The kitchen, located right in front of us was fascinating to watch. What sealed the deal for a 5 star review was not only the food, but the efficiency of the operation and the teamwork and respectful culture of the staff. They operated extremely well in the tightest of work spaces. Pros: - you can try one of each Benedict!! I got one caprese and one bacon - highly recommend. - the fried green tomatoes are amazing! Either plain or in the caprese Benedict , try them! - the fried deviled eggs are one of the best I've ever had! - the pancakes have the slightest crisp to the outer edges making them one of the best I've tried - your soft drink will always be full , at least if you're sitting at the bar - large portions - stuff yourself silly or take the rest to go! - Leslie, our server had a badge that said she's been there for 24 years! She was the perfect server for the front of the house - friendly, efficient, and didn't miss a beat. The best!

(That's just me). I always order the chicken fried steak with eggs. Perfection. The correct temperature when served. And, they keep filling your coffee mug until you are wired and need to take a hike to burn off the energy! Anyway, you drink as much or as little as you want. Any time I'm hungry for breakfast food, I think of this place. Throwback decor, real waitresses, and energetic cooks. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, people are waiting to get in. But you won't wait long. But if you do, it will be worth it.

It looked like they were using olives to try to cover up how the dish actually looked, which was mushy and gross. Somehow it tasted worse than it looked. The BLT had scant bacon, tons of lettuce, a few pink flavorless tomato slices and tons of bread. It fell completely apart due to not enough mayo. All I tasted was dry day old bread. The waitress kept leaning over a booth wall and across me, to present things instead of walking around a few steps to the table to complete service. She literally was knocking things off my plate in order to keep leaning over the booth wall to deliver things. She then would just laugh and continue this weird reach thing for anything else she brought including the check. It was really bizarre. The final audacity was the total of our lunch which ended up over $40. It wasn't worth $4. I usually give an establishment a few trys before giving up on them but in this case we will never be back.

I recently visited this spot, and I was thoroughly impressed! The food was incredibly fresh and served fast--everything came out hot, right off the grill. I also tried their specialty drink, the Pumpkin Brulee Cold Brew with cold foam, and it was absolutely delightful! The atmosphere is spacious, making it a great place to relax or grab a quick bite.
