Very good breakfast but not as good as I’d hoped.
We had a late breakfast today and I wanted to try this place based on the great reviews. I will start with the positives.
We were seated immediately and our server was extraordinarily prompt, thorough and friendly. My wife had the Kiss My Grits platter and really loved it. I had the pancake plate with scrambled eggs and bacon - it was divine.
On the negative side - the restaurant doesn’t seem super clean. I think they do the basics but the bathroom walls were dirty, there were a few napkins on the restaurant floor and I stepped on crayons under the table when I sat down. I also noticed they use cracked/chipped coffee mugs to hold the creamer and butter. Why? They also didn’t clean the coffee maker well before they made the tea. It wasn’t awful but that bitter taste was definitely present in what otherwise would have been excellent tea.
Let’s talk about the multigrain biscuit. I’m not sure who came up with this culinary Frankenbakery nonsense but it needs to go and what’s worse is that it’s the only biscuit they offer. It’s dry, bland and makes me sad that people actually make it from scratch.
I will definitely be back now that I know what to avoid and hope they were just have an off day with the cleaning.

Visited for the first time a few weekends ago. Food was delicious, portions were great and prices even better. I enjoyed the Fried Catfish, eggs and grits.We will definitely be returning.

My wife and I have been wanting to find a good breakfast place so we tried giving this place a try. I got the chicken and waffles, my wife got Cream cheese special. It was good for both meals but sadly nothing to crave about. I won’t be coming back to make a special trip here for breakfast. Service was good and fast, the food was eh, that’s why I gave it a 4 star.

I love Thumbs Up! Unfortunately they didn't have the smoked chicken wings due to the pandemic. My husband took me there for my 72 birthday because I love the smoked chicken wings. The drive was a hour. I did enjoy the breakfast I ordered though. French toast are so delicious and the chicken sausage 😋

Pros:
- Cheaper than other breakfast spots. Breakfast for two consistently comes in at under $30 after a 20% tip.
- Breakfast and lunch options are delicious.
- Portions are generous. (If you get the catfish, be ready to throw down because that thing is huge.)
- Staff is well-mannered, friendly, and attentive.
- Outdoor seating is simple but pleasant. They have fans on the patio and rain covers, too.
- Never had a wait time longer than 15 minutes!
Cons:
- Occasionally the outdoor seating area is closed. You can call to ask if the patio is open before you get there, though.
- Indoor seating is tight.

The food was fantastic. Never had potato salad like that, it didn't taste like normal mayonnaise based salad. The burgers are a tiny bit under seasoned but all the breakfast foods are incredible alternatives. Wait staff are very attentive and incredibly friendly. If you can't find parking, DO NOT park at the fan place next door because they'll tow you faster than you can eat lunch.

Went for brunch to celebrate a birthday. The food was delicious. I got the chicken and waffles and enjoyed it. Took away 1 star because our server seemed overwhelmed and we had problems with our bill.
P.S. The chicken came on the side but I placed it on top for the picture.

We always love the food we have here. It's kind of tucked away with no sign out front, so you have to look for it. If you're in any kind of hurry, would recommend ordering ahead and picking it up since this place is almost always packed. Traditional diner atmosphere. Excellent breakfast food.
