    Chicken and waffles
    Alicia W.

    I found this gem through Door Dash and I have never been disappointed. Today I tried their chicken and waffles and it was delicious! I've also have had the catfish and french toast! Definitely a diamond in the rough!!

    Upon arrival, there was a wait list. We placed our name on the list to receive a text/call. The wait was less than 10 minutes. I think that was awesome for it to be during brunch hours on a Sunday without a reservation. They do have a buffet option upstairs with a mix of breakfast but also soul food lunch options. I said I will most definitely return to try it! The establishment used to be a hotel but is now renovated into a restaurant. I love the glass front kitchen window, to see how the chefs are showing their phenomenal skills. The seating is somewhat close on the lower level, similar to an old school diner. However, we opted for the bottom level seating to dine from the menu. Even though our server was new, she made sure she answered any questions we had about food selections to ensure excellent service. The food was delicious and seasoned to perfection. I was sort of nervous at first with the peppers for the waffles, so I requested it on the side. However, I tried it once it arrived and I wasn't disappointed. It was odd but with the eccentric spin, it added a new texture from the every day "chicken and waffles." The potatoes were seasoned to perfection and cooked enough to give a little crispness. My friend said thr French toast were buttery and tasty.

    Thee Breakfast

    Wonderful food and a wonderful experience! The restaurant is very small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm! The people who work there are so nice! They greet you with a smile at the door and you never stop being appreciated. My wife and I got Thee Breakfast. I got the pork belly, early potatoes, scrambled eggs, and spicy honey biscuit. She got the same thing with turkey sausage. It was amazing. The biscuit itself could be a meal. The eggs were tasty, the potatoes were seasoned to perfection, and the pork belly hit the spot. Our server, Deidre (if I spelled it right), was sweet, prompt, and friendly. She even complimented my wife's eyebrows the moment she greeted us. My wife just had them done the day before which really made her feel good. We can't wait to come back. Historic location, but the food and the people make it all worthwhile.

    I really enjoyed my experience at Hen & Egg, overall the service was great our waitress was very attentive and the food tasted like an elevated home cooked breakfast. My only complaint would be the food had a bit of a burnt grill after taste so I would keep an eye on that in the kitchen but even with that I would come back again! Rate: 8.5/10

    THEE Breakfast

    Walked here from the Folk Festival, and it was worth it! I had THEE breakfast with port belly, grits, soft scramble, and a biscuit. My sister enjoyed to chicken and waffles with sweet peppers and blueberries. The food was great and the waitresses were very nice. Very calm vibes while we dined. They have a buffet that we are coming back to try.

    Shrimp and Grits. This was after I ate part of it. It was full of shrimp!

    See all

    The food there is wonderful! The buffet style service has all options covered. Salad, meats,…read morevegetables, bread, and desserts. Pay as you enter, and then fix your plate! There is plenty of seating, even if you have to sit upstairs. All the staff are helpful and keep your glass full. A trip there will not be regretted.

I wanted to go Tuesday but coworkers didn't want to go out. Tried to go Wednesday but they were closed for dinner. My flight was leaving later in the day on Thursday and I had to try to go. Online it said they were open at 10 am. I checked out of the hotel and headed to the restaurant. There were already a lot of people waiting for them to open. To my surprise they opened at 10:30. When the doors opened people were "fighting" to get inside. This is a buffet setting. You pay before eating. To go plates are available for purchase. There is an upstairs eating area. I think there were 3 hot stations, a cold station, and a desert station and an ice cream machine. All the food looked so good. I had to get a little taste of everything. The fried chicken and fried chicken livers were Hands down my favorite things. I like greens that are tangy with a little spicy - these were not that. The cornbread was hard couldn't eat it. Everything else was ok. Nothing that I had that "gotta go back for more" feeling (except the chicken). There were so many offerings, and they have Pepsi products. They have a drink station but The servers bring you drinks. I definitely would go back again if I'm in the area.

    Stopped by after work to try some of the Cinco de Mayo 2026 special menu items (05/01-05/05). It…read morewas not overly crowded and it was open seating. We were greeted shortly by our waiter Caden. Our waiter was extremely polite and very attentive. I can only speak in the items I personally tried the watermelon jalapeño margarita was a 7.5/10. There wasn't a strong watermelon flavor and there really wasn't a kick from the jalapeño. The bartender wasn't definitely not shy with the liquor but it wasn't over powering. The shrimp and crab ceviche was probably a 8/10 ( could've been a 9/10 but it had cucumbers in it). It had a tad bit too much lime juice or lime taste. The shrimp and crab dip was delicious! 9/10. Fresh chips as well. I really enjoyed the pickled red onion addition was really good. Overall Saltine has a great menu selection, warm and welcoming vibe.

    Lovely looking place…read more The service was good. Pretty much right there when you needed them with decent recommendations. For appetizers, I loved the lobster and spring roll. That was delicious. Also got the lobster and crawfish dip ok and one can never go wrong with calamari which was also good. For dinner, I had the salmon and grits and kale. It was ok because not quite what I was expecting - I was expecting spicy and it was too sweet for me but might be my fault for not fully reading the description and being focused on the Cajun seared aspect of it. It was still good though. Nothing superb but filling and loved the crunchy kale on top. Really liked that they were open on a Monday and they were fast. At one point, too fast because one of my co- diner's dinner came too soon while still eating their salad. For dessert, we got the cinnamon roll cheesecake and shared it. I only had one bite because it was too rich for me but it was very tasty and good. Unfortunately, we didn't get the oysters which is THE item to get here but it was otherwise a good visit.
