The biscuit and gravy were a solid choice the biscuit was fluffy and soft and the gravy has enough sausage that it could have been a side by itself. The chicken links were fabulous and just enough sweet . Glad we got to fill up. Will be back to try the rest of the menu.

The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and I loved that they took the time to decorate so nicely for the holiday. The inside was done really well and made the whole place feel even more welcoming. The service was undeniably great. The girl handling the coffee told me "my pleasure" when I asked for a half cup on my refill, which stuck with me because it was such a small but genuine touch. Our waitress was also very easygoing and pleasant, and she made the meal that much better. The coffee was spectacular, and the food was outstanding. The waffle was absolutely magical. Everything about this visit made me want to come back, and I already can't wait to try lunch next time. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

Service was top notch as well. They really made sure we were well taken care of! We loved the fun Easter decorations as well. You can tell the owner takes pride in their restaurant. Breakfast, lunch, they do it all. Will be coming back for sure.

Murals painted on 2 of the walls. Great vibe & energy. Friendly service & very attentive. We had chips, salsa & guacamole. The guac was $10. Huge serving. So smooth & mild. It came with pico de gallo. I loved all of the salsas too. My grilled shrimp tacos were amazing. The slaw & chopped mango was fresh & flavorful. The green sauce it came with was so delicious. Had a hint of lime. My husband got the last order of pork tamales for the night. He loved them. Beans & rice were great also. Can't wait to try more off the menu. But I'm already craving those shrimp tacos again.

We arrived late lunch hour and though busy were seated quickly. The place was still quite full and there was low music in the background. It wasn't too long before our orders were taken, Special Club #1 over easy for hubby, the Seafood Benedict (shrimp) for me. Rather than hashbrowns, I opted for fresh fruit. I've ordered this before, the good experience outweighed any negative and gotta say this time was excellent. Hubby enjoyed his meal as well (he usually orders a 2+2+2--we think that's turkey--or chicken?--sausage) and the prices are moderate. The fresh fruit was amazing. Not a tiny sample size serving, but enough to split with hubby and we both enjoyed. Our server was appropriately attentive, not overly so, and the wait was not long. We were very happy with the experience this time and regret not getting pics.

The toast was deliciously done, and beautifully buttered. The coffee was plentiful and adequate (we are coffee snobs - this is not snobby coffee, but not at all terrible). The service by Brittany C was nearly outstanding (Thanks!), cheerful and attentive. The store was clean, parking easy, bathrooms good. Go there. And then go to the Albanese factory for some candy.

Anyway, somehow I found out about this one and I put it on my calendar. And I'm glad I didn't talk myself out of going to it, as it was a something to do and I had fun. This was the inaugural year of this particular chili cook-off. It's an official event in chili cook-off circles; there's an actual organization that establishes rules for these events, and acting as an official event means that the winner gets to advance to another competition in Myrtle Beach, I think. The cost to the public was a $5 entrance fee for unlimited samples. They gave you There were at least 25-30 folks here competing and providing samples of their chili. While there were some I liked better than others, there wasn't a bad sample in the bunch. They had different categories for competitors to enter, and they also could enter a salsa. There were a few green chilis represented, which I think were my favorite, and a white chicken chili. I saw some unexpected ingredients in a few--chickpeas, potatoes--both excellent. There were at least a couple that I wished I could have bought to bring home because they were so good. People were friendly, and happy to have folks give their creation a try. There weren't a huge number of folks there, which was unfortunate. I hope that after we left more folks arrived so that they can keep it going for another year. This was held at a union hall with a huge parking lot so no problems there. If it takes place next year I'll be back.
