The food was delicious, came out relatively quickly, and the menu was simple without feeling limited. The first morning I ordered the biscuit breakfast sandwich, and it was incredible. I especially loved that it came with a really flavorful sauce that kept it from feeling too dry; it was also huge. I've never had to question finishing a simple breakfast sandwich but this time I had to re evaluate towards the end. After telling our friends how much we loved it, they told us they always get the biscuit and gravy burrito so I knew we had to go back and try it. The burrito was huge, packed with flavor, and I loved that it had actual biscuit pieces inside instead of potatoes. My husband ordered the same egg breakfast both days because he enjoyed it that much. Despite being very busy both mornings, with a line out the door each time, the service was fast and efficient. The restaurant only has outdoor seating, but we had no trouble finding a table on either visit. We'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a hearty, satisfying breakfast. My only real critiques are that they only serve hot coffee. I know it's not a coffee shop, but especially during the warmer months, having iced coffee as an option would be a nice addition. Someone opening a coffee shop in the same shopping center would make a killing. The prices are also on the higher side. My biscuit and gravy burrito with an orange juice came to about $27 after tip. It was absolutely worth it while we were on vacation, but if I lived nearby, it would probably be more of an occasional treat than a regular breakfast spot. Overall, though, the quality and portions, made it a place we'd happily visit again whenever we're back in town.

Beforehand, we worked with Jessica to develop an all-vegan menu, and she prepared a tasting meal for us. We wanted our wedding meal to be southern-themed, and Jessica came up with creative and tasty all-vegan options - macaroni and cheese, grits, collard greens, biscuits, bbq tofu, and a peach salad! Plus vegan fried chicken and waffles as an appetizer that guests raved about. We were very pleased with the tasting and decided to hire her for our wedding. The pandemic put our plans on a year+ long hiatus, but Jessica stayed in contact with us throughout and made herself available on the day of our wedding. She also made time to come by the wedding venue a few weeks beforehand to scope things out, which was really helpful. On the wedding day, Jessica showed up right on time, and dinner was ready exactly when it was needed. She also worked with us on pandemic-related precautions, which was appreciated. Overall, it was a really great experience, and we highly recommend Jessica and Humble Bumble Catering.

He did not return any calls or texts on the day of the wedding, leaving us to scramble to find tables, dishes, food, bartending, servers, etc for 150 guests and venue staff. Thus, I cannot comment on the quality of the food or service because THERE WAS NONE. As for communication, two days after the wedding, he sent an email that actually begins "I'm sorry I flaked on your event." I'm afraid I find that communique a bit lacking. There have been several convoluted,, ungrammatical emails and texts sent since, but all fail to explain why, apparently, no one besides Mark expected to provide service, food or bartending for this wedding which was arranged and paid for months in advance. It seems that no one in his employ had access to an address, phone number, email, or vehicle to attempt provision of services. He has intimated that our family's 1 star reviews are somehow to blame for his inability to even attempt to make this right. I'm confused as to how many stars he feels are warranted in this situation. The families of the bride and groom were stressed and distracted during what should have been a joyous day, and that can't be recovered. In this case, the one star reviews matter far more than the fives. **Update: 8/3/26 Received the same cut and paste reply to this review that he sent to others whose events he also failed to go to stating that he'd like to take "full responsibility" for the problem. Start by refunding the thousands of dollars you took in advance of our May event! We haven't seen a cent.

The burgers seemed sloppier than usual and just weren't as good as they've been in the past. What really bothered me, though, was the 3.95% credit/debit card service charge. I didn't notice it until after I had already paid because the only explanation was printed at the bottom of the receipt. If you're going to charge customers an extra fee for using a card, that should be made very clear before they order so they have the option to pay cash. Between the food that wasn't up to par and an added processing fee, this visit just wasn't worth it. I don't mind paying for good food but I don't like feeling nickel-and-dimed over an extra charge that wasn't obvious before ordering. Transparency goes a long way.
