After reading several reviews, I ordered the French Toast. Yes, it was great!! This will be my go-to for French Toast! (They serve 3 per entree) I am also adding a pic of the shrimp "po-boy" sandwich I ordered the first time I visited this eatery.....very good!

A bit slow service but food was cooked hot and fresh.. please lighten up on the Rosemary on the fried chicken it's so overwhelming.. the wings were delicious and cooked fresh to order.. we got the popular flavor and it didn't disappoint. The Lemonade was so good, we purchased a 1/2 gallon. Easy to miss in this plaza.. overall great experience and good food..

This family owned spot has all the charm and warmth you could hope for. And then there’s the delicious food. First things first. The grits. They are the most flavorful and delicious grits I’ve ever had. Go cajun, for sure. And the French toast, y’all. Definitely, put this restaurant on your radar. You won’t be sorry.

The woman behind the counter was welcoming and funny. Loved the music and can't wait till the next time I get to eat there again. I had the turkey ribs with jerk seasoning and hot honey sauce with yams and mac n cheese. EVERYTHING was delicious.

The chicken tenders were juicy and perfectly crispy! The fish sandwich had more filets than I could eat. It was flavorful and flaky. We tried to finish it all, but had to take it home. The fries are just like ones you get at the ball park! The food was amazing! We can't wait to try the French toast on our next visit. It's a hidden gem! Definitely gonna recommend to all our friends. Sorry for taking pictures halfway through. It looked so good we couldn't help ourselves.

My daughter and I came here for breakfast. The vibe in this place is so chill. The music will have you dancing and eating all at the same time. The gentleman that helped us with our order was so nice. He went above and beyond for us. 10 out 10 highly recommend!! We will be back!!
