    French toast
    Patrise S.

    11:30 was a great time to get some pretty good food! There was no one in the waiting area and our party of four was seated within three minutes. Our waited was attentive. She checked in with us periodically. She made sure that the one who ordered grits had a soup spoon. Ask the food was beautifully plated and consumed except for the side of fruit which could have been a little fresher. The decor is consistently beautiful and we enjoyed the music too.

    Salmon and Grits

    I brought a friend to breakfast here an early Saturday morning (1030am) before the brunch crowd. We were immediately seated without a wait which was a first for me. I've been multiple times and never a complaint. It was my friend's first time and she hasn't stopped talking about it since. I always get the salmon and grits--it's my favorite. My friend got the crab melt which I've ordered before and she was not disappointed.

    Various drinks!

    Had a great brunch here! The appetizer was great (if you have the sweet tooth for it!). I loved my meal, the Cajun flavors of the shrimp, sauce, and hash browns were sooo good! Had a flight of drinks (they can be pretty strong!) would def recommend for a brunch with the girls, more the merrier to try out the menu!

    Brunch Board for 4
    Jerran N.

    Saw this place on Instagram and Yelp and the reviews seemed fairly good. We decided to go on a Friday around 11. Called on the way up from DC to check the wait times and was told they do not advertise them and that we would just need to come in. Odd to me but we had business in Baltimore anyway so we kept going. When we arrived we could tell this use to be an old school Wednesdays which wasn't a problem. Everyone starts somewhere. They have a grass wall backdrop outside for pictures. We walked in and they have several tables. They have a 4 couch waiting area with sofas fo 3 in a square shape. It's cute on the inside. I can tell they tried. We were told the wait wouldn't be that long. Maybe 20 minutes which wasn't bad. So far so good but downhill after that. Several tables cleared out however we were still waiting. We noticed there was only one person to clean the tables. There were several clean tables open however we weren't being seated. We then noticed there was only one waiter working for approximately all 20 tables they had. We were immediately alarmed. About 10 minutes go by and we were able to place our orders. We ordered the Brunch Board for 4 which came with 4 cut waffles, fruit, 4 French toast slices and 4 deep fried donuts. The food didn't take long to arrive and we immediately saw why. Mostly everything was COLD. The presentation of the board looks really nice however the food seems like it's either pre made or just not fresh. The waffles were cold. Butter didn't even melt. The French toast was also cold and stiff. The fruit was delicious in the center. The deep fried biscuits were good and warm. That is probably why everything else was cold. I also ordered a side of bacon that tasted fresh out the grocery store. It even looked cheap. The eggs were hard as well. Overall I had high hopes. This place has potential but they are short staffed and the food could use a pick me up. Our waitress tried her best but she can't overcome the large number of tables she had to serve and the bad food. We will never be back and I wish them well.

    Service was great. Waiter was very polite, attentive and informative. The food was great. Drinks were awesome. Let's say my mom really enjoyed her birthday brunch

    Hash-It-Your-Way
    Dwayne J.

    Amazing brunch and very affordable as well. Home sweet home is a black owned brunch cafe that used to be a Wendy's. They renovated It very nice with great decor and good amount of seating. Our waitress Mikayla was very nice and helped us out with her recommendations I got the salmon hash and banana pudding Salmon was thick and delicious and not on the fatty side. The hash was crispy and flavorful. I recommend asking for more Cajun sauce. Banana pudding was delicious. They use fresh cookies so you get a good crunch. Overall I enjoyed and will be back

    Shrimp n grits
    Shanell D.

    The food was disappointing. The chicken wings lacked flavor and were on the dry side. I tried to get some clarity from the waitress and asked how the wings were prepared. She told me they were baked and then fried, without breading. Cool. So I asked, "Is it possible to have them fried?" Because I'm watching plates of fried fish, fried shrimp, and fried lobster tails glide through this place like a seafood parade. Clearly, frying is on the menu. Instead of just answering, she sends the manager over, which felt wildly unnecessary for a yes or no question. The manager walks up and says, "The wings are fried." I said, "No, I mean fried like fried chicken. With batter. Crispy." She hits me with a hard no. No explanation, just no. The whole exchange was way more energy than I signed up for. As for the biscuits? They were literally Grands biscuits, fried and topped with cinnamon roll frosting. It was giving county fair experiment, not culinary experience. Overall, the food was aggressively average. Not worth the hype, not worth the drive, and definitely not worth the TikTok buzz. My daughter and her friend didn't even like the food. I'd say this place is for kids not for anyone who has a refined palate

    Salmon and Grits
    Sherri W.

    First visit was June 1st and the food was phenomenal. It was so good, I asked to speak with the manager to give her real time compliments on the service and food. I dined with four friends and we also just about ordered different items so we could try as much as we could. I myself ordered the salmon and cheesy grits (the salmon had the right amount of seasoning and the grits were creamy, flavorful, and not runny. I didn't try the crab spring rolls (this visit) but the ladies said they were good. I also ordered the fish nuggets. They were delicious as well as the accompanying sauce. I tried my girlfriend's wings, scrambled eggs, and fried biscuit. To wash it all I down I indulged in the Pick 3 flight of adult beverages. The drinks were "drinking". I like my drinks strong and tasty without the burn and they did not miss. Now fast forward to June 22nd, I'm back in town for an event and before heading home, I come back for a second visit. This time I ordered the crab spring rolls, chicken and waffles, and crab fried rice To-Go. The spring rolls were delicious and even more so with the dipping sauce which I believe was a sweet chili sauce. My waffles were light and fluffy (yum) and the chicken were cooked all the way through without having to say "fry them hard". During my first visit, two of my girlfriends ordered the crab fried rice to go and said it was very good so I ordered it to take home. I wasn't a fan. It was okay. It just didn't taste as good as I expected it to. It was missing some seasoning so it fell flat for me.

    Southern style Fish & grits

    My wife and I went to the restaurant and had a great experience. The restaurant had a nice vibe and a welcoming atmosphere. Our server was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout the evening. The food was very good, and the portion sizes were definitely worth the price.

    Grilled lamb chops , kale , shrimp fried rice and butter biscuit .
    DurShawn R.

    I travel for food... and Homesweethome never misses! This is the spot when I'm craving those juicy lamb chops, cinnamon-fried strawberry biscuits (not pictured but unforgettable), kale & shrimp fried rice, and that salmon BLT -- hold the bacon, add grilled shrimp instead. Every dish hits just right! The staff is always friendly, the vibe is cozy, and the service stays on point. Pro tip: make a reservation -- the food, ambiance, and even the parking are all chef's kiss. Great for brunch or lunch .

    Brunch Board for 2

    Honestly, I really wish I could give this place more stars, because I'm sure it deserves it, from someone else. For starters, couldn't initially find the location and then realized it's inside of an old Wendy's. We walked inside and there were 4-5 open tables and she asked if we had a reservation and I told her we did not, she said the wait would be 30 - 45 minutes. We watched the same tables remain empty whilst waiting over an hour. Multiple people went inside to attempt to be seated but they were also told the same thing. Some opted to wait like us, but many left. Over an hour later we finally receive a text message saying the table is ready, even after watching other groups put their names down after us and be seated before us. We go inside and we still have to wait almost 10 minutes to be seated and another 10 minutes of the host coming to take our order, because our server was too busy. Our server walked by us 3 times and said she would be over in a minute, and that was before any greetings or anything. Now on to the food. Bacon egg n cheese 7/10 Not worth the price with no sides or anything Brunch board for 2 5/10 It looks aesthetically pleasing, but the waffle was hard, the "deep fried biscuits" taste like an old fashioned donut, the French toast was okay, but the fruit in the middle was good. Grits 0/10 I do not like chicken broth nor heavy cream in my grits, if you're going to add chicken products to your grits, please advise your customers ! They advised they would take it off the bill, but they did not so I had to remind them Shrimp & grits 2/10 Shrimp was okay minimal for price point and paired with those god awful grits, big no for me Fried fish bites 8/10 Was just fried whiting but it was seasoned and fried really well, and paired good with the provided remoulade. Hash browns 3/10 They were like ihop shredded hash-browns but more oily and burnt. Passion fruit margarita 1/10 Taste like sour mix, cup was extremely sticky from rim and did not taste like passion fruit. The four couches seated in the front of the restaurant are pointless, and could be replaced with more seating to eat. Idk if I'd return because they acted as if they didn't want my money from start to finish. I had to ask the waiter to pay 3 times, most people would've walked out. Hope they're able to get it together because there's definitely potential here, especially if they get better help and customer service.

    Food was ok I been hearing a lot about this place I couldn't wait to try it but I was disappointed the taste wasn't there for me but the service was good

    Lemon drop and green tea cocktail
    Mercedes M.

    This place was absolutely amazing. The service absolutely amazing everyone was so kind and sweet! Our server was quick to help us out and she also gave us recommendations! Me and my husband got the french toast and southern shrimp grits and both were 10 out of 10. This place cooked home cooked meals and it felt like they were all made with love! The ambiance was very cute I would say the area where you get the food could be more cuter but overall this experience was 10/10.

    My friend suggested going here. When we arrived they said it was a 45 minute wait but they got us…read moreseated in about 25 minutes. They were turning tables over pretty quick. It is a very small restaurant but it works. I will be honest everything that I saw come out looked amazing. I order a chorizo with ham, pineapple, jalapeño and cheese quesadilla. Hear me out when I say it was delicious. The sweet balanced that heat. If you not a heat lover, please don't order. The hash was perfectly crispy on the outside but perfect baked potato vibe in the middle. Two snaps for that . I ordered the cinnamon crunch French toast as well and it was very good but not crispy enough for me. I like mine very crispy. It was good but would have been great cooked a little longer. (Personal preference tho). The server was very nice and made great recommendations for my friend's food. I would definitely visit here again.

    The best breakfast I have ever had…read more I don't even know where to start. But if you are ever in Baltimore, this is an absolute must. Anytime I within 2 hours of the area I will be making time to come back here The Sweet Baby Jesus. The crispiest hashbrowns I ever had loaded with jumbo lump crab meat, cheese and perfectly poached eggs. When I come back I'm getting the crab Benedict on top of those biscuits The biscuits and gravy. I h have never had a bustin or gravy so good in my life. I genuinely think the gravy almost ruined the biscuit for how perfect that was. It was cutting like butter with a spoon and I could eat a dozen of those without anything The Captain Crunch French Toast. This is what got Guy Fieri here back in 08. Idk how the entirety of this was so perfectly coated to get that crunch with a fully cooked and soft inside still. Unbelievable The Pina Colada French Toast. Coated and cooked in toasted coconuts shavings topped with white chocolate mousse caramelized, banana and pineapple. The was the one we were iffy on and I can't even imagine not getting this next time I go back The cinnamon roll. I don't even need to speak on this. Just look at it I simply cannot believe how astonishing this spot was in every aspect. I will be making it out here at least once a year guaranteed and then whenever I can find an excuse to This was truly proper perfection The inside is VERY limited in seating and gets packed fast. If you wanna sit down, Arrive accordingly and early. Inside decor was giving Edgar Allan Poe. Lots of cool art
