I'm so sorry but the chicken and waffles....the chicken had no seasoning at all?? It was nice and crispy but so bland it didn't taste like anything???

Cheese Grits
Gab G.

Made a same-day reservation for brunch. The buttermilk fried chicken and sweet corn waffles were awesome - definitely recommend. Side of cheese grits were also solid. Great neighborhood spot, though it did feel a little expensive.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Pumpkin Waffles
Win C.

Super cute brunch place for a Sunday morning. We were craving southern comfort and wanted a place close to the Gantry State Park. The portions are on the smaller side but the food is delicious. We ordered the chicken and waffle, shrimp and grits, and a platter of fruits for the kids that are picky eaters. Ditch the strollers if you can help it cause there isn't a lot of space inside! Service was superb!

Good brunch spot. Not too long of a wait. Decent outdoor area. Good prices. Only giving this 3 stars because our food was pretty dry and our server took a while to come around with the bottles of water and see if we wanted more pitchers. I personally got the fried chicken with pancakes. Flavor was great, but the chicken was dry and the syrup just make my whole mouth feel very sticky. My dad got the burger and said it was very good Brother got the eggs Benny and said it was good Mom got a chicken breakfast sandwich and similarly said it was very dry Watermelon pitchers were great!

BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN AND PUMPKIN WAFFLE
Tony J.

Neighborhood diner type of eatery. Owner/manager has handle bar mustache (think coolest man in the world character). Great wait staff , super friendly and prompt. Coffee excellent, carafe mimosas and bloody Mary's. Full bar. And food is amazing and hearty. You won't leave hungry or with anything left on your plate. Something for everyone even the annoying vegetarian cousin lol.

Fixin' to Feast
Carol C.

I came here for brunch on a weekend and there were still a lot of seating for my date and I to chose from! We picked a little area close to the window and sat down. It had a nice cozy feel while still being spacious enough. Every item on the menu looked and sounded incredibly amazing. I wish I had a big enough appetite to get at least 3 dishes to try. I did settle on a Fixin' to Feast which included 2 eggs of your style, biscuits and gravy and some yam hash. I must say that on presentation, very appetizing and inviting! Those biscuits and gravy were the star of the dish!!! The savory thick gravy atop a crumbly warm biscuit was so soul hugging- paired with a side of sweet yams! When I saw hash- I thought it would be crispy. Though it was slightly underwhelming, flavors were still very good. The sweetness of the yams helped balance the saltiness and heaviness of the gravy. Then the blanket of scramble eggs completely the brunch meal! Wait staff came by to check in on us a few times and made sure we enjoyed the food too! Overall, nice staff, service and great ambience on a weekend to start the day on! The location is great because it is just a few blocks away from the waterfront/pier where you could walk after the brunch and hang out!

Brunch menu
Pat R.

Group of three enjoyed Caesar salad; Brunch burger with home fries; Southern Eggs Benedict. All were good, Fun diversion-Eggs Benedict served on two small pancakes with option of regular or jalapeño Hollandaise sauce. Staff were pleasant and not intrusive. Cocktails were very good! Room was on the cold side- Most patrons wore their hats and jackets while eating. Even sitting on the metal chairs was a little bit of a wake up! That being said- appreciate energy savings and once acclimated it was not a problem.

I definitely enjoyed my brunch today! Food and drinks were on point. Let's get into the food shrimp and grits good portion size and flavorful. The pancakes were good also. My hubby had the big breakfast which also looked really good and he shared that it was also good. Service was good as soon as we sat down our drink order was taken and then our food order shortly after. This was a nice tucked away location ambience was welcoming. I would definitely recommend to others!!!!

Pulled Pork Yam Hash
Koreen D.

Was looking for a brunch spot in LIC and saw Jackson's with their southern food menu and decided to give it a go. Pretty good place for brunch with generous servings. Lots of proteins with both orders. Pulled pork yam hash was great with lots of meat. Eggs were runny. Nice Chicken and pancakes. Decent. Crisp. Fluffy pancakes. Overall decent brunch spot. They have both outdoor and indoor seating. Note that indoor seating is not dog friendly.

Hush Puppies
Emily G.

Ate here as a party of 3. The service was very on point, but then again, we were the only people there at 6pm on a Friday night. We first ordered appetizers: hush puppies and fried green tomatoes. I didn't love the fried green tomatoes- they could have been crispier. The breading was disjointed with the tomatoes itself. My uncle really liked his catfish entree, and my boyfriend liked his ribs. I got the fried chicken. The sides of the potato salad and the collard greens + bacon were decent. The fried chicken was super crispy, but it wasn't that flavorful. I wished there was some sauce served with the dish, or it had more salt. I added salt and asked for honey mustard - they had a hot honey sauce, but both didn't add much to the chicken. Overall it was good food, okay option for Southern cuisine. Very casual spot that had a mix of a sports bar feel in the front (there is a TV!) and general dining. There's also patio dining!

Outside
Ginger B.

Sunday brunch party of 4. Convenient location, a lot of tables, great service. There will probably be a wait for brunch but the food was worth it! We shared mac and cheese and ordered for our mains: Farmer's Omelette, French Toast, Avocado & Burrata toast, side of biscuits and apple butter. We each enjoyed our food! I had the Omelette with a side salad. Great portion and I love the cornbread croutons. The mac and cheese also had a cornbread crumble. The biscuits were buttery and flaky and the apple butter was the perfect accompaniment. I didn't try the other dishes but the French toast looks AMAZING. my friend said it's his go-to order.

Chicken
Allison L.

This was a brunch to remember! Especially if you love southern comfort food, you will definitely not be disappointed! Order the Mac and cheese, French toast, chicken and waffles and biscuits! Also got the shrimp and grits, which I didn't love b/c the tomato paste overpowered the pallet. This place has great service and a lovely open space with great ambiance! Recommended for a big gathering, you will not be disappointed!

Sliders, tacos & Loaded Deviled Eggs
Natt A.

I went for happy hour with a friend and the specials were great with each food item being $7 (we ordered burger sliders, tacos & deviled eggs). We also each got a Moscow mule that was $10 each. There's a lot of space and you can have HH anywhere at the restaurant. It wasn't too busy when we arrived so we had a lot of options to choose from. The service was pretty quick as well. We enjoyed the sliders and deviled eggs but the tacos weren't authentic as we would have hoped. I would still return for the HH deals!

Love the bar stools at this place tho, they have backs and the chair is cushioned! I appreciate a good back to a barstool. I ended up coming a few days later and the vibe was much better. The bartenders must have just been tired from their previous shift that one Thursday. They were really great on a Saturday. The happy hour is pretty nice $5 for shot and $10 for a marg. ::bathroom alert::: Very inconvenient when you're at the bar. It's like a maze getting down there. The bathroom is clear tho, I'll give them that. They were playing live music for like 90 minutes. There was literally no one at this bar on a Thursday night, so much for thirsty Thursday. Theres a section off to the left that has a pool table and connect four. On a Saturday night they are playing Spanish music, most people know Spanish music and drinking is super fun!! I can totally see why this place doesn't have a lot of pictures. I don't see how a lot of people wouldn't it is cozy. At the end of the day this places prices are reasonable for this area. They get the five stars because the music was good and the prices were good. $7 for an ipa isn't so bad.

The main reason I'm writing this review, though, is about the service. We were a party of seven, including a toddler who became a bit fussy toward the end of the meal. To be fair, he was making some noise--but the restaurant itself is already fairly loud and buzzy. When we tried to order dessert, our waiter told us there was "a dessert place down the street, Spot Dessert Bar, also Thai-owned." The comment felt odd and, frankly, like we were being encouraged to leave. Shortly after, he returned to say the toddler was being too loud, which led his mother to take him outside while we waited for our dessert (thank god they allowed us to order some! :| ). I understand that the noise was occasionally disruptive, but if a restaurant provides high chairs, it signals that families are welcome--and young children can get restless. Given that we spent close to $600 for our party, the situation could have been handled with more tact and courtesy. We started the evening satisfied but ultimately left disappointed. I wouldn't go back because of this experience.
