Let me start by saying: I *wanted* to like this place. Monroe needs great local food joints. And a breakfast place that has fantastic biscuits -- sign us up! The experience was extremely underwhelming however.
The floor appeared to have not been mopped between closing last night and opening this morning. Shoes audibly stuck to the floor when walking.
The water we requested was unfiltered. Locals will know that unfiltered tap water here has a rather unpleasant aftertaste.
Service was slow.
My husband ordered a side of scrambled eggs. They were served more runny than my grits. He asked for them to be cooked some more, which they did oblige us on. However, when they were served again, the waitress explained they had been runny because the chef was a "gourmet" chef. I agree that most folks overcook their scrambled eggs, but this was undercooked significantly. And we both felt as if we were being told as though our taste in eggs was wrong.
With that being said, there were some significant bright spots I should mention. We really enjoyed the pimento cheese grits. And while my husband and I didn't love our biscuits, they were decent and home made. The flavor profiles available were inventive and good. And the meat was prepared excellently.
All in all though, the positives did not outweigh the negatives and we will probably not return.
