I had a excellent experience at this reastarant! We visited on Saturday for brunch and the food was delicious. The grits & shripm were best I've had so far, and it was gluten-free, it was perfectly spiced and had fresh ingredients. My husband enjoyd his in-house made hamburger. We both appreciated the nice and hip vibe in the old-fashioned atmosphere. The service was friendly and efficient.
I had a nice lunch today at Motor Supply. I first ate here when they opened over 30 years ago. As they have changed hands their practices have changed. Today’s meal of shrimp gumbo was very good and a deviled egg separately purchased was good also. This was probably too small of a meal for lunch for most people though. In the past, they supplied bread per table but have since stopped that. In the past, they had a small side dish with each meal such as pasta salad, veggie, regular small salad etc.. That is not offered even as an upgrade anymore. So today if you ordered the gumbo plus their smallest leaf salad and a glass of tea, you would pay $40 for lunch with tip and tax included. This is high for most people as it would be a $80 for lunch for 2. Speaking of tip, my waiter, Playne, was excellent, fast and understanding!!! You coulded ask for better!
An all time favorite for date night and dinner with friends! The food is creative and delicious. The menu is ever changing and the service is great! Dessert is a must.
