    Sweet Heat Chicken and French Toast Bites
    Sam S.

    Cute little spot. Waitress was friendly. Drinks were strong. Food was pretty good. I had the chicken and french toast bites. Pretty delish, it has a good balance of sweat and heat. I also had the espresso martini. It definitely put some hair on my chest and my partner had the whipped pineapple mimosa. It sounds good but tasted different. Overall though, it's a place worth checking out.

    Chicken St. Charles Benedict Eggs Cochon Benedict  Chicken st Charles Benny was an all timer. So good! I love that you can mix.

    Best breakfast I've had in a while! So many great options that are a little different than the average breakfast spots. The flavor in all the sauces was great!

    Florentine Omelet - yummm goat cheese
    Ali S.

    Great spot! Got here early in the morning so not busy at all. Our waitress was so sweet and even reached out to a friend to help us with questions we had about a local distillery. This breakfast was my favorite from our entire trip. The goat cheese in the Florentine omelette was fantastic! And the homemade biscuit was muahhh! Food came out quickly and the cook (maybe also the owner or manager?) came out to check in on how he did with the food. Tons of seating, cute little details in the decor all around, even fun wallpaper in the bathroom. Fun spot, definitely stop in if you can.

    Vanilla latte, Fried Green Tomatoes Starter
    David M.

    Delicious! I ordered the fried green tomatoes, the Cuban breakfast bowl, and an iced vanilla latte. Fried green tomatoes were well done, good toppings. They are tasty, but the fried green tomato wasn't the star of the show. Cuban bowl was yummy! A dash of hot sauce and it was perfection. Hot sauce was already on the table. Came with these fried plantain chips. Would have preferred real fried plantains. Chips were tasteless and useless. Vanilla latte was tasty, but the cup was overfilled with ice so I might have gotten 4 oz of drink. Overall a lot of delightful flavors, great service, and a few improvements to the food plan would be welcome.

    Our server was amazing, and the suggestions he gave were 10/10. The menu honestly had a ton of great options to choose from, the food was delicious. We will for sure be back to try out more menu items

    Chicken St. Charles Benedict

    Great option for breakfast in Chattanooga! The service was really great and fast. Lots of options for sitting at a booth table or even outdoors with umbrellas. They have a full mimosa menu and brunch options.

    Lovely kick-start to our return drive to Florida! Home style and so gratifying! Everything is fresh and tasty! Our group was satisfied!

    Food was absolutely delicious! I love a place that served migas and they did not disappoint. The Benny was delicious too, as were the peach cobbler beignets (the actual best part of the meal!). We sat on the patio and it was absolutely lovely. Service was great too! The only downfall, and the reason for the 1 star deduction was the cocktails (well mocktails). They were highlighted on the menu and were both undrinkable. They tasted old, watered down, just absolutely terrible. And expensive! I highly suggest going for the food, but would skip the expensive specialty drinks.

    Gluten free Tater Tots and gluten free Southern BLT
    Lisa M.

    Okay, this place surprised me! I went in with low expectations for a chain restaurant. There is an allergen menu (gluten friendly, vegetarian, keto, dairy). SO MANY options. I ordered the southern BLT gluten free on gluten free bread with a side of tater tots. It was excellent. GF bread was surprisingly a decent size! I would definitely return and highly recommend! Excellent food and customer service!

    Loved, loved, loved Ruby Sunshine so much! We were only in town for one night, and before we hit the road to drive back to Knoxville we decided to stop for breakfast at Ruby Sunshine. Talk about the highlight of our overnight stay! A truly wonderful meal. My friend and I started off with cocktails (I had the blood orange mimosa, and she had the amaretto iced coffee) that were excellent and really set the tone. Not a bad bite for me throughout the meal. We ordered the apple pie beignets to share, and I had the florentine omelet and my friend had the sweet heat chicken with grits and brussels. The side salad for my omelet was not dressed, but other than that no issue in my meal. I checked in with yelp and got a free starter, so we added the fried green tomatoes to our meal. Mixed review on that as my friend was not a fan, but I liked them a lot. Overall, this was a great place for a casual weekend brunch. If I find myself back in Chattanooga, I will be returning.

    Biscuits and gravy with bacon and eggs

    Very polite staff and fantastic food. The manager even made rounds and checked on everyone. Best breakfast food I have had in a while

    Driving through the Nooga and we needed breakfast. VERY happy with this place! Our server was kind and knew the menu. If you're coming here, try their award winner options, like we did. Don't go basic, be adventurous. The menu rewards you!

    Great food, coffee, and service! Everything we ordered came out pretty quickly and was delicious. Can't go wrong.

One time my parents and I came here after dinner for their gelato, and it was so delicious. We were all very impressed with the consistency and how smooth it was. So I've only had their gelato after all these years. This time I came for brunch with a friend on Sunday morning. It was packed and we got on the waiting list for a table. Wait time wasn't too bad actually. My friend and I both ordered the Hodgepodge Hash and I subbed the sausage for chicken sausage. Everything was absolutely amazing. I wish I had come here sooner. I loved everything about my meal. It was flavorful, dynamic, full of texture. It had that spice from the serrano peppers, crispy and flavorful potatoes, and the sauce tied it all together. I love savory breakfast, and that was it. Now I'm hungry and missing my previous meal just writing about it haha. Afterwards, we got gelato! I was pleasantly surprised that the gelato came with two scoops because I originally just wanted the coffee flavored one. So I had a scoop of Coffee + Cream and Pistachio. Our gelato was so tasty. I love anything coffee so this one was good, and the Pistachio one was nice and light. It had a subtle Pistachio creamy taste. Just as before, the gelato was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. Service was great, our waiter was very friendly and super helpful with our food preferences. I have no complaints at all about our experience, and I love every single thing we ordered. I can't imagine a better place to spend Sunday brunch. I look forward to the next time I'm back, thank you!

    Please take this review with a grain of salt. Today was probably not an exemplary day for Milk &…read moreHoney. Mother's Days are challenging, but I think where they hurt themselves the most is that they do not have a method to take reservations or even call ahead seating. Wait times were often in excess of an hour listening to other people waiting to be seated. That's a horrible experience on its face, and the management of this restaurant needs to do much much better or just close on Mother's Day. Next, we'll get to the food. I doubt it was a shining example of what they are capable of. I got the Shakshuka and it was mediocre. I'm not expecting it to be as good as what I would get in Tel Aviv, and I've had the real thing in Tel Aviv. But to be honest, the eggs came out nearly hard-boiled not poached. And the eggs are one of the stars of the show for this dish. If you don't get them right, the entire dish fails. Next will touch on the chicken and waffles. The observation from my tablemate was that it was dry and he didn't even eat it all. The same thing can be said for my other tablemate who had the chicken biscuit. The biscuit was exemplary, but the chicken was dry and actually overcooked. Then there were the omelettes, I don't believe they were impressive in any way and the people that ordered them agree. For those of us at the table that ordered coffee, it was rather strong. I normally like strong coffee, but this was borderline Turkish coffee, and there wasn't enough cream available to mask the potency. The service was also stretched thin. Our server, Destiny, did her best, but she was waiting too many tables. Having once been a waitermyself I have a special affinity for Service staff who are asked to do too much. We left her a good tip, but I'm sure she is capable of much better service than what she was allowed to deliver. Finally, the overwhelming crowd made the restaurant feel claustrophobic. The noise level was far too high, and we could barely hear one another at our table and we were sitting very close to one another. I don't place the blame on the kitchen, staff, or the wait staff, or even the greeters. This was a fail of management, plain and simple. They made no contingency plans for that many people and should have anticipated a larger crowd on Mother's Day. Management -I challenge you to do better!!! We will come back during a normal Service day to see if you can perform better, but I encourage you, as owners and managers, to stop setting your staff up for failure, which is what you did!

I wasn't too sure where to stand when I entered off the patio side on this lovely early afternoon, but when I figured out where the hosting station was, I was welcomed and seated in a spot I would have chosen for myself. Sometimes people sit single dudes in odd spots because maybe they don't think we care about kitchen doors and dark corners, but I had a really nice table where I could soak up the retro revamped vibe. I doubled the eggs order to four and chose the bacon and added a side of stewed black beans (so glad I did). First, I started with a glass of Beaujolais, which was quite nice. When the food arrived, the first thing that struck me was that I got cold butter in its own nice tin. I can't tell you how uncommon this is, even in finer dining. Usually, you get olive oil instead of butter, and if you ask for butter, it's in one of those wrappers. This was the real thing, not whipped, and I didn't have to ask specially for it. The eggs were delicate and seasoned beautifully, and the bacon was hearty and high-end and crispy. The grits are unbelievable, and the stewed beans are homemade and subtle, smooth as butter. I was amazed; the sides were really at the forefront. The kitchen isn't fast, so don't be in a hurry when you're here. Even the glass of wine took a few, and it was not busy. But it's also a nice place to relax and soak up the ambience, either indoors or out. And I appreciated that the food was so well made that I didn't mind the wait. Hats off to Stafford, who was my server. She checked up on me frequently. She was efficient and personable. They are lucky to have her! I had a beautifully crafted cortado espresso at the end, served traditionally with the fizzy water on the side. This is my favorite espresso as it is a strong pour but has just a bit of hot milk at the top to cut the acidity. It was excellent. Frankly, I was impressed they even knew what it was, so if you're just getting coffee, they'll also be the right place. I obviously recommend this place for its food, ambience, service. It was a treat and I hope to go back next time I'm in town.

Food was good across both visits--consistent, which matters as much as a single great meal. My son particularly liked the Brunch Sausage Burger. Looked good, and seemed entirely appropriate after a late night. Large space, tables well spread out, and located not far from downtown. Easy place to settle in whether you're with a crowd or just the two of you. Good for: small kids, business meals, casual meals, groups Would come back. Already did once.

    Our daughter has celiac disease and it's been a HUGE blessing to find a place that she can go to…read moreand not worry about finding good options! Bowls, salads, drinks, desserts...such a gift to feel like you can indulge within your dietary limits. Plenty of great seating, including a nice outdoor area, and we've always had amazing service and care while dining there. Appreciate their wall of health items for purchase as well.

    Finally a place that cares about making healthy food! Everything here is seed oil free and organic…read more They don't give out plastic straws or plastic cutlery (so grateful for that!). There are tons of vegan options, and you don't have to look too hard for gf options if that's your jam. The store itself is packed with amazing health food items like mushroom coffee, shilajit, matcha, electrolytes, and so much more. They also have a refrigerated grab-and-go section with fresh juices, rice paper rolls, chia seed pudding, and a lentil casserole. The glass dessert case is full of vegan treats like peanut butter and chocolate cups, bliss balls, and donuts. The menu is extensive with tons of great organic vegan options. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough (they also offer gluten-free and multigrain) with cashew cheese and a side of chili. I also got a beet juice, a lemon lavender muffin, chia seed pudding, and a decaf oat milk latte. The sandwich was pretty good. The bread seemed really fresh and I enjoyed the cashew cheese. The side of chili had a slight twist that elevated it above most regular chili recipes. It was good, but had a little too much corn for my taste personally. The beet juice was delicious and a generous portion. The desserts were just okay, but I appreciated that they weren't overly sweet and didn't have any weird ingredients. Honestly, it's just so nice knowing your food has no weird ingredients and everything is organic! The only downside was the coffee. Honestly, it was probably one of the worst I've ever had. Maybe it was just an off day or a mistake, I'm not sure. Everything else was good though! I would definitely recommend this spot. The decor is really cute and inviting. I love that they offer plenty of seating options too -- indoor, an enclosed outdoor patio, and an exterior exposed patio. Logistical Notes: Parking was super easy with a lot right out front. There are two accessible bathrooms for people with disabilities, and I love that they have a gender-inclusive restroom as well. You order at the register, they bring you your food, and then you bus your own "tray."
