Excellent! Had the big poppa and the fish was perfect and the shrimp were fried right and they weren’t the tiny shrimp either! Also had The Long Island Thang which was on point???. Definitely worth fighting the hour in traffic to get there. The owners are great people and very welcoming. Will definitely be back there for the rest of the menu.

Great little cafe right next to my work. I had the Momma C and the eggs, biscuit, crab cakes, and home style potatoes were all well made, very tasty and good quantity for the price. Will return often to try different items. Folks behind the counter are very friendly. Would recommend. Few days later Ive tried the french toast platter and the breakfast burrito. Both were great and very filling. Going to try the brunch items next!

First time here, came here for the chopped cheese but also grabbed the strawberry cream cheese stuffed french toast. Food was hot and fresh, chopped cheese was delicious and the fries nice and crispy! French toast was amazing as well! Friendly Staff, I’m assuming it’s the owners. Definitely will come back to try out other foods and we recommend this place.

This place is BOMB! My husband and I wanted to try it since my little brother has been recommending us to try it and we finally made the hour drive ! And let me tell you.. it was worth it!! We got the chopped cheese sandwhich (so flavorful and perfectly seasoned) and we have a sweet tooth so we chose the strawberry filled French toast and that was not too sweet(which we love) but you can make it sweeter if you like because they give you syrup on the side! The lady at the front was extremely kind and had the sweetest smile and you can tell they put love into their cooking because it showed ! They also gave us a free drink for it being our first time here and we chose the mango one and it was perfect aswell! My husband is picky with food and he was happily eating it up! We will definitely be making the drive to come eat here again!

This was my first time trying this place out. I had a breakfast platter & let me tell you that honey biscuit and grits were bussin, very pleasant husband & wife. Prices r steep, but I would definitely try again if I'm in the area.

I love the City Bodega. NY'er living in Atlanta for the last 30 years, but always visit NY to stay fresh! City Bodega is a great addition to the Grayson area with a good NY flair. They have great food, great prices and great service! They are serving all of their customers and not trying to mimic a NY spot. Put it all in perspective! Love the owners and experience!!

The service was good. It's a take out cafe service g breakfast and lunch. Our food was fresh and delicious. Their sausage patty is huge and flavorful. The French toast was delicious also. Good French toast is hard to find but they got it right. The honey biscuit was bussing. They also offer vegan dishes. We'll be back.

Amazing!!! Flat out amazing! Chase is a good friend of mine and his family owns this place so I went to check it out. It is a very nice change of pace from restaurants near the area when you're just looking for some good authenticity. That being said it is a place to definitely check out when feeling a need for a quiet place with good music to sit and eat some amazing home recipe food.

So my mom and I tried this place today. I got the Charleston (shrimp & grits) and my mom got the bayou (fried catfish nuggets & grits). The food was absolutely amazing!!! The grits were so creamy and perfectly seasoned, the fried fish had this light batter on it with a crunch with every bite, and the honey biscuits were baked to perfection. I will definitely be back! New Yawk city food in ga!!

Listen. Imma be real honest…. This place is too good to be true I’ve only had the famous chopped cheese. I was looking for a breakfast sandwich one morning and I decided to go on Google and look up Where is a good breakfast sandwich and it brought me to this place. When I got my food it was incredible delicious, it was so good in fact I came back a SECOND time the same day for another chopped cheese if it was that good I’d say everything on the menu is good!!
