Absolutely phenomenal! The chicken breading is so good and pairs perfectly with their waffles and variety of butters. The spiked coffees and sides were also delicious. Couldn't name a better brunch spot. Plus our server, Issac, was so friendly and hospitable!

I don’t give everyone 5 stars but I had to here. If you are lucky enough to catch a nice breeze, the smell from inside should pull you right on in. This place is beyond awesome with cleanliness, service and food speaks volumes. It was worth the 3 hour drive and I highly recommend them.

Food was supposed to be ready for pick up at 4:30. 2 tables occupied in the whole restaurant so they were not busy. They kept saying 5 more minutes. Food didn’t come out until 5:10. 35 minutes into my wait, they apologize and say the order didn’t go through. Well next time tell folks that upfront because we would not have waited around 40 plus minutes and missed our plans. No partial refund, not even a free drink offered for the additional wait. Terrible service.

The waffle was thick and soggy, like yesterday's batter. Oh, they opened late due to lack of chicken inventory. C'mon really, people had reservations and it was cold standing outside. Totally unprofessional. I wasn't impressed with this mess.

Rotten spoiled strawberry shmear sent with my waffle. I couldn’t even eat my food. I poured on my food and thought it looked odd. Then I could smell that it was rotten.

We went here for dinner on a Friday night just before 6. We ordered the waffle dishes with wings and legs (no cutlets), had greens, mac & cheese, and cheese grits as sides, and the strawberry and peach lemondaes. The waitress was nice and very familiar with the menu. The food came out quickly, but the trade off was that it was barely warm. Had she waited another 2 minutes, the food would have been cold. The wings were cooked well - good flavor and crispiness - the legs looked old though. The waffles had really good flavor (again, would have been MUCH BETTER were they HOT), barely needed the schmear or syrup. The cheese grits were BARELY ok, the greens were good - a little spicy - and they must have scraped the pan to give me the last of the mac and cheese. And again, we all agreed the food would have probably been REALLY GOOD had it been hot. Overall, I'll come back to give them another chance. But I'll know to ask them to make the wings and waffles fresh next time. Parking: If you want to park close (within 1 walking block), prepare to pay before 6. If you don't mind walking, you can find street parking north and west of the restaurant.

This was not a pleasant experience. Our waitress was very attentive, but the cooks and the manager were horrible. We ordered the Mac and cheese, and it was cold. The waitress told the cooks, and they had the nerve to say what you wanted us to do. Then they brought out another, and it was cold. Our waitress had to ask the manager what to do, and he had the nerve to say he didn't know. So our waitress had to warm it up in the microwave. With this bad experience, I will not patronize this restaurant again. Then, to top it off, the cooks had the nerve to leave the kitchen to see who complained and had the nerve to shake their heads. I seriously hope the management reads this and addresses it.
