Reviews

• 5★ Got the chicken and waffles and walked over to colectivo for a coffee and to sit in the beautiful patio. Absolutely loved the chicken and waffles. My husband and I each got an order and we could have probably shared 1. It was a ton of food. The chicken was absolutely to die for. Dip it in the maple — Ludi Dahl
• 5★ Food is delicious and tastes even better since we don't have to worry about being glutened. Their shrimp and grits is epic. I love their Reuben. My only complaint is it's a takeout place, no where to stay and eat. — Casey Vinsel
• 5★ Shrimp po'boy and chocolate chip pancakes are delicious! Generous portions. I am not gluten-free and just decided to try this place out. Very happy I did! Some of the best pancakes I've ever had. The pancakes are probably a better deal than the shrimp sandwich but both were good amounts of food 😋😋 — Kevin Wilson
