My first experience was terrible, the waiter was rude, and the food was subpar. I won't be back.
I made reservations for 12:30p and was running 10 minutes behind. I gave the restaurant a courtesy call, and they were able to accommodate me and my party of 6.
As we arrived, they seated us fairly quickly. The restaurant wasn't too busy, which was pleasant.
This was a reunion of high school friends that I hadn't seen in a very long time. It was a special moment for all of us. As we were all getting acclimated, the waiter Jaime O. came to take our drink orders. As I am quickly looking through the menu to see what they had, my friend interjected to ask him a question and he rebutled, "I just need your drink order," with the nastiest attitude. In my head, I'm like, "Hold up, friend, can I see what the heck I want and ask questions if I want to? What's the rush?!" Being considerate of the group of friends that I hadn't seen in a while, I held it back!
The drinks came out, and they were tasteless and watered down. They were not that good to mention, so I won't even bother. We should have all gotten water.
For starters, we had deviled eggs and biscuits
The deviled eggs with the smokey bacon on top were delicious. The biscuits were a little dry. Even with butter and jam, you needed a glass of water to stop it from getting lodged in your throat.
For entrees, we ordered the Southern Crispy Chicken Breakfast, Shrimp and Grits, Chicken and Waffles, and a Southern Cobb. Let's start with what was good... the chicken and waffles were really good. It was made with a cornbread waffle, which was savory and sweet. The shrimp and grits were salty. No Bueno! The southern chicken bake was mediocre, and so was the Cobb salad. The chicken on the Cobb salad was bland.
Back to the server, right after we finished our meal, literally took the last bite, the server asked us if we needed boxes and packed us up fairly quickly as to gesture "you ain't got to go home, but you gotta get the heck up outta here." We got the drift, and we left never to return!
The restaurant is big, it has a farm style setting with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a parking lot directly across the street with tons of parking.
The bathrooms smelled terrible. I quickly washed my hands and ran out. A little fabuloso goes a long way.
It's ashamed because I heard so many great things about this place. However, this restaurant was subpar! I definitely wouldn't be back. Try Just Spoons, Foxy Brown, Yot, there are many other excellent Brunch spots. This place is not it, and the service is terrible.
