I had almost written this place due to lack of clean food options. The food tastes pretty good yes, the service is pretty friendly yes, and it's easy because it's the biggest most often open restaurant in Davidson.
But the Heinz ketchup bottle on the table the Cisco whipped butter packets in the plastic containers, corn syrup filled jelly ... Big red flags if one cares about m in the importance of good nutrition which as all evidence now points to equals clean ethically sourced, sustainable, organic, non-GMO foods.
I stopped by this morning because my favorite clean restaurant is closed on Tuesday mornings, and was hungry! I was pleasantly surprised to learn the grits are kosher which is most likely nongmo ( although when they arrived whatever they had added to them was waxy and is clearly not a healthy addition) and they're trying to source their foods in more conscientious way. The quality of the meat could not be attested to so I went with vegetarian option - the avocado Benedict although not organic or free range to the best of the original servers knowledge, was excellent as was the gluten-free multi grain toast. Pico de gallo on top taste quite fresh and homemade. I had the pleasure of me being advised on clean food choices at Toast by Helen who was well-informed professional and sweet.
Slightly perplexed why the original server did not know what the food quality of the basic things on the menu was. Is it due to lack of interest in Davidson/the customers coming in don't ask, or lack of management educating the servers ?
This is a hot topic in this small town as evidenced by the wild and immediate success of the two clean food restaurants in the town, and the more customers ask the better things will get- hopefully soon we will be able to trust the food we are being served without probing inquiry :-)
