Good experience at this near Columbia, SC location. We were seated quickly into a car and nicely…read morespacious booth, and our server was very patient with us. I had the Rustic Frittata which was even better than I expected it to be. The greens with it were just okay. Others in my party had the biscuits and gravy dish (which filled him up quicker that expected!) and another had the Trifecta with bacon and waffle, and a delicious Iced Mocha. That last dish, and accompanied warm maple syrup, prompted me to get a blueberry pancake, as I did initially want something sweet. Overall, I'm glad we came here over other options.

Pretty quick service for how busy it was, and the meals came out quickly as the waitress said the kitchen was fully staffed today and they were on point....perfect! I got the special they had, Steak and Eggs with chimmichurri , the flavor was AMAZING. The steak was so tender only need a fork, and it was a great breakaway from just regular steak and eggs, as you can see in the picture. Another plus was the fact they left a whole carafe of coffee so you don't have to wait for a refill. Already planning our next trip back!

As an out of towner I have been here twice once for dinner on a Friday evening (party of 3) and…read moremost recently on a Sunday for brunch (party of 4). The space is very spacious with ample parking and a pretty good play list from whomever is on the 1's & 2's. Both times food was good, service was slow but our waiters were on point. For Dinner... (Friday 6/21/24 @ 7:30... TY photo meta data). It was a girls night, it was a little busy but we were seated quickly for a Friday. I don't remember our waiters name but it was a gentleman who is still there because I saw him on my most recent visit. We ordered apps of seafood crab dip and buffalo chicken egg-rolls. I sampled both and they were tasty. For entrées there was pasta Alfredo with salmon and broccoli and I order salmon with collards and garlic mash. My sister order a shrimp rice dish with sauce (idr the name). Nonetheless we all enjoyed our food. It took sometime to arrive but it was good and the temps were nice and hot. Now they ran out of several items at the bar, one being Jack Daniels, but our waiter did his best to accommodate. The bathrooms were not in good shape and there were serval staff members not pulling their weight for a smooth service. For Brunch... (Sunday, 7/6/25 @ 12:30) The hostess was rude, inattentive and seated people she knew whom came after the people waiting. While she insisted the entire party needed to be standing inside before being seated. She seated the others she knew staggered in parties of two as they came in. Once seated our server Jordan S. was great and very apologetic for the staff members once again not being productive to provide better service. For example on this visit I order a carafe of mimosa. She had to request it from the bar three different times. As we were seated in a booth across from the bar we watched as everyone was socializing with each other and prioritizing convos with their peeps. Our food came before the carafe of mimosa. Entrées for brunch: were honey chicken and waffles, 2 shrimps n grits one with a side of eggs, and fish n grits with a side of French toast . Everything was well seasoned, I was amazed at how much I enjoyed the grits. When I order grits, usually they require some doctoring up table side. The French toast was also surprisingly extra tasty. Everyone was completely satisfied with our choices and a couple of us were full so we took the rest to-go. Overall the food is good, the service can be tolerable if you get the right server and the music & atmosphere can be a vibe. However on both visits there were things and staff members that hindered the experience. Just A Note: There is an automatic 15% service fee added to the bill, it is a tip. However, I highly recommend if you get a really good server who provides great service despite the circumstance they are up against please tip them extra in CASH if you can.

Our waitress was extremely polite and knowledgeable. For appetizers we enjoyed the Buffalo and henny flavored wings. For entrees we ordered fish and grits and shrimp in grits.

Do keep in mind that parking can be tricky, especially on nice days when many visitors are enjoying the nearby Cayce/West Columbia Riverwalk. A little patience goes a long way! As for the food, it was absolutely top-notch! I opted for a simple but classic breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon, and everything was cooked perfectly. While the menu is a bit "busy" with many options to choose from, the variety is impressive, and I'm excited to try more dishes next time. No complaints here! Service was equally great. We arrived about 45 minutes before closing, and our hostess took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend this spot--the food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and overall, it's a place worth visiting!

I ordered the kids gluten free pancakes for me and the kiddo to share. We loved them. They have a decent size gluten free menu so hopefully we can eat our way through it.

Overall, if you decide to come here, the food is decent but get here early or eat during the week day. Enjoy!

Nestled in a set of historic homes on a quiet street (with free street parking!), the restaurant itself is so adorable and creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is so kind and personable, you always feel like you're being fed at your grandma's house when you go in! I truly believe there is not a single dish from them that is nothing short of phenomenal. Today we had their specials consisting of shrimp and grits, chicken skin & hot sauce deviled eggs, along with a cup of the cauliflower parm soup. We also got their hot honey pimento cheese but they have that every day! Everything was amazing of course, and I find it so impressive how the chef & team is able to come up with such unique and delicious dishes every single week. Don't even get me started on their desserts. Everything they bake is delicious, but they've recently revamped their mocha tiramisu creme pie and I'm unhealthily addicted to it. I've had it on 3 separate occasions in the last week and every time I have gone, I have to order more than one! I really really hope they keep that creme pie in the rotation for a while or at least bring it back soon once it's done, because I don't think I'll be able to recover otherwise.
