I found this restaurant while on a trip by searching for a place that serves gluten free. It is a order at the counter restaurant.I got the build a “biscuit”. I subbed a gluten free bun and fried chicken tenders. The chicken was so crispy and juicy. The flavor was flavorful with peppery brown ones The bun was toasted and buttered.I ordered fries. They do not come with your sandwich, fries were fresh cut, not enough fries for cost, in my opinion, but delicious.I also ordered a gluten free brownie.This was the most reasonably priced. It was moist and deliciousI think it was slightly overpriced overall.They made me pay $.50 per condiment request I asked for mayonnaise and honey mustard and it cost me $1.07 extra. But I wasn’t at home so I paid the extra. I definitely do not think it was worth $.50 each and I didn’t even want ketchup. But I would go back the food was great and I love to support a place that’s local and does gluten-free.The bathroom was cleanCashier friendlyNumerous booths, tables and bar seating, as well as outside seating.Plenty of parking in a good sized plaza.

Delicious. Order at counter and pay. Food delivered to your table. Served quickly, hot and as ordered. Good tea and coffees. Breakfast tacos perfect. Just a bit expensive or it would be 5 stars.

Great place to grab some coffee and a dessert. The Lemon Bliss Cake was amazing especially paired with the Tropical Latte that included raspberry, vanilla, white chocolate, and coconut milk.

This place has pleasant atmosphere and helpful staff but I come to a place to eat food. Unfortunately, the chicken and waffles was not very good. The chicken was nicely breaded and looks appealing but lacked flavor and juiciness. You will need some sauce to get the chicken to go down.The waffles was actually worse. My waffle was cooked too well done and although the hint of flavor in waffle was there it was like eating flavorless toasted bread. The syrup helped but not enough.Do not get chicken and waffles or make sure they cook your waffle properly!

We ate here with my daughter and her mother in law and the food was good, though there was quite a wait for it plus the front staff made me feel like they were stressed and that caused me to feel stress. But the food was good, we had the biscuits and gravy and bacon and eggs. No complaints food wise.

Fun menu with lots of gluten free options. Fresh made lemonade, too!I had the Royale With Cheese, and my wife, who is gluten free had a great Traitor Joe's Burger.

The food was awesome. Honestly that's the only redeeming factor here.No cashier at the front when we arrived, and same thing happened for 2 other customers while we were there.Gluten free isn't a problem, but not well advertised online.Pricey for the quantity of food, although that's to be expected at a gluten free place. $2 extra for fancy syrup for the waffle? No thanks. Normal maple syrup was fine, although I did have to ask for more.Despite walking past us a few times, not a single employee asked us how the food was or if we needed anything. I had to go to the counter twice (once for more syrup, and another for a to-go container for my wife's chicken pot pie which they didn't have lids for)Last but not least, the dishwasher or kitchen helper (not the main chef/cook) was walking around smacking gum. Not just a pet peeve but a food safety violation.All in all? 3/5. Would we go back? Maybe, but there's a lot of options on Amelia island for those of us who aren't GF by necessity.

Get the orange juice!It's pricey and totally worth it. When you go be sure to get the orange juice as it is pressed to order. They have great sauces, syrups & honey to go on your delicious waffles accompanied by lightly breaded chicken. They brew their teas, too. Everything about this place is top notch.

Need a perfect comfort food breakfast? This is the place, and the Fried Chicken & Cheddar Waffle is the answer. Don't scrimp on the fresh OJ and the bourbon pecan syrup. Would like to subtract a star for rising prices and the new counter service, but then I couldn't explain why we keep coming back.

I tried the protein scramble, it was superb! Husband got biscuits and gravy, and it was simply the best! The food was fresh and hot. Our first time here, and will return.
