5% "take out" fee added to the bill
Kristy B.

I have had this place on my to-try radar for some time, but talk of the crowds and wait times for brunch on the weekends have kept me away since I am not a fan of either of those things. Decided today that a Friday morning should be a safer bet, but I am working, so I scheduled a to-go order for myself and a couple of colleagues. I ordered the breakfast burrito with a side of hash browns. One colleague ordered avocado toast with a side of hash browns and the other a custom biscuit breakfast sandwich. The whole order was ready to go in less than 15 minutes. I received a text message that it was ready on my way to pick it up. Everything was packed properly including napkins and plastic utensils. The heavenly smell of the hash browns in the car after I picked it up made my taste buds water all the way back to work. The order was processed correctly and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the food. The avocado crema that came on the side with my burrito was delicious and surprisingly spicy. I probably could have done without the hash browns on the side as the burrito itself had a generous helping of them already. Prices are definitely on the high end, but portions were generous and the quality of food and taste ensure that it lives up to the price point. I can't speak to the service beyond preparing and packaging the food since I just picked it up, but it was a bit surprising to see a 5% takeout fee added to the total of what was already a rather pricey breakfast. This added a slightly bad taste in my mouth despite the yummy food, and is the sole reason why I am giving four rather than five stars. I don't see how charging more for takeout is warranted and feel like this detracted from my overall experience a little bit. Will it stop me from ordering again if the mood strikes and opportunity allows? Probably not, but I will still resent that it's there at all. While I loved the food and I doubt this will be the last time I have it, I don't think I would be willing to endure the infamous long waits for seating and food on the weekends, so it will have to stay as a weekday treat for me.

Breakfast bowl

I stopped by before visiting a vendor for my company. The interior has a southern home made aesthetic that I enjoyed. Both the parking lot and interior are also small so big parties would probably be harder here. I ordered a make your own bowl. But now that I've had that experience the plates are a better value. 2 eggs, hash browns, avocado mash, chicken sausage and an orange juice came out to $22. The highlight of the whole meal was a house made habanero hot sauce. This is the first place where this was an option and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have places closer to home with about the same menu, so I won't be traveling back. But I did enjoy my experience and the staff.

Biscuit & Gravy
Caroline Y.

This place is so cute on canton street in Roswell! There is both inside and outside seating, and because it's a small restaurant, we had to wait about 25 minutes for a table of four, but it wasn't too bad. You can order drinks to have while waiting. There isn't an option to reserve ahead. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was yummy! I got the biscuits and gravy, nice a salty with maldon salt on the top and made with pork sausage. The hash brown was a nice small plate, golden and crispy, similar to Waffle House. The Bloody Mary was pretty solid -- complete with pickles, lemon, lime, and a piece of bacon! Parking is very limited in a small lot behind the restaurant, a bit of a bear.

The burritos were amazing! Everything tasted fresh. Small and quaint little place that's got a smaller menu, but worth the wait if you're wanting a good, fresh bite to eat in person. The jalapeño crema that comes with it is also good for a small hint of spice!

Build your own bowl with Grits
Braden G.

In an adorable house with a great patio in downtown Roswell. I did not park there, but be used to Roswell having my limited parking. The staff was incredibly friendly. We had a slight wait, but they were very responsive with the text to tell us the table was ready. Food was delish with very large portions. The biscuit, house made hot sauce, and chicken sausage were the highlights of the meal.

Amazing experience- Serena was helpful and fantastic- as a traveler to Roswell, this will be a permanent spot when I come back to work- Food was delicious, fresh and exciting What a lovely atmosphere and the patio is sweet.

Monkey bread

Amazing brunch spot! We got a build your own bowl, monkey bread and the breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious and fresh.

Avocado Toast
Bob J.

This is the best breakfast I've ever had. Everything is so fresh and heavenly. The Monkey Bread was so flaky and to die for. The avocado toast was so so so delicious. The side of sliced tomatoes were so unbelievably good. I never knew tomatoes are supposed to taste like that. I am sure that I'll be coming here again and again.

The best Philly Cheesesteak I've ever had

Everything I've gotten here is delicious! I just discovered the restaurant a few weeks ago, and I could eat the Philly Cheesesteak at least once per week (forevermore), 'cause it's SO good. Perfectly executed. We've only ever gotten our food to go, but every person who works there with whom we've interacted has been so warm and friendly. This is 100% on my favorites list going forward.

Iced Coffee @tiffhuangry
Tiff H.

Good gracious there is Gracious Plenty to save the day. I intended on taking my family to Fellows down the street for brunch and made the mistake of NOT making a reservation. We didn't even park as we drove past and saw the lines outside the door. Yelp came in clutch and pointed me in the direction of Gracious Plenty. It was 2021 when there was really only outdoor dining when eating out - and they had a quaint window to order from. The menu was super basic and straight forward. Options were limited, but to be honest, too many options make it harder for indecisive girls like me to choose just one thing. I started with an iced coffee (because it was the only caffeinated option on the menu) which I quite enjoyed, which makes sense because it's from my favorite Peach Coffee Roasters. I ordered a pimento cheese & bacon & sunny side egg biscuit - I was also tempted by the almond cake which was a perfect accompaniment to my iced coffee, and not too sweet. My parents went with the classic Bruce's Plate to share and my mom was SUPER adamant on ordering an extra side of hash browns, too and she was so pleased with it. Overall, everything I ate was tasty - nothing fancy but a solid breakfast. I'm assuming the menu may have gone back to more of a normal now - otherwise, many of the past items I tried I can make myself!

Big green egg
Ashley W.

Gracious plenty- when you first pull up there is a parking lot in the back with limited parking. You'll notice two big green eggs outside and if you know about the big green egg grills then you'll know they make an amazing smoke flavor on your foods!!!! The inside of the restaurant is cute and homey. I live that the menu is simple. We didn't wait more than 5 minutes to order and our waiter Austin was very nice. I didn't feel overwhelmed making a choice. I noticed their specialty deviled eggs promotion and decided to give them a try. They were sweet and savory not too much seasoning. I opted for the Bruce's plate which includes 3 eggs cooked how you want, a chicken sausage link, 2 slices of bacon fruit and a biscuit. They also have create your own bowls with which you can create a base of grits hashbrowns or a sandwich then shoose your toppings. My husband got the breakfast burrito and the jalepeno cheese comes on the side. Thanks goodness because it is spicy! I loved it but my husband doesn't like too much spice so it's good that you're able to put it on at your own leisure. My Bruce's plate looked good the bacon was very flavorful and a little sweet. The biscuit was soft and buttery! and the jam tasted like orange sweet and tart. The chicken sausage was ok lit has a little spice to it. The eggs were cooked to perfection over medium. I was a little disappointed with the seasonal fruit as it was just and orange and I was expecting a small Medely so I would suggest asking what the current seasonal fruit is. My husbands breakfast burrito was good. It had eggs bacon and hashbrowns inside. they also have a green salsa verde that he tried with the burrito that enhanced the flavor as well. My only hiccup was that a small piece of what appeared to be dog hair was on one of my eggs but Austin saved the day he immediately took the food away and deeply apologized. He had the food remade in less than 5 minutes brand new eggs and all! I feel the price was fair for the quality of the food. When the bill came out Austin had comped the meal for me!!!!I was just appreciative that they had made my entire meal over without giving me a hard time. The biscuit was my favorite out of everything and yes BETTER THAN POPEYES. But we needed a nap after all that food! We will definitely be coming back!!!!!!

Does Gracious Plenty have easy parking available?

Hey Ellie, there's parking in the back but don't think anyone would associate the word "easy" to it. It's limited and fills up quickly, as does the restaurant, so plan your trip accordingly.

So there's no "biscuit and gravy" OR "gravy" on their menu but I see some people posting pics of biscuit and gravy... it's not on their menu on the website, or actual photos on yelp here.…

Its on the menu in the restaurant. The web version doesn't have everything.

They needed to clean the booth, so we waited, but when we were taken to our seats, one side of the booth still had cocktail stirrers on the seat. (Likely 4 smaller people would have been able to squeeze into that booth, but knowing we had 3 larger adults in our party of 5, I asked if we could move to a table.) Moving to the open table required a manager's override. Very thankfully, a waiter asked if we'd been helped, when he noticed us standing near the hostess stand, and explained that a manager needed to make the change to a table with chairs. (The hostess did not explain that to us.) The waitress at our table was polite to us and provided excellent service, but it was clear she was trying to rush us along. I ordered the almond encrusted trout, which was okay, but the mashed sweet potatoes were served cold. (Maybe it was wrong of me to assume they would be served warm, as I have had sweet potato salad at a Korean restaurant that was served cold, but seeing that my husband's mashed potatoes were steaming hot, it was another disappointment.). When we told them that we were there for my husband's birthday, they did comp us the cost of a dessert and put a lit candle in the desert for us. However, the overall experience and food were just okay, not great, as we had hoped.

Unfortunately, our excitement quickly faded before we were even seated. When I walked into the restaurant, I was completely ignored by a young blonde employee named Claudia who was standing behind the counter in the waiting area. She looked directly at me and continued what she was doing without so much as a greeting or an acknowledgment. A simple, "Good morning, someone will be right with you," would have gone a long way. Since no one else was in the lobby and I noticed a clipboard on the counter, I politely asked if there was a waitlist. Claudia responded with an attitude that she "wasn't the hostess." I calmly asked where the hostess was, and she simply replied that she was clearing tables. There was no offer to help, no explanation of the process, and no attempt to assist me. She continued interacting with other staff members while I stood there feeling like an inconvenience. Thankfully, another employee who appeared to be a waiter noticed me. He immediately picked up the same clipboard that had been sitting on the counter, took my name and phone number with a cheerful attitude, and let me know it would be about a 15-minute wait. His professionalism completely contrasted with the poor customer service I had just experienced. Once seated, our waiter was personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was also very good. I ordered the Chicken Sausage Scramble with hash browns, and it was delicious. My friend ordered the Catfish and Grits and thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. The food and our waiter helped redeem the experience, but first impressions matter. Management should ensure that every employee understands that providing basic courtesy and hospitality is everyone's responsibility, not just the hostess's. Even if greeting guests or managing the waitlist wasn't Claudia's primary role, there was no excuse for being dismissive or rude to someone walking through your front door. Alpharetta has no shortage of excellent brunch spots with both great food and outstanding customer service. Sadly, because of the way I was treated before I was even seated, I won't be returning to The Southern Porch. I also won't feel comfortable recommending it to friends or family. It's disappointing because the kitchen and our waiter did their jobs well, but one employee's attitude overshadowed what could have been an otherwise enjoyable brunch.
