Ordered the Farmers Omelet and a Bacon Cheese Burger. In the "Special Instructions/Add Notes" section I said- "I cannot eat Green Peppers, please sub them out for Spinach, my thanks". I also requested my burger have lettuce, tomato, onions and mayo on it. My omelet came with Green Peppers and my burger was just bread and meat, no veggies or mayo at all... This all cost me $37 with tip and I got ZERO of what I asked for. I had to toss the omelet completely and the burger was just awful. It's gone hill since COVID and hasn't apparently not come back, probably lost the good cooks to another restaurant or industry so now they suck... My wheat toast was half stale too, I tried but now I'm DONE!
Came here after seeing it while scrolling for food choices. If you're curious, I'll hopefully tip your scales into going. Don't judge a book by its cover never held so true. I hope they stay just the way they are. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits with a side of Biscuits and Gravy off a pretty darn good looking menu. There is something for everyone here. The staff were chatty and I even met the Chef. You can see and hear the ongoings and chatter of the kitchen depending on where you sit. The prices are fantastic. You'll be glad you found and picked this place for your next bite.
I went here for Lunch. It was a little busy but the wait staff was fast and friendly. They are the nicest ladies I have ever met. Rebecca and Kathy are awesome and any business would be lucky to have them. My waitress was Rebecca and she is the kindest and best waitress I have ever had. Very respectful and went out of her way to make sure everything was awesome. I definitely recommend this place. If you go ask for Rebecca to be your waitress. I promise your experience will be one of the best you have ever had!
