There were three of us dining in together today and we decided to order the Garlic Parmesan Fries to share! These were absolutely delicious and served on such a large platter. Perfect item to share. I ordered the Cookie Butter Chai Latte and Split Decision Sampler (pearl sugar and southern waffle, two eggs and choice of bacon or pork sausage). My boyfriend ordered the Bergamot London Fog. I didn't take a picture of the food he ordered, but it was one of the specialty eggs entrees. I was a little underwhelmed by my entree choice, however it was still good. I didn't want to be too stuffed, so it was a good choice overall. The service was great. Super friendly and energetic staff working, which made it a great experience. We were quite fortunate to arrive at a time where it wasn't too busy where we had a long wait to be seated!

So I googled Buddy's and found out they're less than a mile from my house. I had to try!! I was not disappointed. When I walked in, I was greeted by the server and she had a lovely smile. We ordered to go. The place smelled like a sweet waffle, it was very informal. They serve chicken, waffles and fries. Husband had Strawberry waffle and chicken and I had loaded fries. The chicken in my loaded fries was crispy and tender on the inside. Husband was so happy with his waffle and chicken too. Will I be back? Absolutely! There is nothing better than a locally owned business with a great product. Good job Buddy's!

We got there right when they opened at 10am and had fast and friendly service. Recommendation: Try the Southern Cornbread Waffles with two handbreaded chicken tenders. We opted for one spicy and one original chicken tender. So good!

It was the fluffiest inside with a nice crisp outside. They had a salsa between the waffle and chorizo, amazing. 10/10. My friends also enjoyed their food. They didn't have a caramel iced coffee on their menu but they said they could make it and they sure could. Top 3 coffees of my life. I tried it, finished it, and ordered another one to go. 20/10. The staff was really nice, it wasn't too busy so the vibes were what I was hoping from the pnw. The chef brought out our food, very nice guy. Everything was sooo good. I went in April and will be going back in August.

This place is a reminder not to judge a book by its cover, don't want to call this a greasy spoon because there was nothing greasy about the food. Quaint and clean. The food was sooo good! Eggs, hubby's scrambled and mine over medium, were perfectly cooked. The sausage patties were delicious; nice crisp sear on the outside and tender in side. Best execution of hash browns I've ever had at any restaurant. The rye bread toast.... To make this place even better, the service was incredible. Wish I had gotten their names to give them the proper appreciation, both were attentive and friendly. Sad they are so far away, best breakfast ever!

The service was absolutely amazing. I couldn't ask for anything better. The pancakes are humongous!!!! Hashbrowns were crispy and eggs cooked well. The only reason I didn't rate it slightly higher is the syrup was a little on the artificial side to me but hey still good. Also, the OJ was ok but other than that a really solid breakfast choice!!!!

I had eggs Benedict with potatoes and pancakes, and my husband had the cheddar ham(or bacon) omelette. The potatoes were almost boiled not crispy like they should be. My Benedict was good but the eggs were almost undercooked, and the muffins were not toasted enough so they ended up soggy. The pancakes were just plain buttermilk and they were ok, the batter is very plain. Price wasn't cheap $20 for my eggs Benedict, maybe I don't eat out enough lately and that's normal but yikes!

The bacon was cooked perfectly--not too crispy or too soft--and had amazing flavor. The eggs were well-seasoned, which is something you don't always find at breakfast spots, and the breakfast potatoes were just as tasty. I also ordered the spicy jalapeño margarita, and it was fantastic with just the right amount of spice. The restaurant itself has beautiful décor, and the views made the experience even better. Overall, this place is a 10/10. As a fellow Texan, I can definitely recommend it, and I'd happily come back the next time I'm in town!

Visited today with reservations. There were only 3 other tables seated at the time of my arrival…read more I sat for 15 minutes before being acknowledged by the server. This is not an exaggeration. I was watching the clock. Not sure if my waitress was distracted or if this was just a one off but I won't be able to find out. There are heaters on the back porch so although It was rainy It wasn't too chilly. There are blankets on the back of each chair but however, not sure what the cleaning protocols are for the blankets. The specials are not on the menu so everything is word of mouth. The quiche of the day was not described as having a balsamic drizzle included and is not made fresh, but instead at least the day before? The mocktail is $14. This was a disappointing $50 brunch and I was still hungry.

The food at Art House Cafe was great, but the experience was not…read more We arrived when it opened and despite only having one other patron, the service was incredibly slow. By the time we got our drinks, the place had filled up. There is very little sound dampening here, so the sounds of every conversation echoed through the dining area and made it very hard for those at my table to hear each other. Our table was also disturbingly wobbly, which made the meal feel precarious. The food was excellent. The mocha was large and delicious, and my chorizo breakfast pizza offered a fun new taste for me. The biscuit meals were better than what we expected - in fact, we wouldn't even call them "biscuits." The food also kept well when frozen, so Art House may be better experienced as Takeout.

We told the waitress about it and all she said was "okay". Worse experience here. I mentioned this to one of my friends and she said she had the same experience the other week.

I can see where some of the food needs improvement but most restaurants these days are in the same situation.
