Food is good but a little on the bland side. On this particular morning I got a ham and cheese omelette with hash browns and a side biscuit with gravy. The has browns were very crispy. The down side was biscuit was cold along with the gravy. My wife got a Belgian waffle with bacon, eggs and grits. The waffle came out overcooked and had to be remade. The grits weren't overly hot either. The service was good and staff were very friendly. The interior was very clean and nice size unlike waffle house with very limited seating. Overall decent, but would explore other restaurants if available. Contrary to the sign, they are no longer 24 hours. They are open every day from 6am to 10 pm.

As for the type of food, there is a lot of typical Southern food on the menu. The service was great! The cashier was extremely friendly and brought wonderful energy to the restaurant. I got the Breakfast Burrito with Grits. I was not impressed by the burrito, unfortunately. I felt like it needed more flavor, either in the meat or elsewhere. I also think more cheese, specifically inside the burrito rather than on the outside, would have made it taste better too. Moreover, the burrito was soggy! I was not a fan of that. The grits were also a bit too watery for me. I had to add salt and pepper, along with the butter given to me in my order, to give it some depth. While I think that this is a lovely local restaurant, the food could be better. I would give it a 2.5/5 stars if I could.

You can't go wrong with any of it. The vibe inside is so relaxed. They have tons and I do mean tons of beers on tap as well. Whether you want to hang out with friends or have a dinner with a drink, this is it! The dark walls and slow music they play really bring the tone down and let you relax. Even though it's got a decent size bar, it's not overly loud. You could definitely bring your family earlier in the day and enjoy good food together. The service is outstanding and the guy that runs the food out seems like he knows everyone in the building. We had a very nice waitress that hustled throughout the room getting orders with the quickness. Even as busy as it was there never seemed to be a table or patron neglected. Anyone near downtown Hickory should make this a regular place and those out of towners looking for something comfortable with a different twist like tofu shawarma would love this restaurant.

A great selection of proteins on the steam table and a nice variety of the classic breakfast offerings. A big plate of scrambled eggs and I was able to add cheese sauce and mushrooms on one side of my plate. On the other, some sausage links (very overdone) and some sliced ham (extremely salty). Lots of other high carb options available including biscuits, pancakes, French toast sticks, cheese and plain grits, home fries and tots. Something that might have been fried chicken livers and also some pieces of fried chicken. A dessert bar with banana pudding, jellos and fruits was also available. The place is clean and the service was great, clearing dirty dishes and restocking coffee creamer. A satisfying meal for sure. [Review 542 of 2026 - 4637 in North Carolina - 25724 overall]

Eye rolls when I asked for one thing. The main problem was the credit card charge. It's for credit cards only. I told the woman at the front that I was paying with a debit card. She added the credit charge. This is, according to Visa, fraudulent. I told her l what I was told, that Visa said that you can't charge a credit charge on a debit purchase. She dismissed my comment, saying "that's the way it's set up here." The reason is set up that way is that they set it up that way. Also, She pulled my check away so that I wouldn't notice the difference. I love a local business. The food is good, and it's a much loved institution here. I don't appreciate someone stealing from me. Pay cash, or eat elsewhere.
