Great atmosphere and classic rock playing!

I decided to get some orange juice and Otto's Benedict, and I was really happy with my choice. I loved the hollandaise sauce, the ham, and the grit cake together. I think the ingredients really complemented each other. I think the portion was a good size as well! The prices were all very fair. I love this quaint and cozy brunch spot!

Definitely a cozy restaurant. The staff here were amazing. The wait time despite being crowded and…read morehaving no reservation was super swift. The food was also tasty. I enjoyed the casserole and gouetta which I'm probably spelling so wrong. The mimosa was literally made with a slash of the flavoring so be careful when consuming. If I didn't have a 7+ hour drive back i would have ordered more drinks during the meal . I really like the cinnamon roll which was gooey, semi sweet, sticky, buttery, and savory. The frosting wasn't over the top and the dough consistency reminded me of a fresh baked pretzel. If you don't mind the sidewalk you may dine outside. Overall 4.2 out 5

We were really impressed…read morewith their goetta, and I loved that you can substitute it for other breakfast meats in most entrées. A couple notes I'd share with the restaurant: the entrée prices feel a bit high, and the gravy was unfortunately too thick and under-seasoned for our taste. I'd definitely give this place another try, but I wouldn't order the gravy again. They also missed one of our entrées, so my daughter didn't get her food until about 18 minutes after everyone else. The ambiance is cozy and no-frills, giving that classic local diner feel. The service was extremely friendly, and you can tell they have a solid base of regulars who enjoy eating here.

The place is bright and friendly with what appeared to be many regular patrons. Our server was nice and helpful. I ordered an omelette with a hotcake and he got two eggs over easy with goetta. Our meal came with toast too. We ordered rye and whole wheat. Candidly, the food didn't have any flavor. The potatoes were the most bland. My veggie omelette had large sliced vegetables inside vs smaller pieces. The huge hotcake was thick and I'm guessing that's the difference between a hotcake and a pancake. It was good but not great. Glad we stopped by. Atmosphere very nice, service was great. We won't return due to the food. Just not good, no flavor.

We drove an hour to get there and since it's tough to time the drive during rush hour, we ended up being 30 minutes early but the staff was so friendly and welcoming right away. The event included a welcome cocktail, gin tasting, a tapas bar, live music, and a flower truck outside with a florist making up individual bouquets. Even without all those perks, it's just a really cozy place to hang out and have a delicious gin cocktail. Two of the staff individually told us about upcoming events and live music and encouraged us to come back. We will absolutely return and bring some friends with us next time!
