    The food was delicious! The ambience has very good vibes! We had a reservation, but due to it being cooler outside, we were seated inside. It took an additional 15-20 minutes before we were seated. The service from the waiter was a little lack-luster, she didn't check in on us and kept forgetting to bring requests. However, overall this is an Excellent choice for brunch.

    We made a reservation and only waited like 5 minutes to be seated. Our waitress was very sweet and efficient. Our food and drinks came quickly. The shrimp and grits were amazing! The TN potatoes were some of the best home fries I ever had. 10/10 would recommend.

    The food was OK. The ambience was really nice, but they ran out of a lot of specialty items on a Saturday.

    I had the sweet potato waffle, with grits and eggs with smoked Gouda. Everything was great. This place does not disappoint. Service was friendly and attentive.

    The food was great! I also loved the variety of coffee and alcohol beverages. Even though I really enjoyed the mix of old and new school tunes, I felt like it could have been turned down a notch as it was hard for the server to hear our order. Depending on the song playing, it also was hard for my friend and I to have a convo even though we were right across from each other.

    The atmosphere and music were amazing. The food was delicious but the service could have been better. It wasn't very busy when we arrived but our server took very long breaks checking on us. 10/10 for the food

    This was my second time dining way this restaurant. The food was good and the wait time wasn’t too bad with reservation. Just wished they had more staffing to help with a better overall experience.

    Service was extremely slow. My party of 4 was there for 3 hours. Server didn’t seem to want to offer suggestions for soft drinks that weren’t listed on the menu. However, I enjoyed my time. Just wouldn’t rush to come back.
