We were greeted and seated fairly quickly. The pineapple mimosa was only $5. 2 out of 3 people thought it was the good. The food was reasonable priced. The fried green tomatoes were fresh and delicious. The breading was light and seasoned well. Everyone thought the food was filling and worth the price. The breakfast potatoes were not a fave but everything else was good. The waitress was attentive and friendly. The vibe is casual, cozy. There are cute booths, a high table, and regular tables. The menu includes breakfast/brunch and lunch/dinner entrees. There are also cocktails and non alcoholic drinks in the menu

Great place for Breakfast/Brunch! I had an amazing waitress that was very attentive even though they were the only one working today. The place had a nice crowd but wasn't too crowded. The music selection was great. The food was amazing. Definitely will come back again and also recommend.

I had a great experience. The food was good, prepared well and came out in a timely manner. The restaurant was clean. Not busy at my time of visit The waitress was really sweet. I do plan to go back.

Pictures of the pasta given. One shrimp cut into three pieces as well as ONE piece of overcooked steak and chicken cut into cubes

The Experience Pasta was horrible not worth $29. I was beat out of my money. I am so disappointed and will never go back. The fried tomatoes were beyond bland with no garnish or appealing. They didn't have collard greens or Mac and cheese. I hate I wasted $100 at this establishment. Keith Lee exaggerated in my opinion. I had to pay extra for extra sauces that were half filled. See photos. Diner

Waffle Plate ....

Our server, Morgan With The Long Hair, was incredible! Super efficient, friendly, and speedy. The food...excellent. Prepared perfectly. Simple, good, real. The ambiance was just fine. Super points for cleanliness. Overall casual and relaxed. Hubby and I are definitely coming back. Only con, it's been open for ~a year and we just found it. recommending to family and friends.

Dining Coffee (Was delicious!)
Fredricka S.

1st time visiting was for Sunday brunch. They have a nice size dining area but nothing fancy in terms of decor; however, they offer on-site parking which is a plus! Upon entering we were seated immediately (around 10:30 am) and our server came shortly thereafter. There are no brunch specials or bottomless mimosas but the food was decent and the service was great! I give The Dining Experience a solid 3.5 stars! I would definitely give them another try!

Strawberry waffles, eggs, sausage, hash browns
Kevin E.

The food was excellent. We had catfish and grits, strawberry waffles, eggs sausage, and hasbrowns. Everything was amazing! Great service. The food came quickly and hot. The price is affordable. I will definitely be back.

Fired Fried Green Tomatoes
Deja S.

Our server was great! I believe her name was Terry. The restaurant was clean and had a nice vibe. The food tasted good with the exception of 2 items that weren't my personal favorite. The salmon had a bit of a fishy taste rather than a fresh taste. The grits had a broth like base rather than a creamy one (personally I prefer creamy). The waffles were nice and soft. The fried green tomatoes were amazing. Crispy and flavorful. I would go back to try other items on the menu.

Shrimp & Grits
Theresa M.

The food, service, atmosphere was INCREDIBLE. And that does not even touch on how good the food was! I got the shrimp and grits; grilled shrimp. Was the right amount of EVERYTHING. The grits were creamy, shrimp beyond flavorful. The sauce they add on top of the grits was SO GOOD. The hubby got a catfish platter; he was having a hard time choosing between the catfish and fried chicken. With the waitresses recommendation he opted for the catfish. Let me just say she was right about it being the best. I've never tasted or had catfish so crisp, delicious, and moist! It's clearly a big hit since others had ordered it. I was surprised how empty it was, but they did say the weekend was packed. If you're in the area, or just visiting DO NOT PASS THIS.

Shrimp and Grits Brunch
Brittany M.

Came on a Sunday around 10 am , didn't need a reservation and was promptly seated. This place is a lot bigger than what it used appears to be on the outside. Great music , clean and cute decor. I didn't get a drink but friend got a mimosa she liked it they have different kinds like one with cotton candy. I got the chicken and waffle and friend got shrimp and grits. I liked it ! The shrimp and grits were good ! My waffle was blueberry ! It was soft and fluffy service was prompt and friendly . Only thing they were out of Mac and cheese bummer ! But i would love to return to explore the menu

Wings/Chicken and Dining French Toast Brunch
Steph P.

Food and service was amazing! We ordered the wings & French toast, pork chops, eggs, season fries, grits, and peach/mango mimosa!

Cheeritza S.

Been here 1.5 times. First time was for brunch, I had the salmon platter for $20. Now for that amount you'd think you'd get a decent size piece of salmon, but it was a slither. A well seasoned piece, but a slither nonetheless. I had a side of breakfast potatoes & eggs. My bew had the fried catfish & grits and his mom had the shrimp & grits. The Cajun sauce was lightly drizzled on top & the grits were basic. Came here a 2nd time and there were some complications with the seating situation, so we left. Beforehand, we had the salty fried green tomatoes & stale salmon egg rolls that was supposed to come with sweet chili sauce. However, we all agreed that it was definitely BBQ sauce. Lol For the price, the food wasn't worth it. The ambience was ok, but seating is tight. Givin them a three, because the servers were decent. The last server was just doin as she was told re: seating.

Food and service were great! Ambiance was a little lacking but we throughly enjoyed our meals. Thanks!

Friends were meeting here and I was intrigued. Interesting reviews and pictures…read more So decided to get there early and was not disappointed, except for one thing and it was kind of understandable. What I loved... The cute and engaging decor, very bright and colorful. I found a new favorite donut with their gluten-free red velvet. Moist and delicious Their signature dish of the egg on top of the hash browns was yum. Yum. The chunks of potatoes are crispy and the eggs were cooked just right. There was enough hash browns there that I saved some and cooked more eggs the next day at home Although my husband didn't like his scrambled eggs because he says they were as flat and not fluffy. And they were not very busy when we arrived and had additional staff come in as their peak hour approached around 9:00. The gal that was doing it all had to stop and make coffee and I think she rushed it a little bit because it wasn't hot and it was bitter... She gladly warmed it up for me and when she topped it off it wasn't as bitter

Parking: Free Located @ Trillith in Fayettville…read more This meal was really delicious, seasoned well, I was expecting whole a Hashbrowns but I got some cube potatoes that were slightly crispy on the outside & warm & tender on the inside, a half of a friend egg was on top, ai was definitely shocked to see half of an fried egg. It had peppers, onions, jalapeños & some crack sauce. All the flavors, spices & crack sauce just mixed all well together. The crack sauce is mato based. Customer service was good as the cashier answered most of my questions. I would definitely visit HERO again 4

Let me be very clear: the drive was 100% worth it. From the moment we arrived, the entire experience felt elevated. The seating, the staff, the food, the live pianist, the atmosphere, even the other guests -- everything worked together to create one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. And the food... I absolutely gorged myself on that buffet, with zero regrets. From the main selections to the dessert station -- which featured authentic bananas foster -- every single bite was incredible. The quality, the presentation, the flavor -- all of it was just out of this world. Honestly, part of me doesn't even want to write this review because I want to make sure I get a seat again next Christmas. But it would be a crime not to share how special this place is. I can't speak on anything outside of their dinner service, but if you go just for that, I promise you -- you will not, you cannot, leave disappointed. I would put money on that.

Driving up to this place is an old school converted to an elegant upscale restaurant and buffet…read more So when you walk in the restaurant area I was first surprised and amazed my the ambience. Because the outside DOES not match the inside. The seating, atmosphere and the music is pleasant and relaxing. The staff is super friendly and pleasant. The food was really amazing. And they have crab legs with the buffet (which I don't eat) but it's included too. I also had the Lemon Drop Coctail, which was the best! They also had a cute little dessert bar that included the miniature sweet potato pie! That was eye rolling, lip smacking, slap the chef good! Overall I really enjoyed myself here. I will be coming back here and telling my friends about it. Great job Studio Cafe!!!

Every bite of everything we ordered was a flavor, texture explosion. My compliments to the chef!…read moreAlso, I simply don't understand the low Yelp rating. Service was impeccable, too. True to hubs nature, his eyes are bigger than his stomach and he over orders wanting to try numerous entrees. My Southern Baby Wedge featured a quartered baby iceberg head that was super crisp and crunchy. It was beautifully garnished with blue cheese crumbles, tri colored cherry tomatoes, crisp bacon and pickled onions. The creamy dressing was a wonderful accompaniment. The several bites hubs shared of his Smash Burger were DELISH and the fresh thinly sliced onions and lettuce provided a nice crunch. Drippy, beefy, cheesy goodness! Hubs add on of Blueberry Pancakes were equally as fantastic as the other items we ordered. I loved the unique combo of flavors-blueberries, maple, lemon zest, vanilla bean - so yummy! We hope to return!

Had breakfast with buddy this morning at Prolgue. I was looking forward to it but left…read moreunfortunately underwhelmed. Now service was absolutely amazing. 5 stars for sure on service. The food on other hand was the problem. Ordered my eggs over medium. Most of my yokes were cooked hard. My toast most certainly was toasted and set aside hours before. Like one of the chefs just toasted tons of bread just so they'd have it ready. It was cold and tough. My potatoe hash was luke warm. My friend got the crabcake Benedict. His poached eggs were like way over cooked hard boiled eggs and the hollandaise sauce was way too thick. Couldn't even pour it over .
