The menu is amazing! The oxtails are tender and full of flavor... desserts and drinks are great and the red velvet waffle was bomb

Uptown breakfast is delicious. I’m from Atlanta & I love breakfast food. I had the big breakfast for 15 and it was worth it. My husband ordered an omelet and I was great too. 10/10 you don’t be disappointed.

They said it was a 25 minute wait but it was way less. That was great. Our waitress was great, she gave us a great recommendation for the liver and grits and the oxtail omelette. The salmon croquettes were so yummie as a starter. We got there at 11 and didn't leave until 3. The drinks were on point, the food was on point, and the service was on point. I am definitely coming back

I absolutely love this place! The grits were creamy and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. I loved the freshness of the fish. It was light and tender.

Visited for breakfast, was a very busy day. Bartender Ryan had it handled though, serving tables and managing the bar. We started off with a mimosa and LIT. For our entrees we chose Chicken & Waffles and Fried Catfish and Grits. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. Will definitely be back in the near future.

Amazing food & amazing people! Worth getting on the waiting list for a table. Now hear me out, I didnt actually have to wait in line myself as I came in alone and got a seat right at the bar. From what I was over hearing, groups of 4 & up were waiting for around 45mins. That being said, I myself would not wait any where near that long but I do understand why people will wait.

Great place for brunch..make sure you get there early cause you can't reserve tables. The service was great and the food was delicious .

Visited on a Friday morning. Wasn’t super packed. We received our food maybe 10 minutes after ordering which was great. The food was good. I had chicken and waffles. The chicken was well seasoned. I will return.
