The space isn't huge but it's very cute ambience with a chandelier of plants cascading the ceiling with simple decor. We both ordered chicken and waffles, the chicken is perfectly fried. Crunchy but not too much or less batter that holds a juicy thigh. The seasoning felt simple but the flavors were anything but. The waffle was big and dense with the outer layer having a subtle crisp that reveals a soft interior. Again, very subtle seasonings, they are not overloading the food with masses of flavoring, these people know how to work around their ingredients and let them shine. The chicken and waffles get a phenomenal 9/10 We also purchased an order of Fish and Grits to share with the lobster sauce on the side as I have a slight shellfish allergy and the waitress insisted on putting it in the side even though I told her it was ok (I appreciate the consideration). I rarely order this type of meal but man do I not regret it at all. I'm not even sure what kind of fish I consumed but it was so perfectly fried with the gentlest breading that complemented the perfectly cooked fish. Again the seasonings are subtle, it's not really the boldest of flavors, it just tasted good. The grits were savory while not being overwhelming when combining the fish which ended up being very satisfying bite. The Fish And Grits gets an amazing 9.5/10 I will be coming back, I'd like to try more of what they offer. These people are masters of frying things to perfection while retaining the core flavors of the protein. The staff was friendly and you can feel the soul they breathe into the place. I highly recommend giving them a chance.

It's cash only, which I happened to see as a pop-up box on the website. So it wasn't adverts enough for my friend to have known this. I was disappointed about my eggs because I asked for them to be over hard. They were runny. I might as well stick to scrambled eggs at this point. Other than that, the food was mediocre at best. My friend said her hash browns were hard. The orange juice was the best thing I had. Service was okay. I wasn't really anything spectacular and it took a while for the server to come over in the first place. It's pretty inside but it was cold. It's winter time--I could use a little more heat!

With many unique and intriguing looking options. Our sandwiches were fresh, well crafted and flavorful. The soup ranks high on the scale of best we have had anywhere while eating out. The interior is a remodeled old home and dining areas are sectioned off in separate rooms of the house, giving the place, a comfy, relaxed, dining atmosphere. Large windows illuminated the room where we ate. Despite the wet weather, the light filled the dining area. The wintered hydrangeas just outside, added charm to my view. The perfect spot for morning tea. Our service was friendly. The staff was attentive, and our experience a pleasant one. We will definitely be back to sample more on the menu and highly recommend you check it out.

Their bagel sandwiches are also amazing and they have a really spicy habanero sauce that goes with it. The shop is small but has a decent amount of seating, I have trouble getting work done inside because they get so much foot traffic and I'm easily distracted. Also parking can be a hit or miss because it shares the lot with the train commuters and I wish they were open later because sometimes I crave the BBL at 4pm BUT even with all that said I still give this place 5 stars because I enjoy their food/service that much.

Our meals would usually cost around $35 at most, so imagine our shock when we went in one day and were charged over $150 for TWO people. We ordered something as simple as bacon, eggs, home fries, and orange juice. Then we realized they were charging everything à la carte, even charging us separately for the eggs. When I questioned the manager about the bill, her response was simply that "prices went up." There was no real concern or attempt to explain why a basic breakfast for two had suddenly become over $150. At that point, I honestly felt like we had been overcharged. For those prices, I would expect a completely different level of experience. I shouldn't have to pay $150+ for two people to eat bacon, eggs, home fries and drink orange juice. Needless to say, we haven't been back since. It's not even about the money at this point. It's the principle and how the situation was handled. When you have loyal customers who have been coming to your restaurant for years, you shouldn't make them feel like they've been taken advantage of and then dismiss their concerns. Very disappointing because we genuinely used to enjoy coming here.

I had a small intimate baby sprinkle (baby shower) here with my family and friends. We were about to book in advance and come 30 mins prior to add some decorations to the area. The area was semi private. There were other guest behind our group but it was fine. The staff was soooo helpful. They helped my mom set up. My mom felt a little dizzy so the manager gave her a fruit bowl and some home fries. That was so nice! The other manager Molly worked with me prior to plan The whole thing. She even went above and beyond to make custom baby shower menus for usssss. It was a nice touch. I am someone who was very overwhelmed with planning a traditional baby shower and just gave up on the idea all together until my friend suggested a small brunch. I am so happy I listened and picked this place. I will absolutely be coming back! Also I lovedddd all the eagles and Philly sports decor plus the brunch vibe. So I can see myself coming to watch the game or just enjoy the food. Everyone loved their meal. No complaints and the price was very reasonable. I just want to thank them again for making my experience so special.

That said, the most disappointing part of our experience was the hostess whose interaction with a customer came across as noticeably rude and unprofessional.
