Southern Fusion (Formerly Heaven Cafe)

Brunch was absolutely amazing! I went here for my birthday brunch & I can say the cook really did there thing! Everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The biscuits and gravy were rich, hearty, and seasoned just right — comfort food done right. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and fresh, the bacon was perfectly crispy with a hint of a smoked flavor, and the French toast was golden, soft on the inside, and lightly dusted just enough to make it irresistible. The potatoes were well-seasoned with a nice balance of crisp and tender, and every bite felt intentional and satisfying. Portions were generous, presentation was great, and the food tasted like it was made with care. If you’re looking for a brunch spot that delivers flavor, quality, and comfort, this place definitely hits the mark. I’ll absolutely be back! 🥞🍳✨I heard someone order collard green egg rolls, that sounded different and cant wait to try out!!

Atmosphere is cute and service was tried but left us spending more time than we wanted. We picked the restaurant while traveling south on 75 amd don't regret it. The 10 minute wait time to be seated was only 5 and 10 more minutes to order drinks. 35 minute wait for food plus us at 1 hour 26 minutes total time there plus travel time from I-75. Your can tell quality by hour a simple thing like grits are cooked. Theirs are great. Everything from the croissant to the quiche is worth visiting amd paying high prices. Don't expect the discounts for seniors as they find any excuse not to give it. Other than that the area should be happy to have good food at a nice place to relax (forced or otherwise)

On the way to Tangers Mall and stopped here to grab some breakfast. Small and quaint place, the food was delicious, my only takeaway was they wouldn't serve me fresh half & half or plain milk with my coffee. They only offered the mini creamer cups which in my opinion is equivalent to powdered creamer. Other than that the food was really good, I had the Frittata with chicken sausage, my husband had Fried chicken with pepper jack grits and eggs. I saw alot of people order the cinnamon buns.

My husband and I tried a new spot for breakfast this morning- Southern Fusion in Locust Grove. To say this was the best breakfast I’ve had in a while would be an understatement. After just a few bites, I literally stopped mid-meal to snap a picture because I knew I’d have to rave about it. I even made my husband pause, too. He ordered the “Big Breakfast” but swapped the regular waffle for their red velvet waffle, and wow, what a genius invention. The bacon was cut thick, almost like hardwood planks, and packed with smoky flavor. I went with the salmon croquette over grits, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and delicious all the way through. The little cup of orange sauce on the side? Light, lemony, Cajun/Creole inspired, and absolutely chef’s kiss. Paired with the pepper jack grits underneath, it was a perfect flavor combo. Their country potatoes were also cooked perfectly, full of flavor. The portions were so generous I couldn’t even finish my plate, and honestly, I was mad about it because I didn’t want to stop eating! I even turned to the two ladies who had just sat down next to us and told them, “I’m jealous of you both… you’ve still got empty stomachs!” We all laughed as I bragged about how good everything was. Our server (I think his name started with a Z—Zayne? Zack? Sorry, my memory’s awful) was such a gentleman. He made excellent recommendations, treated us like royalty, and made us feel completely at home. As we were checking out, another staff member mentioned how great it is to work there, and how their boss is always the first to arrive and last to leave. That says a lot about the heart behind this place. It was surprisingly slow while we were there between 9–10 a.m., which honestly made me sad because the food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. I think this was around $35 without the tip. They deserve way more buzz. And now that I know they serve lunch too, you better believe we’ll be back!

From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted and given excellent customer service. The hostess was very friendly, and the waitress was awesome. She answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food and the prices were outstanding! The grits are amazing. I have never had such creamy grits. The omelette was delicious and so big I could not eat it all. And if you get the delicious cinnamon roll, make sure you share it with someone it is humongous!! We had a big group from church and they were very accommodating. I'm adding some pictures of all of our food. There were no complaints. Everyone loved everything. I will definitely be coming back here often.

Always hot and fresh food. My order even from DD was still hot and delicious! Their fried chicken on croissant is my favorite, pepper jack grits are heavenly! I was halfway done before remembering to give this review. Yes, it’s that good! Thank you to your entire staff.

Hands down 10/10! My friends and I met here for brunch and this place did not disappoint. Most of us ordered something different and everyone loved their meal. The portion sizes are big so if youre not a big eater or too hungry, it can be enough to share. The homemade biscuits with the sausage gravy, delicious!! The bacon, delicious!!! The customer service was stellar!!! I will be back again and again. Thanks Southern Fusion for an amazing experience! 😍

This was my first time trying this place and I can say these recipes came directly from an ancestor because this food is chefs kiss. 10/10 Absolutely amazing. I had a omelette meal with the cinnamon roll (picture of cinnamon roll below) Please try this place you will not be disappointed.

When you walk into the restaurant it's booking okay.. people are eating watching the game and enjoying life! Then this beautiful server/ hostess walks up and greets you with a warm welcome (Tiff) hospitality excellent! Once you are seated you're presented with this full menu of goodness! It was my first time so a regular customer gave me some tips.. anyway ended up ordering the crab balls and the catfish fried hard with the specialty grits annnnnd the colossal cinnamon roll with the lemon and blueberry. It was superb. See pictures attached food taste as good as the photos. I will visit again soon .

The food here is delicious, which is why we've gone back a few times trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, cleanliness has been an issue during every visit. On our most recent visit, I found a hair in my grits, and we also noticed that the plates and dishes were not clean. The staff has always been friendly, and I truly hope this feedback helps, because with better attention to cleanliness this could be a really great breakfast spot.

The food is fantastic with a nice variety. As good as the food is the service is equally as great. Down home southern hospitality!

This restaurant is consistently great! Food as well as service. I am a loyal customer because of great food and the attentive staff

On a Sunday it's hard to find a non commercial establishment for brunch. I found them on yelp 20 minutes from my house and it was worth it. My wife and I had the big boy breakfast and my 7yo son shad waffle egg potatoes and bacon. Very authentic very delicious especially the potatoes!

THIS Hidden Gem my little cousin invited me to will be hard to replace. You can tell every single thing down the the dang peach tea is made to order and with love!!! First of all, it was packed on Saturday which is good to see!! It's spacious enough for a Little party or just a date for 2. We had a little 15min wait which honestly felt like 7min & they even call to bring you in, none of that texting nonsense Our server was the freakin sweetest named Maisa (spellcheck). She was prompt, sweet, informative and welcoming altogether! Food took the amount of time damn good food is supposed to take and BOY WAS IT DELICIOUS. You really just have to go see for yourself!!! The dang Peach tea, the Candied Bacon, the freakin biscuits, the customized omelette & OMG THE SHRIMP AND GRITS! My mouth's watering just thinking about them and I'm not a "grits kinda girl" well... Southern Fusion Dining popped my Grits Cherry!! I'm making this place a staple to go to whenever I visit Town! 10000000/10!! I can't wait to try to rest of the menu!!!

Well, we came back here on a road trip because we had been here before and had left a good review. Disappointing. The waitress suggested a cinnamon roll and I bit before I saw that it was referred to as "colossal" in the menu. That caused me to change my entree order as I didn't want to get too much food. The roll was undercooked and kinda gooey (not in a good way). After pouring our first cup of coffee she came back almost immediately to top us off. I hadn't had a sip yet. But, then she never came back for a refill when I actually needed one. My wife said no peppers on her veggie frittata and it was loaded with them. The frittata would have been pretty good except for that. Won't pass thru here next time.

The food and service were outstanding! The grilled chicken sandwich redefines chicken sandwiches! The sweet potato fries were more like a dessert! The best meal of my week in Georgia. Don't miss this place!

I had high hopes for this place. I will say the service was great. The staff was the embodiment of southern hospitality but the food was lack luster. The collard green egg rolls had just a bit of turkey meat and no salt. Such a creative idea that just fell short of expectations. The dipping sauce saved this appetizer. The crab cake sandwich did have a significant amount of crab meat but it too was not well seasoned and fell short of expectations.

If you love Southern Comfort foods this place is a must. My favorites are the pepper jack grits, blueberry toast and when I want to eat pork bacon I come here because their bacon has a maple brown sugar type rub on it. Delicious food always seasoned well, great quality and hot. They play different types of music, have a TV on and the vibe is great. I truly love their customer service as well. Check them out you won't be disappointed.

My fiancé and I were visiting the area and stumbled upon this pleasant place. The ambiance is very welcoming , clean, good music. Service was excellent, from the moment we walked in. We were greeted and Zay our server was just a joy. He had a 5 star steakhouse service , 20% tip for sure. Food was excellent. As an appetizer we got the seafood boggers. Delicious. Fresh ingredients, cooked hot. We had the blacked Caribbean salmon and fried cat fish with the pepper jack grits. Cat fish was fried and seasoned perfectly. Blackened salmon was amazing. We got the Mac and cheese , greens , as sides. The blueberry biscuit. Outstanding , that's all I can say. This a real 5 star establishment.

Service and food are excellent! Highly recommend! I had sausage and biscuits and the portion size was ample! Wife had the frittata and we were both impressed.

Good Lawd! That mess was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! I had the catfish and grits with a biscuit. The catfish was fresh (not from an old frozen supply), seasoned well and perfectly fried. The grits...my goodness...best pepper jack grits I've ever head. This biscuit was large and had a great taste. Why in the world is this place hidden back in the cut in Locust Grove --- it should be out front somewhere! I ordered a to-go so the service was great with my limited experience. Run to this place! Based on this visit, it is soooo worth the game of hide and seek to find it!

Whoever the phone person is or was on 08/09/2025 has the absolute worse phone courtesy ever! Didn't know the menu items, kept putting me on hold told me something that i ordered yall don't serve.. been going here since they open. Didn't verify my order which im sure he had completely wrong! Get that lil boy on the dishes and not handling customers. Gonna run ppl away! This place was great years back now its run to the ground by people who only see the money and not customer service!

Black own, Food is delicious, Blueberry biscuits delicious. Salmon croquettes delicious

My favorite place the food is always great!!! Service is fast too fish and grits is my go to

Amazing!! Wow!! You are missing out on one the best in the Region. Customer service outstanding

Excellent food. Great service. My only real negative was the small space made it seem very loud. I got the French toast sandwich which was delicious and my wife enjoyed the croissant with chicken. Also the lemon blueberry cinnamon roll was approved by all. While we didn't get them the biscuits looked amazing and they were very large

These folks know how to throw down a fantastic meal. The portions were great, every ingredient was so fresh, seasoned, priced right and extremely tasty. Everything is made to order so your entree may take a minute so go ahead and get the Collard Greens Egg Rolls for an appetizer they are fantastic!!! On top of that, the customer service was the best! It feels like you are going over to your family's house for a Sunday dinner. They are only open Thursday - Sunday and the decor is not what you are coming for It's the FOOD and SERVICE that will keep us coming back again and again. It's tucked away in a small shopping strip, so use GPS. It's not far from Tanger Outlets in Locust Grove and worth the drive. Georgia's best kept secret. Enjoy!!

My husband found this hidden gem a couple of hours before we left for a road trip. There is a faded sign with the newer name of the restaurant over the older signage. Don't let that deter you from thinking the restaurant isn't there. When we came in we were greeted by Chris who was the hostess and server. Service was great and fast. The food was very delicious. I ordered the house omelette with ham and onions and it came with toast and grits. We ordered the kids plate for our son (one egg with cheese, sausage and fruit with toast). My husband ordered their sausage egg and cheese croissant. Everything was appetizing especially their grits. Usually when I order grits anywhere I have to add a lot of butter or even salt. I used less than a teaspoon in these grits and they were phenomenal. My omelette was cooked perfectly too. I will definitely keep this place in mind when traveling that way in the future.

Great place to have breakfast. Service is ALWAYS great. You may have a wait, but the food will be worth it. On this visit, I did carry out and had the pork frittata served with breakfast potatoes. Great flavor as always. The frittata sell out quickly so get there early if you want one of these. This restaurant is located in a shopping plaza and has lots of parking.

We had no idea this place even existed but boy are we glad we found it. The wife didn't feel like getting dressed so I decided I would get take out to try the food. Was it good? Nope. It was delicious! Wife got a sausage and cheese croissant sandwich which she loved. I got the southern fusion omelette with sausage, pepper jack grits, cinnamon raisin toast and an extra side of the potatoes. That was the fluffiest, lightest omelette I have ever had stuffed with veggies and cheese. The grits were different. Very creamy and tasty. And for the first time in this area I found a place that uses peppers and onions in their potatoes. I'm from the north where onions and peppers are a staple in the breakfast potatoes or "home fries" as they call them. Even with them being fried it makes a difference in the flavor. The place was quaint with a very inviting atmosphere. The service friendly and fast. The wife and I will be back to try this one again. Might be our new spot!!!

As good as everyone says! Food came out piping hot and seasoned to perfection! They also have wonderful service: very attentive and kind.

The food was exceptional. There was a group of 13 of us and every single person enjoyed their meal. Those who had the catfish and grits could not rave enough about it. I don't eat catfish, but honestly, the way that meal looked. I almost did . The service was also excellent. Our server was Maysa and she was phenomenal. She knew the menu, she had great grace and personality, and she got everything right. I highly recommend it!

We're from NJ and looked on Yelp for a local restaurant for breakfast. Food and service was excellent ! Bacon in sugar maple syrup glaze was the best!

This restaurant is outstanding!! We live in Roswell, GA where we are surrounded by many amazing restaurants and yet, this place would stand above the crowd. It's that great!! The menu carries a wide variety of breakfast choices and based on our experience, it was all fantastic. We had sausage gravy, pepper jack grits, waffle and chicken and million dollar bacon. Yummy! The service was outstanding as well! They can count on us being repeat customers. BTW, it's a little hard to find but your GPS will take you right there.

If heaven is serving food up there, I hope they have this on the menuuuu!!!! This place is absolutely amazing! The food is immaculate, the service and staff are very nice!. I love that the whole crew greets you coming in. Very nice setting/ambience. My new favorite place! I love me some shrimp and grits and by far this is the best shrimp and grits I've ever tasted in my life! The Belgium waffle just melts in your mouth! Everything is seasoned to perfection!

The restaurant is clean, service was great, staff was very friendly, and the breakfast is so good.

Excellent food. My first time having a collard green egg roll. Surprisingly, I highly recommend them. Philly cheese steak and the omelette with pepper jack grits were filling and worth a visit. Small restaurant but it was pretty much empty when we went. There were a lot of people picking up orders.

The food was fabulous!!! The service was fabulous!!! We took home an original cinnamon roll and a blueberry lemon cinnamon roll they were delicious. Thank you chef

Great service! Sausage Gravy biscuits was my favorite dish. Ambiance, very basic and down home. Chris was our server, great service.

The food and service are excellent! The fish and grits and that biscuit delicious! Everything I've eaten here has been great!

The food & the staff are great. The Big Breakfast with the pancakes & the pepper jack cheese grits are delicious.

Third time COULD have been the charm, but it wasn't. I keep ending up with a waiter who apparently knows nothing about customer service. My group of 4 was seated in the booth nearest the restroom (despite the dining room being mostly empty). The booth seat was taped in huge swaths - with the tape peeling off, making it very difficult to slide in. We waited a MINIMUM of 7 minutes for our server to come and ask about drinks. It was another 7 minutes AT LEAST before ​​​a soda, a milk, a coffee and a water showed up. To add insult to injury, the server put ONE beverage down, then turned around, tray in hand withbthe pther 3 drinks, to take a phone call instead of placing the other beverages on the table. He took not only that call but a second one, before bothering to ask for our orders. While (eventually) carrying our orders out, he stopped at another table on the other side of the room. The absolute saddest part is that the food is absolutely FANTASTIC; large portions, beautifully prepared, airy biscuits, and delicious. It just is painful to get the food to your table. The KITCHEN staff know what they are doing, but the FOUR wait staff at the front just can't get their acts together, even when there are only two or three tables with customers.

Believe the great reviews! We stopped by at lunch, I got the biscuit and gravy (small order) and an egg, my wife got the Florentino chicken. Everything was fresh and delicious, and my biscuit was HUGE and was amazing (the best I have ever had)! Our waitress Honey was sweet as her name, and she brought us peach "biscuits" (fritters) and even gave us a sample of their pepper jack grits. We finished our meal with a few bites of their awesome cinemon roll (and took the rest for later). This place is a hidden treasure, give it a try- you won't be disappointed!

This is a small establishment full of great food and great customer service! It's off the road in a plaza so if you drive by to fast you'll miss it. And if you do, you'll kick yourself in the but for that. We walked in and were immediately greeted warmly. Our drink orders were readily taken. And as we ordered our server had suggestions and was more than happy to modify items to meet certain dietary needs. The chicken was hot, crunchy and flavorful. The pepper jack cheese grits were creamy and delicious. I was reluctant to try them so I'm so glad the server talked me into ordering them. The salmon patty wasn't my favorite as I l like mine a little more flakey but it had a good flavor. The Cinnamon roll was huge and my friends devoured it. I only tasted the icing which was very good. (My sweet tooth was not in effect this day) But the star was the HOMEMADE BISCUITS!! Moist, and pillowy soft with a lovely crust on the outside and a delectable butter flavor running through every bite!! It was one of the best biscuits,, I've ever eaten. I'm almost sad I didn't order the biscuit and gravy. So make sure you check them out, you won't be disappointed.

My favorite lunch all week! Fantastic find in mid west GA. If you find yourself in Locust Grove you gotta go.

Nice mom & pop shop. Nice vibes. Our waiter was very kind, looked out for our table. Was patient and kind. The food was VERY good. Couldn't eat it all, very affordable. Parking was easy and the wait was not long on a Saturday morning.

Great food and great service! The best in the area! The grits are creamy and never watery! Chicken and catfish are excellent. Try everything on the menu!

Just a little store front cafe with Big dining taste. I wanted another happy brunch experience in the ATL with some former Cali family. I found this taste of Nawlin's on Yelp and loved what I read. The owner and chef is former military who later went to culinary school. We tried the Collard Egg Rolls, Seafood Wonton's and Shrimp and Grits. I also had the Mac and cheese. I would've tried one of the cheesecake dessert's but the one I wanted was so good it was gone.

Stopped here after my dentist about last weekend and boy am I glad I did!! This spot is a little hidden but it is so worth it!! Customer service was top tier!! I went in by myself and my server Chris was so friendly and helpful with the menu items since it was my first time. He ended up sitting with me and talking to me the whole time. I will definitely be back!

The food and customer service was amazing!! Honey was very professional and kind! My omelette was delicious, my sisters had grits with pepper jack cheese they were delicious and creamy. My other sister had a breakfast frittata It tasted delicious. I will definitely go back! I enjoyed the food and atmosphere

My daughter and I decided to try this place out after a random "food near me" search. I'm glad we did. We both enjoyed our meals. The egg rolls weren't my favorite, but my daughter liked them. My catfish could've been soaked longer to remove the muddy flavor, but it was seasoned well. The biscuits are huge. The grits were creamy and flavorful. The salmon dirty chips were good and the portion was huge. The salmon was well made. The colossal bun was way too sweet for me, but a sweet loving kid's dream.

Decided to try this B.O.B. out, since I had business in the area, and wasn't disappointed. I saw pics online of fish n grits so I went for it. Initially the pepper jack taste in my grits had to grow on me, but the savory flavor added to the creaminess of the grits. This appeared to be a family ran establishment as I think the mother was the hostess and the son, Tay, was the waiter. Everyone was really friendly and hospitable. But my favorite part of this visit was getting my food piping hot, potatoes and fish like it came FRESH UP out the grease! As someone who doesn't like cold food, I APPRECIATE this!

I will return! This was my 2nd time here and it was very very good m! I had the Shrimp and grits and my husband had the catfish and grits. Sean was our waiter and he was very nice.

Shrimp and grit & Biscuit and gravy was super good. This place is so homie feeling with the customer service. I wish they used real utensils but that all I can say negative. The environment was perfect for a brunch with the family.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, and the inside is furnished rather sparingly, but don't let that fool you! First off, the staff were outstanding. They all had gracious smiles that indicated they were happy to be there. The importance of a staff with great attitudes can never be understated. The food? It was magnificent! The French toast was out of this world. The pork and chicken sausages were WAY above average. Everyone in our party made a fuss over how delicious every item was. But I save the best for last.... drum roll..... The Pepperjack Grits. When you taste these, you'll be glad you were sitting down, becasue they are knee-buckling. I sure wish we were closer to the place, but from this point forward, whenever we're road-tripping to and from Atlanta, we know where we'll be dining! WELL DONE!!!!

went for breakfast and was not disappointed. everything was so good. food and service great. they did forget us and didn't acknowledge their mistake, so i was upset about that. our waitress was super attentive and kind, so i didn't sweat the mishap.

This off the road hidden treasure warrants its five stars. Unassuming from the outside we almost turned around but I decided to go in and check it out. On our way to Florida, turned to Yelp for a breakfast recommendation. Clean and quaint. My breakfast was tasty. I loved that they brought warm syrup! My partner especially enjoyed his Chef's (meat lovers) omelette with creamy rich grits. Service was outstanding, beginning with promptness of taking order and bringing our meal. Coffee was refreshed twice without our asking. As they knew we were traveling they offered water and or coffee to go! It's the little things. I recommend Southern Fusion!
