Breakfast was okay. Bacon and eggs were cold, and toast was so burnt it was inedible. Our server was excellent, especially considering that she was the only server, and trying to take care of every table in the building by herself.

Not quite up to the hype of the general review. The food was decent, some of it really good even, but the overall experience didn't make it to 5 stars. A little bit more on the presentation of food, a little bit more energy and attention from the staff and a bit more pride in the cooking. I wouldn't mind coming back and it beats the regular Waffle house experience, but it lacks stuff to become great.

Normally, this place is awesome. Great food, quick seating, better service. Unfortunately today, service was subpar to say the least. Our server, Chandler, was the worst server I've had. Very straight, no happiness to his voice, forgot drinks, & to top it off gave me my check 5 min before our food came out as if telling us to leave. Still left him 10%, but had he been to the standard that I'm used to from there, would've been much more. As I am a server myself I couldn't bring myself to not tip him something but it was the 1st time I've ever thought of not tipping. Yesterday, my fiancee and I went to waffle house...our check was a little over $22, I left Wanda, our server $20. I reward a great service when I see it. Chandler, was definitely not acceptable. Will try 1 more time, but I'm considering going to mama's boy from now on instead because of this.

The atmosphere was really cool. Our server, Harry did a great job. Food came out fast, hot and delicious. The blueberry crunch cakes were so good!

Came in for a little brekkie while on spring break with my kiddo. Absolute gem. We were greeted by the warmest, most genuine “good morning!!!” From what I am assuming to be one of the managers. Set the tone immediately. Aesthetically it was adorable, food was delicious and tasted real… not like the chain restaurants. Menu had little quips and fun food facts which really invites you in. Devon our server was fabulous, easy going, not rushing around. Definite must try in Athens!

First time in and on a rainy Sunday morning. Lovely restaurant with really nice and quick staff. My wife and I shared the Turkey Sausage platter, which was delicious! They also have vegetarian & vegan friendly options and can make substitutes for those with food allergies. I personally love that there's a variety of flavored creamer options (lil Coffee Mate creamers) at the table as many places we visit tend to only offer milk or cream with your coffee. Very cute place. We'll definitely be returning!

A nice breakfast/brunch spot. I had the Billy goat omelette...spinach, sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese with cheese grits and turkey sausage. It was very tasty. Plenty of seating and not a long wait even on Sunday morning on mother's day.

A nice place for a hot crisp coffee with flavor if u like and a wide range of pot-fillin breakfast and lunch choices !! I ordered a filling Quesedilla with Chicken and a hot coffee with half n half hazelnut french vanilla falvors !! Nd yes this place is all for your customized dishes, the way you like it !!

Quick service, decent value, and the biscuits and gravy was pretty solid. Only hang up was the potatoes, really nice and crispy fried, but consistently cold in the middle throughout. Not sure how you manage that. Coffee was flavorful for drip, not weak.

This is mine and my husband’s favorite breakfast spot! We come here weekly and have tried almost everything on the menu! It’s absolutely delicious and the waiters/waitresses are friendly and attentive! I highly recommend for your next stop through Athens, GA!
