The food here is absolutely incredible. If you’re coming strictly for the flavors, you won't be disappointed, everything we ordered was top-tier and lived up to the hype. ​However, the "vibe" at the front door could use some serious work. The hostesses lacked basic customer service skills; seemed very serious, with no smile or welcoming energy. It definitely starts the experience off on the wrong foot. ​Be prepared for a massive time commitment, too. It is nearly impossible to find a seat here. We waited over an hour and 40 minutes just for a party of two, and even after that long wait, we ended up having to sit at the bar. ​Go for the amazing food, but bring plenty of patience and don't expect a warm welcome at the door. Despite the wait, the food is the real star here. I’d return in a heartbeat for another meal. it’s a must-visit. This is the kind of place I’ll keep coming back to:) great bartenders!!

Despite being super busy, the service was friendly and impressively quick. The team handled the rush so well and still made us feel taken care of. The food was DELICIOUS. We tried the Four Friends Grits — absolutely amazing — and the smoked brisket hash and eggs, which were just as stellar. Everything was perfect. Fair prices, great portions, and an overall fantastic brunch experience. I definitely recommend making reservations, especially during busy times. We’ll be back!

By far our favorite brunch location. The staff is friendly and food is so delectable. Our favorite dish is the crab fried green tomato Benedict. We order it every time. Their refresher drinks are pretty good or you cant go wrong with a mimosa. The place is pretty popular however so even with a reservation be ready for a little bit of a wait time if its too cold for their upper floor patio.

I waited until my second visit to leave a review. On my wife’s recommendation, we had brunch here. She had already been twice at this point. So, after my second visit, it’s time to rant and rave about this hidden gem. The food is amazing, service is friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere is filled with stories, smiles, and laughs. The one drawback is that it’s so popular, you might have to wait a while to get in. It is worth the wait!!
