| - My mom said it best. "The prices were great! The food was just okay."
Since my whole family was in town visiting, I was trying to make sure we got a few local places under our belt, outside of the typical chains ( like IHOP, Waffle House, etc). Since I've driven past this place many times and it always looks pretty packed, I was eager to give this place a try.
Based on the reviews, I was ready to be beyond WOW'ed and I just wasn't. The hostess was very friendly and seated us very quickly. Our waitress was okay. She wasn't very enthusiastic or knowledgeable about the menu or great at making suggestions for first time diners. But she kept the coffee and water glasses full and got our order so I guess that makes up for it.
Everyone ordered something different, so we could share and before we knew we had pancakes, french toast, a meat omelet, bacon, hash browns and grits flying around the table.
My favorite by far was the french toast, it's made on challah bread and ready thick and filling with a touch of powder sugar...yum!
Everything else was just pretty standard. Not bad. Just standard. There was one small downside, I wasn't a fan of the grits...perhaps that's my fault because I was secretly comparing them to Flying Biscuit...oh well!
I mean I'm not writing this place off completely. I definitely want to try their lunch and dinner options. But for now, this place is just A-Ok.
On a personal note, there's a waitress there named Mary and even though she didn't wait on us she is super friendly and extremely professional. As we were leaving she chatted with us, and even complimented my grandmother on how good she looked for her age...she also made sure to thank us for coming in and told us to have a great day. When I go back, I'm definitely going to request to sit in her section! She's a real jewel to the restaurant!
