| - We stopped here for brunch on a Saturday when we went to Cleveland for the weekend to see a cavs game. It's in the brewery district (I think) and next to a farmers market (I forget the name) so trying to find parking in the area was almost impossible. We got lucky and found a spot fairly quickly, whereas our friends didn't have such luck...
My fiancé and I arrived inside first, and were seated promptly as I had made a reservation (although there wouldn't have been much of a wait I don't think). The restaurant was fairly full, but there wasn't anyone waiting for a table. We ordered some fun brunch drinks while we waited for our friends to park. If you're a fan of Bloody Mary - must order the "stuck pig" with the beef jerky straw. My fiancé loved it. I got the mimosa with grapefruit juice and enjoyed it.
Unfortunately I was not hungry at all, so I didn't exactly order a brunch dish and opted for a couple of sides to share. Went with deviled eggs and the hush puppies. The deviled eggs were good, had bacon in them if I remember correctly. And anything with bacon is just automatically delicious lol. I did not like the hush puppies at all. They were supposed to be jalapeño ones but they had no flavor. Even dipping them in the creamy sauce didn't make them delicious. Definitely a nay on that one. There were complimentary biscuits and some fancy flavored butter and jam, which was nice.
My fiancé ordered the biscuits and gravy with extra gravy. He liked it but was not impressed by any means. His favorite ones are from his cousins house down in Alabama, so he knows his biscuits and gravy! My friend ordered the shrimp and grits and liked it, but also didn't think it was anything special. Her husband ordered the s'uthern Benedict which he also enjoyed, but then again - nothing to rave about. Perhaps we've just all been too spoiled by all the good food that's here in Buffalo that not much really "impresses" us anymore? Idk.
All in all, average food, good service, and yummy drinks. Perhaps a little overpriced but considering the location and the crowd that it caters to, I suppose that's just the norm nowadays.
