Found this killer breakfast spot here on Google while visiting. The whole entire experience was awesome! My wife and I were beyond pleased with the food. This place was the best of our restaurant stops on this trip. I couldn't recommend it more!

Hadn’t been here in a while and I want to punch myself. This place is amazing. Their breakfast potatoes were amazing and their breakfast sandwich was so good I ordered a second to take home. Very unique building and the wait staff is always pleasant.

Everything about this place is fantastic. A breakfast side option is a Korean hanger steak? Yes please. Their heirloom Anson grits are worth the price of admission alone. Warning: arrive before 10 on weekends or be ready for a wait.

If your looking for breakfast with a different twist, this is the place to be. Food and service was great. Can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

Everything is delicious, especially the scrambled eggs with spinach and bacon, the sausage, the grits, and biscuits & gravy. Friendly service too

I had the custard French toast over a month ago and I am still thinking about it on a regular basis!! There is a cautioned wait for this item because it takes about 20 minutes to prepare. Completely worth it! Go have a breakfast changing experience!
