Ebony H.: The chicken biscuit was...Ok...A little dry and overcooked for my taste. The chicken itself was juicy and well seasoned. And the red pepper jelly was good. Pimento cheese grits were room temp (ugh)
Kait: Loved the “Chicken Biscuit” entree along with the French press coffee! The roasted red pepper glaze gave the biscuit a flavor to be craved! 🥰
Carly Orbon: They have the most amazing fresh squeezed juices and biscuits. True Southern style brunch, a must go!

Samir Gillani: Hands down the best restaurant in Atlanta! Get the She Crab Soup, Peel and Eat GA Shrimp (messy but worth it!), the duck fat swordfish (holy it's good!), and fish & chips (huge!). Valet is only $3.
Creative Loafing Atlanta: Gently poached in glorious duck fat, this swordfish steak is all meaty and supple. It's surf and turf 2.0, and one of CL's 100 Dishes to eat in Atlanta before you die.
