| - A chain restaurant trying to be a crunchy, neighborhood, natural diner. That's really what it is... It's not horrible, but it isn't great. For those of you living in Ballantyne, you know that there is a horrible lack of breakfast places, so we do with what we have.
First, the biscuits are not good, nor do they fly. They aren't really like biscuits at all, actually. I have tried the shrimp and grits, scrambles, straight egg breakfasts, and black bean cakes. The grits are creamy and heavy, not bad if you don't mind the richness. The black bean cakes were pretty good, everything else was just okay. I usually don't let surroundings get to me, but I kinda have with this place. I find myself eating here often because of my veggie Mom and friends that enjoy it.. I never seem to like it for some reason...
You know what it is? It's that this restaurant is a corporate version of something that I really like... the neighborhood hippie diner. There are a lot of businesses that do this really well and I guess I was expecting that.
