I got what i thought was a southern skillet and ended up with two black hairs in my food when my hair is long and blonde. this is absolutely disgusting since i was mid chew when i felt it in my mouth. first and last time for me!

Worst service EVER. Like actually ever. My eggs weren't on my meal when it arrived had to flag my server down since she never came to check on the table and she ended up bringingme one egg after i showed her they werent on my skillet. When she brought it she set it down said "apologize" and walked away. My friend mentioned then just how RUDE our server was to me. I had frosting of some sort on my water glass. My friend had a bug in her coffee and no fault to the restaurant, its nature, she asked for a new cup and the server rolled her eyes as she walked away like it was a huge deal to grab a new cup. The server spilled coffee on my friend when she brought it back and said sorry while walking away.Food was good but if I am paying someone for a meal I would like to atleast feel the server cares atleast a little bit.Also they don't split checks. That is odd, probably should have a very visible sign on the door.

Had 2 eggs over medium, pork sausage links, hash browns and biscuit. Husband had 2 eggs sunny side up, hash browns and pancakes. Sausage and eggs were barely warm and pancakes were huge but dry. Biscuits were drop biscuits, not the usual raised biscuits served in the south. Nothing to write home about!

The pancakes and omelets are really good here they also have a large variety of other entrees to choose from.

Second time here and it was awful. Food was watered down, yes water tasted. When I walked in there was 4 people at the counter. Not one person acknowledged me, while waiting for someone to stop talking. A rude customer walked threw me not once but twice. While staff still didnt acknowledge me. And all i was doing is picking up food. I will not return, for the money spent for an omelet and french toast with eggs, was over 30 bucks and they shorted us a french toast. Says 2 slices. We got one slice cut in half. I guess half's equal wholes in their eyes. Will not be back.

Service was good. I really like their coffee bar menu. That isn’t something you find typically in sit down breakfast spots. I had the cheddar grits and fried green tomatoes. I’m not a vegetarian, but they do have a decent choice of meatless options as well. Refommended.

First experience here. The Nasty Biscuit seems like the staple. Far from nasty. Was amazing. Chicken and waffles were fantastic as well. A little pricey for breakfast food but you get what you pay for. The quality and cleanliness was A+. Will definitely return.

I've ordered from SC often, but this was the first time my son and I dined in. Food is always great, but this recent visit left us feeling like we will not be visiting again. The waitress was not friendly or inviting. We felt rushed to finish our meals and leave. And, when the waitress was needed, she was unavailable for quite some time, although another waitress notified her in regards to our table needing her. We notified the gentleman taking payments at the register but he did nothing to change our experience. So on that note, never again will I spend hard earned money where you're not welcome, that's what we walked out with, feeling unwelcome.

The service wasn't up to par .we walk in got seated immediately. Then no waitress was appointed to our section I assume. We waited over 20 minutes to even get someone attention to let them know we haven't received a waitress. Peoples were seated after us had already ordered their food and drinks before we even got a waitress. Been here several times and this has never happened before. Nt sure if I will return.
