Everything about the experience was excellent, from the service to the food to the atmosphere. The loaded baked potato soup was delicious, creamy, and comforting. It had croutons on top that added a really nice crunch and made the soup feel even more satisfying. The potato salad was also delicious and paired perfectly with the soup. This was such a hearty, comfort-food style meal, and I would absolutely order it again. The restaurant itself was clean, cozy, and had a great atmosphere. The seating was comfortable, and the overall vibe made it a really enjoyable place to sit down and eat. Service was also excellent. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and quick. Atlas Eats is definitely going on my list of places to return to soon. It is a great spot for a hearty meal that feels homemade, comforting, and memorable.

Call ahead or hop on OpenTable, because walking in without a plan means you'll probably be waiting... and trust me, this place is worth the hype. From the moment we sat down, everything felt spot on. Our server, Ashley B, absolutely crushed it--attentive, friendly, and somehow always there exactly when we needed something without ever hovering. That kind of service really sets the tone. Food and drinks? Incredible. My husband went for the chicken and waffles paired with a whiskey sour--perfect balance of savory and sweet with a cocktail that hit just right. I had the Maggie with a classic mimosa, and it was brunch perfection. The vibe is another standout--quaint, cozy, and a little elevated since it's tucked inside the museum. It feels like a hidden gem but with a lively energy. And if you've got any room left (big if), they carry Cheesy Eddie's desserts... which is basically your sign to loosen that belt a notch and go for it. Already planning our next visit.

We came here for their Easter brunch buffet, so I can't speak to the normal quality and service…read more The Brown Hound had one of the more affordable Easter brunches in town, and while the menu wasn't posted when I called to make reservations, it sounded good. Once they posted it, it was a little less impressive, but at that point, we were committed. I will say that it wasn't the most efficient dining experiences. They didn't have online reservations, so I did have to call in. When we arrived, about 15 minutes early, they weren't ready to check guests in, so we sat down to wait. The manager came around to ask how many were in your party, and tell you which line to use to check in - they had 2 seating areas and 2 check ins based on party size, I guess. Then we had to check in and pay, but this didn't include drinks, so we still had to pay again before we left. The buffet itself was fine, there was a barbeque station that smelled pretty good, and a breakfast station that was OK. Vegetarian options were very limited. I had homefries and some scrambled eggs, neither of which was hot when I got them. There were sugar waffles, which were really good, and some fruit, several breakfast meats (I don't eat beef or pork), and some garlic parm chicken that looked good, but was incredibly overcooked, so neither of us ate it. Barbeque was only beef or pork, so I had salad and some of the mac and cheese, which was pretty good. There were some mini desserts - OK mini cannoli's, a pretty good chocolate cake, and some carrot cake that my guy ate while I was away, so I assume was good! I believe the desserts got picked over pretty fast and were not all replaced. Condiments were in plastic squeeze bottles at the end of the buffet line, and coffee extras were all disposable as well. So, it was fine, and the guy was full and happy at the end, but I was not super impressed and ate mostly salad comprised of lettuce, cucumber, and croutons.

Staff are always friendly and bring a bowl of water for the dogs without asking. Their pesto sauce is by far the best around hands down!! I always get it on my sandwich and on the side for dipping. Forever loving the tomato soup as well. They are consistently fantastic. The inside is kinda small which makes the warmer months great as the have outside seating which basically doubles the tables they can wait on. The hours change from some summer to winter, so make sure you look up online before you go.

We were a large group (12), and the staff were wonderfully patient and flexible as we poached chairs to sit together in their dining room. The portions were substantial, especially for the price, and I was very happy with the eggplant and chickpea burger. Friends also enjoyed some of the daily specials, and the cookies were lovely! At the recommendation of other reviews I chose the potato salad and lemon cookie to complete my "boxed lunch" meal, and both were delicious. The potato salad was a unique take on a classic, done with roasted potatoes, light but hearty. I'll definitely be back next time I'm looking for lunch near Eastman School of Music!

I can confirm that the shrimp and grits are wonderful as well as the waffles, home fries and everything else that we have tried which is pretty much everything. My aunt raved about the catfish nuggets. Their chicken and waffles are served with wings not tenders so that is also a big hit. The shrimp and grits feature jumbo shrimp, not the small ones, and the portion is large enough for two of us to split. Our family hosted a small gathering here in the fall and we recently went back, as a couple and had an amazing experience. I had not previously heard of this restaurant prior to my niece planning and making the recommendation, but we are so happy that we did. The food is nothing short of phenomenal. Did I mention that it is flavorful and delicious? Can I elaborate on how overly nice everyone on the staff is from the owner, to the wonderful people working in the kitchen. The atmosphere is modern with great vibes. The music is loud, but lends itself to a fun vibe. The mimosas are strong and a decent pour. Lots of good things to say about Vault, but the bottom line is that it is more than worthy of a visit. I have read other reviews comment on the wait. We have never experienced a long wait times. However, the dining room is not super large, so if you go on a Saturday or Sunday maybe use common sense and know that you'll be waiting longer during peak times. We dined midweek and waited no time to sit since there weren't many people and no more than 15-20 minutes for our meal. Our server, this time, could have been a little more prompt as it took her about 15 minutes to appear from the back to take orders for my table and another one. We have parked on the street during visits. Parking is not the most ideal, but we have managed to easily find a spot. All good things have been experienced during our visits. Add this to your restaurant rotation because we certainly already have! We like it.

The hostess talked to the people in front the of us for a good 5 minutes or so about what their options were because there wasn't a table available for them. The restaurant was full except for the one table that was probably reserved for us. The hostess never once looked at us, acknowledged our presence or said the simple words that make any customer happy, "I'll be right with you." So we walked out unhappy and went to another place in the public market that made us feel very welcome instead. It was disappointing and I won't be going back but we had a fantastic brunch somewhere else.
