I thoroughly enjoyed the Cobb salad, which was both fresh & delicious! My friend had a veggie scramble and a generous serving of cornbread. It's a nice place to catch up with a friend!

Fantastic Cornmeal Pancakes!
As a pancake lover, I tried their buttermilk and cornmeal pancake and was not prepared for how great a cornmeal pancake could taste! Solid coffee - I believe they use Equator beans. Cute neighborhood breakfast/brunch joint!

Heavy Burger Burrito, Casual Diner
My experience at this casual diner was quite filling. I tried the burger burrito, which was very heavy and satisfying, earning a 4/5. To enhance it further, I believe it would benefit from a more acidic flavor profile; I personally enjoyed mine with ketchup.
My friend, on the other hand, really liked the house-made chips. The restaurant has a casual diner vibe, and I was pleased to find that the bathroom was nice.
