    Went this weekend for brunch and had a great time! Our server, Casey, was really sweet and kept checking in on us. She also kept the mimosas flowing. $20 for 3 hours, def worth it. The food was delicious. We tried the corn ribs, Brussels and cheesesteak eggrolls. We also had the pimento cheese burger but subbed a grilled chicken breast for the beef. Glad they were able to accommodate! Overall, I recommend this spot and will def come back! Ps - the manager on 11/9 (AM shift) forgot her name but she was also super sweet and came by our table a few times to check-in as well!

    Great food and service. However, the acoustics were challenging. Due to the footprint of the dining space being parallel to the long bar, which faces the TVs, it's hard to escape the cacophony of drinkers absorbed in a good sports match. Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain downpour, we had to eat indoors. The food was awesome - especially the cheesesteak eggroll appetizer. Advice: if climate conditions permit, eat outside under an umbrella for the best of both worlds.

    Amazing food, superb value, great atmosphere and trendy vibe! Came here for brunch with my daughter after moving her into U Tampa and was incredibly pleased with this place! I had a Bloody Mary (and I’m a bit of a connoisseur!) that was one of the best I’ve ever had! We each ordered a skillet dish and customized to our liking - it was insanely good and my mouth is watering just recalling it! Our server was attentive and friendly and happy - he was the best! I’m a foodie who loves authentic cuisine and healthy fresh dishes … I can’t wait to come back again!

    Server was excellent. Hostess was a bit snippy when we arrived. The pizza and burger were really good. The Happy Hour specials were well priced. I would return.
