I found this place because I was watching a video from a content creator. It’s definitely giving special treatment for them. The salmon grilled cheese is mid I make better at home. Please do not do it. Also definitely don’t be fooled by videos you see cause it’s not the same for regular people. There was no sign of Salmon in my sandwich. It was cream cheese with sprinkles of spinach and salmon and the bread was soggy asa I got it. It taste like a mush sandwich. I went back and said hey this doesn’t look like the video and was told the content creator paid extra. So I paid extra and still didn’t get any salmon just more cream cheese mixture for $8.18 extra. If you can find the salmon let me know please. My total was $24 for the saddest sandwich ever. Don’t do it. The last picture is the content creator’s sandwich. You can actually tell it’s salmon. They responded with a sorry it was not to my liking but it was clearly false advertisement and content creator favoritism. I gave them a chance to fix it and paid for it but they didn’t do it.

My cousin and I visited this establishment today after coming highly recommended from my homeboy, Brown’s Food Review.
My first impression was definitely delightful.
Clean establishment, extraordinary customer service and the menu selection was a great assortment.
I couldn’t decide what I wanted because everything listed was appealing and it smelled delicious in there
I got the breakfast hash, which consisted of pork bacon(don’t judge ), beef sausage, scrambled eggs w/cheese over fried & sweet potatoes
The portion was exactly what the friendly woman said.
It was so many different homemade drinks to choose from but I chose the half & half, tea & lemonade.
Chinese carryouts who They have absolutely NOTHING on that goodness.
They had desserts too but I purposely overlooked it because I didn’t need anymore temptation
The courteous woman & gentleman was exceptional and so patient with my decision making and overall experience.
She wasn’t playing about needing a nap after eating because I’m currently laying down after that meal
10 out of 10.
Highly recommended.
I’ll be back to experience the lunch menu soon ✨️

I was in the area, googled “breakfast near me” and ended up at this spot. The cashier was cool and very patient, that was my first time there. I ended up ordering the salmon cake platter with fried apples and a side of pancakes
Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, I was not satisfied. That cost me $27 and the food was no where near worth the price. The pancakes were alright but everything else gets a thumbs down. I got excited when I heard the lady mention fried apples as a side. I instantly thought of my grandmother fried apples. Its very rare that I come across a place that makes fried apples so I just knew they were going to be good. Unfortunately, the entire salmon cake platter reminded me of school lunch. It just didn’t do it for me. There was an odd taste to everything, I just can’t put my finger on it. I’m sure they have alright food based on the other reviews but not my meal selection.

The staff here are so nice and helpful! And the food is delicious I’ve had their salmon grilled cheese and veggie hash topped with salmon cakes, and both times the food was amazing! The grilled cheese is crazy cheesy but also crazy delicious lol. Service is great but be prepared to wait 15-20 mins as orders are cooked fresh. Larger orders will be closer to 20ish mins. It used to be a challenge getting to the on weekends before closing at noon but they recently extended their hours to 2 pm. Much appreciated! This place is to-go only btw.

The food was really good I got the salmon and grits and my boyfriend got the catfish and grits. Everything was so good I had to come back the next day and get more.

I heard about this restaurant on social media and wanted to give it a try. I ordered the Cheesesteak with fries for $24.95. The fries were cooked to perfection and well seasoned while the cheesesteak was a bit bland to me. It’s a hearty sandwich but lacked the flavor I was anticipating or expecting. All it needs is a pinch of salt and fresh black cracked pepper. That’s it! I will be going back and I will make that suggestion. Wait time was excellent. I think I waited 10 minutes or maybe less.

I heard this place had a good steak and cheese…… they do. Thick cuts of steak, fresh ingredients, and soft roll. Multiple variety of wings, honey hush puppies, grilled cheese salmon, smothered chicken poutine, and salad options. You definitely have to get the homemade drinks.

The Instagram stories and post are not adding up. I got the salmon cheesesteak. It was mushy vegetables were undercooked. It was no seasoning. It didn’t really taste like anything and my friend got the Philly cheesesteak no seasoning. The cheese was hard by the time we got home. He didn’t like it And for the cost that you pay for the sandwich it should not be that way.

The pictures on the website and the videos from the content creators were appealing however that was not the case. The brisket and grits, was a day or two old, not fresh. I couldn’t enjoy the meal as I kept placing hard/ crunchy brisket in my napkin leaving me just gravy and grits to taste. The pancakes had no flavor as it was immediately thrown in the trash by my child along with the apples which required a little more sweetness. What child would throw away pancakes? The shrimp and grits was okay as you should make seafood fresh to order. The bacon and sausage sandwiches, what can I say…I know to just make that at home with the other items I have ordered My money was wasted on what I thought could have been a great experience based on the content creator recommendations. I was wrong!

Absolutely the worst breakfast experience I’ve ever had.
I ordered two breakfast platters—the Ribeye Steak Platter and the French Toast Platter—and both were downright disgusting.
The eggs were bland, powdery, and dry, with zero seasoning and no cheese. The ham was paper-thin and overly salty. The French toast had a weird aftertaste, and the so-called “ribeye” steak tasted more like a low-quality Salisbury steak you’d find in a school cafeteria—definitely not what you’d expect from a restaurant charging this much.
To make things worse, the order came with sweet potatoes that no one asked for. Absolutely nothing about this meal felt restaurant quality. I spent over $40 just to have my morning completely ruined.
There is no way this place deserves a 4.4 rating—I’d barely give it a 0.5 based on the food I had. Maybe dinner is better, but I won’t be back to find out. Extremely disappointed. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.
Also, I’d like a refund.
