    Great place for a solid breakfast.  Service is always prompt, and the food is comforting.

    Good, old fashioned, all-American breakfast menu with a good variety of selections. Omelettes are made so the egg is very thin and smooth, and stuffed full. The Philly-cheesesteak omelette is loaded with meat and sautéed onions and a great flavor. Shredded hash browns are cooked with a nice crunch (a la Waffle House). Biscuits are good, soft, and buttery, but flat (big, but flat - not thick and fluffy- but still good flavor).   Breakfast rice is a good mix of sausage, veggies, and rice - essentially jambalaya.

    A bit overpriced, but the food is good

    My girls like to go here for breakfast but they forget that every time we have been there it takes at least 45 minutes to an hour to get our food, even when it's not that busy. We are always starving by the time we get served. Today we walked in at same time as a father with his son and were seated. The waitress came and got our drink orders and brought the drinks and then we sat and waited. Finally after we had been there for 45 minutes I told the waitress we were ready to order. She said she thought we were with a man and a boy and thought they were in the bathroom, and apologized for not taking our order yet. I pointed out that the man and his son were at another table (already eating). While waiting for our food my daughter knocked over her hot chocolate, it went all over the table, my lap and shoes, and the floor. My oldest daughter and I grabbed paper towels and started trying to clean up the mess. Waitresses passed by and we were right by the front but everyone seemed oblivious or were perfectly fine with letting us clean up the mess. I had to ask our waitress for a wet towel to clean the stickiness off of my arms and shoes and she said, oh, I didn't know she got it on you, I thought it was just the table. Ok, so she did notice. After about 10 more minutes she said she would check on our food. I heard her asking someone else for help and overheard her saying she put the order in but we still didn't have our food. At this point I was ready to walk out but my kids were hungry and didn't want to go somewhere else and wait. The waitress came back and told us the printer ran out of paper so they didn't get our order but were working on it to quickly get it out. I told her we were considering leaving because we had been waiting so long and been seeing people get served and leaving that came in after us. She did offer to bring the girls some fruit or oatmeal while we waited and said she would tell her manager what happened and maybe he could do something for us. We decided to wait. The food came, it was good but I don't know if it was worth over an hour wait. I got up and grabbed a knife and fork for my daughter because she didn't have one rather than wait on the waitress to come back. We got the bill and the waitress said the manager never came back so she couldn't do anything about the bill. I told my kids I hope they enjoyed it because that will be the last time we go there.

    Worked here for a while a couple years ago, and it wasn't that great of an experience. Went back to eat just to see if there were any improvements, and sad to say, there were none. The boss still is absolutely cruel and disrespectful to his employees and the employees look miserable being there as usual. The food is subpar, the music is too loud, and the atmosphere is messy and cramped. It's crazy how this place is still open. I give one star not only because I have to, but because the shrimp and grits are really good.

    I'm in the middle of Whole30 right now so there aren't many breakfast options for me. Found this place by chance and it was SO good! I just had scrambled eggs and a fruit bowl (fruit bowl was gigantic), but my husband had the shrimp and grits. Their coffee is fantastic and smooth. Can't wait to come back and try more things - especially the all you can eat chicken tenders on Tuesday. Highly recommend.
