    What a cozy spot in midtown with plenty of outdoor seating. Everything on the menu grabbed my attention. I went with the shrimp & grits and was heavenly pleased. The grits were cooked to perfection and so were the shrimps. The chives and bacon crumbles were a nice finishing touch. The staff were accommodating and attentive. There are stairs leading into the facility.

    The good: the service! I usually order the Avocado Toast, the plate is good for the price. I have tried some other plates on the menu, with some inconsistencies. I would say it's a friendly environment with plenty of parking space, which it's always a plus for Downtown.

    Cheesy grits
    Jeannie W.

    Cute lil diner, reminds me of a train car. Plenty of parking outside. Friendly staff. I ordered a side French toast for 4.50 and it came with 4 pieces and sliced strawberries. My niece had the side pancake which comes with 2 for 4.50! Food was delish, made to order. Also had the cheesy grits which were thick but tasty. Overall I recommend this place for brunch. I'll have to come back and try their lunch/ dinner menu. Oh BTW they have brunch cocktails also until 3!

    Salmon omlette
    Emily B.

    We were driving by on our way to another brunch spot and loved the diner vibe so decided to give it a go and glad we did. The service was great but the food was next level. We split the Salmon Omelette and a side of waffles. The salmon was seasoned-not dry and the rest of the omelette had delicious onions, bell peppers and cheese and was topped with Avacado. The potatoes were slightly crunchy and seasoned well. We also enjoyed the waffles and the butter was top notch. This is a cute hidden gem and I'm glad we found it!

    Came here for Father's Day brunch and this was a cute diner. I love the feel of the old school diner and the service was great! We were greeted immediately and were seated immediately. The waiter was attentive and the menu options were plenty. Our food came out hot and tasty. I would absolutely return when in the area. The diner may seem small but there is outside seating as well. Parking can be limited but we had no issues finding a spot.

    Blackened Mahi Mahi Salad
    Patty C.

    Came here for lunch with some friends on a week day. It was a bit sad how dead it was since a lot of people work from home now. After browsing the rather extensive menu, I ordered the mahi mahi salad which is served on a bed of greens with jicama added. Asked the waitress for some shredded cheese because I love cheese in a salad, which the server happily obliged. The mahi was cooked very well, and the lemon vinaigrette complimented the salad nicely. It was a bummer to see how dead it was during lunch, but I'm not terribly surprised given the new norm of working from home that has affected this area's businesses.

    The place is located next to around the corner and across the street from the graffiti warehouse. Upon entry you will notice the menu plastered along the wall. You walk up to the counter, place your order , and then are given a number. I got the chicken and waffle with a side of bacon and eggs. The food was great and the place was quiet. A nice stop for a brunch on the weekend.

    The food here is amazing, and the staff is equally impressive! Sena and the Manager, Thomas, provide exceptional hospitality and service. I highly recommend this place to friends and family.

    $25 Salmon Kale Caesar Salad
    Keith S.

    Peeps. You know I don't do bad reviews. I'll just say this. Here is what they call a $25 Salmon Kale Cesar Salad. In fact it is a bland, dry piece of salmon on top of a handful of Kale and two small containers of store bought Cesar salad dressing. Proceed with caution.

    Patty Melt
    Hoonie K.

    We had some business to take care of in downtown so walked over to this restaurant for lunch today. Patty Melt - 3/5 - I ordered the patty melt and my wife ordered the Kobe burger. Both pretty much tasted the same. The bread was too thick and not the traditional rye. The steak fried were just okay as well. Kobe Burger - 3/5 - Just ok. No vegetables at all to speak of (other than grilled onions). Again, thought the bun was too thick for size of hamburger patty and other fillings. My wife "upgraded" to the truffle parmesan fries. Seemed like just the regular fries with a few drops of truffle oil and parmesan cheese powder sprinkled on top. Pancakes - 4/5 - Surprisingly the best dish of the meal which my daughter ordered. Food flavor, fluffy and perfectly cooked.

    Food 10/10 (I got the chicken chipotle meal). Vibes are immaculate, good music and friendly staff. Will be back for sure, super cool spot

    Frozen Peach Bellini
    Tish P.

    Honestly I would have never picked District 7 to eat but that's what happens when I put someone else (non-yelper) in charge to pick the place when I'm down for whatever. Typical diner look and feel, I mean unsuspecting cool spot but not bourgie enough for me...I'd pass right by it. That being said the service was really good, they greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. I chose a table outside and didn't wait long for service. I ordered a frozen peach bellini large, but really I didn't think it was that big so idk what the regular looks like. The taste was good. My companion ordered the bloody mary, I think she liked that nasty a-- drink enough lol how do ppl drink this! Lol For entrees we ordered from the lite bites menu which are just smaller portions of selected regular menu offerings. I went with the paella. There's a bit of a wait for this dish but I was surprised it tasted fairly well. Not the best I've had but added a bit of Tabasco and I jived with it. It was raining so we stayed longer and after that half portion of food, I was still hungry so we ordered a side of steak fries. Came out super hot and fresh! Our server was pretty good, not overbearing but she did stay away a touch too long sometimes. Also, she properly dealt with another table that was complaining about the temp of their food so kudos to her. My likeliness to return ain't that high, even though a couple of those pasta dishes looks fiyah, but it's a cool spot.

In the past they would bring out a bread basket, as a free appetizer like how some mexican restaurants bring out chips and salsa, however, they dont seem to do that here anymore. Service at the table was mediocre, our waitress took our drink order and on the way over, the waitress was spilling the drinks over the floor on the way to our table. After our waitress took our order, my gf did not get the mayo on the side as she had asked, and after we received our food, our waitress never came around to check on us, didn't refill our drinks or anything. The place was very loud, louder than visiting waffle house. I was trying to have a conversation with my gf sitting just across the table from one another, and we were having to literally yell at one another just to hear what each other were saying. My gf did state that the sandwich she ordered was a big sandwich, and was more than she could finish. Once we were ready to go, our waitress still hadn't been around to check on us. So I had to flag down someone else, to get us some to go boxes, and our check. Low and behold, when I was ready to checkout, the waitress appears out of nowhere, after all this time, I'm guessing because she thought she was going to get a good tip. I'm sorry, waitstaff only get a great tip from me, once and if they perform a great job duty, and this was not the case in this matter. Maybe, better luck next time, maybe Papas needs to hire better waitstaff worth hiring and keeping.

My daughter had the sampler platter with eggs, bacon, sausage, a biscuit, and grits. She loved everything on her plate (especially the biscuit!) but was very underwhelmed by the grits. I had them too and they were pretty bland and needed to be a little less thick. That said, the portion sizes are nice! One meal was plenty to split for my 2 kids. My husband and I split the Katfish and grits along with the red velvet waffles and chicken wings. The catfish tasted great, though it got a little soggy from everything else on the plate. The red velvet waffles were delicious, rich, flavorful, and a hit with my husband and I (and then my girls who were eyeballing my plate.) The chicken wings that came with them were crispy, seasoned, and hot, which is a winning combination. Needless to say, I would highly recommend stopping by! And a quick tip for anyone visiting: try to get there before 9:00 AM. I've heard that it gets lively and crowded fast, but going early makes it much easier to get a table.
