Chicken biscuit=amazing: spicy jam+PERFECT biscuit+juicy chicken! It is greasy; have napkins! The kale was great, the pimento omelet was a complex favor combo, and the potatoes? KILLER
Winner...You can get decent breakfast and brunch here. I tried grits at the first time. It was so good. You can imagine asian style soup. Get a table, not seats on the bar. Its uncomfortable.
Tricia BeanFebruary 9, 2017Catch up w/ business partner. special - butternut squash rosemary scramble. It was terrific! Usu disappointed with eggs. They were perfect! Hash browns were hard and over salted. Staff was friendly!
Sophia LiuJanuary 16, 2016Freaking amazing biscuits! Was hesitant to order the chicken biscuits - don't. Great for sharing. Great French press coffee, great server, great homemade jelly, just great.
KaitMarch 8, 2019Loved the “Chicken Biscuit” entree along with the French press coffee! The roasted red pepper glaze gave the biscuit a flavor to be craved! 🥰
William HerreraJune 12, 2017The wait is worth it. Best Chicken & Waffles. Short rib hash & eggs is such an awesome and fullfilling breakfast. Huge bagel! Fresh squeezed OJ!
- @SocialSweet SpotJune 13, 2015Food / service were stellar. I had Fried Egg Sandwich, a little pricy but healthy and delish and with it the palmetto cheese grits. Equally great. Service by Jared was wonderful. Quaint cottage atmosp
Chris KelnerJanuary 1, 2015Don't skip on the biscuit. Freaking amazing. Omelettes are huge! Also, great coffee and they have almond milk. Do not serve lattes though, just French press and drip. Batdorf & Bronson.
Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014I ordered the carrot-cake pancakes with two eggs over-easy, four bacon strips, and hash-brown potatoes. The carrot-cake flavors were convincing enough, the eggs were fine, and the bacon was crisp. Read more
- Kim BuppMay 5, 2013Adorable local place. Great atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food. Local French pressed coffee, blueberry crumble pancake, burger on a waffle, pear salad.. Definitely check this place out!
- Suja RamachandranMay 7, 2013Caprese omelet is fantastic (try it with egg whites!). Potatoes a great side. Friend loved the blueberry crumble pancakes. Biscuit was overdone (hard on the bottom and too greasy). Great service!
ChristieNovember 1, 2015Seasonal scramble was delicious - had sweet potatoes, red onion & cilantro. Chicken sausage was just ok, little chewy, wouldn't reorder. Pimento grits & biscuit with homemade blueberry jam was yummy.
Food was out in less than 5 min. The pimento cheese omelette was delicious. Cheese was rich and they were generous with thick-sliced bacon. Biscuit and pepper jelly were equally awesome.
Danielle GMarch 30, 2014Absolutely amazing. Incredibly delicious. Even a standard meal of two poached eggs and breakfast potatoes is crave-worthy. We go every weekend!
Griddled cornbread sandwiched with honey butter and thyme! Must try it if they have it available. 👍👍
John SeayAugust 12, 2018The chicken sandwich is excellent! Make sure you put the pickles on the sandwich - it brings out more flavor!
Colby HawkinsAugust 17, 2014BEST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD!!! Everything we had was exceptional! House-squeezed Orange Juice, Lox Plate, Home Fries, Staff, Service- John SeayAugust 12, 2018The chicken biscuit was delicious! Make sure you add the pickles to the sandwich, though.
TJMay 4, 2014A great little low key place with a nice small menu. The best organic Apple Juice too. The Fried Egg BLT is delicious.
Mukhtar VossJune 28, 2015Try the Mexican scramble with the beans on the side. The eggs taste better mixed only with the avocado crema and pico de gallo.
Constance DuncanNovember 17, 2015Best. Fried. Chicken. Ever!!! #biscuit #cheesypimentogrits #housepickles #delicious #mmm
Carly OrbonAugust 7, 2014They have the most amazing fresh squeezed juices and biscuits. True Southern style brunch, a must go!
Carrie GannJune 2, 2013Delicious food made up for the long, long wait. And they passed out free water and muffins while we waited, so can't complain. Try the kale!
Ashley MooreJanuary 5, 2013The pimento cheese and jelly is delicious. Everything is yummy! Service was great too.
Ebony H.November 30, 2015The 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)
Priscilla C.August 7, 2016Don't believe the hype. There's always a 1 hour+ wait on weekends but really the food is just plain average. I guess biscuits are okay but... Really? This is the south, biscuits are good everywhere.
Coffee isn't sitting in a urn for who knows how long, or on a burner since 5am. French pressed to order. Locally roasted Batdorf & Bronson Dancing Goats Blend.
- Everything is delicious here. Pancakes are the best I had. Made from scratch.
Always order at least one thing from the special menu...it never disappoints
Eddie FarrowOctober 9, 2015The chicken biscuit & hash browns were the BEST I've ever had - no doubts at all!!
Caitlin RyanNovember 10, 2013Go early before the place fills up and get the pimento cheese omelet. Best way to start a Sunday.
I did tell myself no Chicken in 2013.. But the BUTTERMILK Kitchen gotta the best CLUCKA
Kelli JohnsonOctober 26, 2013Order "Dad's Waffle". You wouldn't think that a burger, sourdough waffle, butter and syrup goes together, but it does.
Awesome eats but make sure to bring a sweater on a cold morning. The old building is drafty.
- Breakfast all day French pressed coffee . Spinach & pear salad makes me so happy
Fried BLT was amazing...definitely a must. Parking is a pain in the butt.
Lynn Marie FrancoJuly 26, 2016Good restaurant but the 1+ hour wait is ROUGH on Sundays during the summer when it's hot.

"Come in the early morning for breakfast if you can - it's quiet and empty. A little pricey, but worth it. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing and so is the coffee."

"By far the best aquarium I've ever been to. There are great exhibits but of course the main attraction is the whale sharks. They are magnificent and well worth the price of admission in my opinion."
