great place for breakfast, which is served all day, or lunch!. this family-friendly, upscale causal restaurant is a great place for breakfast, which is served all day, or lunch.

we started our lunch off with the southern grit fritters, little nuggets of stone ground grits, applewood bacon and pimento cheese. these fritters were definitely unique and quite tasty. i like to think i have had all kinds of fritters, but i have never had them with grits. they were firm on the outside and smooth and creamy on the inside with the pimento cheese standing out in a big way.

for my meal, i chose the b’more breakfast trio of sliders which included a pulled bbqchickenand cheddar cheese slider, an applewood smoked bacon with cheddar cheese, and a spinach, roasted red pepper and goat cheese slider, all with scrambled eggs on mini challah rolls. the bbq was my favorite, but all were full of flavor and the challah roll was the perfect serving bread.

dora here. how could i not order the coconut cream stuffed french toast? oy! challah bread, coconut cream, strawberries and bananas...wonderful for a few bites, but way too sweet for an entire meal. take my advice. share and order a side of protein. your belly will thank you later.:)

we rate this restaurant 4 forks out of 5 forks for a family friendly restaurant serving great food.

very long wait for a table on a sunday morning. waited over an hour for some amazingchickenand waffles. thechickenwas crispy and crunchy and the waffles were light and fluffy and airy and with the jalapeño butter it was a great combo. so good! we sat outside and enjoyed the fall afternoon. the wait was worth it although the disorganized hostess made the wait longer than it should have been.

good service, thanks brianna! thechickenand waffles were good, not memorable. the waffles were not much different than others i have had before. there are still many items to try on the menu, i plan on coming back to try more.

came here with high expectations. great reviews and photos to go with them. waited 45 minutes to sit down. there's achickenand biscuits item on the menu with pulled bbq chicken. instead i asked if i could switch to the friedchickenwhich is in thechickenand waffles. i told her i wouldn't mind paying an up charge. i'm sorry but bbqchickenand eggs to me don't seem to mix. i was informed that i could not substitute anything on the menu because the kitchen is too busy. i couldn't get a side of friedchickenor anything. i ended up getting the two eggs meal to try and make my own version with the turkey sausage. well when that came out my turkey sausage was extremely dry and there was no biscuit and my poached eggs were completely cooked through. i also ordered a green tea that never came. one positive thing i can say is the monkey bread was great. what a disappointment visiting from out of town.

great food!. arrived at lunch for another bite to eat. we previously visited this location in 2009 and loved the decor, food and service. upon entering we noticed that they served breakfast all day and couldn't resist as that's what they're known for. ordered thechickenin waffles )delicious) and my wife had the crabcake sandwich. oh, their collard greens are off-da-hook as well! this place is now a must whenever we return to bmore and it should be for you as well.

yum!!!. went here this afternoon on a whim! a friend and i were already in the area and decided to go. i had the 'what came first, thechickenor the egg and she had thechickenand waffles. both meals were delicious and looked nice as well. however, i thought the poached egg was a little over done, but still tasty. thechickenwas prepared nicely and the sausage gravy was out of this world. we also had mimosas, which we both thought were kinda ehhh.

our server was pleasant and kept our water filled.

all in all a great time and yes hours later, i am still full!
