In searching for a healthy lunch option that has delivery options on Yelp, I came upon Bowled. I ordered one of their signature açai bowls. It came with an açai base, peanut butter, berries, granola, banana, and chia seeds. The ingredients were all fresh, it tasted delicious and was incredibly satisfying. It filled me up and got me through my workday. Their bowls deliver well so no worries there. My bowl arrived at my door perfect and ready to eat. Not sure what their in house experience is like but as for delivery--get to it!

When I started eating it I could taste the air freshener. Determined that it was the croutons. They tasted and smelled just like the odor I smelled in the restaurant.

Service was great! The cafe itself is super cool and open on the inside. Ordered a water and coffee to start. No issues at all. For the first brunch meal we ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries. It was delicious and well balanced though a bit messy! Ask for extra napkins! The other brunch meal we ordered was the eggs benedict special that had a spicy sauce and prosciutto as well. It was delicious! Though the sauce was a bit separated. That's an execution issue and not a flavor issue. The flavor was there! If you are in the area. Call ahead get on the wait list and give this spot a try!

Bot only was everything packaged well, they included all condiments without my having to ask for anything. Their fried chicken skin was crispy and flavorful whilst the meat of the chicken was perfectly cooked and moist. The waffle delicious and the grits were a great big portion and hit the spot. Today I decided to try their beef ribs with their baked Mac and cheese and Lil Gwen's Candied Yams. I love the nonsense decor. I find it cool that it's homed inside of a truck stop which makes for excellent people watching. They offer all day breakfast as well as nice variety on the menu. Beef Rib humongous and delicious. The yams spot on seasoned amazingly not overboard perfect balance. The baked macaroni and cheese was the VIP. These guys are a true taste of downhome soul food off the beaten path.

Now when I clicked the fried catfish option it opted me to pay a dollar extra for cheese, which is weird because it's already in the title of the meal but I just clicked add cheese for a dollar extra. The staff was friendly. The woman who made my shake, asked me if I would like oats added to the drink to make it taste more like carrot cake. I took her advice, and I do not regret it. The shake was delicious. I took the meal home and I will say to my surprise I felt like they put a very small amount of catfish compared to everything else in the place but the catfish was pretty good. I was happy to see they didn't fry it with cornmeal. The eggs was well seasoned with salt and pepper and cheese. The grits were slightly bland, but it wasn't the worst grits that I've tried. I recommend trying this place because I will be back, especially for the shakes.
