Simply outstanding. Thankfully we stumbled onto this gem during our short trip and ate here twice(might even try to squeeze in a third time before we fly tomorrow morning). Apart from the fact that the food really is utterly delicious ( I had the French toast and the pecan pancakes and my husband had the eggs Benedict and the breakfast sandwich) it's also the staff that add another layer of wonderful. Big shout out to Shakira who even though she refused to give me the secret to the tastiest turkey sausage I've eaten, she was the nicest, friendliest lady, an absolute asset to them. Honestly, don't even think about it, just eat here, if you have tastebuds you won't regret it, and if you have to wait a while because it's busy.. it's because it's that GOOD!
Wow! In town for Grizzlies game and stopped here based on the reviews. Delicious breakfast with southern charm. My husband said his favorite breakfast EVER. We came back the next day before we left.
The food is to die for everything was excellent from the beginning to end . The service is spectacular and the ambiance is amazing.
AMAZING food! I got the salmon cakes. Eggs were perfect, potatoes were the best I've ever had for breakfast potatoes. We got there a peak brunch rush out and still got in within 20 minutes. Beautiful interior with a great drink menu! 10/10 recommend
Superb service and food! Each item had such great flavor and was piping hot. As a non pork eater the menu is so inclusive and the turkey sausage was so flavorful. Wait time was about 10-15 minutes for Sunday Brunch. I enjoyed the decor and setup as well. Definitely will be back !!
This brunch spot is pure joy! You won't BELIEVE this gem! Every time we pop in here (which is basically every chance I get), their spinach omelette ends up on the table and it's like breakfast heaven on a plate. The most fun part? Every time someone opens a bottle of bubbly at the bar, the whole staff hollers "OPA!" - it's just that kind of happy place! The service is quick but they make you feel like family. Everything that comes out of that kitchen is just chef's kiss. They've got all these amazing New Orleans-inspired dishes. These folks started out in Nashville (bless their hearts) but moved here to Memphis, and honestly? Memphis totally lucked out! Oh! And if you're feeling adventurous after eating the whole menu, you can waddle over to the National Civil Rights Museum, check out some neat art galleries, or catch a movie at the theater nearby. The whole South Main Arts District is just the greatest! Pro tip: Get before by 10 because this place fills up faster than a kiddie pool in July! But trust me, it's worth rolling out of bed for and they move really fast. Just go. Your belly will thank you!
Came for a quick breakfast on the way out of town. Our party of 5 was able to walk in and get a table right away. Food was great and service is good. Parking is on the street. If you have time afterwards, walk across the street to the Loraine Hotel which is the Civil Rights Museum.
I was so excited to try this restaurant because in their mission statement it says that they never use frozen ingredients or microwaves and they only cook with virgin olive oil and butter! None of that fake yellow oil. I made it there before the crowd and it was a beautiful day for brunch. The decor was lovely. The artwork that hung against the floral walls gave the place a sophisticated feel. I especially enjoyed the music selection and the fresh flower on my table. My waiter was great, I ordered the Salmon Cakes with eggs and potatoes. I also had a fruit tea. The Salmon Cakes and Potatoes were perfectly cooked. The honey mustard sauce that came with it was sweet but good! If I had to change anything I would have preferred a lemon instead of a lime wedge. The potatoes were evenly cooked, no onions or bell peppers just well seasoned and good! The owners put a lot of thought into the decor so I had to check out the bathroom and it was also beautiful and clean! Well done! They have vegan and gluten free options as well as a cocktail menu. This is perfect for anyone needing a break from Chicken and Waffles (not that there's anything wrong with that) Variety is the spice of life!
