    I begrudgingly am writing this review because Arize is like a secret Caribbean beach and by posting this review, it may become difficult to get a seat when I want to come and eat. A group of us came to Arize and almost drove by the location. We walked in and were greeted and seated almost immediately. It's nothing fancy because the food and flavors speak for themselves. The food was great! The flavors, textures, and mixtures of Caribbean deliciousness all in my belly and tummy! Anywho, don't go ruining my new go to breakfast spot. That is all

    Breakfast bowl

    I dined in using DoorDash so will lean on the side of the restaurant in rating a 4 instead of 3 to factor not eating directly from kitchen to table. I ordered a breakfast bowl of grits, scrambled cheese eggs and turkey sausage along with coco bread. The grits were not to my best liking; however, I am from the south so a grit snob and it takes adjusting when not the traditional taste. Eggs and coco bread were ok but turkey sausage was dry (again attributing to delivery versus eating onsite). Will need to try in person to be fair.

    Had Jiu Jitsu competition to attend and needed some breakfast fuel. Randomly drive into a place where stumbled among a GEM!!! Arize is an American breakfast spot with Caribbean influence. Arize Is a small cafe with absolutely delicious food choices with big flavor. I had The Jamaican with curry grits (which they allowed me to sample prior to ordering) and added a pancake. It's took 12 minutes for my food to come out and they entire time my waitress DESTINY was attentive to not just me but all patrons. There was a large group to my right and a mother and son to my left- everyone was praising the food, coffee and the service they received. They added an 18% gratuity, so be prepared. I will defiantly be coming back... this might be my new quaint spot. Thanks Arize

    The Jamaican Omelette and Curry Grits were amazing! Jaa, our waiter, was attentive, amazing and friendly! The music and atmosphere made this visit even better! Definitely recommend this place for some great grub! I will definitely be coming back again!

    We love Arize. Always good & kind service, plenty of parking and delicious meals. Nevera long wait, like most brunch spots in the area. Open seating for families or small parties, cool place with modest decor. I've never had something I didn't like and there are several vegetarian options.

    Had the opportunity to meet the owner while getting some business work done somewhere else last night, came to eat breakfast this morning and was impressed! The atmosphere, the attitude of the wait staff and the awesome food was worth it! I'll definitely be back to eat here again soon! Looking forward to seeing more Arize!

    Catfish with curry grits

    What a lovely little place. It has cute things on the wall. It is clean! Our server was amazing and super attentive. The food was delicious!!! I love the curry grits and my catfish was seasoned very well and cooked to perfection.

    Pancakes
    Tasha J.

    It's a no for me. Came here for breakfast as recommended by a friend. They serve breakfast with a Jamaican twist. I asked to have my overcooked pancake replaced, one of the servers took it back (it was charred / burnt on the bottom which impacts the taste), only to bring out a more charred pancake....dang, these folk gave me a hard middle finger (without giving me the middle finger). The owner comes over to inquire about the pancake situation and he let me know that I get what I get...dang double middle finger. I have worked in a restaurant and have dined out a lot in my lifetime. This was a first for me. And hopefully the last time this kind of disregard happens. We do not have to agree but you can be more professional. I did not ask to be comped and I was not looking for a discount. Just edible food that I paid for. On a positive note, our server was awesome. I am praying for him to be freed from such a nasty boss. I will not be back.

    Tbh I should have been wrote this , but today did it . I order to go today and it made me want to write . I order shrimp and grits Cajun style and for 25.75 this is totally not appreciated and yes it's good but not that good . Black owned have def lost my support in this type situations . And for them to sell me half a coco bread for a breakfast sandwhich is simply stealing , how you cut coco bread in half ‍ I'm like dang if your charge me for the high quality food give me all of the food not half . I'm so probably not going back and I liked this spot at one time now I'm perplexed after ordering to go because I was on the go back to work mode . Now I've been here a few times and it's good but I guess it took for me to see how they handle the Togo for me not to go back . 39.16 which includes a 12% gratuity for takeout smh and that's crcrazy but not as crazy as others I've seen but I expected more from this spot but hey you live and learn . Service is great and ambiance but them numbers would make Stevie Wonder wonder .

    This wasn't my first time nor will it be my last and my Omelette is why!! It was really tasty!!!!! The potatoes and turkey sausage was delicious too. My waiter was great even though I forgot his name but he was very on it when it came to checking on us.

    Sweet potato pancake and maple syrup
    Thomas W.

    So let me start off by explaining why I gave 5 stars to this small business that is not by any means in fashion of Ritz Carlton style dining. The folks here checked off my boxes for cleanliness, friendliness, and "food tastes goodingness". I am indeed a germophobe and Covid didn't make it any better. At entry I saw the notices for covid safety and hand sanitizer etc. At entry I was greeted immediately and it was genuine. All too often we find ourselves in places just rolling the wheel if you will --- and a friend of mine had already said the food was good. Originally I was going to order to go but I felt comfortable all of a sudden like my uncle was talking to me and I sat on down. As a Charleston native, I know good grits and my goodness I saw the ladies next to me order the Curry Grits. It threw me a little bit but when I tell you I enjoyed every grit in the bowl! My eggs were cooked perfectly and I'm not sure why it's so hard to get a good over hard egg? Like can anybody answer that for me??? I also had the sweet potato pancakes. They were fluffy and tasty as well. There are several things I intend to swing back by to try and probably update this review or add another. Overall I can say I was pleased to be here and support another local small business. I will continue to spread the word and bring my folks when on that side of town.

    This restaurant is Black Owned, located in College Park inside of the Camp Creek Market Place. Its a small spot maybe about 20 ppl could sit inside. The place was clean, sanitizer on the counter, they cleaned the tables as customers left. The staff wore masks, mask are required inside as well. The host greeted me upon entry & the server greeted me quickly as I sat down, the place only had about 5pp seated & it was around 930am on a Wednesday. Now lets talk about the food.. this place states it has Jamaican food, that is not the case, it has Jamaican inspired food. If you are looking for traditional Jamaican food then this is not the restaurant for you. The waffles were undercooked with a doughy-like texture inside. I informed the server and it was replaced with the 2nd waffle pic you see & I had the same issue. The eggs & sausage were both good, nothing to brag about. I was definitely not happy about the doughy waffle, However, I will return because my first choice was to get the CocoBread w/peaches. Im giving them 4 stars even though the food was ok, the customer service was good & customer service is everything... the waffle was replaced and was then removed from my check without having to mention it. Oh yeah let me tell you about the Vanilla Cognac sauce, I thought it was going to be like a syrup instead it was thick like a custard. It was served warm, it was good & I did dip a few pieces of the waffle, I was expecting to pour it like syrup nonetheless it was a good flavor. Parking- Free No outside seating Moderately priced under $20

    Erica and Aaron my servers / lol while I waited on my food to cool down . But my plate was so hot it burned his lil fingers . The food is bomb I had the southern grits and shrimps .. what a way to start my Saturday (arize )?

    Yes, yes and yes...can't wait to go back!!!

    I don't see how a breakfast café can't serve eggs Benedict? To me a breakfast only place should at least serve that

    They aren't the typical breakfast place. That may not be a big seller. They have delicious choices though.

    Is the food worth the price, we live in Columbus but are in Atlanta at least twice a month?

    Yes I felt the price was worth the food. The omelette, potatoes and toast was about $11 and the added grits was $3 extra

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.

The cucumber mint lemonade was AMAZING. Too bad it's $4 for a small glass with no refills. Now for the rest... they were out of fries, which normally come with the burger, but I was charged an extra $3 to substitute Brussels sprouts. The server never mentioned there would be an upcharge. I only found out when I got the bill. When I questioned it, she basically said she couldn't control the system. My issue isn't even the $3. If you're out of the side that comes with the meal, customers shouldn't have to pay extra for a replacement. And I definitely don't appreciate surprise charges on my bill. I had my child with me, so I wasn't about to go back and forth over $3. I paid it and kept it moving. Another surprise was that they don't offer free water. If you want water, you have to buy a bottle. Between paying for parking, paying for bottled water, and no drink refills, the little charges started adding up. I felt "nickled and dimed." The music couldn't decide what vibe it wanted. One minute we could talk normally, and the next minute we were basically at a concert. There was also a leak in the ceiling, and near the restrooms there was a smell that reminded me of old wet towels. On the positive side, the host was amazing. He was super personable and welcoming. They also turn those tables over FAST. By the time we paid, our dishes were gone and the table was already cleaned and ready for the next group. The food is what saved this review. There were just too many little things that took away from what could've easily been a 5-star experience.
