The Sweet Potato Waffle with Hottie syrup, chicken and cheese grits was amazing! This was my first stop coming from the airport.... Highly recommend! Read more
Will definitely return. Best advice go early as they tend to run out of the dishes if you have a later appt. But good to know... everything is fresh. Has the catfish and grits. Really tasty. Read more
The atmosphere was quaint and comfortable. The staff delightful. I had the crab cakes, crabby benny; very very good. Drizzled... with hollandaise sauce. Disappointed to discover they had run out of aioli sauce. The Lamb chops needed a bit more flavor andsalt. They were out of grits, so they substituted with hashbrowns. Some had cheese some didn't. Both were very good. It was anice experience though nothing wowed me. I could barely remember the meal.??????????? Read more
We made 11/7/20 10 a.m. reservations prior and took a drive on a mild, sunny Saturday morning here. I live 22 miles away from... this restaurant so I was hoping my experience would be worth going the distance. We get there and see this quaint and brightestablishment. I walk in and was immediately greeted by Chef and Owner Lizzie J! She was so pleasant. She actually was the onethat seated us outside (due to Covid restrictions, no indoor seating allowed, only outdoor) which that impressed me RIGHT THERE!I've never been to a business where the actual owner seated me. I felt special :) We started out with hot tea which is createdby her. Decided to try the Hibiscus Sangria flavor. It was really good! There are many hot/cold teas, lemonades that she offersand makes herself. We had ordered our food and was looking forward to our meal. Once again, Lizzy J came out proudly with ourfood. We tried the Shrimp and Grits, Freddy Jr. (chicken atop a sweet potato waffle) and fried Catfish fillet and Grits.Presentation was beautifully done. I tasted the shrimp & grits and I wanted to just immediately start crying due to havingultimate joy swirling around in my mouth! That was the BEST shrimp and grits I have ever had in my life, do you hear me? Theshrimp in it were HUGE!! Grits were tasty also. Lizzy convinced me to get andouille sausage as an additional meat instead of thechicken sausage which I appreciated because the flavor was out of this world! My buddy enjoyed her catfish and grits as well.Lizzie J is very good about asking how the food tastes and if it needs anything more to your liking. The business just recentlymade 1 year old. I noticed that Lizzy J took the time to talk to every customer that was dining there. Now, that's goodbusiness. I also got to meet her husband and he was pleasant as well. Just good people. I didn't want to leave. It was so niceoutside and the area is quiet despite the street being a very busy one. Lizzy J also does catering and I defi Read more

I’ve been here twice and absolutely love this cozy place. The crab/lobster Benedict is OUTSTANDING. I had the shrimp and grits... just this morning. A bit salty for my particular taste, but still good. Both times I’ve gone before noon - not at all crowded.The host/waiter is the sweetest, kindest gentleman - very attentive and kind. Coffee is SUPERB, the BEST way to start a morning.I love and am committed to supporting this Black owned business. Read more
