Walked in at 9:30 am and smelled cigar smoke from the cigar lounge next door. The food was average and a bit expensive. Service could've definitely been better as well. Definitely not a place my husband and I would revisit and we're foodies. Oh and heads up they automatically charge an additional 18% for gratuities which is becoming standard in restaurants these days. Just to give you a vision of our experience we paid $74.28 for 2 people ( salmon + egg plate and omelette+ toast plate) coffee and tea beverage dry waitress with no hospitality. I asked to order a biscuit and was told we came too early and they weren't ready. ??♀️ Enjoy your visit!

Please update your hours of operation. Google says y’all are open at 7am Mon - Fri and on the door it says the same thing I get there at 9:30am on a Wednesday and it’s closed with no explanation

Food is good! However,the business hours are not as stated online. I have went there several times and it's closed. I give it a 3 star rating for that reason.

The Atmosphere- The spot was quaint and charming with a slight southern appeal. Seating is relatively quick and the bathroom was extremely clean (speaks volumes to me). The customer service was A1. Our waitress was friendly, patient, and polite.The Food - The Waffle was really tasty and thick. We also ordered the fried chicken with it and it was hot and crispy. Just a tad bit greasy, but nothing to run anyone away. I enjoyed it.Areas of improvement - The food wait time was a little longer than expected considering there were just a few tables seated at the time. However, I do appreciate ppl taking time with my food to do it right. Just be prepared that it may take 20-25 minutes to get your meal. It’s worth it though.Parking: 25-35 spots plus additional parking nearbyKid-friendliness: Kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: It’s accessible

The vibes, the atmosphere, the customer service & taste of food was top notch!! My family & I were searching for a low key brunch spot that had good food, but this place exceeded our expectations! It’s very clean and the employees are very nice. It wasn’t crowded, nice music was playing in the background and the time to receive our food was a reasonable amount of time. The food was not only hot but so delicious & flavorful! I do not stay in the area, but I will travel the distance to return to this location. Thank you for such an amazing experience!Kid-friendliness: We took our kids and it’s age appropriate. No hookahs or alcohol present. I love that our kids could finally enjoy a nice brunch as a family!
I ordered the Supreme studio shrimp and Grits with the twisted donut and strawberry cream donut. My cousin ordered the catfish and grits. Everything was delicious! I'll order the catfish and grits when I return! ?

Ordered some takeout since I wanted to give this place a try. Did not regret at all. The place looks beautiful on the inside, and it's easy to locate. The service was great, they had me in and out. Nice guy behind the counter. Some of the best fried chicken that I have ever tasted in my life, not joking at all. Nearly tasted like my mama's chicken, I thought I was back home for a second. The Waffle was done just right as well, and they gave me 2 cups of syrup instead of just 1. I'll be coming back here in the future.

First of, the staff was genuine, attentive and helpful from the time we arrived to the time we left. The vibe was giving breakfast at Tiffany's mixed with Neo-soul. The food was amazing. The girts were creamy, the salmon was fresh and flavorful and the omelette was delicious with all the toppings. The Georgia Peach moscato was soothing with flavor. Definitely a place I will go back for more. Check them out yall!!!
It was simply wonderful. The chicken and waffles were delightful. The chicken wasn't the usual tenders, but actual wings that were fried to perfection. The flavor was yummy, the crust crunchy and the meat was juicy. My husband has the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were tender and he said the grits were delicious. It also has sausage on top. My other daughter has the salmon crochets. She loved them. They were crispy and flavorful. I had the eggs, bacon, and french toast with maple syrup, strawberries and blueberries. I can honestly say we will be back. You have to go, you won't be disappointed. We spent 118.00. A bit pricey but worth the experience.

Mid. Bland. Got the breakfast burrito and they brought tortillas in from elsewhere which caused a 15 min or so wait. Also, the bill automatically comes with 18% gratuity.

I was looking for a nice breakfast spot for my family and I to enjoy. Something other than IHOP or Waffle house, and I found it here at Searra's! The waitress was very nice and polite, food came out at a reasonable time and everything we had was delicious. They do add a 18% gratuity charge your bill regardless of your party size.Parking: Good amount of parking, small parking lot though.

Wanted something good and different without having to drive to the north suburbs. 10/8/2023. While this is still a good distance from home, the drive was worth it. The reviews were decent enough that I even ordered a dish I don't eat. catfish and grits. the sauce on the grits was flavorful and was no need to add salt or pepper. flavor popping with onions, peppers and whatever the butter sauce the roux was made of. the catfish was crispy but not too much because I don't like crispy and overly fried fish. full of flavor and not overly seasoned. hey! mentally I was struggling knowing i was eating catfish ( normally won't eat it) but my tastebuds was on board. no dirt or grittyness. Malia service was good. it took her awhile to come back near the end. Her service started off great. her food suggestion was on point. The space is small and quaint. Can probably accommodate about 45 to 50 people at full capacity. Few booths and few tables. First come first seat. Pricing is alignment with similar establishments. When paying please check your bill. Hand held card reader. Gratuity is automatically added. I liked Malia was transparent in stating the gratuity was already calculated in the total. Much appreciated. I would definitely come back. There were a few menu items I'd like to try. I think she mentioned a few items change seasonally.
