Great vibes. Fun place to hang out with friends. Family friendly. Pretty busy on the weekend and you may have to wait for the seats. We enjoyed Mimosa and the burgers we got.

Amazing place. Always come here for their breakfast sandwiches and have never left hungry. Really cool atmosphere, they use amazing seasonings, and their compostable/recyclable materials are a huge plus.

Great little place to stop by for breakfast. Cozy and eclectic with tons of options. I got the breakfast tacos and a cold brew. The food had tons of flavor. The only thing it needed was another tortilla because they fill these things up. I'll have to check it out for lunch sometime.

Very quaint and cozy. Excellent food. Flavor pairings are on point with their menu items. The biscuits are huge and baked just right. We loved our meal and experience for an after church lunch. Everyone must try the homemade HOT saucers...but be careful.

This place is a gem. I hadn't been in years and when some friends introduced me to the new owner, I made it a point to stop in on a Sunday noon. I had their signature burger and was very satisfied. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Rarely do I not add salt & pepper, but I really didn't want to change anything. The salty country ham really balanced everything out. Will be coming back for more.

The lunch sandwiches are amazing! Had the duck and the halloumi along with watermelon/feta/mint salad on the side. Top notch!

The food here is amazing! Highly recommend checking it out. Everyone enjoyed their lunch! There are a couple of small tables, some seats at the bar & one large community table - lots of people picked up their food while we were there. Their pickled condiment bar was a huge bonus!
