“ The food was good, the service was great and it had a nice atmosphere. I had the skillet, and all of the ingredients appeared to be fresh. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area. ”
“ Best brunch I've had in Peoria while working. The fresh juices are my favorite. The steak tacos are fabulous. Chefs kiss. ”
“ We eat at University, Junction City, and Grand Prairie. I have some audio issues, and the Junction City and Grand Prairie locations are a bit loud and echoy for me. All locations are always good to great with service from our experiences. I love almost all of their benedicts. The chicken/waffle benedict is probably not, for me, in the love column. It just doesn't work as a benedict, imo, but isn't bad. My wife loves the pancakes. She also love the one squash based fritata. The sharshuka is good, but I am always forgetful about how soupy it is. The university location is close, quite, and great service always... The only complaint here is the parking lot is difficult cause you guys have a following. ”
“ I moved here by myself a month ahead of my family in 2021. I spent my weekends taking myself out to brunches and this place was an INSTANT favorite. I was on meds that made me nauseous and my appetite was terrible, but here I get a half order of biscuits and gravy with a side of the greens and lemon vinegarette, plus some coffee, and it is just the best! When my family got into town, we started making it a regular weekend tradition and every single one of us loves everything we've had to eat or drink here and at the other locations. Our newest obsession: the chimicurri sauce!!! My husband started asking for it to put on his eggs, you should try it! Keep making delicious food with a friendly atmosphere! ”
“ Great meal and Service! Calm and inviting atmosphere for a Friday morning! Very clean environment! ”
“ I've never had anything bad here. The food is delicious, service is always wonderful, and just a great place to get brunch/breakfast with a friend! ”
“ Excellent service, awesome breakfast with big portions and Gluten Free bread. Yea! Very clean place and actually saw them wiping down the menus. The bathrooms were very clean as well. ”
“ Seated quickly and pleasantly. Bfast special ROCKED- Bfast sandwich with a FRIED GLAZED DONUT bun. Ham/cheese/egg yoke coating ooooh myyyyyyy. Plz add to everyday menu!! ”
“ We decided to try this restaurant and we were not disappointed! The food is amazing! The gravy to the biscuits and gravy is very flavorful! The shrimp and grits have shaved Parmesan which takes it to another level. It will definitely be my new breakfast place when I'm in town. We had pretty good service while there, no complaints. Inside has a decent amount of seating. The noise level was low compared to other restaurants I've been too, which I liked. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend you stop by and give it a try! ”
