I had the Rustic Frittata which was even better than I expected it to be. The greens with it were just okay. Others in my party had the biscuits and gravy dish (which filled him up quicker that expected!) and another had the Trifecta with bacon and waffle, and a delicious Iced Mocha. That last dish, and accompanied warm maple syrup, prompted me to get a blueberry pancake, as I did initially want something sweet. Overall, I'm glad we came here over other options.

Pretty quick service for how busy it was, and the meals came out quickly as the waitress said the kitchen was fully staffed today and they were on point....perfect! I got the special they had, Steak and Eggs with chimmichurri , the flavor was AMAZING. The steak was so tender only need a fork, and it was a great breakaway from just regular steak and eggs, as you can see in the picture. Another plus was the fact they left a whole carafe of coffee so you don't have to wait for a refill. Already planning our next trip back!

I can count on one hand how many times I have made a negative post such as the one ahead, but the…read moresituation my wife was in this morning is the type that I cannot be quiet about. This morning, while at Momma Rabbit's Nibbles and Sips, my wife, our barely 2 year old son and a friend were told by who I assume to be one of the owners, that if she was not able to "quiet" my child down, she would have to "take him outside" for fear that he make start to "rile other kids that were there up, and we can't have that". My son, who, again is barely 2, sat in his high chair the entire time, threw not one piece of food on the ground, and sat as politely as a 2 year old could, occasionally cheering "YEAHH" whenever our friend or my wife did something he found entertaining. YES his voice was elevated the few times he cheered, YES there were SIX other children of varying ages in the restaurant all making noises (as all children do), YES it is a very casual restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, and YES there was a grown man sitting at a table near them talking on the phone, on speaker I will point out, for several minutes. So to say that both her and our friend were shocked would be the understatement of the year. We have visited this restaurant on countless occasions, with friends, with my wife, with my children, purchased freezer meals from them, done our parts of supporting a small local business, all to be told to quiet our child down who was making far less noise than many other people were in this restaurant. My wife spent most of her young adult and adult career working in and managing numerous successful restaurants spanning an almost 11 year period. I am appalled, disgusted, and saddened at this clear lack of compassion, professionalism, and customer service. And we wonder why moms are fearful to take their children out in public these days. We will unfortunately not return to Momma Rabbits, ever.

These guys seriously have the best barbecue in town! And their ribs were the meatiest, most delicious I've EVER had. Also, Roy's is where you will find the BEST South Carolina barbecue sauce around. I've gotta get myself a bottle of it. Anyway, I'm not gonna list all the different foods we've tried from there.

As always the food is GREAT!! Doesn't matter what you order it's all good. When Roy or anyone else is serving they are always welcoming and pleasant to interact with. The women with the facial hair, well her RBF is real and it matches her interaction with customers. So Roy if you read this don't send her out to cater anything.

Our waitress was sweet but you could tell she was screaming for assistant and help.

Hubby and I were eager to try some more options again but advised a lot of the items were out. Mr. Foodie settled on a classic burger while I got the Greek. Very tasty medium burger with Greek veggies, toasted bun and side of tzatziki sauce. Burger actually good and paired well with fries. Sauce could be blended more with the yogurt but great addition.
