This is a quality business with an ambitious menu that challenges guests to stretch the limits of their norms safely.
I wish them many years of success and service.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brett V.IL, IL19103Mar 20, 2024
Well by what we all see on the internet here I wouldn't come close to this place . An employee is not concerned about customer satisfaction and apparently could care less. Watch

The ambiance was cool. The staff were really nice. I got the fish and fried grits and the mimosa flight. The fish and grits were good. Not amazing but good. The mimosa flight was cute but again not anything to rave about. I'd probably just opt for a regular mimosa next time. Also, the prices don't match up with the taste/portions.
Fish and grits - 3.5/5
Mimosa flight - 3/5Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Nov 3, 2023
We went on a Saturday for a date day and I was super happy to experience some brunch vibes. We're newish to the area and usually brunch spots around here are quieter and more run-of-the-mill. This had the right music playing, high energy staff, and unique food options with great presentation PLUS it's BYOB!!
SERVICE
While I had already prepared to not be in a rush, the food actually came out in a timely manner and in the right order. (Cuz yall know soooome of these restaurants bring apps and entrees out at the same time .) We also had a newer waitress and she was assisted by someone else, so I'd say the service was pretty good!
DRINKS
Like I mentioned this place is BYOB (cue angelic music! I love a byob). They provide nicely presented mocktails plus you can get a mimosa tower that comes with a whole show lol. I recommend asking them to pour two bottles of champagne into the tower bc the mix is pretty sweet. The tower also comes with a flight of mixers and the entire thing can easily serve a crowd.
FOOD
This is an INDULGENT spot. Do not expect a salad. (But also can you add a few healthier things so I can come back more often?? Just asking.) Anyway, most things are fried, even things you wouldn't think of like deviled eggs, grits, sweet potato pie... (We had all three and approve haha but I do wish they'd offer non-fried versions as well.)
I saw someone say the waffle wasn't cooked all the way in a review... they make theirs more cakey so it's different than others--still good.
For the vegan chicken and waffles I believe they used an impossible cutlet. It's good and fried separately according to the waitress. I love that. Still, I am like 50% sure this is not a vegan meal. Ngl, ion think most blk ppl know what vegan fr is but they trying at least?? Because I'm pretty sure egg, milk, or butter was used so it is vegetarian, not vegan.
Overall we really loved our experience and would have lingered longer if we didn't have somewhere to be. I hope this business prospers! I hope you support while also giving grace. We'll be back with friends. Can't wait!Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - John D.Katy, TX02May 1, 2024
Terrible owner terrible service cheap food. Owner is very belittling for a business that was completely empty. Then they didn't want to give me silverware unless I paid extra.

I had the Shrimp and fried grits at this joint, which was a stretch for me, because they are frying my grits....I'm not used to that. The seasoned the shrimp well, and once forgetting that I was not getting my typical grits, I focused in on the flavor of the fried grits. In short, they cooked the grits, then fried them into patties of sort. When you bite into them, you recover the taste of those golden grits! :) They did a nice job with the dish. I also liked their service, and perhaps I'll be able to talk them into also adding shrimp and grits without the frying for options in the future. :) I would go back to check out more dishes.

I'll give them this. Excellent presentation. That's about it. Service is definitely subpar (never brought me ice I asked for, no utensils had to get them myself because no one was around, and gave me the wrong check), and they automatically charge gratuity, which is stated on menu. Had chicken and waffles, waffles were decent, chicken tender was mediocre at best. They offer this pink sparkle syrup which in my opinion isn't great. To each their own I'd rather have a decent maple syrup. Nice that it's byob. They had a dj on a Sunday, blaring music. Would have enjoyed it in my early 20's but I'm 36 now and easily overstimulated lol overall just not worth it to me.

This is a clean establishment but lacks professionalism. Both my server and the owner were rude when I questioned the portion size of their plates. Sides should never be so skimpy especially when it's something as cheap as grits. Some items are good, others are bland. Won't be back.

The service , staff and environment was all too friendly ‼ Food was delicious I'm upset that it took me so long to get there! It's a must I go back and try other things on the menu. Those shrimp and grits were cooked to perfection. AND the fried sweet potato pie let's just say it hit every tastebud in my tongue
