Even when I’m off I love to come eat & support!!! A small mom & pop place so yes you will have to wait on some days, but the food is worth it!!! I usually order 2 meals when I come lol. Because they are only open on the weekends. My daughter loves the chicken and waffle with spicy syrup or the steak sandwich! You won’t be disappointed!!! And you gotta try everything

All I can say it just WOW. My husband and I both got the Wakie Wakie with a side of sausage gravy and the best hash brown casserole I’ve ever eaten in my life! The biscuit was fresh and DELICIOUS! I see why they say “while supplies last”! Tara was an absolute treasure and was so sweet! She let us try the Loaded Grits since it was our first time and lemme tell you what, GET IN THERE! We will definitely be back!

I overheard my coworker visiting this restaurant. I decided to visit them on a Sunday. They only open on weekends. The whole experience was very good. No complaints. The grits and shrimp was so good!!! Service was great. Advise to come early to get a good seat unless want to sit outside which not bad because it's covered side patio.

I looked up food nearby while at my daughter’s softball tournament and this place popped up. I went with the steak and eggs special, and I asked for A1 for my steak because I normally need it for a steak when ordering brunch, but I didn’t use any because the steak was the best I’ve had for a steak and eggs brunch! Lots of flavor and cooked perfectly! Everything I had was great and I will be coming back!

Great food. Server was very nice. Loved the peach mimosas! Seems like they wait to seat people even if there is space so their servers don't get overwhelmed. 15 out of 10! Will be back!

WOW, what a find! Open only on Saturdays and Sundays from 8-2pm. These folks bust it for those 6 hours! We got there today at 11:30 and waited for almost 40 minutes for a table. The place is small and very quaint so the wait was expected from reading other posts. We both had plenty of time to review the menu and decided on the Shrimp and Loaded Grits. Absolutely Heavenly and worth the wait. Grilled shrimp perfectly seasoned and the grits were totally a mind blower! Full of flavor and I seriously tried to finish it but I couldn’t. I’m also all about the bathrooms as that’s a part of the restaurant that gets overlooked. Basic is okay but this was sooo super cute and cozy. We’ll definitely be back to try other items on the menu soon. Awesome job!
