    Great coffee and they had heavy cream and honey on request
    Sandra G.

    Fantastic restaurant with Great ambiance, service and delicious farm fresh food. Went on a Monday morning, wasn't too crowded. Delicious Coffee and they had honey and heavy cream.... I ordered the Low Country Skillet and it was large enough for two, came with biscuit and homemade blueberry jam! Perfection!! Hubby ordered the Creole Omelet and it was fab! Lots of shrimp and a light creole sauce.... highly recommend this spot and we'll be back

    Amazing place!! The food was delicious and very affordable. The Vietnamese cold brew was awesome. Our server was very kind and attentive. The inside is like any other breakfast place but the food was worth it!

    Katie D.

    Excellent food and service! Really cute place. I love that you can get breakfast and lunch!

    We got sat right away and the server was friendly. The food was really good and my drink was nice. It was spacious inside and had a small outdoor seating area.

    This place was fun, funky and offered really good food! Our server was so good, and handled our large party very well! She was so interactive and I loved that she was very sweet to the kids we had with us! Everyone loved their meals! I'm sure I would visit this place again if I'm in the area! Make sure you plan well as they do have limited hours!

    Plenty of parking but lot gets full with other businesses so may not be as close to door. Can join waitlist online prior to arrival to help with wait. Was seating fast during busy Sunday brunch time. Service was great and food came fast and was food. Nice coffee and latte, cappuccino options as well.

    Fried Oyster Scramble "Hangtown Style" Huevos Rancheros Tomato Gravy with side of Spicy Bacon
    Melanie S.

    What a great find! We try to stick to non-chain restaurants and while this is a small chain it was totally worth it. I was hooked when I saw the Hangtown Fry and tomato gravy on the menu & they did not disappoint. It was actually so good that we went back a second time. My husband got the huevos rancheros both times!

    Brûlées grapefruit, spicy bacon, Weisenberger grits, biscuit & soft butter. Fresh squeezed grapefruit with vodka!

    Everything is perfect! Breakfast & bar atmosphere! Like a dream! Find one and fall in love!

    I got the Mother of all biscuits, which is a dill chicken breast, cheese, and buttermilk biscuit. I wished I had upgraded the biscuit and made it a dirty bird (hot sauce, bacon, and honey) because it was dry and salty. The dill flavor stands out and differentiates the chicken from all the other chicken biscuits places. However, this needs to come with gravy or at least make it another add-on/upgrade.

He helped us with the menu, had some great suggestions and was entertaining and attentive throughout. He made our meal! We started with the House-Made Potato Chip Nachos, and they were fantastic--loaded with flavor and a great way to kick things off. We all agreed they were much better than regular tortilla nachos. For my entrée, I went with the Muffaletta, and it did not disappoint. The bread was perfectly crisp, the sandwich was packed with flavor, and the side of wood-fired vegetables gave it a really nice twist. She had the Shrimp and Crab Po'Boy special, which she absolutely loved, especially paired with the Confusion Potatoes. Those potatoes were definitely worth mentioning on their own. Our tablemates had the Shrimp Po'Boy and Parilla Steak and Shrimp and both loved their meal. And then came dessert: Beignets. Light, warm, and dusted just right, they brought back memories of the French Quarter in New Orleans. A pretty great way to finish the meal. We wish we were closer to Chattanooga so we could frequent this place often.

Our waitress was prompt and answered our questions. I was happy to see they had gluten free bread/buns. I ordered the Whisky and onion smash burger on a gluten free bun and it was so good I tried to replicate the topping with what I had back at the Airbnb we were staying at. When I get home I'll check out the ingredients better and give it another try. I had a side of green beans nicely seasoned with bacon as my side. My husband, bless his heart, ordered the honey pecan chicken salad sandwich on gluten free bread so I could taste it. It was also delicious and he had a side of home fries to die for. We would definitely come back and try more of their menu if in the area again.

And what a treat it is! The outdoor seating Sunday night dinner atmosphere is calm and content. String lights strung throughout large wooden beams overhead. Tables spread out. Decent seating. Not crowded. The wait staff appears friendly and attentive. But the food and beverage experience is what's most memorable - absolutely uniquely delicious and making everyone want more. To start, we ordered espresso martinis. Honey Seed served up a perfect blend of liquor, coffee, and cream. And a strong one! For an appetizer, we enjoyed the biggest and one of a kind shaped tator tots possibly in existence. The middle of each tasted like if a potato latke and a piece of cornbread got mashed up together. And the outsides look like fried onion strings. Best tator tots ever had. For our entrees, we decided to create a pizza combo, half bbq chicken and half burrata. Each so tasty! The bbq chicken side had caramelized onions and cilantro complimenting roasted chicken and the right amount of bbq drizzle. The burrata side had roasted garlic, spicy Calabrian peppers, fresh mozzarella, and the signature honey seed crust. We had leftovers and I plan to treat as many friends as possible to this local gem!

We ordered the veggie omelette and the Broadbent omelette, and both were generously filled with fresh, well-balanced ingredients. Nothing overpowered anything else.

Housed in a beautifully restored historic train station, the atmosphere has genuine character that complements the food rather than trying to distract from it.

Food was good across both visits--consistent, which matters as much as a single great meal. My son particularly liked the Brunch Sausage Burger. Looked good, and seemed entirely appropriate after a late night. Large space, tables well spread out, and located not far from downtown. Easy place to settle in whether you're with a crowd or just the two of you. Good for: small kids, business meals, casual meals, groups Would come back. Already did once.

There are tons of vegan options, and you don't have to look too hard for gf options if that's your jam. The store itself is packed with amazing health food items like mushroom coffee, shilajit, matcha, electrolytes, and so much more. They also have a refrigerated grab-and-go section with fresh juices, rice paper rolls, chia seed pudding, and a lentil casserole. The glass dessert case is full of vegan treats like peanut butter and chocolate cups, bliss balls, and donuts. The menu is extensive with tons of great organic vegan options. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough (they also offer gluten-free and multigrain) with cashew cheese and a side of chili. I also got a beet juice, a lemon lavender muffin, chia seed pudding, and a decaf oat milk latte. The sandwich was pretty good. The bread seemed really fresh and I enjoyed the cashew cheese. The side of chili had a slight twist that elevated it above most regular chili recipes. It was good, but had a little too much corn for my taste personally. The beet juice was delicious and a generous portion. The desserts were just okay, but I appreciated that they weren't overly sweet and didn't have any weird ingredients. Honestly, it's just so nice knowing your food has no weird ingredients and everything is organic! The only downside was the coffee. Honestly, it was probably one of the worst I've ever had. Maybe it was just an off day or a mistake, I'm not sure. Everything else was good though! I would definitely recommend this spot. The decor is really cute and inviting. I love that they offer plenty of seating options too -- indoor, an enclosed outdoor patio, and an exterior exposed patio. Logistical Notes: Parking was super easy with a lot right out front. There are two accessible bathrooms for people with disabilities, and I love that they have a gender-inclusive restroom as well. You order at the register, they bring you your food, and then you bus your own "tray."
