Friendly service. Sprite from fountain tasted a lil different. Kind of flat. Lemonade had no actual lemons, seems powered. Had asked for water a few times before it arrived. Fresh juice was good. The Steak was smothered in sauce and barely any steak. Rice was good. They made us nachos and substituted fries. Those were the best dish we ordered.

Great breakfast spot.
Ordered the breakfast burrito filled with home fries, eggs, salsa, choice of meat, and ham. It was quite flavorful. We also ordered the egg white Denver omelette and grits that were amazing and very tasty. Service was friendly and the server was very attentive.

I ordered the chicken wing special w/ scrambled eggs and waffles. I also asked for gravy for the chicken. When the food arrived, the waitress didn't bring my gravy, she told me that it was coming. I waited 10 minutes for the gravy. Once I pulled the chicken apart, I realized the chicken was cold. I communicated this to the waitress, and she apologized and took the plate.... 5 mins later, she returned and said the chef made me fresh wings. They looked to be the same pulled apart wings I'd sent back. They tasted as if they had microwaved them and brought them back. They were dry and tasteless . The gravy was so salty I had to drink water after a few bites.
Also, the waitress never came back to the table, I had to flag someone else down and ask for napkins and the bill. This place was recommended via Tik Tok... I was extremely disappointed with the food, the service, and the price. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Always a winner. I bring family and friends here when they visit. Real good food with excellent service. I have never had a bad meal here. I am hooked on their chicken wings and grits breakfast. It's all my sister-in-law will have for breakfast when she comes to town. I highly recommend this place.

We stopped here on a rainy day not knowing what to expect.☔

It was bustling like a restaurant you'd see in New York City! 🗽

We were seated immediately even though the place was very full. Lots of activity and friendly faces everywhere. 🙂

We got a fresh juice drinks🍍 and I ordered short ribs which were delicious. 😋

My son ordered machaca breakfast and loved it.🍳

We will definitely come back for the homestyle food when we are in the neighborhood.🏘️

The food and service was excellent. Everyone around seemed like they were enjoying their food and the atmosphere.

I really sincerely hope that the owner sees this.I fell in love with this place more than ten years ago. What happened? I ordered three fried chicken wings with grits and three fried eggs, and a biscuit.
I wish I could have made a video, to show how this place gave me a biscuit, that would not even bend. In the pic, zI am literally pressing down hard! Nothing. No give. Like it was microwaved five minutes. Hard as a rock.

I literally had to come home, and cook this food to doneness. The grits were not only lumpy, in the lumps was dry grits…they had zero taste, undercooked.

I specifically asked for well done eggs, the response from the waitress was overhard, I told her no, well done, meaning yolk done all the way through. She said medium, I said yolk all the way through. I received an over fried egg, yolk still not done. The chicken looked great but tasted like old grease.

Maybe they just need someone younger and more attentive at the counter but it seems like there’s a lack in understanding and getting orders right… idk how I order a grits and chicken plate and you replace my grits for fruit which I’m not mad at the fruit but when you make an order you expect what you ordered
