Nestled in a set of historic homes on a quiet street (with free street parking!), the restaurant itself is so adorable and creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is so kind and personable, you always feel like you're being fed at your grandma's house when you go in! I truly believe there is not a single dish from them that is nothing short of phenomenal. Today we had their specials consisting of shrimp and grits, chicken skin & hot sauce deviled eggs, along with a cup of the cauliflower parm soup. We also got their hot honey pimento cheese but they have that every day! Everything was amazing of course, and I find it so impressive how the chef & team is able to come up with such unique and delicious dishes every single week. Don't even get me started on their desserts. Everything they bake is delicious, but they've recently revamped their mocha tiramisu creme pie and I'm unhealthily addicted to it. I've had it on 3 separate occasions in the last week and every time I have gone, I have to order more than one! I really really hope they keep that creme pie in the rotation for a while or at least bring it back soon once it's done, because I don't think I'll be able to recover otherwise.

First attempt was a fail. Decided to give them another try and was disappointed YET AGAIN…read more I ordered 10 Cajun teriyaki wings, fries and calamari rings. All items were burnt, overcooked and lacked season. The calamari rings were unappetizing. Very disgusting. The wings were overcooked. To add insult to injury, I informed the restaurant I only received 6 of ten wings I ordered. I was then asked, was I sure? As if I could not count. The fries lacked season and was cold to touch. I do not recommend dining here. Highly disappointed

Yelp yielded the InsideOut Cafe. The weather was mid-seventies and perfect for dining on their porch. The whole backyard is clustered with tables & umbrellas, gazebo and lights that sparkle at night ( I'm sure. I was there at lunch) I had a breakfast wrap At least 150%better than any fast food wrap I've ever had. The wrap itself was thin, so you didn't feel like you were eating a mouthful of dough. The BACON was crispy !! Just right. I also had an ice coffee with pumpkin spice flavor! To top this off try the mint / chocolate tart ‼ It's a few miles off 178. Well worth the few minute drive.

I can't wait for it to cool off so we can go hang out with some craft beer and wine around the outdoor fire pits. The food was also great, coming in at 4 stars. I had the Cow Catcher sandwich (roast beef and cheddar with horseradish) and my wife had a turkey sandwich. The Cow Catcher was everything I imagined, very bold and tangy, layered with enough meat to balance the panini style toasted bread. My wife got a turkey sandwich, but hers was short on meat and didn't pair well with cheddar. The service was good, but the server was a bit awkward. We tried to be friendly, but she wasn't very talkative. She wasn't rude or anything, just shy and a touch awkward, so we give service 4 stars. Overall, 4/5 stars, and I'll definitely be back to see if they can upgrade to 5! Also, I want to try a "mystery beer" on the next visit. I was disappointed that we were the only ones there for about 30 minutes but when we left there were 2 other parties. Hopefully business picks up. I don't want B-L to lose such a nice spot!

The salad had a nice fresh flavor and the lettuce was so crisp and fresh. My intention was to save half for lunch the next day! Sorry not sorry, I ate it for a snack that night. Day two- I showed up again and got the veggie salad and added all kinds of extra stuff. I promise this is the best salad I have ever had. The veggies are so fresh. The flavors were amazing-craisins, bacon, eggs, cheese and so much more with the honey house balsamic dressing! I could have eaten the whole thing but I really need to take lunch tomorrow. Friendly staff, excellent customer service and great food! Don't forget dessert-I ate it before I could get a picture. Strawberry banana pudding. Spacious, clean restrooms and quick takeout! I love this place. I kinda want to keep it to myself but it's all good.

Whether you are looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner, they have great options available and I believe they offer soul food on Sundays. The Carolina Rice Balls are a signature item and you can choose your protein for the filling. The fish and grits were filling and nicely seasoned. I do wish the fish had been more crispy, but that's a personal breading preference. Service was very friendly! The person at the counter noticed that I had been taking pictures while I waited for my food and even held the boxes open so I could snap a few pics while it was fresh. I hope this business succeeds and I plan to return!
