The food and atmosphere were both excellent!

Saw this place on TV and had to try, the food was awesome, extreme biscuits and gravy and a cinnamon roll pancake (sooooo good), for dessert, get there early with only outside seating at this time it gets busy.

One of the greatest places to have a brunch! Everything was delicious and the guys there are very nice people! If you're going to Carmel by the Sea, you MUST stop there.

BEST BISCUITS AND GRAVY EVER!!! What else can I say? After an underwhelming breakfast the day before at First Awakenings in Monterey, we searched for a place that would serve breakfast but have a unique twist to it. The biscuit and gravy was made of freshly made cheese biscuits (I think they were toasted with butter 😋) with a delicious sausage patty in it and covered with a delicious and unique tasting gravy that made the first bite amazing. I enjoyed it until my last bite! Wife enjoyed her eggs Florentine and side of pancakes and biscuit.

Ordered the dish Guy ordered when he came on his show. Came with biscuits and gravy, brisket Chili, and fried grits. All which was very tasty especially the chili. Do recommend trying the fried grits. Gravy sauce has lots of herbs. Also ordered the blueberry pancake, which was not very fluffy and I should have done without because it was not worth it. The server, Bubbles, was very nice and welcoming although they were busy and I was checked on once after the food came. One of the food Runners noticed I had an empty Glass and offered me another mimosa which I give him props for. Mimosas are good and one of the better OJ and sparkling wine combinations.

You are not able to see the restaurant from the street it is only on the inside of the Barnyard Shopping Center and was hard to find. I parked in front of the In-Shape and walked. I had to wait 25 minutes and they text you which was nice but it was a little busy for my taste. My fault for going on a Sunday morning around 12pm.
Would definitely go back. But definitely not for the pancakes or for "Speedy" service.
Overall a good place for brunch and breakfast with the fam or by yourself.

Perfect brunch spot!! Absolutely worth a visit.

Hard to find! Just park and walk in towards the center of the courtyard then walk down the stairs. You'll need glad you made the effort.
Not until we got our menus did we realize this spot was on DDD. I see e why.
My eggs Benedict were great. My kids had the cinnamon roll pancakes and corned beef hash. Pancakes were great and there were big chunks of corned beef in the hash.
Service was great! Take the time to find it you'll be glad you did.

Omg! This place was to die for. The breakfast was the best one we had on our trip to the area. I had a make your own omelette with a side of fried grits and a cheese biscuit all of 13.95. Way too much food, but everything was delicious. The bacon as nice and crispy.

I loved my whole meal! From the fried grits to the cheese biscuit 🤤 . We traveled pretty far but im glad they still were able to take us and the service was really fast as well. Cant wait for the next time we come.

Breakfast is served all day. I liked the variety of food that was being offered on their menu. I ordered a Chicken Ceasar Wrap and it was delicious. Friendly staff. Food took awhile come. Outside patio sitting.
