| - Had very high expectations for this place. Overall, it just was mediocre. The service was plenty friendly and the people were polite. Overall, it is as follows for my breakfast experience:
The good:
- The prices were reasonable for the amount of food. 4 large wingsm a biscuit, a juice, some potatoes and grits were like $14.
- The potatoes were tasty, with onions and green peppers in them.
- The grits were creamy and smooth. They have a variety of things you can mix into them.
The bad:
- The food came out around 5 million degrees Celsius. I want fresh and hot food, but daaaaamn, after 10 minutes sitting on my plate, a piece of fried chicken hit me in the face after I broke the wing, and it scalded me. The food was HOT coming out. Too hot for me. I want to be able to eat within a few minutes.
- The potatoes were mushy. The breakfast potatoes, while tasty, were way overcooked. They were pretty much mush.
- The biscuit was the size of a silver dollar, and was hard as a rock. Took 2 bites, but it was like hard drywall. I am sure I just got a stale one, but still.
- Minute maid or some other kind of concentrated orange juice. I get not everyone is going to make fresh OJ, AND the juice here is very reasonably priced, since it is concentrate. I mean, I think a big OJ is like $1.50 or something, which is fair for what it is. I just would like some real juice.
-Plastic silverware, paper plates and Styrofoam containers, even if you are eating in. I don't know, but for me, eating out of plastic and Styrofoam affects the taste of the food, just like drinking Coke out of a glass bottle improves it.
-The fried chicken was pretty "meh" for me. It was not bad by any stretch, and I certainly would not have any issues eating it, but I would not seek it out and I was not blown away by it. I was expecting some incredible bird after the reviews I read, but no so much.
Overall, it was a big let down for me, but was not horrific. I would consider trying it again for lunch for a shrimp po' boy or something to see if it was good, but breakfast is pretty much done for me. On an unrelated note, an eclectic mix of customers, from people in shirts and ties to people sporting various neck tattoos.
