Very little on the menu was available at noon when we arrived. The server was very nice and the ambiance was ok. But I asked specifically for a dish prepared the way it says it is on the menu and it came out differently. When I asked about it, the server went away and didn't come back. Finally I asked it was shrugged off. No one in my party was very impressed by the food.

I came here with a group of 8 and were told we could not sit together due to a fire hazard. That i understand. However, from the beginning, the female server had an attitude. When we tried asking suggestions such as sitting outside so we could sit together but immediately shut us down. and proceeded to say “eat somewhere else” which we went next door to the thai sushi place and was pleasantly surprised by their delicious lunch special and good service. It’s not what she said that bothered my group but how she said it

Wasn’t even able to eat in, our party ended up having to leave. We were a party of 8 and understood that they had trouble accommodating us but the waitresses attitude was the main problem. They had just opened the place they were not busy, and the waitress told us we could leave and eat somewhere else. She was rude, and short with us and didn’t even attempt to compromise.

Great quaint brunch place. There is not too much seating, but my friend and I did not have to wait too long to get seated. I ordered the fried chicken and grits and loved it. The grits are cheesey and delicious. I loved the fried chicken as well and it added a great texture to the dish. The dish as a whole was a bit on the salty/heavier side but I didn't mind it too much. Overall great place and would come again!

Well I think this has got to be the most expensive brunch I’ve ever had personally. My fiancée and I tried this place out for a couple breakfast sandwiches earlier this week. We’d heard nothing but great things about this place, so we were looking forward to trying it out. We both thought the sandwiches were okay, but nothing too special. Certainly very large portions, but kinda missing a bit of taste. Regardless, the main issue was just the quality of the food. This is undoubtedly odd, but we had both mentioned to each other that the bacon in our sandwiches was hard. Not crispy or anything like that, but genuinely hard. It was like chewing on a rock because all of the pieces were stuck together and folded over. After leaving, my fiancée was complaining the whole way home that her jaw was hurting. We checked her out once we got home and noticed that one of her teeth was chipped. We take her to the dentist and they then hit us with a bill of $1,500…So certainly not the most pleasant dining experience. Chipped tooth aside, we both felt the food was overpriced for what it was and just not that great. You are certainly pay for quantity and not quality. Coffee was great though lol. All in all, can’t say I recommend this place.

Really nice breakfast/brunch spot with delicious sandwiches and filling portion sizes. Small but cozy layout.

THE BEST BRUNCH IN GAINESVILLE! If you love crispy bacon, correct proportions of champagne to oj mimosas, mouth watering French toast, fresh fruit and great service this is the place for you. The staff are friendly and attentive and the vibes are great. 100/10 recommend

We went on a busy game day Saturday around 11am and wait time was 40 min. They don't hold on the bacon , most places give a little sliver but these were bug slices. I would love to know where they get their bacon from. We got the Big Pig Sandwich and the burrito which were both incredible. Price isn't too bad either. Great flavors and I feel like every condiment on the food shined in its own and gave the food some depth considering they are both two simple items and it's hard to mess them up anyways. They really hit it out of the park. Would deff come back.

We came on a Saturday morning around noon. There was plenty of space so we chose a table on the patio. It was perfect - shady but still able to people watch. Service was quick, the waiter recommended the original sandwich so that's what we got, as well as a cold brew. The cold brew was very good and the original sandwich was very impressive looking. A thick piece of egg souffle, thick piece of pork jowl, and bacon. I thought it was very tasty but my hubby got some pieces that were overcooked and so hard that he thought he cracked his tooth on one of them. I guess some of the pieces are hit or miss. The sandwich is very filling though, could only finish half so took the other half home.

Food was good but it took WAY TOO LONG. Waited over an hour for eggs, bacon, and toast.

waited 30 mins past opening sign listed on the door. Looked in the window and all the staff was just sitting down. Waste of time.

Sub-par service. The person who took my order did not offer water, did not bring napkins or utensils, took forever to close out the check, did not check on me to see how the food was or if I needed anything until I had already finished, did not introduce themselves or say their name. Amateur at best, lazy and disinterested at worst.

Pretty good food, I got the Morning Pig sandwich and it was decent. (I'd go with the hash next time). The oat milk chai was okay but I think I just don't like oat milk. Service was good and the servers were very chill and helpful, and it's a very cute little place. Don't come here with a large party, you will not be able to fit more than ~6 at a table. Overall I wouldn't say I was impressed or disappointed. I would go again just to try new stuff, but the ingredients seemed high quality.

Food was a 7/10 - we had the 2 egg breakfast and the nacho tots - service was a 5/10 - we had to remind our waiter of basic things multiple times (condiments, napkins, drinks) when there were only another 2 parties in the restaurant. To the point that we had to grab another waiter who got them to us immediately. After that point, our waiter didn't stop at our table for a solid 30 minutes, and we had to ask multiple times for the check, as other servers were coming by to bus our table w/the whole party still there, felt like we were getting pushed out. Soils probably order take out from them, but service was crappy so I wouldn't sit in again.

Wow! Stumbled upon this little place on Yelp and was very pleased. I had the roast beef sandwich and it was everything you would want it to be - tender and tasty with pickled onions and blue cheese. So good. Breakfast platter was delicious and bacon was crispy. Staff was attentive and so accommodating. I would eat that roast beef sandwich every day if I could.
