I will admit the place is a little dated and doesn't give "clean vibes" but the hostess was friendly and so was our waitress. Even though we showed up on a Saturday, we were seated immediately. I did notice a few gnats but I guess that's normal since it's hot outside.
I ordered the Florentine Benny on a biscuit with grits and my husband ordered toast, eggs and apple sausage. The food took a long time to come out. Like at least 20-30 minutes. Also, I didn't understand why the table beside us got their food first when we ordered first. However, once our waitress gave them their food, she went back and got ours. The plate was hot but the food was warm as if it had been sitting.
I was going to use the restroom but my husband said the men's restroom was disgusting. He hardly ever talks about the cleanliness of restrooms. Usually when I ask if a restroom is clean, he'll say "I mean it's a restroom" so for him to say this one was disgusting, it had to be bad.
My Benny was good but the grits were horrid, they were under cooked and had zero salt. I also ordered a cranberry juice for $4 that came in a very small glass. After the ice, I probably had about 6oz of juice.
When we got our check, we noticed that they charged a 3% merchant fee. At the other restaurants they would only charge that if you were using a credit card. At this restaurant, they will charge you the 3% fee even if you use a debit card. The waitress said they will only remove the 3% fee if you use cash.
Lastly, my husband asked for sautéed onions in his eggs, and she told us there would be an up charge so we paid $1 extra and we were OK with that, however, when his food came out, the onions were 100% raw. Even though the waitress and the hostess were nice, the food was not good at all. I wish I could give the restaurant 2.5 stars instead of 2.
