    This no frills restaurant is serving up some delicious southern food! Do not skip on the homemade biscuits, not only are they huge but they are melt in your mouth delicious. The sausage and sausage gravy are really good too. Their home fries could use some improvement - there is no seasoning and need more salt, they also could be crispier. The service could also improve - they didn't want to put the biscuit on a separate plate that came with the meal for my friend who is gluten free. Also make sure you call ahead or have a reservation otherwise you will be waiting!

    Came in on a Friday morning and it was not too busy. We were seated at the bar. Pictured: The hot pepper chicken sandwich with a side of breakfast potatoes. I believe this might be a newer item on the menu. It was absolutely delicious - chicken was juicy and perfectly fried. The balance between heat and sweetness from the jam was the perfect combo in a bite. Also ordered, breakfast shots served with OJ and side of bacon. Great breakfast and staff were great. Definitely recommend.

    This place slaps you in the face with souther vibes the minute you walk through the door. Everything was delish but that SAUCE was top notch. They were attentive and made sure we were being helped even during a rush.

    This restaurant was recommended to us from a local! Plus the Restaurant was on Triple D! Everything we ordered was amazing! The friend chicken and biscuit in the dirty south was out of the world! The blueberry pancake tasted like a thin pound cake! So good! Our waitress was helpful in ordering and great personality! The restaurant was super clean.

    What a great place to eat! This short rib hash was phenomenal and rich! I think it needed more salt but the famous hot sauce was worth it! Service was great and we had Grace!

    BELT with potatoes

    The Cast Iron Kitchen had a real cute vibe. There was so seating outside, but too windy today to partake. I ordered the BELT with a side of potatoes. The sandwich was incredibly large, as were the potatoes. I had to cut the sandwich in quarters and use a knife and fork to eat the potatoes. The BELT is just a BLT with an egg and some sauces that were very tasty. The overall portions were meant for a giant. I took half home and sliced the potatoes into a more manageable size and reheated them in my air fryer. The service was excellent.

    I recently visited Cast Iron Valentines weekend. I called about 20 minutes ahead to get on the list (it was a 45 min wait). Arrived, checked in, and wait about another 20. Service was great but I wasn't enthusiastic about the food. I felt like the menu was just weird and a bit overpriced. I ordered an omelet which was just okay while my Fiance ordered the shrimp and grits. Th shrimp and grits were on the good side but just felt greasy. The restaurant itself was cute, farmhouse ish.

    We went to CIK at 10 am on a Sunday so we were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait & we were given the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The Maple Cinnamon roll is a MUST get & I enjoyed the robust flavor profiles in the Dirty South Biscuit bowl because every ingredient shined through. There were numerous breakfast cocktail options & my friends who ordered this enjoyed them as well. I took off one star because our waitress would ask us a question & walk away in the middle of our response every time she engaged with our table. She also tried to take our plates away when we were still actively eating off them. We weren't super bothered by it - just seemed strange because there wasn't a line or need to quickly turn tables that day.

    I had better omelette for much better price else where.

    I honestly don't know what the big deal about this place today I went for the first time and I won't go back again I don't recommend it the wait is more than 40 minutes you can wait outside or in your car inside the restaurant they definitely tell you that you can't enter until they call you after ordering our food another half hour wait and the truth is the food wasn't great the service was regular nothing extraordinary. The prices are high and the wait is very long.

    First off, one of the orders was for scrambled eggs which came out like a folded omelette. The eggs had a weird taste. Not sure if it's the oil they are using, but the egg whites didn't taste good either. The grits were weird and tasted pasty and undercooked. The country ham was dry and very salty. The biscuits were good and quite large enough to eat the next day with butter and jam. Overrated IMO. The service was great and the staff was friendly.

    No complaints about this breakfast! Everything was delicious. Of course being DDD fans we wanted to check out what Guy got - The Not My Mommas Meatloaf and The Dirty South Biscuit, both were really good and super filling. I had seen on another review that the service was bad but we had excellent service and food came out in good timing. We went on a Friday morning and it was busy but we were still able to get a table, I do imagine the wait may get a little long on the weekends. It's got a southern country chic feel inside, nothing too fancy but a great place to stop in if you are in the area!

    The service was a little slow but we went on a Saturday so they were a little busy. Very spacious…read moreand bright, which I like. We both enjoyed our food. There is a nice private area you can sit as well. We will go back again!

    This place is extremely popular, and I've visited multiple times before, including their coffee…read moreshops. A majority of the staff were welcoming, but when we first arrived, no one acknowledged or greeted us for about five minutes while we waited to be seated. Mind you, there was a line so acknowledging our presence would have been appreciated. There were also quite a few dirty tables that had not been cleared, which seemed to delay seating for everyone. I'm not entirely sure how their first-come, first-served policy works, but when it was our turn as a party of two, we were told the wait would be another 30 minutes. I had pointed at a table that people were sitting at and were boxing food and I asked if this table was available. She said no because that table was a table for four. I've actually been here with my husband and sat at said table of four. The party of four behind us was seated immediately, at that table. I completely understand that larger tables are often reserved for bigger groups, especially during busy hours, but it became frustrating when we ended up waiting over an hour for our food. The table seated after us had already eaten, paid and left before we even received our meals. There were also several careless mistakes throughout the experience. My cup arrived with lipstick stains and smudges on it. They did apologize and replace it immediately, which I appreciated. A dishwasher not washing a lipstick stain is not really in their control, but it is in their control to serve me a dirty glass. When my food arrived, it was completely covered in sesame seeds to the point that it looked excessive and unintentional. My husband actually watched the girl, who was the one in charge I guess of filling sauce and grabbing dishes from the kitchen, dump the sesame seeds onto the plate, and even our waiter, who was not the person handling the dish, agreed that it looked drenched in them. They corrected the issue for us, but for a meal that cost over $100 (including tip, for a table of 2) without alcohol, I expected more attention to detail. They were all really understanding of the issues and corrected them. On top of that, someone who was not our server added two extra drinks to our bill when we were paying. That was $11 on our bill. Again, mistakes happen, especially in busy restaurants, but after multiple issues throughout the meal, it started to feel careless rather than accidental. I do appreciate that staff tried to fix the problems when we brought them up, but I wish there had been more mindfulness and attention to detail overall.
