five star review by Taylor C:

Very good! I loved the mix-matched tables and chairs, cloth napkins, and kitschy mugs. The food was great and I loved the variety of vegetarian options. I had the pimento cheese grits and my husband had the eggs Benedict. My only regret was not getting the ginger-lemon tea. It had fresh chunks of ginger and lemons. Everything was super fresh and staff was attentive.
