5 minutes for the rest of party. Food is excellent. Experience ruined because of aforementioned seating policy.

Very unacceptable that you can't order a to go order while you are waiting for your meal.Management only stated that is on their policy, and pointed a sign with very small letter that no one will be able or take the time to read.Will no recommend this restaurant due to poor customer services.

Food is very good. Long waits for seating and food delivery. Staff is no nonsense and efficient.

Aside from the usual wait, this restaurant is typically a pretty good choice! However this morning we tried to place an order online but the desired item is no longer listed. We called the restaurant for clarification and it was confirmed that must’ve happened in error. The person who answered the phone looked for a manager for us to speak to. After waiting on hold for a manager we were told to call back in 15 minutes or come in person to place the order at the counter. We explained to her that we could not wait. The whole purpose of ordering online was to avoid some of the wait. Seeing as though the error was on their end, we assumed she would offer to complete the order request over the phone. She said, “sorry” and ended the call. I completely understand the high volume of customers this restaurant serves, hence the reason why they don’t take orders over the phone. We just assumed the natural response would be to accommodate since we were literally unable to place the order online. I guess their customers are only a priority when you can adhere to their rules.

It’s been awhile, but I can say the food is delicious, the atmosphere is great and the pricing is competitive, while offering a better dining experience than other eateries.

We haven't eaten here in the last 5 years. Boy has the cooking suffered. Wait staff still excellent, though.I had the smoked salmon scramble. The eggs were rubbery and overcooked. There was way too much smoked salmon, and the herded cream cheese could not be tasted. The creamy, dreamy grits, was more like nightmare grits. . . watery and tasteless. The biscuit was delicious ? so I ate that, a few bites of the scramble, and choked down 2 spoonfuls of grits.We will not be back. Skip this place and go to Dennys or IHOP.

We had an excellent breakfast with great service and atmosphere. Our table ordered the hot honey chicken and waffle and the stuffed French toast breakfast. Every bite was delicious!

My yogurt, granola, and berries breakfast was delicious, but my companion's spinach, grits, eggs, and sausage dish was spectacular! I left my vacuum coffee mug at the table and our server ran after me to give it to me.

My wife arrived with the kids and my order so I could make my way there during a short lunch break. Host refused to seat her because of a policy about incomplete parties, despite being told they’d order for everyone now. I spoke to manager who was very unapologetic about this.Food was fine, and they kindly cleared off a pleasant outdoor booth for us, but this place just doesn’t work if you don’t have the luxury of a long lunch break.Dietary restrictions: Staff somewhat knowledgeable about celiac and willing to help, but no special menus or detailed allergen info.

My husband and I make it a point to come once a month. The breakfast is very good and grits are creamy, cheesy and have great flavor. They have apple butter for your biscuits and the wait staff is amazing. I love their breakfast chorizo tacos. It comes with all of the fixing and queso! The hangover hash is awesome too!

Service is always fantastic and the Breakfast Tacos and Hangover Hash are superb. Pro tip - get extra eggs on the hash.

Joined a friend for breakfast on a Tuesday morning, and we’re seated at a 2 person table. After our meal we lingered to visit. An hour and 45 minutes after we entered the restaurant the manager came and said they were getting very busy, and asked us to leave. He gained two seats but permanently lost 2 customers.
