    Whitley was phenomenal! She was the only server, but handled a party of 14 like a pro! Food was good! Kudos to the chef who was by himself, as well! Well done!

    The server was very attentive and kind! We were celebrating our sons 6th birthday. My fiance got the salmon and grits, he said the grits overpowered the salmon a bit but it was still good. I got the cajun pasta which was pretty good just a little salty and watery. My kids got the silver dollar pancakes, cheese eggs and turkey sausage and bacon. They both enjoyed it. My main suggestion would be to have a plain grits option for customers that don’t consume cheese. Overall our experience was a 7/10!

    My daughter and I visited in August and the service was very lacking but the food was delicious so we thought we would give it another try yesterday. We had reservations, but it took about five minutes for the host to come to the stand. He seated us, but then it took another 15 to 20 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge that we were at the table. Once we got our order taken the food came pretty quickly and again it was delicious. It took a while for someone to come back and refill our waters. Like this place so much because the food is good, but the service is just terrible. No one looks like they want to be there and it takes forever to be even acknowledged.

    Do hostess to see incoming guest, once seated waited over 15 minutes and had to flag down the waitress to get menus. Average food with poor service.

    The wait staff did not have anyone at the host table to take names, welcome people, or anything. I waited 20 minutes without being spoken to and ended up leaving with my family for my birthday lunch.

    Super cute place, really cute ambiance. The food was just okay. The honey biscuits were good. I ordered the honey and lemon chicken sandwich - it was okay. I was expecting a bit more seasoning for flavor. Overall, cute spot.

    When we walked in, there was no hostess to greet us. Once seated, we waited 15 minutes for a waitress to come to our table (and that was after I flagged down a worker and asked for service). The food was very good, but 3 meals came out at once and mine came when the other three were just about done eating. Large portion sizes for the cost, so definitely a great value!

    Great food. Our waiter was inattentive. Music was a little too loud even at our outside table.
