Came here for brunch with two friends for the first time in December, as an out of town foodie. It's an okay spot! The food was pretty good. Overall it wasn't super memorable or amazing but the spot was cute. Let's get into the specifics:
-Located on a busy street, you may have trouble finding parking, but we parked right across the street in a parking lot that said restricted so, it was risky doing that lol. There is limited street parking.
-They are somewhat affordable! I got the classic, which was $14.75, and is their Crispy Fried Chicken breasts and Belgian Waffles with house syrup and vanilla butter. I really liked the flavor of the chicken, the syrup and butter were good too! I also got orange juice and fruit on the side. My total was $32 including automatic 18% gratuity. Pretty pricey for what we got. We went at a good time, it wasn't crowded at all. Now that I think about it, it wasn't a ton of food and the food was served on like this compostable carton. It felt very casual but if they were more intentional on how the food was served, I think it would make a better, lasting impression on customers.
-Service was good, pleasant. Pretty lowkey, since once you order, they bring you your food. We didn't wait long for that. Other people at my table got the dirty bird and the Georgia peach. They liked it!
-We paid for our food and the gratuity first, which is a bit different. I don't like that it was automatic since it didn't feel like the servers did a whole lot, it was only 3 of us, and it was automatically 18%. Not to be cheap, but I think giving customers a choice and paying staff a livable wage is the best combo tbh.
-If you struggle with being indecisive, there aren't a lot of choices and options, so you won't feel overwhelmed with a large menu. Really, they only had 4 things on their menu when we went. I think if they could round it out to 5, that would be amazing! I wonder, do they still do salmon croquettes? I didn't see it on their menu when I went.
-Anywho, I probably wouldn't go back and i don't really recommend them. The waffles were like a kids size. On another note, the chairs were very uncomfortable too. I love that it's black owned, but they could make some improvements. I think I need to go to their other main location. This seems like more of a to go spot, and the other location is the more full service restaurant. Disappointing!
