    We had the place to ourselves on a Sunday morning at 8 am. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious to the eyes and taste buds. By 9:30 the kitchen was busy preparing take-out orders and a few more people were beginning to arrive. We look forward to returning again before the end of our vacation.

    We had lunch @ 1 pm on a Monday - so it was on the quieter side. We ordered the Fried Chicken Biscuit and the Chicken & Feta sandwich. The food and the drinks were so delicious we forgot to take photos to share. We really appreciated the very friendly greeting and super helpful service with wonderful recommendations. The cheerful staff made us feel welcome - would definitely dine here again! Nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating.

    We were very excited when we got there. The service and ambiance were great but the unforch the food was so salty. I kind of choked it down because I was hungry. A but of a bummer. I would try them again and also for limited salt.

    We were excited to come here as it was high on the list of recs from friends. Our server couldn’t care less about us. She never came to check on us and dismissed all of our questions like we were inconveniencing her. The food wasn’t that great. Biscuits crumbled but the butter and jam were great. 10/10 would not recommend.
