We walked in just five minutes before their closing time at 2:30, and I was apologizing, saying we'd just get a takeout menu and come back tomorrow. We were greeted enthusiastically and told, "go ahead and take a seat, we'll feed you!". We sat and ordered (someone else had just come in as well) and our food came out promptly. I got fried flounder with two veggies sides and DH got the same. Everything was hot and fresh and the sides were homemade and delicious. Our wait person was friendly and cheerful (even though we knew she was having stay late to serve us) and everyone treated us royally. We tipped double and will be coming back for sure!

The shop has the display cases right when you walk in the door and there is a little cafe area off to the right which seemed cute. We were greeted when we walked in and the girl who helped us gave us plenty of time while we decided what to order. I asked what her favorite thing was that they had and she told me the danishes or the cheesecakes. I ended up ordering several things to try: a glazed donut, glazed raspberry filled donut, powdered raspberry filled donut, cheese danish, chocolate chip cookie, and cinnamon roll. The donuts and cinnamon roll were given to family who already knew how good the donuts were and we tried the chocolate chip cookie and cheese danish. The chocolate chip cookie was huge, chewy, and had a great flavor. I think my favorite thing I tried was the cheese danish. The dough was buttery and the filling wasn't too sweet. It was a great suggestion from the girl working there. Also, all of this was under $18 which is crazy. Will definitely be coming back.

I had country fried steak with mash potatoes, green beans and hash brown casserole. It was satisfying and filling. At 15.00 dollars just the right price. My wife had the egg , sausage, hashbrown casserole a new menu item it was pretty good. At 14.00 dollars a nice price for a tasty breakfast at 3:00pm. I sampled a couple of bites. I will give it a try one day. Cracker Barrel is a tough menu choice because they have all my comfort food favorites. The service is always good and quick. So, we will return again, now what to get, meatloaf, chicken and dumplings, fried chicken. It is always a treat to eat at Cracker Barrel.

I came in, the host set me at my table. 20 minutes later an older couple was sat at the table right behind me. Waitress came took their drink order... The couple at the table in front of me, the waitress waiting on the table behind me, asked them had someone taken their drink order. Wow!!!! 5 minutes later the HOST came and asked for my drink order. 2 minutes later, the manager came and took my food order. AFTER my food came and I'm eating, the waitress that was suppose to be waiting on me, asked if I needed anything. I ALMOST CUSSED HER OUT! Reason being, she had walked by me SEVERAL TIMES. The restaurant was not busy, but steady. Nah, I'm cool on you all. I could assume another reason as I looked around to see the demographics, but I digress. Thanks but no thanks. SIDE NOTE: You're probably saying, why wait 20 minutes? I was working...answering emails, putting out fires and the time got away from me.

We started with the Pimento Cheese Hushpuppies, which I had high hopes for. They were a bit over‑fried and dry, with more breading than cheesy center, and the jalapeño bacon jam was watery and didn't quite complement the hushpuppies. That said, the concept is fun, and with a thicker, chunkier jam, I think they'd really shine. The Fried Oysters, however, were a completely different story. Perfectly breaded, not overly heavy, and full of flavor. My husband--who's keto and peeled the breading off--still commented on how good the oysters themselves were. If anything, we just wished the portion was bigger. The star of the starters for me was the She Crab Soup. Creamy, rich, and loaded with crab. It was one of those dishes you keep going back to between bites of everything else. And here's my pro tip: dip the hushpuppies into the soup. It transformed them from dry to delicious, and I even suggested to our server that the kitchen consider offering them together. For my entrée, I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with a side of pasta salad. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the Thai‑inspired sauce had a sweet kick that I honestly wish there had been more of. The pasta salad was classic but surprisingly good--fresh, balanced, and better than most versions I've had lately. My husband ordered the Salmon & Shrimp Scampi, swapping the pasta for extra spinach to stay keto. Both proteins were cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and plated generously. Overall, the meal had a few highs and a couple of misses, but the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the menu make this a place I'd absolutely visit again. With a little fine‑tuning on a few items, 2 Twelve has the potential to be truly exceptional.

Amazing food! Ed is a phenomenal chef!!!…read more My partner ordered an amazing seafood pasta. The sauce was excellent! I wanted to take his plate! LOL. My meal, the Charleston Crab Cakes, was really good too (I asked that they put the creamed corn on the side -- the crab cakes will come on top of the creamed corn if you don't make a special request). But when (not if) we return, I will be ordering the seafood pasta for sure because it was that good! A friend recommended the pork chops and the burgers. The ambience is quaint and the indoor dining space is very small and cozy. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived. I recommend making a reservation if you don't want to dine outdoors. It was January so too cold for us to eat outdoors because there is no heating and the overhead fans were on! Also, please bring a little patience for parking because this restaurant is in an area of downtown with limited parking.

Very busy on Saturday at noon but the "helper" cleared off our table as soon as the other family departed so we didn't wait long. Coffee was the usual WH quality and we very much enjoyed our meal.

I actually stopped to a location about 10 miles away in Hillsborough but they were out of cheesesteak. Upon parking, I saw several cards in the parking lot. Walking in, they had 4th of July type decor and grad decor. While waiting for my order to be taken, I overheard a couple tell the cook their order was supposed to be to-go but it was sitting on plates. Apparently, it had been sitting there for a while. At this point, I'm hoping I didn't choose the wrong Waffle House twice... lol Sure enough, I did. The cooks were over it. Im not sure if the waitresses were messing up or not. However, the cook was making a cheese steak melt but it was supposed to be without onions. The cook took off their gloves and walked on the back... I told the other cook and waitress that I plan to order one with onions. Thankfully I spoke up because that ended up being my food. The hashbrowns were over cooked, which was crappy. I mean, the cook did just leave it on the stove. The other cook finished making the order. I got my food around 3:28am. I ordered a sweet tea to drink. I proceeded to drench my hashbrowns in ketchup in eat. From information I gathered, I think the employee messing up was new. I don't think the cooks were very understanding. I kinda felt bad for her because she looked young :( While I was eating, I noticed that the time in/discard sign for the eggs wasn't filled out. However, they did have a 98.0 sanitization rating. I did watch them clean and restock items as I ate. On the plus side, my cheese steak melt was AMAZING! It definitely hit the spot. Also, the sweet tea was perfect. Overall, decent and average experience for Waffle House.

We got two pastries (the croissant was really good based on BF mentioning it) and two warm drinks for about $20.

It was pretty good, but not as flavorful as I thought it would be - more of a mellow pecan flavor We didn't get a chance to go upstairs to check it out, but the downstairs area was pretty cute .

Tip: order less sweet if you prefer lighter sweet in your coffee, like I do, as these drinks are served very sweet.

I had the Bad Henny with potato salad. Everything was tasty. My only complaint would be the bread kept sliding off. But that potato was one my favorites ever. So tasty. The rootbeer which they make was a great nonalcoholic taste. Overall seemed like a chill spot with good services. Very friendly folks. Nice spot inside and out.

The only reason I'm doing a two star is because my husband said he liked the brew choice and the bread in his sandwich was good ----- Updating given recent remarks in response to my review ---- I appreciate the response to the review, however, I want to be clear that I did not state anything to the nature of referring to or expecting pricing to be in line with fast food pricing... If this is what I was seeking, we certainly would have gone elsewhere (fast food within half a mile) I can only assume someone else has made this remark to the business in the past, however, the comment on pricing specifically related to the sheer amount of food given. i.e. my husbands sandwich had very little protein on it and relied on getting filled by the bread and extra side of fries purchased.
