Once we were out of the car, you can smell the food. Great place to get down!!! The food was amazing and delicious. The atmosphere was great. Customer service was awesome!!! Our waitress remembered our order without entering it on the iPad nor writing it down. Hands down we loved it so much we got food to go.

I was visiting Florida and happened to spot this place and they did not disappoint. When we arrived in the morning, we thought this was a no-go but once we walked in we immediately knew this was a hidden gem💎 , and so will you. We dined in, the place was a little run down. But it shows they care about the community they are feeding and supporting. They played some gospel hits to start our morning. If it bothers you, then this is not the place. To me, it's perfectly fine. It's rare from where I come from to find a place that plays gospel music. I got the Shrimp & Grits to fill the soul and my partner got some regular Pancakes, eggs, and bacon. BIG, Fluffy Pancakes. Both were on point for a good price.

I went here on a Sunday for breakfast and let me tell you how great the service and atmosphere were. I did have to wait about 30-45 minutes but the food is cooked fresh to order so I didn’t mind.

We drove by this restaurant made a U-turn to check out another restaurant the smell that entered the car was so good, we decided to check this place out instead. Jerry welcomed us and sat us immediately. She was super friendly and welcoming. She gave us a minute to look over the menu while she grabbed me a water and my fiancé a fruit punch, man was the fruit punch tastey!! I decided on the biscuits and gravy and my fiancé got corned hash with over easy eggs, potatoes and toast. Everything was absolutely delicious! We found a hidden town gem! Excited to come back soon
