I do not get the attraction to this place. It's clearly popular, but my experience was poor. The biscuit was poorly made. It was very dry with almost no air holes. That means they did not properly use cold butter chunks that melted during the cooking process to create voids of space while infusing awesome buttery flavor expected in a biscut. The hollandaise sauce should not have been served. It was separated meaning whoever mixed the sauce did it wrong. The grits had no flavor. The midtown cocktail was served in a plastic diner cup with an odd mixture. If you want great biscuits, head over to Buttermilk Kitchen on Rosewell. They are fantastic compared to this place. I would not eat here even if I could be seated right away, which usually you can't.

Based on the number of people waiting we were expecting a little more I guess. I ordered the Big Cheesy Patty melt.. hmm let's start with Big.. only thing big was the bread and price. Advertising a half pound of meat or two 1/4lb patties. Mine had two flat pieces of meat.. more flat than a big mac meat. Grilled onions? I counted 8 diced little pieces.. 2 pickle chips... cheesy? A small drizzle that most was on the side of bread and a little on the plate. Now my son in law had chicken strips with gravy over them on a biscuit that looked pretty good. They didn't have any hot speciality drinks.. something was broke. Just be careful what you order I guess. I don't complain in places.. I just make other decisions in the future.

The French toast was beyond fluffy and yummy. The hash thing was too salty but I will managed to finish it. My favorite part was the chicken in that so I think next time I would try the pancake tacos or one of the benedicts.

It was a very busy morning but the waitress and person at the bar did everything very good The waffle and the biscuit the best of the meal Very reasonable prices. Recommended Very nice staff

I Always get the shrimp and grits! Be sure to get a biscuit/ chicken sausage. The staff is pretty to the point. But that doesn’t bother me. They are short staffed because of Covid. (Be kind) We had a 15 min wait. And then food came out in about 15-20min/

My family of 4 waited over an hour and half to even be seated inside the restaurant. When we got there the wait time was told 30 minutes to us. We watched as other groups of 2 came after us, was seated before us, ordered, and then got their food before we were even seated. We waited, and finally decided to help sped up the process and order our food online, and hopefully by the time our food would be ready we might be seated. After ordering, and paying for our food, we were finally seated (again over an hour and half after getting there). When we got seated, the manager told us we could not stay in the restaurant to wait on our food order. Since we ordered online, we will have to wait for our order outside. At this point in the morning, there was no one waiting to come in, and they had a few empty tables. So my husband and I took our two young children outside to wait for our food. We were told at that time they would have our food ready within 5 minuets. We ended up waiting another 35 minutes for our food. And then had to eat it in the car in the parking garage. And to top it off, we did not even get biscuits with our order!!!

Wasn’t impressed with my to-go order. The door was locked when I got there so I had to call to enter.The creamy shrimp and grits tasted great, but didn’t look good. Meh ? if I’m spending almost $20 on a grits plate, I just expect it to look decent.Not sure if I’ll drive 25 minutes here again.

This is my first time here and I liked my server named Karim! He was super sweet and very understanding about what I wanted on my food. It was a Sunday so it’s as busy as it gets and he was still super nice.I ordered the three amigo tacos and my boyfriend ordered the steak and egg and it was very good.It’s midtown so expect random homeless people walking around you.Also they are understaffed soo please be patient with them!Thank you for the help Karim!! ❤️

If you go here, SEE KEKE. She made the whole experience phenomenal from start to finish. She made sure we had an absolute perfect time and even ran mypurse out to me after I forgot it after having such a blast. The food was to die for but our server made it an unforgettable experience. Overall Dining service 10/10, overall service experience 100/10.

First time in Atlanta and looking to start the day with something typical and fun. Based on reviews from others we decided to go this morning and we were not disappointed one bit. Service was great and the food was amazing! Make sure you get there early as a line formed outside when we left and it was full soon.
