You can order coffee to go at the service counter, and they have a variety of options to make it what you want. There can be a bit of a wait because the coffee is made fresh at the espresso bar, and busy times can cause a delay (understandable). The staff was working as hard as they could. The thing that drew me in was that this has a very cute house like vibe. I also loved the patio in the back!

Honestly we didn't have a great experience here the other day for brunch. We expected there to be…read morelong wait times for tables in saint simons this weekend as it was a holiday weekend. We were told that it would be about an hour and a half for a table we were ok with that and put our name on the list. I would say it took about an hour for a table. Our server immediately came to the table to ask for our drink orders so we thought we were off to a great start. She also took our food orders rather quickly. However, after that she pretty much disappeared on us. She never once came by to ask if we needed any more mimosas or refills on our waters. She didn't even let us know that the kitchen was backed up. We had to ask the hostess to look for her as it had been 45 minutes after ordering and we had no sign of her. She was outside texting. She then came by and said it's a holiday weekend it's going to be busy and then walked away. Our food was delish and we really liked what we ordered but by the time we got it we had been at the restaurant for at least an hour after ordering. I had the breakfast sandwich that was basically like a bacon and and cheese with tomato on a sandwich with cheesy grits on the side. We waved her down to close out and left right after we finished eating. Server was not friendly or attentive.

I'm rating this based only on the service/setup because I never got to try the doughnuts. Must be…read moregood, considering! The line backs way up out the door. You can't see the doughnut selections. They are painfully slow at moving the line - like, you'd think they're preparing to order (they're not, they're in batches). So, you line up, wait forever, and get in only to find they have nothing left or nothing you want. There's no way to know when they will run out or what they'll have left. I found their ordering process to be a frustrating waste of time. Maybe get there as early as possible and you'll have better luck!!!

There were some great options which made choosing difficult, but we tried the biscuits and gravy (go ahead - get 2 biscuits!) and the fried chicken and biscuit. Both were great! The sandwich wasn't huge so it was a perfect amount for breakfast. We sat inside - it's very cute - with a market and to go as well as the tables. Food comes up fast and is really reasonably priced! The chicken was perfectly fried - not greasy - and the hot honey was a nice touch (and thankfully, not too hot). Good bathrooms and lots of tasty looking items in the refrigerated cases (including various types of seafood to cook).

I decided on a grits bowl . I was shocked at ghe size of the bowl when it was delivered a short while later. Huge is an understatement. The grits were well done, the bacon plentiful and lots of cheese. I could only finish about half of it. Really nice dish I will get again. There's not a lot of tables, and it would be hard for a large group but even if you have to wait for a table, it is worth the wait! I will return!

My meal came out incorrectly, and no one checked on us once after the food was delivered. No "How is everything?" No water. No opportunity to let anyone know there was an issue with my order so it could be fixed. We basically ate our entire meal without seeing anyone. Ironically, the one thing that did show up promptly was the check. It felt less like like they were ready for us to leave. The food has potential, if they can get the basics right and/or just correct what was wrong. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the overall experience could have been so much better.
