My first time at the establishment was Tuesday. The service & food were phenomenal! (Food)- flavorful, fresh, & satisfying. The server was beyond friendly. He informative & knowledgeable, he even offered samples just to easy my mind about any choice I made. The price points for the portion size ,there’s nothing like it.

Visited tonight with several others. The feedback overall was that the food was good. My food was good, but the collard greens were a bit chewy for my taste. The Mac and cheese was decent in my opinion. We waited over an hour for our food to come out which was fustrating as our entire party were all starving. Due to having to wait so long for our food not sure if it would be worth visiting again. Overall I am very disappointed in my experience.

Food is okay. It’s Nothing spectacular but it’s not bad, it’s just okay. if you looking for a place to get some food after a night out I can see this being a go to spot but for me it’s a one and done.

Jimmy Sadler
Neat old school diner style. Great sausage and gravy biscuits and great sweet tea. A level above Denny’s sausage and gravy for sure. Bacon was cooked nicely. VERY nice staff. So polite and friendly. Fun, somewhat loud atmosphere. They seated quickly and food was prepped quickly, and it was fairly busy. Be aware it’s directly across from the Spectrum Center, so I bet it gets slammed during events. (Although there was a concert about an hour from starting, and it was great.)

For a place that is open 24 hours a day, it was very clean, staff was excellent and in good spirits…the food was excellent and very reasonable. We both said we’d give it a 10! Pretty rare for us to give that high of a mark, the place was packed with a 20 minute wait, but, well worth it.

Pros: A large breakfast menu with reasonable prices. The plates are a good size. The food is tasty and there are choices for turkey products instead of just pork.

There’s usually a queue, but the food is very good! We had the Meat Lovers Omelette with creamy grits and biscuit. Plus chicken tenders with fries. It was all great. Especially the chicken and biscuit. So worth the wait. Thanks.

Food is always on point but service and atmosphere certainly needs help. Unless you like ratchet on the inside and out. I will say it feels safe being in the new location. It has plenty of parking as well, 24 hours as well, cops on duty at night.

Solo diner, sat at the counter after going to the downtown farmers market on a Saturday morning. There was a wait for tables but not the counter. Server was quick and efficient. Coffee was hot and food was properly prepared. The wait staff seemed to enjoy working together with pleasant banter which is nice to see.
