    Biscuits and Gravy
    Jacqueline W.

    Went around 11:15 , was seated immediately service was quick , no issues. It was a very casual, relaxed atmosphere.We had the fried green tomatoes , a side of bacon and biscuits & gravy.The biscuits & gravy were delicious would definitely order them again. The tomatoes were equally tasty and would also order again. The bacon was good but they only give you one and half pieces of bacon for five dollars, will not order the bacon again. But overall it was a good experience will come back soon !

    Veggie platter & kickstart both with flat biscuits
    Karri S.

    Sadly mediocre at best. We just moved to the area and someone mentioned going here on instagram. No wait on Saturday around 10 am, which was good but also might have indicated that there's a reason there was no wait. The drip coffee is about as good as airplane coffee and I definitely didn't want refills. I got the veggie plate and my husband got the kickstart. The biscuits were super flat and the blueberry jam was so over cooked it was like a thick paste. The other jam option was pineapple jam which should never be a jam option. The fried green tomatoes on the veggie plate were room temperature at best . The syrup for my husband's "side of waffle" was def regular pancake syrup, not maple syrup. Overall middle of the road meal that we won't be trying again. I was so hoping for a better meal.

    Fish and Grits

    Fish & grits were amazing. Service was great, very cute and spacious place. Highly recommend.

    Spicy Chicken Sammy and Fries
    Vanessa E.

    Service was great! My card was accidentally run 2x with the clover app and they made sure not to double charge me. The food was great, nice quantities and several vegetarian options. The restaurant is conveniently located in Avondale estates on 278.

    Nice breakfast spot in downtown Avondale estates. The fish and grits was pretty good overall the batter was a lil on the salty side it overall the dish had good textures and flavors. The waffle was light fluffy and delicious also.

    Shrimp and Grits

    Our server was Kyle. I asked for a pineapple mimosa, was brought a peach Bellini and told to just try it... I also ordered the shrimp and grits, I asked for the eggs on the side and when the eggs were in the bowl I asked for it to be sent back and was told that they can't take it back for health reasons because it already came to the table even though I hadn't taken a bite. As someone who works in the food industry the service was disappointing. However the ambience was cute.

    Crispy Breakfast Dumplings
    Thomas B.

    I was heading home and on 285. Did a quick search for a breakfast joint on the Yelp app. This popped up with good reviews. Dang am I glad I found it! It was busy on a Sunday morning. Luckily I snagged a place at the bar. Got a coffee. Ordered the breakfast dumplings and then the hash with some eggs over easy on it. OMG both were amazing! The dumplings had a breakfast like sausage in them with a maple syrup on top. The hash had a ton of meat and cheese. Was super filling. Service was great at the bar. Food was amazing. I highly recommend for breakfast!

    Hashed out
    Sandra O.

    I seem to update my rating every 3 years. Another 5 stars. Service, staff, kitchen, flavors, all outstanding. Everything was perfect. My husband is a creature of habit, he always has the hashed out. I tried the spicy chicken Sammy. It was to die for. Possibly if I was in death row, I would order this as my last meal. Everything was amazing . Their home made hot sauce is superb. The plates are quirky. The decor is really nice, great lighting etc. The cocktail's are way too expensive. I say that as a bartender now owner. $12 for vodka and tomato juice is too much IMO That's my only complaint.

    Breakfast Sammy, side of hash browns
    Julie R.

    Great place for brunch! I love that they serve breakfast and stay open later as we aren't morning people. Simple menu with lots of great options. I got the Chorizo Tacos. The scrambled egg, chorizo, cilantro, and pickled onion was such a delicious combination of flavors. It was very flavorful but didn't feel too rich or too filling. I appreciate that they had simple syrup for my cold brew. My BF got the Breakfast Sammy. He said it was good but hard to eat because the bread fell apart. He got a side of hash browns which he didn't love. We liked the old school country music, and I love the location. It's in the middle of Avondale Estates downtown, 1-2 doors down from Garage Door Studio. Plenty of parking behind the storefronts. It felt like a nice and casual atmosphere with warm ambiance.

    Ice coffee
    Diamond R.

    I recently popped into Rising son for some ice coffee. The environment was very nice and inviting. They were pretty busy but we're still able to assist me. The coffee was amazing! I randomly met this very wise man and we enjoyed a very beautiful conversation. I ended up ordering 2 ice coffee's. Very nice place to eat breakfast as well.

    C.B.C.B (minus the bacon, plus fried green tomato)
    Erin S.

    We had a group of 4 at 10:30 am on a Sunday. We waited for about 30 minutes for a table. Service was good! Food was okay. Here's what we got: - C.B.C.B ($10): I got it without bacon and added a fried green tomato (and they didn't charge extra, which was nice). I really didn't like the fried green tomato. The seasoning on it was weird. This dish really needed honey or jam or something. The chicken was good. The biscuit was average. - Hashed Out ($12): I was told it was fine, but it didn't come with an egg, which I thought was weird. - Flatbread ($13): I was told it was good. Overall, good prices, but food was pretty average. I don't feel the need to go back.

    Ok, first off this is the cutest little set-up. Tons of parking, some in front and lots in the…read moreback. I suggest parking in the back. It's a walk up window spot with the menu and a bell, when you're ready to order, ring the bell. The service is friendly and succinct. Non invasive and just helpful without asking when needed. The seating area is a mix between covered and uncovered, with a small speaker playing contemporary tunes at a respectable level. There are string lights above, and I can only imagine how beautiful this all looks at night. I'd read a LOT about their fish sandwich. That it is a good size helping. That it has a great light fresh vinegar sauce with thinly sliced carrots and other crunchy veg. The fish tasted fresh fried. And I have to say, this is the Best fish sandwich I have ever tasted. I only am upset I hadn't come much sooner. I will have to return, probably on a monthly basis for that fish sandwich. There are enough pictures out there of the sandwich. But I also had the Thai basil lemonade and it was a nice pairing. Not a waste of time, effort or dough. Just go.

We bring friends here, and one friend in particular is so obsessed that he was dreaming of their food when he was on a film shoot out of state, and could not wait to get back. You order at the window, and can take it away or eat outside. The place feels like a party when the weather is good. I don't think it is possible to order badly: the owners keep the menu tight, and everything is SO FRESH. When they run out, that's it. (The curried carrot soup will go fast, I've found.) My husband usually gets the vietnamese fried fish sandwich which is delectable with lots of flavor and texture. We rarely eat meat, but I have made an exception to try the Moroccan lamb burger which was worth it. I usually spring for the upgrade to get crispy smashed potatoes instead of chips. And it's worth noting that the drinks are also well above average: I've enjoyed the indulgence of a Bravassi hard Italian soda with my meal on a lazy afternoon, after shopping at the Second Life thrift store. Their drinks are very good, and they serve them up straightaway to savor while you wait for your order to come up. I have not yet ordered a salad but they have an array of excellent / choices, and I know they will not disappoint. I also want to note that although there is not waiter service (which makes it an ideal spot to meet friends) the staff is friendly, and well above average. It's such a great vibe, and a real bonus of living in the area. They also serve breakfast, and I feel confident in their level of quality in recommending them as a stop for anyone.

Smooth on the spoon with that soft creamy finish that makes soup feel a little luxurious instead of just warm. The feta on top cut through it nicely. Salty. Tangy. A little flash of brightness in every bite. It gave comfort with some polish. Like rainy day food that still has good posture. The almond croissant was the one. Golden edges. A soft shatter on the outside. Then that dense almond center that lands sweet, nutty, and almost plush. The powdered sugar on top made it feel a little extra in the best way. Not too precious. Not too sugary. Just enough to make it feel bakery serious. The kind of pastry that makes you pause after the first bite because now everybody else at the table wants some. The tea was better than good. Clean. Smooth. Calming in a way that made everything else settle into place. It felt intentional. Not an afterthought.
