Food and service were great! I got the scramble bowl , fried green tomatoes and french toast bites. 😋 We also got the bottomless mimosas. This place is popular so parking on weekends can be challenging.

My wife & I were looking for a good wing spot in Columbus and saw good reviews for this restaurant and we weren’t disappointed. Our waiter Brian was spectacular. Super friendly and attentive. We loved the hot old bay wings. The blackened shrimp salad was Delicious. And the Salmon BLT was really good also. I highly recommend this restaurant and to top off an already great experience the Manager Kevin came to our table and he was so Pleasant and welcoming. The staff even exchanged pleasantries…

Look at this to-go crab cake sandwich!!! Born and raised Marylander so I'm pretty picky. But this DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!

Great service today from Autumn! Super friendly, offered great suggestions and was witty, funny and great company! She made the experience that much better! Food was perfect, fast, and portions sizes were great!! We will definitely be coming back, and when we do, we will ask for Autumn!!!

Hands down best brunch in Howard county. Bottomless mimosas, orange crushes, red and white sangria and bloody Mary's for $20! The food is delicious as well! I love how bright the restaurant is with tons of windows and the staff are well trained.
