We arrived on today (Saturday) at 11:30am to meet some friends for brunch. The party of 8 was told…read morethat the wait was 45 minutes. Expecting a wait at what appeared to be a very busy local spot, we spent the time stretching our legs after the drive in, catching up and taking pictures, so the wait was no biggie. Finally, we were ushered to our table. The servicer had tables all over the restaurant and seemed like she was run ragged. After waiting so long outside, I believe that the delay to be served our drinks was far too long. No one ordered a specialty drink, unless you consider my bestie's bottled grapefruit juice that was served after the otherdrinks for some odd reason "specialty". My son's kids meal, 2 scrawny chicken tenders and a very small mixed fruit arrived and he had devoured it before anyone else's food arrived, and he was asking fir the rest. Of note, there was also another child in our party. She was served with the adults. Once the rest of our meals arrived to our table, we were in a much less crowded restaurant, and pretty hungry. The portions were quite large, and everyone's meal arrived as ordered. We left satisfied, but we just could not understand the delays once we were seated! I wasn't blown away by the experience overall, but I would call in an order or two of those gouda grits for pickup if I lived nearby.

It has been a little over a year since I first learned about Krave Eatery & Dessert Shop through…read moreTikTok, which prompted me to travel over two hours to visit this viral restaurant sensation. Since my initial experience, I have returned on three additional occasions, sampling as many menu items as possible, since I never know when I might next be able to return. Krave is operated by a family team consisting of a father, mother, daughter, and son, who clearly put their Christian values on full display as they demonstrate exceptional hospitality and professionalism in all aspects of their business (including a score of 100 on their recent Food & Services Inspection Report). During my first visit, their genuine friendliness and warmth was notable. Afterwards, I discovered that Khaira, the daughter, serves as a youth and young adults pastor, while her father, David, is the senior pastor at their church-which aligns with the attentive service provided. During my initial trip, I was unaware of the restaurant's significant popularity; despite arriving an hour and a half after opening, I waited in line for 45 minutes and barely obtained one of the last available plates. Learning from this, I arrived earlier on my subsequent visits, twice being the first in line ;-) KRAVE EATERY operates primarily on Wednesdays and Thursdays, with occasional Friday "pop-up" events. It is advisable to check their Facebook page for specific Friday openings, as each day features a distinct menu. To date, I have not attended on a Wednesday but did manage to visit on a Friday. The typical menu schedule is outlined below: WEDNESDAY * Jerk Salmon * Jerk Seafood Pasta * Sweet Chili Salmon * Yellow Rice * Grits * Kale * Spoon Bread * Soup of the Day THURSDAY * Roasted Turkey Wings (THIS IS A MUST TRY ITEM) * Smothered Pork Chops * Braised Oxtails (THIS IS A MUST TRY ITEM) * Collard Greens * Sautéed Squash * Yellow Rice * Mac & Cheese * Sweet Potato Soufflé * Potato Salad * Cornbread Dressing FRIDAY * Braised Oxtail Pasta * Sweet Chili Pork Chops * Smothered Baked Chicken * Sautéed Green Beans * Yellow Rice * Mac & Cheese * Sautéed Cabbage * Sweet Potato Soufflé * Red Velvet -- Coconut Velvet -- Nana * Pudding -- Berry Peach Cobbler (THIS IS A MUST TRY ITEM) [Please note that menu items are subject to change.] I have sampled nearly every dish offered on Thursdays and Fridays, except for the sweet chili pork chops. While I did not prefer the smothered pork chops or barbecue chicken wings on separate occasions, the other dishes were consistently well-prepared, generous in portion size, and reasonably priced. Having experienced a wide variety of southern cuisine, I can confidently say that Krave's oxtails, and turkey wings rank among my top five favorites, and the mac & cheese, dressing and sweet potato soufflé are high on my list as well. [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] Krave Eatery & Dessert Shop merits the two-hour journey, not only for its quality food but for the overall dining experience. I plan to return next on a Wednesday to sample the Jerk Salmon Seafood Pasta and kale, both of which come highly recommended by other patrons I have met while standing in line.

On our way home we stopped here at Roots. This is my new favorite stop!! They're very friendly and…read moretheir place is clean and bright. First off, I tried their homemade juice. It is magnificent!! The pineapple with ginger is fresh and bursting with flavor. If you've got a cold come get a juice with ginger. I'm feeling better already. Then I had the curry chicken with rice and mac and cheese. Oh and there was a salad. Y'all this was enough for 2 meals!! I will be back and I'm going to tell my friends in the area.

Their dark roast coffee is delicious and smooth. I got the French toast for my granddaughter and had to steal a bite. It was fabulous! This place is brand new but it was not crowded, probably because it was a weekday. Do not miss supporting this fabulous new restaurant! Edited to note: my only issue is the fact there is no changing table in the restroom.I know this is a brunch "bar" but there were families with small children there that morning and I would hate to see that be a deterrent for families in the future.

Hastily cut, uneven trim framed walls painted in a forgettable monochrome, giving the whole place a rushed, indifferent feel. The food followed suit. Between the three of us, we ordered a chorizo omelette, a veggie skillet, and a Roja skillet. The portions were surprisingly meager--closer to an appetizer than a breakfast entrée. The omelette was paper-thin, while both skillets were absolutely swimming in sauce. Not generously sauced--submerged. Beneath all that sauce were remarkably few actual ingredients. In the end, each plate reflected the room around it: bland, inauthentic, and carelessly assembled.

Got a few comfy sofas if you want to relax over a latte with friends, read a book with a coffee, or just relax. There's work spaces upstairs and a good wifi connection if you want to bring in your laptop and work over coffee. In addition to a great indoor ambience, there's also a drive-thru if you just need to grab a coffee or breakfast on your way to work. Honestly, really great place. Wish it were open a bit later for the university students to hang out, but I also understand the difficulties of overhead once you're outside of peak hours. Wonderful place, highly recommend.

Ordering a jerk tofu got me one of the more impressive renditions of such a dish I've ever seen, with ample sauteed vegetables and a sauce that delivered a robust, sweet and spicy flavor. The tea I got to drink was also sweet; I wish I had known that in advance as I would have just had water. I tried a coco bread (presumably with coconut milk in it), which was handy for sopping up my sauce but not anything that really jumped out at me. There were a few other vegetable dishes and an extensive selection of juices and Caribbean sodas, so plenty of ways to get the island flavor. This particular culinary tradition isn't all that easy to find in the U.S., so I was happy to have found it here.
