This was a definite stop if you are in the Melbourne area. It’s a brunch style restaurant with a great atmosphere. You have the option to pick a table with a grill in front of you. I had the boss hog was incredibly amazing. It has cheese grits, sausage, bacon, and a sunny side egg on top, just phenomenal. Our waiter his name escapes me but a true example of hospitality. He said he was new but from my experience he was beyond qualified for his position. Make an effort to visit this restaurant the food isn’t expensive and they give you a good portion. 5 stars!
The food was amazing, very big portions, great value, great atmosphere. The service was awesome. You can make your own pancake. Parking: It wasn't busy when I got there so the parking wasn't too bad. I parked around the front and walked back about 3 to 5 minutes.
So the food is amazing. Big recommend. The Bayou Benedict, Breakfast Club and Cuban Benedict were big standouts. We have yet to do a griddle table, but it looks fun for families. Also, unpopular opinion, but the loaded grits aren't great - BUT the home fries are. Make the right choice! Definitely the best breakfast in town, worth the sometimes long waits. Estimated wait time was 40, but we only waited 20. ...however... Every ninety seconds a guy walked by our table shouting "COMING IN" to the folks in the kitchen. I don't mind servers and wait staff and busboys saying "corner" or "behind you" but dude was shouting at the top of his lungs every time he walked behind our table. It was startling, then amusing, then beyond annoying by the time we were done eating. He didn't need to do it so loudly. He didn't need to do it that far away from the kitchen door. So again, food is amazing, service was great, atmosphere beyond compare. But that guy shouting behind my head two dozen times? One st
