The food was top tier as always. Our server Holly was very customer focused and made sure we thoroughly enjoyed our meals.
Check them out if you’re in the area.
Oh, the are also top tier, thank me later!! Lol…
Molly was just the absolute sweetest! So kind from the get go and very attentive. What an effervescent personality. Will definitely be coming back for the food (and her!)
The atmosphere was good. It was a little loud and cramped but they had a few cute details like the colourful menu boards and menus that look like newspapers.
We were served impeccably by our server, Sarah. She was attentive and responsive to our needs. She remained calm and present when we encountered some hiccups during our dining experience.
The blueberry lemon cornbread was really tasty. I just found myself wishing for a bit more lemon. A little lemon zest in the batter, lemon-infused butter or compote on the side could’ve really taken it to the next level. Still, the overall flavor was solid. I left inspired to develop a recipe of my own.
The million-dollar bacon had great flavor too, but it really needed to be crispier to live up to its name.
Unfortunately, things took a turn when our entrées arrived. My grits looked more like corn mash than actual grits. There’s a big difference, grits should be smooth and creamy, but this was thick, dry, flavourless and hard to eat. The shrimp and sausage were well-seasoned and nicely cooked, but the texture of the grits really ruined the dish for me. I sent it back, hoping for better, and while the second version was slightly improved, it came back oily and even more bland. The shrimp and sausage were still fine, but now they were topped with burned onions. I honestly don’t know how that made it past the kitchen. I couldn’t help but wonder who’s checking the plates before they go out. Why was there such inconsistency?!
My friend had the Works omelette, and it started off well, but was also full of burned onions.
At that point, we were just disappointed. Our server, Sarah, was kind and did her best, she let the manager know, and my friend received a gift card since most of her meal was left untouched. But when the bill came, we were still charged for it, which didn’t sit right. They eventually took it off, but it was frustrating that the manager never came by the table, and that there didn’t seem to be a standard practice for handling clearly flawed dishes.
We weren’t expecting perfection, just a thoughtful meal and attention to detail. Sadly, that wasn’t our experience, and we’re not likely to return.
