| - To get 5 stars from me is hard. For 5 stars you need to meet: great atmosphere, great staff, great music, great food, cleanliness, and the place must "flow."
I'm in between a 3.5-4 stars.
When we first walked in, there was no one at what looked like a hostess table. It was unclear what to do, so I took it upon myself to write my name on the wait list.
There is no technical waiting area. There is a bar of sorts facing outside, which is where everyone waiting sat. But this took up seats where anyone who came in and wanted to sit here, wouldn't be able to.
It is a super cute place, very homey, and very inviting, but there wasn't any music and the tables were pretty close to each other, so any conversations you have will not be private.
The food portions are smaller than most places, so if you're a big eater, eat before coming or order two plates. The prices are higher, but matches the quality of the food.
One dislike, however, was that the special of the day was shrimp and grits. Being that I'm a huge lover of grits, I asked if I could order a side of the grits. I was quickly told "no" by our waitress. This was a turnoff. I would have preferred being told, "I'm not sure, let me ask," instead of an immediate "no." I'm actually surprised she didn't bring me a small sample.
I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was moist and crispy. The waffle was good, but on the smaller size. The shaved jalapeƱos were a nice twist. I also ordered a side bacon and the bacon was bomb! Side note: if you like your bacon crispy, be sure to ask for it that way - it comes out soft.
