    Hashbrown Platter with two sunny side up eggs (one eaten)
    Chris N.

    Classic American Diner style food. Simple but full of flavor. Nothing particularly fancy, but that's just fine. The prices are reasonable and the service is great. The omelette was nice and buttery and done perfectly. Sunny side up eggs were perfect, the hashbrowns were crispy and had a some shrimp which was different and good. The kids pancakes were nice a fluffy.

    The griddle is a cute diner with attentive service. If you sit by the door in the winter, prepare for a chill blast everyone someone opens the door. Brrr! The chicken and waffles were good with the strawberry butter. The pancakes were enormous! My cinnamon raisin French toast was okay and the corned beef hash grilled to perfection. The coffee was decent and the real half and half made it delicious. The kitchen and bathrooms were uber clean.

    The Griddle is the perfect spot for a laid-back brunch with a touch of homey charm! Think of it as your friendly neighborhood ma-and-pa waffle house, where smiles and great service are served alongside your pancakes. The staff was absolutely fantastic--attentive, kind, and quick to make us feel at home. The prices are refreshingly affordable, so you can indulge without breaking the bank. Whether you're craving waffles, eggs, or a good old-fashioned breakfast plate, The Griddle delivers that classic diner experience with a cozy twist. Also for parents, this is kid friendly but might be limited on high chairs!

    New Establishment Alert! Decided to try out a new spot in the area. The Griddle offers your traditional breakfast items, waffles, pancakes, French toast and omelettes. I also say NY strips on the menu. The service was decent. Pretty busy on a Sunday morning. Almost all tables were occupied. On Yelp, there is no number but there is a number listed on the Togo menus. I imagine they do take Togo order but I'm not sure. The staff was working hard getting orders out which I appreciate. I think wait time was 10-15 min (at least for my Togo order). The interior is pretty bland. Literally no decor but I guess it takes time for things like that. It definitely has potential. As far as the food goes. The Belgian waffle and pancakes were good. Nothing special, very much a home cooked meal type of deal. The grits needed salt or some butter (judge ya momma if you have an issue with salt or butter). The hash was soooooo dry and no amount of ketchup could save it. Overall, was the food "nasty", no it wasn't, but is there room for improvement, over course. Will I give it another try, I think I've seen all I needed to see but I would still recommend if you just hate Waffle House or Ihop (both relatively close and would likely make for a better experience).

    Great neighborhood breakfast/lunch spot. The area was in need of a place like this. Very clean, staff was very attentive and professional. We will definitely come back again.

    I wish I could give them 0 stars, so after hearing about this place from work, I decided to stop by and enjoy a meal. Food came out warm.... BUT IT WAS HAIR IN MY FOOD. The Manager was called over and he said it Happens!!!!! Hmmm... I've eaten around the world, cuz I'm foodie. But No it don't happen, that's disgusting!!! I I Don't eat my own hair so why would I want to eat somebody else's!!!

    Belgium Waffle with Bacon

    Upon walking in around 11am on a Saturday, we were immediately greeted and sat. Our server was very nice, attentive, and informative. The food came out reasonably quick after ordering. It was nice to watch the staff cook and make our food while waiting. It added the the overall home town feel the place had. There was plenty of seating, both booth and table, and they had a consistent crowd throughout our visit. A clear popular choice for both locals and passerby's like me. I had the Belgium waffle, bacon, and hash browns. I was pleasantly surprised at how filling, yet light, the meal felt. The hash browns had a perfect crisp without any oily residue, and the waffle was very airy and delicious! They have their signature strawberry butter that comes with every waffle. I'm personally not a huge fan of fruit with my waffle but I gave it a taste and really enjoyed it! With a whipped butter base, you could taste the strawberry without it being over powering. I tasted a little of my partners corned beef hash. It strongly reminded me of the canned version from the store, but since they put it on the grill to caramelize the beef it was very tasty! Give this place a try if you're in the area!

    I finally made my way to 45South after many years of being in this area. I brought an acquaintance…read morehere because I've seen this spot listed in several local publications and voted to be a great spot to try. After a nice park walk we came in on a Saturday. The inside is on the smaller side but in a cozy sense. Immediately upon entering we were greeted and welcomed. The staff were very friendly and inviting. They recommended items and explained them to us. Parking was easy at the time we went but can get tricky as the day goes on. We were there in the early am so it wasn't packed thankfully. When they delivered the food I was a tad shocked by the presentation. My potatoes, eggs and bacon came delivered on a metal pizza pan with parchment paper. Now it threw me off because I've never seen that and I expected it on a plate. The potatoes had been soaking in grease that didn't appear clean as the potatoes were tiny cut and dark. They also simply tasted of grease. The eggs were scrambled with not much to be desired and the bacon was good. The meal left me underwhelmed and needing to go get an actual meal after we left. Also the utensils were plastic. The experience gave more of food truck vibes than cute little cafe. I had a smoothie which I enjoyed. Although I don't after that I would come back if I did it would only be for a beverage. I was confused because I remember seeing the menu and it mentioned scrum-did-dly-ump-tious so I thought it would be a more southern well seasoned country style and it was more bland fast food style.

The inside offers a comfy cozy feel with lots of seating for people to work from. This coffee shop also offers outdoor seating - which is dog friendly. The baristas are great, and the ones that know me well have my go-to drinks memorized. 45 South offers homemade quiche and danishes on the weekdays, and has a broader menu (potato bowls, burritos, etc.) Friday-Sunday. On my most recent visit, my husband and I ordered our usual food and drink choices. Iced Butterbeer for him and an Iced Matcha for me. This is by far my FAVORITE place to get an Iced Matcha. The consistency is so creamy and yummy. For food, he ordered the AM Burrito which comes with chicken sausage, and I ordered a Potato Bowl (topped with an egg). On weekdays our go-to is always the Chicken Sausage Quiche. If you're ever in the area, stop by and try it!

However, we found some time, and here we are. It's not my first time having to wait because a place is busy without reservations, but during the wintry times... they didn't have much of a wait. We were seated pretty quick, but in the "outdoor" area that really needed the heaters to work for it to be comfortable. They do zip up the area to keep the wind out, but the cold still seeps in. When I eventually got my food, it cooled down faster than I could eat it. Now the food was good. I have a soft spot for breakfast/brunch and would honestly eat it for dinner if they offered it, but they do not. Regardless, they did not disappoint! Everything was flavorful and filling, the tostada and market hash being the standout menu items for me. The market hash, in particular, was such an unexpectedly delicious dish because it seemed too healthy to be good, but everything worked well together to not make it so drab. There was a good mix of different vegetation too. If I lived nearby, I would most likely opt to get that more often than not. If there was anything I would change, it would be the potatoes. They are soft and seasoned well, but I would prob be more likely to eat them for dinner than brunch. Perhaps that's more of a personal preference though with how I would imagine potatoes during the day and how I like them.

Well, hate to be frank, but our Souffle Pancake was just very disappointing. While the pancake was nice and fluffy, the toppings and presentation wasn't even close to being as good as they used to be. I felt this was new management, with a whole, new style of doing desserts maybe? In any case, we did think the pancake tasted good...but it was just lacking in the creamy topping, as only the top layer had this creamy base. The lower 2 pancakes had no cream on it...and tasted quite bland. Even the strawberry sauce was minimal...so minimal, I went up to ask for more. Also, the decorative toppings, including the strawberry, were just BLAHHH. If you come here expecting the Strawberry Souffle Pancake of the past, you'll be disappointed. So nope...just not pretty enough for Instagramming. Made me wonder if the rest of the desserts have gone down as well?? For drinks, my husband had Cappuccino, and I had this Oohlong Tea. Not pictured, but the presentation was just passable...and the taste was just OK. If I recall, their drinks used to be presented beautifully as well as their desserts...but from the look of things, that may no longer be true. Guess I may give this place at least another try. Who knows? Maybe it was just an off night?? Hopefully I can upgrade the review on my next v visit...should the dessert and the drink look and taste better. Fingers crossed??

I can't say much for the food nor drinks, as I only got a bagel with cream cheese. But what I can say about it is that it's quite basic, especially for a whopping $5. I feel bad for judging on such a minor item on their menu because it feels like they threw that on the menu just to appease the masses. It just irks me the wrong way to charge so much for something that is clearly just store bought. Otherwise, I do love this cafe. I will try more items and I definitely do recommend it. As for the bagel and cream cheese thing? Perhaps make your own cream cheese. Super simple to make. And definitely charge less on it I do wish you all the best!

Parking is shared with the patrons from the gas station, as well as the other tenants in the shopping center. The location can get busy at times, but the service is great regardless. The price for items is well worth it in my opinion given the portion size and the flavor.

Unfortunately, my experience today was completely different. I was served scrambled eggs, and just as I was about to eat a piece, I noticed several short hairs embedded in the eggs. I was extremely disgusted and almost vomited. I immediately called my server, who went to speak with the manager. The manager came over, apologized, and told me that they would remove my meal from the bill. While I appreciate the apology and the gesture, I was much more concerned about how something like this could happen in the kitchen in the first place. I asked the manager to speak with the kitchen staff because this is a serious food-safety and hygiene issue. What made this even more disappointing is that I have trusted this restaurant for years. I used to feel comfortable bringing my family here, and there was a person who always made sure everything was served properly and that customers were taken care of. It also seems that there has been a change in management, as I no longer see the same manager I used to. After today's experience, I no longer feel comfortable eating food prepared in this kitchen. Finding multiple hairs embedded in my food is unacceptable and extremely disturbing. I don't plan to return for at least a year, and unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this restaurant to others. I sincerely hope management takes this incident seriously and addresses the hygiene and food-handling practices in the kitchen. This was a very disappointing and disgusting experience after five years of being a loyal customer.
