After we ordered, we chose to eat inside. This places gets a lot of foot traffic and is definitely a local fav! Unfortunately, for us, only the chicken tasted like it had some good flavor to it, everything else looked good, but was missing something.

The grits, which are surprisingly hard to get right, might be the best I've ever had. The bacon was perfectly crispy, the biscuit was soft and fresh, and there was more than enough for both of us to share. The vibes here are like having breakfast at your favorite auntie's house--warm, relaxed, and full of love.
