Tim Rossi: The Mac & Cheese is amazing and French Dips are great. Will be back but with a bigger group to share!
Annie Hung: A delightful mismatch of things -- Biggie Smalls blaring in a sleek, loungey space with delicious schmancy French dip sandwiches, mac n cheese...and top notch cocktails. Hey, why not?! It works!
Nicole: The icebox pie is an Oreo lover’s dream. Also get mac and cheese and add foie gras to it!
Brian Watson: Don't sleep on the jerk shrimp! Also, always get the candied yams with mac & cheese.
Ralph Andre: Very nice mom and pop soul food spot. The decor is ehh, but they make up for it with amazing food and friendly service at good price.
Alex: delicious caribbean home cooking. the jerk chicken, oxtail, stew chicken, mac & cheese, collard greens, and rice & peas are all SO good. big portions for affordable prices. and they have pepper sauce!
Molly Day: Cheese biscuit egg sandwiches and any coffee drink - fantastic beans.
Jeremy Davis: Great coffee and food. Be sure to scope the full menu, but you can't go wrong with the bacon, egg + cheese on a cheddar biscuit for breakfast.
Kirsten Lee: Ice coffee with free soy milk added by the staff! Pretzel stick! A variety of excellent baked goods including doughnut & biscuit. But no wifi and cooking smell from the kitchen aren't great.
Terri R: So good! Flapjack/hot cake cookie with chicken and waffles ice cream!
Kika G: The fried chicken and waffles ice cream is superior. Ask whoever's working which cookie to get it with--they've always got a secret special one.
Rachel C: I had the fried chicken and waffle ice cream with the coconut gluten free cookie. The cookie was amazing but it overpowered the ice cream, which just tasted like grease and salt.
