Good but pricey! Service is great.

We went for lunch after church. New to town and wanted to try. Very good attentive service. Watermelon 24-hr brew tea was disappointing. We decided to order cuban sandwiches and were disappointed. Wish we had just ordered some of the yummy looking breakfast items. May...More

variety of menu offerings for breakfast

Great food, large portions, good service but tight and crowded. No good place to wait outside or inside because of limited space.

The whiskey bacon should be illegal!

Service was attentive and friendly. We ordered the freshly made doughnuts (outrageous), grits, a stack of pancakes (light and fluffy), and the whiskey bacon. Oh the whiskey bacon.......'nuff said.
