    Still a spot to grab a meal! Impromptu decision early afternoon and called to check in on wait and to be added to waitlist... graciously hostess obliged! This time happened to try Shrimp & Polenta (GF) with over medium eggs along with my favorites to order hot cocoa and brunch cocktail Percolator and mom got French Toast, turkey sausage, eggs & Roasted Red Potatoes For me, shrimp dish just need a bit more spices to give it more flavor other than the spicyness from the peppers. I appreciate the attention by the waitress Hannah and owner with another batch .. just wasn't for me! My mom enjoyed her chosen meal completely! Her mimosas flights were a bit much for her, so I got to enjoy those again too!

    Sweet potato hash - delicious
    Allison N.

    Delicious. I'm not a big go-out-to-eat for brunch kind of gal, because most places you just pay extra for basic breakfast food that you can cook at home for like $2. This place is a step up! ALL their brunch food was delicious and elevated the humble egg, biscuit, and even ketchup! It all was made fresh and well-seasoned. Ketchup and honey butter was made in house! Waitress was awesome too. Keep in mind you have to park in the lot across the street and validate your parking via the QR code at the check in table in the restaurant. It's free, but if you don't validate, you could get an $80+ ticket. Only took 2 min to validate, just need your license plate.

    The Homesteader had been on my list for a LONG time, so when my family asked me to find a restaurant for brunch after the zoo run that could accomodate a big crowd and take a reservation this place was on my radar. I was really impressed because they could actually accommodate us. I needed to make a reservation for a Saturday morning for 10 and after some research I quickly found that most places either don't take weekend brunch reservations or don't take them online for more than 8. Honestly I get why and it's fair, but it limited us on where to go. I was insanely grateful that the Homesteader made this easy peasy for us to book. The run was on a stormy Saturday and as we all finished the race we realized the rain (and thunder, and lighting) was right on our heels! This changed our plans a bit as we had planned to hang out at the zoo for a bit longer and let the kiddos run around. Instead, we ran to our cars to avoid the thunderstorm! So, what did this do to our brunch plans? It made us about 30 minutes early. We decided to go and try our luck anyways. My parents made it there first and the Homesteader was super kind and had our table ready so we were able to sit down and eat a bit earlier than expected. Now to the restaurant (I know, you've waited long enough!). I would describe this place as a hyper local, cozy, breakfast and brunch cafe. It feels warm, welcoming, and like it's been around for a while when you come inside. The folks working were honestly some of the best I've ever encountered. SO friendly, so happy to answer questions, and so kind to my kid. Honestly, they really made our visit a great one. We all tried different things on the menu and everything from the cinnamon roll to the benedict was really good! There were some unique items on the menu, and even the coffee came out tasty, which was amazing when you've waited until 10 am for your first cup of the day. Overall I'd come back for sure. The food is very good, it might not be the absolute best in the city, but they make up for it with charm, some of the best staff in town, and a cozy neighborhood ambiance.

    Look at that crispy bacon
    Rachel P.

    What I love: 1. Being able to make reservations 2. Normal sized portions and matching prices 3. Validated parking We had great service - she was friendly and efficient. The menu has so many options for all tastes. Our table had a burger, French toast, biscuits and gravy, eggs Benedict and chicken and waffles. Everyone cleaned their plates! We'll be back for sure - so many other delicious things I want to try.

    Farmer's breakfast: eggs, sausage, roasted potatoes and hotcakes.
    William L.

    Great breakfast experience. From the waitstaff to the food. The restaurant is located on the outskirts of downtown. Walked there from my hotel (15 minutes). Grabbed a seat at the bar. Bartender/waitress soon arrived and proceeded to pour water and share their breakfast-brunch cocktail menu, but it was iced tea for me. Had the Farmers Breakfast where the diner selects 4 items. I chose eggs, roasted potatoes, sausage and hotcakes. Probably should have chosen fruit instead of the hotcakes. The sausage is legit. Ketchup tasted made in house. Waitperson continually checked in while dining. Very reasonable prices for breakfast. Very filling. And they validate parking! Highly recommended.

    Chocolate filled beignets
    Sarah C.

    I'm not sure what happened based off previous reviews, but homesteader chefs today missed the mark! Where to start-- The chocolate filled beignets were too crispy but you can tell when cooked right they would melt in your mouth. The rest of the breakfast was over cooked, bland, eggs that should have been poached for the benedict's were hard, eggs ordered over easy with my farmers meal were also over cooked. Biscuits and gravy were good, - the biscuits were the best of the meal. The chilaquiles tostadas were "ok" but the egg was actually cooked right. (When I asked if she would get it again her answer was, no.) Pork belly on the biscuit benedict had no seasoning, and didn't melt like belly should. Their house made ketchup could be spectacular for those who enjoy the overly sweet ketchup. I will say my BIL said his Farmers breakfast with English muffin and potatoes was good. In a positive note- the bartender and our server are fantastic! Rey was wonderful- don't hold it against him. The bloody Mary was good, it's got a clam juice in it so if you don't like that move on. My sister LOVED her Cravin Cancun. Come for the bar--

    Farmers breakfast, chicken & waffles
    Marissa S.

    Wow! I absolutely love this restaurant. The inside is very warm and inviting, with booth or traditional table seating available and plenty of windows letting in natural light. The restaurant has that cozy, family-run feel - plus, they had a great playlist. I ordered the farmers breakfast, which is a great choice for those who like having options. With the farmers breakfast, you're able to select 4 items to create your perfect breakfast, starting at only $12 - I chose hotcakes, sausage, sunny side up eggs, and roasted red potatoes. Everything I wanted and more, with perfectly fluffy pancakes and deliciously flavored sausage. My partner ordered the chicken & waffles; a great mix of sweet and salty, with crisp, tender chicken and a spicy aioli on the side. So yummy. Our server was kind, and great at what she does. She was personable and chatted with us about our plans for the day, checked on us every so often, and always had a smile. So pleasant. Will definitely be adding Homesteader into my rotation. It's comforting, affordable, and delicious. An excellent breakfast/brunch staple!

    Scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, roasted potatoes
    Foogie W.

    Let me begin by prefacing the 3 stars are for the incredible service and the fried green tomatoes. I made a conscious decision to try this breakfast spot while pondering someplace I'd never been for our anniversary. I didn't want anything elaborate or fancy...just laid back, casual and comfy so THIS was the choice. Upon entering the restaurant there were a few others scattered about...not crowded, but not empty either. The decor was nice and I enjoyed reading the quotes that were displayed in several places. We were both greeted and escorted to our table with no wait. Our waitress was fairly quick to acknowledge our presence and let us know she'd be with us shortly. Quite frankly, she had me at hello. In that short moment she was very welcoming and pleasingly pleasant. I don't see a whole lot of that anymore so I was Appreciative. Emma was patient as she took our order and was helpful in suggesting certain options to us. I was so glad to see various vegetable choices on the breakfast menu. Fried green tomatoes were an excellent choice for starters. They were huge, nicely breaded, piping hot and hit the spot! Two thumbs up on these! The scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and roasted potatoes were not tasty at all. I can't figure out how you can mess these items up, but they certainly left something to be desired. The pancakes tasted better than they looked so that was a plus. The portion size was sufficient and I ended up taking some home as I am not big on wasting food. The ambiance was ok. The highlight of our visit was really Emma. She was THE sweetest waitress ever with such a Beautiful, WINNING personality. It made our visit refreshing despite the 'not-so-good' food. Maybe it was an 'off day' for the chef so I'll give him (or her) some Grace. Thanks Emma! It was wonderful conversing with you. Our time was even more special because YOU were a part of it. Continue being GREAT!

    I love that they have parking. The coffee was great. The staff was quick and kind. The food was a good portion for brunch and the prices were decent. On a Saturday morning they did not have many people there. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.

    Salmon Benedict
    Cayce B.

    They were pretty busy since it was Mother's Day, but we were able to get seated at the bar right away. The bartender was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, it was a good experience. I will say that the coffee was lukewarm when I got it. I got the Salmon Benedict, and it was very good. The eggs were perfectly poached. The potatoes were good, but unexpectedly spicy. And the house made ketchup was definitely different, not bad, just was not expecting the taste difference. My partner got the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. I will say, I will be back to try the Fall Pig because it sounded delicious.

    Tried this super cute brunch spot this past Saturday for my daughters birthday weekend get together. It was packed, so I knew immediately the food was going to be amazing! I ordered the chicken sandwich with seasoned potatoes. My grandkids had the kids pancakes and my daughter ordered the chicken and waffles. We also ordered the chocolate beignets to start and I had a mimosa. Everything was so delicious! They accept reservations and there is a parking lot across the street that is free with validation, just scan the QR code inside at the hostess table. There is a bar area and cute decor. The champagne bottles kept popping, meaning a great place for mimosas!

    I forgot you spell it but they are pronounced Ben-Yays + chocolate goo sauce
    Nate C.

    This is where I decided that it was time to order a bedframe and a new bedding set. I'm not sure if it was my friends telling me that's it's time I grew up or if it was the delicious food that matured me. The benyays came with a great chocolate goo sauce , I couldn't tell you what kind of sauce it was but definitely chocolate and definitely goo. i was sad at first bc we had to share one little cup of creamer but it turns out that we were able to share the creamer nicely amongst each other and we were even allowed to ask for more creamer which is just stellar customer service!

We explained why we had chosen the restaurant, offered flexibility about seating and service, and asked for a manager. The answer remained a flat no. With appointments afterward, we stayed in a freezing dining room just feet from the outdoor seating we had requested. There appeared to be only about three other occupied tables, which made the inflexibility even more frustrating. I understand operational limitations. What disappointed me was how dismissive the response felt. We left feeling like accommodating our request was an inconvenience. The service staff were fine. The food was unremarkable. With sandwiches around $17 before adding tots and drinks, our lunch came to approximately $34 per person including a 20% tip, before tax. For the overall experience, that was poor value. Our office is a block away. This could have become a regular lunch destination, but I won't be returning. Customers do not owe a restaurant their business. It has to be earned. A prime Power & Light address doesn't make up for dismissive hospitality. BRGR, do better.
