Waffles are great, but try the gumbo when you get a chance too.
Pete BergJanuary 10, 2010The fresh whole wheat toast here was ridiculously delicious. I mean, how often is the TOAST good enough that you would post about it? Get some!
Franklin MillerNovember 14, 2016Placed my order...waited 45 min. No food. I'll have to think about going back again.
Paul SalingerMarch 12, 2010the pulled pork hash with bell peppers and two poached eggs on top was fantastic.
Giovanni Bryden RosasJuly 14, 2013They will tell you to wait 1 hour and 30 minutes and you will listen.
Go for a late lunch, post 2:15pm, and the wait usually isn't too bad.
45 minute to an hour wait at 10AM. Get here super early or don't go.
bastylefilegirlNovember 1, 2012The waffles (made with corn meal) will not get you full and if you don't like hard or crunchy waffles avoid avoid avoid.
- I just got to meet the mayor - he looks just like his photo!
Danalynne WheelerOctober 9, 2012The waffle is good plain, but when you add the apple cider syrup it becomes amazing! We only had to wait 15 minutes and were served coffee while we were waiting - the staff were all very nice.
