Menu is a very little different, but we can get in right away!! no waiting 1+ hour for a table in a cramped atmosphere! LOVE the veggie bowl, best pickled okra, goat cheese grits, greens, beans. Yum!! Both places have covered outdoor seating, downtown is more interesting, but I'd rather not wait.

The biscuits are legendary, Southern buttermilk, so you should definitely order some to share, as an appetizer. All the entrees are excellent. Most recently I loved the sweet/spicy chicken and waffles. My partner had biscuits plus the fried green tomatoes, and she remarked that they were not greasy for a fried dish. So this place clearly knows how to fry chicken and green tomatoes. Excellent. Very good coffee here. Good enough to drink your coffee black, if that's your thing. But they can do fancy coffee too. On previous trips we have tried the standard omelets, traditional breakfast platters, and more. All of it is great. Our biggest mistake has been ordering too much food. Portions tend to be a bit on the generous side, but not crazy big. So we now order a bit less. The biggest negative/challenge can be the crowds. This place is loved by many! When it gets busy the wait times can quickly extend to 30 minutes, 1 hour, or even longer. The best strategy is to go early. On a recent Sunday visit, we arrived during the 30-45 minutes of opening time, and we were seated immediately. But as we were leaving, we noticed a long line of people waiting. Go early and enjoy!

We came in on a Sunday and there wasn't a wait. The food was appealing to the eye and the descriptions were fabulous. The food looked amazing and most of our meal was pretty good. The chicken and waffles was the table winner. My only removal for the 5th star was the response when we asked for a different table. A flashing light above a person with migraines doesn't mix. I made a comment about me helping to fix it and the response wasn't that warm and fuzzy. Also, the food lacked a little flavor. I enjoy a lower salted meal but this one just lacked that kick. The hollandaise sauce was bland and the poached eggs were over cooked. Overall a pleasant enough experience was had by all.

Pretty standard southern fare, but with a slightly marked-up price. Overall it's decent, but I personally can't say I'm too big of a fan of Southern food.

It's all just too fried and oily for me.

We made reservations ahead of time online which was really nice. The service was good. The food was absolutely mouthwatering. The fried green tomatoes were some of the best I?ve ever had. The grits were top notch, I loved the use of goat cheese. Everything was warm and comforting. I will definitely be back.

Can?t go wrong with any of the fried chicken dishes and biscuits. The fall menu was out and the pork chop was delicious. Definitely had a little bit of kick to the sauce.

The staff at both locations are incredibly friendly and upbeat. The food is fantastic, featuring wonderful Southern dishes with a contemporary flair. The presentation of the plates is both simple and beautiful. Be sure to arrive early or make a reservation, as this place is quite popular and busy, but definitely worth the wait!

It is truly authentic local farm fresh food that you can taste in every bite! The biscuits are homemade from scratch, the jam is the best I have ever had! And I have made jam, so has my grandma! Y 'all, this is better than your grandmother 's food! Truly was shocked at how amazing the food is! I was not prepared! I was merely just having breakfast at a place we happened to walk by and I fell in love. Food love! Just like that! Even the water was good! I had the Old School Breakfast Bowl . Go get you one! The potato cracklins...mind blowing!!

Everything was delicious and made for a very satisfying meal. **Service - 3.5 Stars** The servers were friendly and welcoming, but the service was noticeably slow. It took about 40 minutes for our order to arrive, and the entire brunch experience lasted nearly 2 hours due to the delays. **Ambiance - 5 Stars** The restaurant has a lively atmosphere with a modern open kitchen design. The vibe is quite enjoyable throughout. **Bottom Line** This is a reliable spot for brunch with really good fried chicken. However, I probably wouldn’t make a special trip just for it.

It had just the right amount of heat for my taste (I'm not very good with spicy food), which was a delightful addition.
