    Starting out with some coffee and OJ. Waiting on the food to get here.
    Paul G.

    The breakfast here is amazing. I have not had a bad meal yet and it is as close to homemade that momma made as I can get. I suggest anyone in the area to try this place for breakfast.

    $40 breakfast
    Jamie B.

    Id really rather give 3 1/2 stars. This is a little diner, typical southern country meals, but the prices are not diner prices. I paid $45 ($5 tip) for my breakfast of 2 eggs, chicken fried steak and gravy, 1 biscuit and coffee and home fries. My daughter has country ham, 2 eggs, 2 biscuits, home fries, gravy and coffee. Home fries were not great, dry, possibly frozen not fresh. But the rest of the food was good, my eggs were cooked perfectly, the chicken fried steak was great and biscuits were large and fluffy. They serve their ketchup in a tiny plastic ramekin with a lid, it was gross and had a layer of liquid on top that was hard to get over. It has an old school diner ambiance that I really liked but I just can't get over it being a $40 breakfast.

    Bacon egg sandwich, undercooked hashbtowns
    Amanda W.

    I brought my mom here to try it when she came into town. Unfortunately, this was by far the worst breakfast experience either of us have had. The place was very old which made me wonder how old (dirty) the kitchen is. Our server was impersonal, bordering on rude. The coffee was tasteless, more like hot water for as much flavor as it had. We had a long 30 min wait for egg sandwiches which the bread was barley toasted. And to top it off, my hash browns were undercooked and still hard in the middle. Super disappointed by this place and sad I took my mom there. Hopefully our experience was a one off, and not their usual. I will not be returning.

    They do not take credit cards. The ATM charges $2.25. The service is good and the bacon is thick.

    Hummus Republic is a bit of a mixed experience. **The…read morepositive -- hummus is above average and tastes freshly made; roast eggplant is good; spice/flavor is decent. **Negative -- minimal meat; only a tiny piece of eggplant (despite an upcharge); lemon chicken was cold and not very tasy. My order was UberEats. So, I cannot comment on the restaurant experience or ambiance. But, as far as food goes, I put this in the average category. If you happen to be near there and want this style of food (and nothing better is around), it's passable. But, it doesn't reach the great category and it is not as good as CAVA (which seems very similar). Overall: Worth a try. But, don't rush out to it. I recommend they improve the quality of the meats and have better portions if someone orders the roast eggplant.

    Food was fresh and of good quality…read more Restaurant was clean and updated. Manager (MAYBE a franchisee?) was absolutely wonderful to deal with. Easy to find and easy to find parking. Store was clean and modern. Portions were HUGE!!! The only thing I didn't like was not being able to see my food under all the sauce. This is not their fault, I had no clue this was how they did their entrees or I would have asked for it on the side. Also not their fault I've got food sensory issues. Next time I'll simply ask for sauce on the side so I can see my food more distinctly when I'm eating it. It was a very good experience Looking forward to returning.

After perusing the menu, I decided on a large Chicken Bacon Ranch w/lettuce, tomato, and mayo, accompanied by a bag of chips and a sweet tea. Within a few short minutes, my order was ready for pick up. The sandwich was more than satisfying - well crafted and big enough for two servings. Without a doubt, the fresh-baked bread was the star of the show. It was soft and absolutely delicious. Service was fast and friendly. There's ample indoor and patio seating. Parking is limited to the street. Definitely swing by Steamboat if you're in the area!

You can go through the front or the back and you're greeted when you walk in. It smelled so good walking in. I'm from California so I do not have an accent and I talk fast and literally every single employee turned to look at me when I was talking because as I'm told I stick out like a sore thumb. I ordered a whole Italian sandwich. A half a sandwich is definitely plenty because they cut each half into a half so you're getting four sandwiches. The sandwich was very flavorful and tasty. I also got a large strawberry lemonade. When they handed it to me I laughed and said wow you guys weren't kidding about a large. It was probably about a 32 ounce container. So I would definitely come back!

We each had a burger I had the chili cheese burger. Food arrived hot but the burger was a fat ball of tastelessness. It didn't even cover the entire bun, which wasn't that big to begin with ( for those prices). So your first few bites are nothing but bun and lettuce. the bun wasn't even that good, toasted or good bread. To make it worse the fries were sad and soggy. Maybe it's just me but I prefer crispy fries not ones that droop over when you picked them up. I ended up taking the bun off eating the chili and toppings leaving half my meat and I didn't even finish the fries. I love my french fries and for me to leave. French fries uneaten is definitely a statement. After the meal, I asked what he thought and he said the same thing. Very underwhelming and doubtful that we would return. I really wanted to love it.

    My first Yelp review is inspired by an adventure that led me to The Kraken's Cup. This is a…read moreheartwarming and inspiring tale though it is not without its troubles (and it is quite long but I hope you'll find it worth the read). Our story begins with a bad day that just seemed to keep getting worse. Our hero (me, hi) decided to go out and procure a little treat in order to feel comforted in a way only a good cup of tea could accomplish. What better place than to The Kraken's Cup? Our hero had never been and was interested in a takeout order. On the drive over, our hero's journey took a turn for the worse. It was around rush hour which meant Road Ragers were abound. Our hero mistakenly offended the delicate senses of one of these dastardly creatures and took a golf ball to the side of their sedan! Once our hero made it to The Kraken's Cup they were quite distressed and distraught and, on the way in, nearly considered turning back. But no! Our hero was persistent. And thankfully too, for as soon as they entered The Kraken's Cup, all their worries began to melt away. The little rectangle of modern rentable space The Kraken's Cup resides in has been transformed into a lovely getaway from the outside world. The leafy decorations, antique wooden furniture, and bright pops of blue (or red, seemingly dependent on which side of the tea house you are on) all come together to create a welcoming, playful, and soothing environment. The old-timey music that played over the speakers was romantic and nostalgic in such a way that one could not ever be too miserable in such a place. Our hero began to settle in and asked the lovely host, Elizabeth, if the take out order they originally came for could become a sit down experience. From there, our hero ordered The Power "T"ea, consisting of a scone (that came with mock clotted cream, honey, and apricot jam--all very delicious) and tea (our hero originally chose Blackbeard's Treasure which they unfortunately were out of--Elizabeth swooped in with a clear knack and knowledge for tea and suggested the Irish Rum which was quite lovely, sweet, and fruity in a way that reminded our hero of bananas which they told Elizabeth. Elizabeth then boasted an impressive knowledge of bananas that astounded and amazed our hero, who may return if only to discover what else she knows). At this point, our hero is feeling much better. They began to feel thankful for the Road Rager and his golf ball projectile if only because it revealed to our hero the true healing power of a cup of tea. Our hero is beginning to think this experience can't get much better until Elizabeth, with a delightful trick up her sleeve, brings out a dish of The Kraken's Cup very own strawberries and cream! Our hero thanks Elizabeth profusely and then heartily digs in to what turned out to be their favorite part of it all. Strawberries and cream? More like strawberries and dreams... because it's so good.. it's like a dream... get it? Heh. Anyway. The narrator struggles to figure out how to wrap up this yelp review. It is my first one after all. Thank you to Elizabeth and The Kraken's Cup for restoring my faith in humanity and providing me such a lovely experience. I will definitely be back and will highly recommend to anyone seeking whimsy and/or really good tea.

My daughter and I came on a Sunday at noon for an afternoon tea and were seated right away in the garden themed room by Christian. He explained the menu and the expansive tea list (SO many options and well-organized and explained via menu). He mentioned that an afternoon tea experience typically lasts around 1.5 hours. My daughter ordered the Picnic at the World's Fair kid tea experience and I got the Old City Socie-Tea. We ended up waiting about 35-40 minutes to receive our tea but after that, the scone and finger food courses rolled out quickly. The scone (with clotted cream, preserves, and lemon curd) was incredible. The scone was fresh, warm and incredibly soft and crumbly. It was even heart shaped! As for the savory sandwiches and bites:The chopped ham sandwich my daughter liked a lot, but she did not care for the cheese sandwich, which was a stacked slice of sticky, and slightly sweet American cheese. I liked the mozzarella and sun-dried tomato bite, the deviled egg, and the cucumber sandwich. I did not enjoy the chicken salad, which was very celery and onion heavy on an unfortunately stale croissant. I do with that we were given the option of mix and match for finger sandwiches. There were a few other items that I couldn't determine what they were. I would have loved a description card or quick walkthrough as to what was on each tray. We both loved the pastry bites dessert option. The brownie, raspberry cheesecake, and the lemon tart were so tasty! Aside from the experience aspect of the tea service, I loved seeing the staff interact with regulars and treat them as family. The manager was greeting and checking in with each table which is a nice touch. There are conversation cards on each table for tech-free chats and we also loved the special touch of the heart shaped sugar cubes. We had a great time and can see going back for tea, scones, and maybe one of the salads and the dessert bites.
