Well, we got the chicken basket with kale and hand cut fries for sides and my husband got the baked beans as his side. Everything was DELICIOUS. I only wish they made desserts too. We loved our experience, and grateful they were able to open back up after Helene.
Like many places, this restaurant's operations were limited when I stopped in, due to hurricane-related infrastructure damage. They were offering only takeout, though an outdoor patio on site seemed available. The menu was quite limited, but I was tempted by a tempeh melt. The leading tempeh company in the region was unmistakeable, and the sandwich was hard as I had hoped. A salad was less impressive, with the apples seemingly having been out too long despite the fact that I was there early in the day, and the cheese the menu promised being absent. Realistically, not a four-star experience under normal conditions, but given that everyone is picking themselves up at this point, I assume they have more to offer and I'm glad they're open at all.
Food was so freaking good. I don't know where they got the pickled onions from but omg best I've ever had. Cheesy Grits were perfect. Pancakes were fluffy. Blueberry French toast was a dream. Sunshine bowl was aces. Staff was so friendly. Yes yes yes.
Loved the ambiance of this local spot. Good service and prices with humble presentation and plating. Biscuit was fresh, gravy was tasty and breading was nice and crunchy.
The staff here are incredibly welcoming, making for a pleasant dining experience. Prices are reasonable, and most of the food was enjoyable. However, the fish tacos were a bit too salty for my taste. Despite this, the ambiance adds to the overall experience.
This is a very unassuming, casual place. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I had the Blue Plate Special (a chicken sammy with fries) and a Diet Coke. My wife ordered the pot pie with a locally produced Devil's Foot ginger beer. Our meals were both delicious and the portions were very ample. The service was good and all of the staff was friendly and helpful.
Yes, yes a thousand times yes! This is one of those meals that I will be dreaming about for years. I stopped here on vacation. It's a fairly small place with indoor and outdoor seating. It has a very casual vibe. You order at the counter, they give you a number and they either bring it to your table or hand it off for takeout. Please note they didn't have A/C going on the 88 degree day I visited and that's only reason I ordered takeout. Service was great from the counter staff to the server to the kitchen who made my food super fast! I was really curious about the blackened okra since most places cover the flavor with fried batter. They were absolutely delectable and I could have eaten a double order. The buttermilk fried chicken breast was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. While it does come with mushroom gravy, it didn't need it. I wish I had a slice of bread to mop up all the gravy. I also had the cheesy grits. They were better than average but I rarely eat grits. I finished it off with an iced tea and the whole meal was under $20. Highly recommended!
