This place is a hidden gem! It was my first time here, but the service, the food and the atmosphere were great!

What a great find! I can see why this restaurant was featured on the FOOD NETWORK. The food is delicious, the service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere has a cute country vibe with a machine that makes fresh squeezed orange juice. My husband had the smoked salmon omelet and I had the caprese omelet with a pancake. The cornbread was moist but not the traditional "wet" style. The pancake was better than average. The omelets were top tier...some of the best my husband and I have ever had. Highly recommend.

Breakfast with co-workers. We had a few people who do not eat onions but were told all of the home fries are made early in the morning for the whole day. Melissa our server said that they refuse to cook potatoes fresh to order. That they do not accommodate or make fresh. She said that you should get tater tot’s or French fries for breakfast instead. The scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon were good.

First time here, and I would for sure return . Great location with plenty of parking . The service and wait time to be serviced is beyond satisfactory. The food is beyond fulfilling. The French toast was for sure my favorite. The menu was reasonably priced . Nice spot to come eat and to get some work done if needed . Clean and very welcoming .

My husband and I recently went here for breakfast. We went on a weekday and, while it was crowded, we were seated right away. Our server was friendly and polite. She came to our table to take our drink order just moments after we sat down. While the menu had various different options on it, it was not overly unique. Most of the items are the same breakfast options you would get at many other restaurants. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was not on the bone. It was chicken tenders. He knew this based on the description on the menu, but it is still disappointing. Not many restaurants offer chicken and waffles with chicken on the bone. My husband said the chicken tenders were seasoned fine. He also said that the coding was nice and crisp. He did not have much to say about the waffle quarters because they were pretty averaged to what you would get at most restaurants. I ordered the strawberries and cream French toast. The cream was simply whipped cream, and the strawberries were sliced, fresh strawberries. I have a choice between those or a strawberry compote. In retrospect, I should have gotten the compote. My breakfast was fine, but slightly underwhelming. I was hoping they would have a stuffed French toast option. There was nothing wrong with our experience, however, for a restaurant that was featured on the Food Network, I was not able to figure out what makes them over above. Again, it was not a bad experience at all. However, it was basic breakfast fare.

Food was incredible. Server was a bit forgetful but it was very busy and we're all human. It got very loud in there at brunch/lunch time but it's still a comfy atmosphere and you can hear your table. Unfortunately they don't do anything like a candle or dessert for birthdays but the food is so good I will come back again and again!!!

Stopped in at the Breakfast Shope with coworkers and were seated almost immediately. The menu was huge, portions were generous, and everything looked great. I had the sausage gravy on biscuits—perfectly seasoned with peppercorn and absolutely delicious. Great spot for a hearty breakfast!
