About a 1-1.5: Whoever runs the site of this restaurant deserves accolades, because the photos and the descriptions of the food that we had ordered were nothing like them.
A large group of us came here for a late brunch, and we were seated in a separate seating area that had local artists' artwork adorned on the walls - this was pretty cool and was a great conversation piece.
I had the 'Award Winning Shrimp & Grits' - these were described as cheese grits topped with shrimp, turkey sausages, tomatoes, and scallions with cajun cream sauce. Unfortunately, this was not good at all, and probably won a Raspberry (for food) instead. The shrimp was not fresh, as it had a 'fishy' smell to it, and they were overcooked and rubbery; the turkey sausages were sliced thin and maybe only 3-4 slices in this dish; the grits were not cheesy at all and was gloopy, thin, and super bland. The cajun sauce, which should have provided some flavor or a kick, seemed just like a dairy-esque drizzle that was more heavy cream-based or something and didn't add anything to the dish.
In addition, my dish was served cold - it seemed as if the staff didn't know how to pace the dishes, and some were either forgotten or left out for too long.
Some of my counterparts had:
+Honey Butter Biscuits - the menu stated that there should be two, but they were served only 1 - not sure what that was all about?
+Jumbo Smothered Chicken & Biscuits
+Deep Fried Salmon Hash
+Grown Up French Toast
No one seemed to enjoy their meal, particularly those who had ordered items with 'fruit' on them - these were frozen hard and were unpleasant. For some reason, all those who ordered the french toast ended up with it being cold - most likely due to the frozen fruit?
Service was not that great - for a large group, it seemed as if our server was just struggling; not checking in, not ensuring that drinks were replenished, etc.
Also, an odd thing was that they don't have silverware, but provided us all with plasticware...
I couldn't believe how 'popular' this place was, but this place was not it.
I did enjoy seeing a mini Pac-Man arcade game by the seating area!
Plenty of parking in the large lot.
