    Staff was very friendly and so was our waitress 10/10 customer service. We ordered biscuits as a little snack, it came with peach jelly and blueberry 8/10 Spicy honey chicken tenders with waffles 8/10 Tomato soup with half of an avocado sandwich 10/10

    Came here for brunch on Father's Day at 1:30. The crowds started to die down. Unfortunately the waiter told us the wait time would be about 30 mins. We got out of there at 3pm. I wish I could say the food made up for the wait but it did not. Ordered the sweet and spicy chicken and waffles. My daughter had the regular chicken and waffles and they both had a weird mixture of Indian spices. Not sure why. Couldn't finish it. Rest of the meal was ok but the service was poor, asked for syrup for the chicken and waffles-was never received and the food mediocre at best. Had a party of 6 and forgot to take more photos. Btw we had reservations at 1:30.

    I am a huge fan of the food here. The biscuits are some of the best I have ever eaten. All of the food seems to be well seasoned and flavorful. I really enjoy the Brussels sprouts and the healthy ginger turmeric drink. Yum! I thought the coffee was ok. The potatoes that I got for my side were extra crispy as ordered but were really really salty. My eggs were good! The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms. Customer service was a mixed bag. Our server was friendly but a little bit distracted having forgot our biscuits and coffee refills. At the end of the meal he was nowhere to be found and then a new server said he got moved to a new table. Not a deal breaker but a little funky. I would gladly come back. Highly recommended.

    The food was worth the wait. We had about a 10 min wait on a Wednesday about 1p. We were informed they were understaffed but it wasn't chaos and although pretty full, it was very clean and the staff was really nice. The food was absolutely great and so were the cocktails. My husband had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes and loved it. I would go back again.

    Biscuits and Gravy w/Scrambled Eggs
    Rob B.

    Wow! This place will become a frequent place to visit for us. The food tasted amazing, prices were very reasonable and the service by Ashlyn was excellent. The Biscuits and Gravy and the Mountain Morning Bowl were incredible. The wife also raved about the flavored ice coffee. I'd go here over First Watch any day.

    Ginger - Tumeric drink

    I was so excited to see that Gainesville had a Tupelo Honey as the one in Atlanta had closed, so we made the 1 hour trip to Gainesville, but I was utterly disappointed with the food. We ordered omelets, no meat, but meat ended up in my omelette, so they remade it and the remake was not good, the sauce was mayonnaise base that did not work well with the eggs, undercooked tomatoes and thick airy grits did not make matters any better. I left still hungry. On the brighter side, the service was great, the hostess was absolutely amazing and the restaurant is beautiful. We liked the potatoes, and the turmeric shots were made perfectly and even though the apple butter was amazing, the biscuits were not. Will I take this drive again???? NO -lol

    Tenders comes with 4 pieces - forgot a pic before we dug in

    Such a cute spot! Loved the vibe. Staff were on it even with it being between meal times. Hubby and I came for snacks + drinks then decided to do early dinner after all! We tried several from the spring cocktail menu. Loved every single cocktail! Had the Brussels sprouts then shared the chicken tenders + butter pecan cheesecake. Can I just say how insane the Mac + cheese was?! Creamy with a light sweetness at the end. Cannot wait to come back!

    Farmhouse Breakfast Platter

    How a real nice lunch here as we were in the Gainesville area. We had eaten in their Asheville location before. We were seated right away. Ordered our drinks and the fried okra starter. It came out with a spicy Alabama sauce that was great to dip the okra into. I ordered the farmhouse breakfast platter, my wife the Cobb salad, and my BIL the half chicken salad sandwich with Brussels sprouts as his side. My breakfast was great. Two eggs perfectly cooked, potatoes, and bacon. It came with toast and they brought a wonderful blueberry jam. My wife loved her salad with the fried chicken breast. The chicken salad was good along with the sprouts. This location is new and very nice.

    Shrimp and grits
    Dominic E.

    The food here is delicious. The biscuits alone are enough reason to come. On my last visit here, I had a biscuit, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits. Everything was perfectly seasoned, cooked, and tasted exquisite. I will definitely be back.

    Chicken & Mac and Cheese
    Cristina M.

    Just opened in Gainesville. They are super busy so give them time to work out the kinks!! Food was good, hot and flavorful! Staff is nice and attentive. Host was quick to greet us and we did book a reservation for their opening day. Chicken and waffles were great, biscuits were mid but we did not enjoy the flavor profile of the Mac & Cheese (just preference). Modern southern vibe with elevated flare!

    We were craving chicken tenders so we decided to stop in While on our way from Helen GA to Commerce. We were not really blown away but the service was good and the food was decent. Overall the vibe of the place is very nice just not a place I would come back to.

    Cute restaurant and good food! We were sat right away they have lots of seating. We got the breakfast plate. The grits are made with goat cheese and have a creamy rich flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly as well as the bacon. I love their "Bless your heart" glasses!

    Location and service was great. Very nice looking building with a lot of character. But unfortunately the food was not as good as it looks i'm not gonna go into any great detail. But if you're looking for awesome flavors. This is not it. I'm willing to give it another try maybe for lunch or dinner. But breakfast and brunch I'm done with that.

And I well be telling everyone else about the five stars I give this place. The only down side is needs more parking but I can look over that.

Decent selection of food, but most of it at room temperature or close. I didn't dare eat the chicken when it was clear that it had been sitting there for a while at room temperature, will be shocked if I'm not sick tomorrow. Same with the cobbler. I tried the rolls and garlic bread - both so hard as to be completely unpalatable. Salad bar was probably the best part, but everything there was very low quality as well. Beyond that, the food is all very underseasoned and bland. And how do you make cheesecake bland? I mean, how is that possible? All the server had to do was give my a seat, some water and clean utensils, and I did get a seat - but the knife had a big blob of something green stuck to it. They brought me a new glass of water when the first when dry, but it had a funny/bitter flavor that wasn't there in the first one. Considering the fact that the knife wasn't clean, I would assume the same went for the glasses. Worst of all, I left a tip at the table (not required for a buffet, and certainly not earned as noted above); but when I declined to tip at checkout, they had the nerve to ask if I had tipped at the table - as if tipping was somehow required. And then argued with me when I made it clear that asking was inappropriate. Incredibly rude and a terrible way to treat customers. I should have made more of a scene, but I calmly made my point clear, no need for more drama. Will not be going back, and will suggest nobody else does either - if you want a reasonable buffet experience anyway. Edited to add: After writing this review, I decided to research to see if I was the only one that had a bad experience, and found a LOT. On Yelp, they have more one star reviews that two, three or four stars - making me think that many of the 5 star reviews are not legit. Just go to Yelp, and sort by newest first, to see that 3 of the last 5 reviews were one star - 4 of 6 if you include mine. Also, according to the AJC, this restaurant has had multiple failed health inspections in just the last five years: November 2025: Scored 59/U (Unsatisfactory). Violations included food not held at proper temperatures and cross-contamination issues. December 2021: Scored 52/U (Unsatisfactory). The restaurant failed its routine inspection after staff were observed failing to wash hands, alongside improper food storage and temperature violations. May 2021: Scored 37/U (Unsatisfactory) 37? 37?? That's not just a fail, that's a not even trying.

    Where do I begin…read more..... Convenience-I love the fact that you can access this restaurant without having to enter the mall. It's definitely also a plus that you have a full mall parking lot to take advantage of without any need to pay for parking. Ambiance-The aesthetics are truly beautiful within this establishment! The pops of color, the light fixtures, the rose wall, the mirrored hallway...all very lovely and pleasing to the eye! Customer Service-From the hostess stand to the bar, waiter, and management, I give it a 10/10! Everyone was friendly, respectful and accommodating without question. My waiter was Will, and he showed the utmost level of outstanding customer service the entire visit! He gave wonderful recommendations regarding the menu, and he checked on us with just the right amount of consistency. He was friendly, personable, and kind! He genuinely wanted to make sure that the experience was memorable and it showed brightly & authentically! Food-I had the Fried Salmon Bites, Traditional Waffles & Fried Lobster, and Peach Cobbler. It was all cooked to perfection with such flavor! I had a lovely Wild berry drink that was very delicious. There was no wait, no crazy lines, and no pretentiousness. K+K is doing things right, and I thank you!

    I had a very disappointing experience at Kitchen and Kocktails. The customer service was extremely…read morepoor from the moment I arrived. I came in on a Saturday for a 6:15 PM reservation for a party of four. I arrived first on time and my first guest arrived at 6:20 PM. I was told I had to wait till the rest of my party arrived. I set at the bar while waiting for the rest of our party. My friend approached the hostess stand to ask if we could be seated as a party of two . Also, advised the Mexican girl that it will be only 3 but, we don't have to wait for her cause she's not gonna be eating since we're on a time schedule and was attending an event. The hostess was very rude and dismissive, stating "that's not how it works" in an unprofessional tone. Later, another hostess came over and said our reservation had "run over" at 6:35 PM, even though we were already in the restaurant before our reservation time window had passed and there were clearly open tables available. The restaurant wasn't packed at all. When we asked again about a table for two, we were told we could either sit at the bar or wait. The interaction felt very unwelcoming and unprofessional. We told the hostess we wanted a table for two to sit down and eat . The black hostess said , so you want to stay at the bar or you want a table . I said a table. She said , the bar ‍I said no a table. She then said that they could refuse service if we had an attitude, which was not the case . I simply answered her question by saying no . Told her I didn't know that saying no is me having an attitude. At that point, we chose to leave and not spend our money there due to the poor customer service and the rudeness of the hostess. Overall, the staff we interacted with on June 20th at 6:15 PM were rude and unprofessional and clearly need better customer service training. Based on this experience, I understand why there are so many negative reviews.

I happen to be shopping in Alpharetta and I had seen a TikTok review about his place so I decided to try it out. This establishment specializes in chicken. Everything is Korean chicken. I had the chicken sandwich with fries. This thing was huge. There is no way anyone is going to be able to bite down into the entire sandwich at once. I had to break it up into 2 pieces. It has this special sauce and grated pickles. It was so good. The bun was soft and the chicken was crispy. This was the kind of sandwich that would knock Popeyes chicken sandwich out of this atmosphere !!! The place was clean. It was quite a few people enjoying their lunch when I arrived. I was able to get a parking space directly in front of the restaurant and parking is free. You can't miss it and you don't want to miss it.

The…read morerestaurant itself is on the smaller side, so when there are a lot of people, it can get pretty cramped. From my experience, the service is self-serve! Someone brings you the food, but you put up your plates and stuff at the end of your meal. They also have a station for you to grab your own to-go containers and bags. The first thing to be aware of is to not let any of the photos fool you! The portions are very generous. Many people around me ended up taking to-go boxes (myself included). I got the Kang Nam chicken, the half-sized tteokbokki, and the kimchi fried rice. The chicken was crispy and tender, and the white sauce with onion was incredibly delicious. The kimchi fried rice was also very flavorful as well. The spices balance very well together. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the regular tteokbokki. It wasn't bad per se, but it also wasn't good either. I think there are better places to get tteokbokki, but no worries, their focus and strength here is obviously in their fried chicken. I would come again and would recommend this place to other people.
