We ordered the bacon biscuit with grits and the avocado toast, and everything was absolutely delicious. The grits were the standout item for me. We learned they are made with locally sourced grits from a North Georgia mill, and the cheese combination created an incredibly creamy texture and rich flavor. The coffee was excellent as well and was served in a large mug that we really appreciated. We also discovered that the coffee is sourced from a small local roaster in Johns Creek, which fits perfectly with the restaurant's commitment to supporting local businesses. The dining area is somewhat small, but there is bar seating and outdoor seating available, which provides additional options. We also found out they have a second location in Johns Creek near our neighborhood, so we'll definitely be giving that one a try soon. Great food, excellent coffee, and a strong commitment to local sourcing make this a place worth visiting. We'll be back! BAM!

Ava helped us and was absolutely awesome and friendly throughout our visit. We started with beinets that had a lemon curd smear on the serving plate. The beinets were perfect, airy, light, hot, and covered in powdered sugar. They were awesome without the lemon curd but, when you added it to the beinet, a very tasty addition. We also ordered coffee and a cappuccino with vanilla, both fresh, hot, and tasty. We then ordered the she had the Avacado toast with crispy potatoes and I had the fried chicken and bourbon waffle. She really enjoyed the avacado toast as it is her favorite place to have this meal. The chicken was fried perfectly, with the right amount of heat in flavor, the bacon jam and maple syrup, what a great depth of flavors, I absolutely loved this dish. I had some of her crispy potatoes, they were awesome, the salting was spot on perfect and added so much flavor.

Originally…read morewanted to go somewhere else in Johns Creek across from St. Ives, but ended up at Jam and Toast instead. Easily one of the most disappointing brunch experiences I've had in Georgia. They both had a 96-100 minutes wait time at 8am while this place was 15. The place was packed, but packed doesn't equal good. The table to my left had 6 people and barely anyone finished more than 30% of their food. The table to my right, another group of 4, also left most of their plates untouched and didn't even bother asking for to-go boxes. That honestly should've been my warning sign. Both were Korean customers which I suspect is also the owners and hostess. The 6 people left $5 cash tip. I ordered the "English Breakfast," which didn't feel authentic at all. The jam tasted off, and the pancake was bland and forgettable. My mom ordered the salmon eggs Benedict, and she almost never leaves food unfinished, but she couldn't even finish the two Benedicts. She's a pretty frugal person. The coffee was another disappointment -- almost $9 for two drip coffees that tasted like gas station coffee. Service was also painfully slow from start to finish. I can name several brunch spots in Georgia that are miles better: Hen Mother Cookhouse, Egg Harbor Cafe both in JC, Buttermilk Kitchen, The Select in Atlanta , and Mama's Boy in Athens ga . All of them have better food, better consistency, and are actually worth waiting for or even driving there. I believe the all star breakfast at Waffle House tasted better.

I dropped into this hometown deli the other day - it's not far from my work, and I was completely impressed! I was in the mood for a good deli sandwich, and I was blown away by the menu! I ended up trying the Double Decker Club, with a side of pasta salad, and it hit the spot. And to top it off, their Coca-Colas are the Mexican Cokes in glass bottles made with real cane sugar! Looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu! read more

Just discovered this cozy friendly breakfast/lunch deli in downtown Buford. Food is made from scratch and awesome. We had the breakfast sandwiches and plan to return soon for their homemade soup and to try one of their meal entrees.

Be warned they are not serving breakfast and they don't open until 10:30. Yelp is incorrect. We did end up waiting until they opened and the food was good. Since we were the first ones there, we saw a crowd come in after us. So seems like a popular place. Place was clean and felt like a small town deli. I would recommend. We were just super disappointed because we wanted breakfast and even there hanging menu was incorrect. read more

Main St. Deli has a cozy vibe, but it feels like it has some kinks to work out. The sandwiches are good, though not mind-blowing. Service was friendly but a bit slow during lunch hours. It could use a little more attention to detail in the menu options. Overall, it's decent for a quick bite, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. read more

The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and every meal we've had has been outstanding. The service has been just as impressive.

It makes a huge difference and saves a lot of waiting. That's exactly what we've been doing, and it's worked perfectly. In fact, the restaurant has been so good that I've already eaten there twice in the same week!

I live pretty far away so when I'm in Buford, I like to take a trip up to Flowery Branch to hit one of the of the cute little restaurants in the area and this week I tried Whistle Q for the first time. I am sure they are a direct competitor of Moonies which is also good, however, completely different vibes and dining rooms. Whistle Q is a great date or friends & family place. They offer patio or inside dining. Very casual yet very nice. Moonies is more of a carry out type spot or maybe work buddies joint. Extra casual - rustic but I love their BBQ sauce station at Moonies. The attached photos are an afterthought and a day later - refrigerated. I am so sorry - I didn't take photos when I arrived home to see the beautiful array of food from Whistle Q. While I initially thought it was kind of expensive, when unboxing everything and seeing how far it all goes...it's not expensive for the quality or quantity. The sides are 8 oz cups fully packed - shareable when you have a variety. We bought ... - 3/4 lb beef brisket (beautiful bark - excellent flavor - perfect texture) - BBQ Pork sandwich which I thought was pricy for $17. It has so much meat it literally makes three bbq sandwiches - so that is a great deal! The photo shown had a full portion of pork removed for another sandwich (buy a pack of buns from Publix!) - Coleslaw (mayo base) - Collard Greens (the most perfect seasoning I didn't even bother adding my hot pepper vinegar) - Mac & Cheese - Beef Tallow Fries - (delicious! oh my I'm glad I tried them when fresh and crispy - they don't travel well and arrive home soggy) What did we love? EVERYTHING! We are very impressed with the beef brisket and pulled pork and I love all the sides. I am dying to try their chili cheese fries when I can stay and dine in. The ONLY tip / suggestion I have is to get better to go bags - they use plastic bags that don't hold form and they leak - I recommend for ToGo you carry a grocery bag or something with a flat surface to keep the juices from leaking out. One other thing - if someone does not care for pickled onions or pickles - request to pack them separately as the liquid does bleed into your brisket and sandwich.
