| - I am writing this review solely on atmosphere and friendliness of staff as I unfortunately didn't get to try the food because I got pulled away for an emergency work call. Maybe the food is absolutely amazing and something to write home about, but I will not be returning to this establishment. Here's why:
The staff. Lifeless, no personality, and unattentive. For being a place with a southern menu, there was absolutely no southern charm, or any charm for that matter. The host didn't say two words to me when I walked in and instead blank stared at me until I spoke. I sat myself at the at the bar, and watched the bartender look right at me in the eyes and walk in the other direction to pour coffee. Great, pour coffee but at least say hello for petes sake! The manager came out and gave me a menu. "Can I get you something"
That is my biggest pet peeve greeting when sitting at the bar, obviously you CAN get me something that's why I'm here, but I just sat down, and haven't even opened the menu yet. Tip for the manager and staff: Have some personality, say "hey welcome! What brings you in? Here's our drink menu And this is the food menu here. Give a minute to look it over".
Anyways, I looked it over decided on a glass of wine. Food menu was a book which included all menus in one. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kind of strange but whatever. I wanted to order the eggs Benedict as I was here during brunch time, but as mentioned above, my time was cut short with a work call, I instead had a glass of wine, and headed out.
The atmosphere: zero atmosphere. Was strangely quiet with a boom box playing classic rock quietly in the corner. The place was bright and open and had no charm or character. I was disappointed, maybe a more southern style feel, louder music and I'd switch from the ac/dc Classic rock to maybe country or jazz or blues or anything more southern feeling to go with the supposedly apparent theme of the place.
Overall thoughts: maybe the food is so incredible but the atmosphere and staff just didn't live up to the hype or expectations I had and I won't be returning to try the menu.
Not recommended. Two stars for the adorable name.
