I found this place on TikTok (shout out to @SlumWiz) and it was great! A few of us went to their happy hour on Thursday and got their $1 wings and $1 Margaritas…..when I say everything was delicious!!! The wings were fried and seasoned to perfection and the margaritas were on point too…… but what I enjoyed the most was the service, from the bartender Tori to the cooks (sorry I didn’t get their names). Very friendly and outgoing. Some people came in with small children and they went as far as to cut the food up into small pieces for them. Hats off to them! I will definitely be back and I will tell others about this place!!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this Valentine’s Day brunch was unbelievably disappointing. We had reservations and still waited 20 minutes before anyone even acknowledged our table. The music was so loud that we couldn’t even have a conversation, we were sitting right across from each other and still had to practically yell just to be heard. It completely ruined what should have been a nice, relaxed brunch.
Once we finally ordered, it took 45 minutes for our food to arrive. When it did, all the backs of my French toast was completely burnt. We were served half-filled glasses of water with no ice. They don’t offer coffee or breakfast juices. There were no napkins, no salt or pepper on the tables, and we were given plastic silverware, which felt cheap and out of place.
We had to ask for syrup, and what we were given was cold and hard. The bathroom had no toilet paper and no soap, which was honestly shocking. The entire place felt extremely disorganized, and the staff seemed inexperienced, as if it was everyone’s first day working there.
To top it off, the food tasted like it was all frozen and nothing seemed homemade. For a reserved Valentine’s Day brunch, this experience was frustrating and unacceptable. We won’t be returning or recommending.

My friend and I came here to get some good brunch and vibes. It so small on the inside but it nice. The food was 10/10 . The main things i dislike they only gave me four shrimps with my Alfredo but charging $8. But the food was great and seasoned. Our drinks and some food took a little time to come out. Also I wish they had hookah on Sundays but it only Friday and Saturday. But would come back again nice food and atmosphere

EVERYTHING about this spot is a VIBE!!!
I’ve literally eaten my way through half of the menu and have NOT been disappointed!!! In addition to EVERYTHING has been SUPERB, the portions are beyond generously filling. ALL of the staff that I have encountered have been incredibly welcoming, kind and accommodating.

We came for Saturday brunch today. The music was nice, but at one point got really loud and we asked for it to be turned down. My friend had to ask for the sides she ordered originally since they gave us the wrong sides for her. My other friend and I didn’t receive our orders for another 10 minutes and my French toast was lukewarm but the sides were hot. Overall, I was disappointed with the order and preferred it be hot but I was hungry so I ate it. It tasted good, and the server was kind.

Ive visited before and had a few issues, but after this visit, I won’t be back. We were seated pretty quickly, but it took the server 30 mins to come to our table. The employees tend to gather around the bar area and just congregate taling amongst themselves. We ordered drinks and appetizers. I asked about a particular drink, but was bought a different one than what I asked for. The drink tasted like only mixer. (I think the server did it on purpose). We ordered chicken wing appetizer and when it was brought out, I asked for small plates for me and my guest. I was told the didnt have any. When I asked for one like the chicken came on, I was told no and not offered anything else, so my guest and I ate off the same plate over napkins and put our bones in napkins, which sidnt take long, because i notices the chicken still had feathers on it, so I didnt finish it. Speaking of server, ours was terrible, she was very short and had a dismissive attitude, wasn’t very solutions oriented and just overall made our experience terrible. Your hostess, which was a young man, was very sweet and kind. This business will close soon, because I’ve seen the other reviews, yet you still won’t change anything. This place HAD, so much potential, but whoever owns this place needs to step in and make some changes

2/16/26 – planned a day trip and booked online reservation today at 1, when we got there it was closed. The guy said they have a party of 30 later so they are closed. We literally got an email a hour prior saying they were excited for our reservation (clearly automatic messages). Beware of booking online and their hours, may want to try calling ahead.
9/21/24 – Lovely brunch place. Our server was amazing. Everyone loved their food. I got the grits bowl with salmon bites, I picked the honey garlic for my sauce. It was so good. Great flavor and a nice portion of food. I also got the sides cabbage and asparagus. The cabbage was really good with a nice spice to it. The asparagus was okay and you get 4 pieces which cost $6. We also got a mimosa tower, we were a party of 6 and each of us were able to get at least 2 drinks out of it. The music was little loud, but if you are looking for a vibe you won’t mind it. A DJ started playing in the middle of our brunch which was pretty cool. A great spot for a bachelorette party though and again food was delicious with amazing service!

This place is serves a hype atmosphere. I have been twice. If you need to pregame with food and drinks before you go to your evening destination, you can start here. Music will have you wanting to dance while eating. Only music complaint is that it is way too loud for such a small place. I have to yell at my friends for a conversation. Even communicating with the waitress was hard with the loud music. Left my ears ringing because the sound bounces off the walls especially when it’s not packed. Definitely get the lamb chops. They are sweet and savory. No boring grits here. They definitely had flavor and same goes for their well seasoned tots. Waffle flights are a hit or miss depending on the day or cook. They do make you pay before your food is served. Service was great until it was time to go. Took a long time to get the servers attention after their many conversations with the staff at the bar. When I finally asked for a to go box, she said ok but never got them and just stood at the bar talking. I helped myself to the boxes and bags at the host desk up front.

Went here with my best friend for brunch/lunch on a Wednesday. SO YUMMY.
Big vibes- they have loud music, a fun interior, a clean single restroom, a bar, and amazing food!
The salmon was AMAZING. Highly recommend the salmon and grits or salmon bites. They’re huge!
Kinda slow service, But our server, Sierra had an awesome personality and was so fun!
