The Jack Benny and biscuit with tomato gravy was great! This was my first time visiting and I thought the prices were reasonable for 2024. Service was great and the sweet tea was delicious. I also ordered a cinnamon roll togo, but I do not recommend it. The cinnamon roll was savory on the parts that didn’t have icing. It didn’t have as much cinnamon or icing as I would like. I would only recommend trying it in the restaurant where you can order an extra side of icing should that be what your tastebuds desire. I bet chocolate gravy would be a hit here! (But the tomato gravy holds heart. I’m going to try it with a little cheese next time.)

Our waiter Justin was amazing. He was very patient and helpful with choosing our breakfast cocktails. The food was great. We were seated right away. The parking spots are limited though… but if you can find payouts worth it!!!!

We went here because of all of the rave reviews and the back-story of the owner allured us. And, I'll admit, I might have set my expectations too high due to this...and the 3 stars are my way of saying maybe it was on off day or not my cup of tea that day.It was packed when we got there, but we were seated right away. Our server was friendly, but we had to wait each step of the meal, and even longer to get our check. The food selection was interesting and different than a lot of breakfast places, and the size of the meals were good.I had the Eggs Benedict, called something else though...and I didn't care for it. Sorry to say that the Bloody Mary was not drinkable either. They make their own mix, but I have never tasted a Mary like that and it was so off I had to send it back and just drank water. The bacon we had over-excited ourselves over was simply pretty good thick sweet bacon; however, he did try the mild version. Maybe the other version, peppered I think, is better.And, despite all of this I still would have gone back to try something different, and I still may...However, the noise level was ridiculous. The music was pumping so loud that my boyfriend and I, sitting on the same side and next to each other, had to raise our voices to hear each other. I don't mind "atmosphere", but this was straight up intolerable by the end of the meal. I actually left while my boyfriend waited (forever) for the check.*Sigh...a bummer on all accounts.But, everybody and every business has an off day...

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this book-ahead brunch spot. Despite visiting on a busy Sunday, the wait was surprisingly short, less than 10 minutes. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the atmosphere even more enjoyable. The drinks were delightful, and the food exceeded my expectations - it was truly delicious. I highly recommend this place for a wonderful brunch experience.

This morning we were served by the single greatest server in the history of the service industry. His name? JUSTIN. Justin is the epitome of perfect customer service. He was kind, tentative, personable, and very helpful with any questions we had. The food was excellent although I did have a few tough pieces of Chicken, but this didn’t even matter because it was more than made up for with the incredible service. Please give Justin a raise… actually he should own the whole store. Justin for President 2024.

The 45min wait for a table was well worth it for fantastic breakfast, at a decent price, & with excellent service! Also they have the small crunchy ice (like at sonic) in their drinks. I had an omlet with swiss, mushroom, &veggies, & they let me order a pancake as a side. So u can order whatever u want ALA cart, not just what's on the menue. And the americana (coffee) with caramel was top notch without even needing creamer!! 10/10
