I did not think this place would be so good but it's found its way up on my top 5 list in southern NJ. Tastefully thought out menu that does everything so well, and it's not even that expensive!

Our service was OK, but they were pretty busy. My only true complaint is that it was so loud that we had difficulty hearing one another speak, which is not ideal for girls night out.

We all got the "assignment" right! It was so creative and fun! :) I had a bison burger for the first time and liked it a-lot! The side Caesar was very good too. My daughter loved her beef burger and everyone else that I heard talking, had similar positive reviews. Crazy noisy in here with other parties going on concurrently. It just added to the fun in my opinion! Nice prices and portion sizes. Great young male server was super attentive. Id come again.

Service was at the mercy of our waitress. Since this restaurant has been sold there are definitely…read morenegative changes. We always ate here, the owners were always present and were genuinely happy to see repeat customers. Recent Sunday around lunchtime. We asked our waitress multiple times for coffee. We ended up asking the hostess for coffee. The meal took an eternity and they brought our appetizers with the meal. Totally disconnected from previous visits. The food was just as good but the delay was ridiculous. I've spoken to others who felt the same way. Nothing turns off longtime patrons than inconsistent service and wait staff that is disinterested. We always leave 20% because having been a wait person previously, I understand the job. It was hard to leave it this time because it surely wasn't earned. I'm apprehensive to revisit based on two visits with consistently poor service. I hope the new owners pay attention and remedy the situation soon. It was always a great place to meet others .

We're…read morenewish to the area and usually brunch spots around here are quieter and more run-of-the-mill. This had the right music playing, high energy staff, and unique food options with great presentation PLUS it's BYOB!! SERVICE While I had already prepared to not be in a rush, the food actually came out in a timely manner and in the right order. (Cuz yall know soooome of these restaurants bring apps and entrees out at the same time .) We also had a newer waitress and she was assisted by someone else, so I'd say the service was pretty good! DRINKS Like I mentioned this place is BYOB (cue angelic music! I love a byob). They provide nicely presented mocktails plus you can get a mimosa tower that comes with a whole show lol. I recommend asking them to pour two bottles of champagne into the tower bc the mix is pretty sweet. The tower also comes with a flight of mixers and the entire thing can easily serve a crowd. FOOD This is an INDULGENT spot. Do not expect a salad. (But also can you add a few healthier things so I can come back more often?? Just asking.) Anyway, most things are fried, even things you wouldn't think of like deviled eggs, grits, sweet potato pie... (We had all three and approve haha but I do wish they'd offer non-fried versions as well.) I saw someone say the waffle wasn't cooked all the way in a review... they make theirs more cakey so it's different than others--still good. For the vegan chicken and waffles I believe they used an impossible cutlet. It's good and fried separately according to the waitress. I love that. Still, I am like 50% sure this is not a vegan meal. Ngl, ion think most blk ppl know what vegan fr is but they trying at least?? Because I'm pretty sure egg, milk, or butter was used so it is vegetarian, not vegan. Overall we really loved our experience and would have lingered longer if we didn't have somewhere to be. I hope this business prospers! I hope you support while also giving grace. We'll be back with friends. Can't wait!

Was surprised to have a short wait on a Sunday after church. Was told 15 mins, and it was about…read morethat time. Was escorted to our table by a lovely hostess, but that's when the stellar service ended. A woman came over to our table who ended up being our server to abruptly tell us to hand her the tip that was on the table. The table hadn't been bussed from the previous occupants, our server didn't acknowledge that, or greet us, or introduce herself, she just told us, "hand me that money please". Welcome to Jersey I guess! Anyhow, it's a typical NJ diner with an unnecessarily massive menu, extremely large portions, but still relatively fair pricing. Our server was clearly experienced, but she was very curt and not friendly at all. Food was plentiful and mostly enjoyed. The hash browns were burnt, and very different, as the texture under the top crust was like mashed potatoes and they weren't seasoned at all. The eggs needed salt and pepper also. The French toast was good. The French toast with apples was also good, but had too much apple and whipped cream. It was like a dessert. It's a diner so I wasn't expecting Michelin worthy food, but I was so put off by the service, it colored the rest of the experience.

Switched to a miller lite. Was given another old fashioned. Waitresses mistake and still charged for the old fashioned. His wife ordered a drink and it had a dead fly in it. Her other drinks were good. I had miller lite, so not much to say there. Overall it was ok.

I'm always looking for a good happy hour that has discounted drinks and food. $7 apps and discounted drinks as well (I don't recall the pricing.). We shared the chicken empanadas which were full of chicken, crispy outside and sitting on top of guacamole. The goat fries had a nice sauce, bacon and jalapeños. Both good- the empanadas could have used a little more heat (flavor not temp) and the fries could have had more of the sauce. The broken burrata salad was yummy just needed a pinch of salt.
