We went on a Wednesday which is 5 Lamb Chop & Lemon Drops night. The food was really good. I also tried the Honey Jerk & Mac egg rolls. They were DELISH. This was my 2nd time here. I really enjoyed the vibe, staff, food and drinks. Unfortunately, I ate the lamb chops before taking a picture.

Went here for Mother’s Day and loved it. We had the salmon bites with the honey Cajun drizzle, chicken Mac and cheese waffle and a few of their mimosas. We loved the food! The salmon bites were juicy and well seasoned. The honey paired well with it, I just wished there was a bit more of a Cajun kick to it but I would absolutely order it again. The chicken Mac and cheese waffle was delicious too - the chicken was seasoned to the Gods! It really brought it all together as the Mac and cheese was not terrible but not the best either. I would take home an order of just the chicken and be extremely happy lol. The mimosas were great! I loved the variety of flavors and they did not skimp on the champagne - which was a plus. Overall, I loved it and will be returning to try some of their other dishes. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Give it a try.

4.8 of 5 for this place. Highly recommend. Food was very flavorful. Lots of options to choose from. We had Salmon Bites with Hot Honey Drizzle, French Toast meal with Bacon, Eggs and an extra side of Turkey Sausage. Waffles with substitute Wingettes instead of Strips (2 big ones). An Apple Old Fashioned which my Husband did had perfect Blend of Alcohol and Flavor! Honorable mentions is the Salmon Bites, The Honey Garlic Sauce (I added to my Wingettes although flavorful without them) & that Waffle. The waffle was absolutely delicious. It has some glaze on it that makes it tase almost like a Homemade Glazed expensive Donut! So good especially with the Syrup! The Staff was friendly. Music made me not want to leave, they was jamming! My only ding was the Bacon! It looked more like Bacon Bits, lol.But everything was good to the last bite. Restrooms smelled good and was clean. They also have their own parking spot. Looking forward to returning to try other menu options. The other Patrons seemed ro enjoy their food selections as well. The couple next to us raved about their Mac n Cheese as well. Highly Recommend!

9/21/24 - Lovely brunch place. Our server was amazing. Everyone loved their food. I got the grits bowl with salmon bites, I picked the honey garlic for my sauce. It was so good. Great flavor and a nice portion of food. I also got the sides cabbage and asparagus. The cabbage was really good with a nice spice to it. The asparagus was okay and you get 4 pieces which cost 6. We also got a mimosa tower, we were a party of 6 and each of us were able to get at least 2 drinks out of it. The music was little loud, but if you are looking for a vibe you won't mind it. A DJ started playing in the middle of our brunch which was pretty cool. A great spot for a bachelorette party though and again food was delicious with amazing service!

Went here with my best friend for brunch/lunch on a Wednesday. SO YUMMY. Big vibes- they have loud music, a fun interior, a clean single restroom, a bar, and amazing food! The salmon was AMAZING. Highly recommend the salmon and grits or salmon bites. They’re huge! Kinda slow service, But our server, Sierra had an awesome personality and was so fun!

First, I’m not sure what y'all are paying Dej but.... TRIPLE IT!!! She was amazing and her interaction with my mom and family was to die for! The food, atmosphere, and DJ were a vibe too! We’ll definitely be back! Also, I saw other comments about them not having items on the menu.. they didn’t have salmon cakes I think. But none of us wanted that anyway! :)

My family likes to venture out and try restaurants. My daughters picked this place. As soon as we entered, it was LIVE!! There was a DJ playing the latest HIP HOP & R&B. The restaurant was picked because of the reviews and pictures of the food on the website. We did not know it was going to be a DJ there, which was a shocker. We had a reservation for 2 pm. We were seated immediately. Our server was in point with the drinks and food. I ordered the mimosas flight. We had the steak and cheese egg rolls and salmon(old bay/honey) bites as an appetizer. My husband ordered shrimp and grits, I had the French toast and my daughters has the chicken and waffles. We enjoyed ourselves and the food was great.
