Great food ,,friendly and courteous staff.
Good atmosphere, with mostly outdoor seating. The menu was great with a good selection and great breakfast items with unique items I’ve not seen anywhere else.
“Stella mood ” was good and we rocked a bit to 80s rock this particular morning and the Tuesday market was just getting started ,,cold start with the temps in 40s.
Will be back!! Thank you.
First, I want to say that your biscuits and gravy are absolutely the best by far. They are the main reason I continue coming back. I genuinely look forward to them, and no other place compares, which is why I remain a loyal customer.
That being said, I feel the restaurant consistently falls short in one important area: food temperature. On multiple occasions, I have had to send my food back because the gravy was not hot. On my most recent visit, my bacon was also served lukewarm. I chose to eat it as-is that time because it becomes tiring to repeatedly send food back when it should be right the first time.
Additionally, there have been instances where we had to send back cups because they had an oily residue from the dishwasher. I mention this only because I care about the overall experience and want to see the restaurant maintain the high standards I know it is capable of.
When I pay for my meal, I expect it to be served hot or at least at a reasonable temperature when it reaches my table. Everything else about this restaurant is wonderful, which makes this issue stand out even more.
I hope this feedback is received in the spirit it’s intended. I truly love this place and want to continue enjoying it for a long time.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
My best,

The inside seating was hotter than outside so we chose that option. I had ordered the fried green tomatoes and the pierogis along with water and coffee. Shortly after our drinks, the green tomatoes came out – although crunchy and hot, they were not very flavorful and had a drizzle of chipotle aioli; they were okay but wouldn’t recommend them although they were a ‘Stella Favorite”. Our food came out after about 15 minutes or so and both plates had issues.
My wife ordered an Irish omelette and I ordered the Deep South Burger. My wife’s omelette was incorrect and they gave her a ham and cheese. Her hasbrowns were undercooked and the English muffin was butterless. My food came out with cold fries. After about 5 minutes without a checkup, I had to physically take our plates inside to let them know of our issues. I had asked the waitress to cancel the pierogis but she said she never even ordered them – although I talked to her about them for a while.
They ended up remaking my wife’s plate and my fries. I had a very hard time believing they didn’t just refry my old fries as they were super crispy brown and not a fresh golden color (and it looked like a fry I but into originally was re-served) so I ended up not eating them after a few bites. My burger was a solid 2 out of 10. They advertise it as a smashburger but it is NOT a smashburger. It had a meatloaf like consistency and not a smashburger.
The waitress apologized and said they’d take 15% off – to which at that point didn’t care – I was just happy to pay and move on. She took a while and came back and told us they comped our meal and invited us back with 2 free meal tickets. It was a nice gesture and honestly they didn’t have to.
I topped the waitress $20 and we left.
All in all, it was a pretty bad meal and if they had just gave us a 15% discount, I’d have never gone back let alone recommended them. Given the poor execution, I’d have expected at least 1 plate comped.
We’ll give this place another try but don’t know when that will be.
