    Yard Work Skillet
    Brennan S.

    Always good and filling! Went for brunch on a weekday and it's not crowded at all. I love that they spread out to Mobile as it's a great brunch spot! Ordered HUEVOS RANCHEROS GRIT BOWL Because no breakfast menu is complete without a nod to the rancheros of Mexico. Original Grit Girl Grits, chicken and pork sausage, saucy black beans, crispy tortillas, cilantro mojo, pico de gallo, avocado and two eggs*. "CATHEAD" CHICKEN BISCUIT Crispy fried chicken, cheddar cheese and sausage gravy. No better way to start the day. YARD WORK Two eggs scrambled, avocado, spinach, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion mushrooms, potatoes, herbs and Swiss.

    Shrimp N Grits with red eye gravy
    Brandi F.

    Tried something new!! Shrimp and grits with the red eye gravyyyy!! I almost asked for it on the side because I didn't k know what it was and didn't want to be a bother. But MY WORD!! FN FLAVA TOWN!! Gahhhhh just pour it over my body when I die! That's dramatic but welcome to the show!

    Fried Oyster Scramble "Hangout Style": My husband is a man of few words, he said it was "really good".

    Service was impeccable!! Everyone was delightful , helpful, and all smiles. Just the kind of place to be your day started right. I drank my breakfast, as seen in the photo. My husband ate every bite of his breakfast and said he could eat that same thing every day! The environment was clean, fresh, and had a home-like feel. The front parking was sparse and tight, but there is plenty more on the side and back lot, so parking isn't an issue. It's a 5-stars for certain.

    This place is consistently great service, food and everything! We sit at the bar if we can, but get there early or you may wait a bit

    Biscuit with Tomato gravy
    James T.

    Definitely somewhere you are gonna want to visit more than once. Had tomato gravy on a biscuit and the Dirty Bird (minus hot sauce) Both were real good. Service was great! The inside of the place is amazing. Even the bathrooms! One note: the biscuits are buttermilk and black pepper, and the tomato gravy is a little peppery. Still great but keep that in mind. Can't wait to come back and try more things!

    Patio seating on a nice day can't be beat. Service was great. My husband got biscuits and tomato gravy and I'm pretty sure his eyes rolled back in his head, in a good way. My scrambled eggs were fluffy and perfect. I wasn't a fan of the potatoes, but they weren't bad. Just not my thing. We have been here several times and have never had a bad experience.

    Real fried chicken and waffles!

    The food is amazing, visiting from out of town on a heartfelt visit, I had a bit of a hiccup on service but no questions asked taken care of immediately. Ambiance inside very busy and outside a chilly 41*, but nice. Definitely coming back

    Breakfast Old School Wrap and Side Skillet Potatoes

    The low country skillet with shrimp and biscuits with tomato gravy was perfect 10/10. The old school wrap was good also added hot sauce 8/10. Service was great ask for Bailey

    A good hangout spot, waiter was extremely nice and the food was cooked perfectly. Wife's food was also really good!

    Wrap with potato - side of house made hot sauce.

    So anyone who reads my reviews know that it is a rare near impossible feat to get a happy happy joy joy comment out of me simply because most place totally suck because of service, food, or both! NOT THIS PLACE! It's actually really good!!! I even waited until we had three full visits down before I said anything just on the off shot the place secretly sucked and just got lucky the first two visits. Currently on our way for visit number four and actually excited about it. The food is amazing and so far everything we have tried is good. We have found our particular favorite server who we like to sit with - the lady who works the bar. If she's not there when we arrive I may be forced to delete this whole thing - so she can never have a weekend off. The place gets crowded on weekends so either find the window (I can't share that particular secret) or bring some calm along. Great job BBB - I gotta say one of the few real winning places I have found.

    Look for this, I think there are 3 places in the strip.

    We stumbled across this place while out looking for magic the gathering cards. What a great restaurant. And they serve cocktails! We had breakfast there. He had the biscuits and sausage gravy (they have a biscuits section on the menu! His had 3 gravy choices!) I had the shrimp, andoulle sausage, eggs, veggies, cheese dish, I forgot what it was called, but I can rave about it for days. 3 jumbo shrimp, everything in it was perfect. It's small, but has efficiently designed seating, so you have room. Service was super efficient. If you are ever near it, check it out!

    Lavinna K.

    Another great find thanks to Yelp!! The food was so good. I got the breakfast plate with eggs over medium, bacon and potatoes and substituted the biscuit with a pancake, along with a side of grits. My hubby got an omelette with a biscuit. The pancake was different but super good, the biscuit was light, buttery and fluffy..the potatoes were crispy and flavorful. The grits were my least favorite. They had good flavor but were super thick..not creamy but I still ate them!!! I would return if I came back to Mobile. The place itself is cute. Wasn't able to check into the Yelp waitlist but wait was not very long.

Very warm feeling with indoor and outdoor seating. The pastries and sandwiches make this a good place for breakfast or lunch also.

    Carpe Diem is a charming coffee shop set in a quaint old Victorian house, and is popular in Mobile…read morefor a reason. They roast their beans in house, and the staff is always friendly. For instance, advised that my daughter was shy when the kid hesitated to order one day, the barista brightened up even more and put the girl at ease. Whether their coffee is good or not is completely subjective. I think it's good overall, but it might not be my first choice in town. But it's made with care, and as mentioned, roasted in house. Its popularity speaks to its quality. They also have a very good selection of pastries and other goodies to accompany your coffee, including a Mobile institution--cheesecake from a local company called Cotton Blues. The only gripe I have about Carpe Diem is their seating setup. There simply isn't enough of it. That said, I don't know how they could use the space more efficiently, since the cafe is small as it is. I prefer more private seating, which in other coffee houses I've been to has been accomplished with the judicious use of plants or high-backed chairs. The biggest component of the crowded seating is due to students from Springhill College across the street. Today, for instance, my husband and I were unable to find any seating at all. Even on the days when we can find seating, being entirely surrounded by people working quietly on their laptops feels awkward and lends a library-like feel to the atmosphere. It feels rude to have a conversation at a regular level. I feel like I'm intruding. I don't know how a coffee shop should handle this conundrum, as it's really not good business practice to limit customers' time while there, or to turn away clientele, even in an attempt to please all of their customers. There is already a back room which seems to be an unofficial space dedicated to students, but the overflow still takes up much of the cafe. That said, I enjoy Carpe Diem and going there is a nice little treat. I would definitely recommend it.

The service can be a bit unpredictable, and the coffee isn't very flavorful, but that doesn't stop me from loving it, mainly because of the Breakfast Brisket Scramble.

If you're grabbing breakfast or brunch, do yourself a favor and order the Breakfast Brisket Scramble. It totally makes up for the little flaws elsewhere.

Stayed anyway because server and hostess were good and atmosphere was cute. I ordered a Power Bowl called the Garden Breakfast Bowl (I knew my mom ordering traditional breakfast for me to sneak bites from). I was hoping for healthy crunch and boost to my day. The vinaigrette was too much for the fresh veggies, bulgar wheat and quinoa. I'm not sure what you would put on that power bowl but that dressing was not it. It had too much of it as well. The veggies and avocado were fresh and ratio of other fillers was good. I wouldn't get it again though. Like I said I took some bites of my mom's traditional breakfast. Eggs cooked correctly, bacon was too, Belgian waffle was very good- fluffy and sweet. Pancake was basic. Overall, the whole experience was basic honestly. I wouldn't turn down if invited there but not going back on my own.
