This was my wife and I first time coming here and it is a quaint little spot in a great location in downtown Alpharetta. I had the veggie scramble with pimento grits. The combination was the scramble over the grits wasn't a good idea. My wife had the chicken and chicken and waffles and it was banging. The chicken was flavourful and crispy and as advertised. The atmosphere was tight seating but you can have a conversation and still be able to hear. We'll definitely be back.

Cozy interior design and good food. Wait time ~20min on a Saturday noon is acceptable.Came here for the shrimps and grits - and was not disappointed. French toast was tasty too. I would not recommend their Irish coffee though… it was really not well mixed and not a good flavor. Go for something else from the cocktail menu

The country fried steak and the gravy has no flavor and the biscuit was undercooked (inside still doughy, not baked to completion). If you're paying this much money for food, it should at least be good which it is not.

Perfect little breakfast spot in the heart of downtown Alpharetta! Finally tried this spot for the first time after saying for months we wanted to. It’s a quaint little house with good ol’ southern charm. It was warm and cozy and perfect for a breakfast date! I ordered the avocado toast which was superb!! It is sourdough toast with an avocado spread, and you get your choice of egg on top. It was super flavorful, so I don’t know what was mixed with the avocado but I loved it! My boyfriend got traditional southern breakfast, which was scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese grits, and a biscuit. They have pimento cheese grits which are really good!! We loved our breakfast here and will definitely come back. The service was also 10/10! Highly recommend!!

Great atmosphere, great service. Ordered French toast and it was not all the way cooked. It looked cooked from the outside but the inside was gooey and runny. They were very nice about it and took it back and offered me something else. I chose a bread pudding that wasn’t all that great. My husband had the breakfast burrito that was good.

Ethan was our server and he was very attentive to our asks and wants, will definitely be back because of Ethan. Best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had and I’ve had them all over the world.

Busy but good service. Loved the Bloody Mary's. Wait for food was really good considering the Sunday after church crowd.Parking: Tight but plenty, accessible, and free.

Having seen all the reviews I wanted to give this place a try for brunch. Location is great with easy parking and I did like our seating on the patio. For food I got avocado toast and my boyfriend got the dirty bird. For my avocado the toast itself was good but that was about it. It felt like there was no seasoning or acidity and I had to add to lots of salt for flavor. Overall it just felt like toast with plain avocado. For the dirty bird he said the chicken was great very juicy but biscuit was subpar. Service was good but doesn't make up for lack of flavors.
