| - What can I say that hasn't already been said? This place is solid on so many levels.
Southern food that can be made gluten free? Check.
Warm atmosphere? Check.
Great cocktail menu that isn't overpriced? Check.
You can go here and find something on the menu for everyone. Their food doesn't feel stuffy or heavy.
I have had one disappointing meal here and to be fair, I was forewarned...making the avocado toast gluten free left the heart a little to be desired. Assuming their portions of avocado doesn't change from regular bread to GF bread, it could have used a little, well, more.
They cut the toast into little slivers, and GF bread is always smaller. One modification would have been to cut the bread into a triangle and have left it. I actually sort of chuckled when it came and I was like, "wow the server is right, this looks pretty dismal."
Their side salad is one of the best I have had, it isn't pathetic--it's actually gorgeous. Mixed greens with carrots, a beautiful watermelon radish on top. Oh and their blueberry jam. *swoon* I absolutely love smathering this over toast alongside a mug of piping hot coffee.
If you go for brunch...the potatoes. oh my goodness the potatoes. are like this smashed, but still whole, concoction. I loved them. Great flavor, a few bits of crunchy bits mixed in...mmmm yum.
The wait is always incredibly long. And I will say, I won't wait more than probably 20-30 minutes. If you find yourself up early enough on a weekend to visit, make the trip, otherwise, expect upwards of an hour. And while it's really solid, I just don't know what is worth an hour wait.
Love that this place has stayed true to their roots and has expanded over southern cities!
