This place used to be amazing. They must have changed owners since the last time we went. Ordered take out and ask for egg whites which I was charged for but not given. Asked for the specialty pancakes, which I was charged for but given plain pancakes. Barely any green peppers or onions on my skillet. Loved coming here when we were in the area. Sad to see it go down hill.

Been going here for 5 years but now they are skimping on food portions. Plate is still big but ingredients are sparse especially with the corned beef hash. It was 95% everything else but only a sprinkle of corned beef. Spoke with a manager but he just kept repeating they measure it. I'm like... "Are they measuring it without any corned beef?" Manager did nothing about it. Not coming back for any of their corned beef or at all until further notice.

Wow what a great place. Came for breakfast and really enjoyed it. Plenty of options. It was hard for me to choose. Ended up going with the chicken fried steak skillet and cinnamon pancakes. The skillet was massive. Definitely able to share with a friend. Leftovers for days. Delicious homemade biscuits and gravy. I really love cinnamon pancakes but these could’ve used more cinnamon swirl but still delicious. Also got a plain latte and that was very tasty too. Staff were friendly and attentive. The food came out super quick. I was so surprised. Cant wait to come back and try something new.

Keona was such a joy to have as a server. Not only was she very intentive Pantsto our needs as customers and was swift with our demands. She was also quite friendly and wasn’t shy to banter back with us when we were making jokes about how large my meal choice was. Hopefully we get her as our server again. Besides her amazing care towards use that heightened our experience at the southern cafe, the FOODDD was *chefs kiss* and the food came fast which was unexpected but also pleasant.

Great food. Had the adoule sausage with jalapenos, biscuit, cheese, gravy, and eggs. Huge portions. Family went one day, loved it so much, and came back two days later. Coffee is not so great. Highly recommended, will go back. Couldn't it eat all there was so much. The server was a champion, so nice, running all over the restaurant, helping all the other servers, and taking care of her own table. She needs a raise!

This breakfast place is so amazing. I can’t even find the words to describe how delicious the food and coffee was. They really nailed down the southern chicken style and it was absolutely amazing. I am so happy I found this place. Our server was super nice lady and on top of her game. I enjoyed everything about this place. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Plant of parking since it is part of a development. Got seated right away and the restaurant was super clean and fairly busy. We did get our coffee after our food but we did have water and everything came really fast. Just an excellent experience!

Today my wife, friend and I had breakfast here. The atmosphere was amazing with so many friendly people. For starters our waitress was very friendly, polite with high energy. MARIA.I helped me with my order. She recommend the Nasty skillet and it was a 10 out of 10. It's so nice to see young people who enjoy their job and she's one of them. Maria often asked if there's anything we need? Oh and running into both of my sons high school coach's brought back great memories. Yes it was packed but I say if a place is packed that truly means something good is going on. The food, service and hospitality from Maria was excellent. I give the food and Maria 5 stars.
