    Start with some deviled eggs and a glass of good local draft beer. It's wise to come with friends so you can share the burger, okra étouffée (add crawfish) with a side of deep fried Brussels sprouts

    For brunch, get the Carolina Sunrise. BBQ Pork and Sunny Side Eggs on a Buttermilk Biscuit with Carolina Grits. So good.

    Would you believe there is actually a great spot that's great for groups? Lots of space, lovely atmosphere, diverse menu, a lot of beers, great service and cheap wine!

    The short ribs hash was tasty. Slightly spicy but done well. Be careful whn ordering the shrimp and grits....check for doneness on those grits. Ginger beer was good as well.

    The best brunch spot! Casual with a neighborhood atmosphere. Carolina sunrise (homemade biscuits, pulled pork, poached eggs, grits) is incredible.

    Best Southern brunch in the neighborhood. Get the two eggs special with cheese grits and a biscuit. They're the best I've tried in the North.

    The burger and shrimp & grits for brunch were stand outs. Love the pretzel bun on the burger, it was a great touch.

    The menu items change from time to time but are ALWAYS fantastic. For example, my fave crawfish fettucine is gone, but now there's a crawfish mac & cheese in the sides section. I'm ok w/ that!

    nice storytime. Don't be put off if you've never been here before. Enter on underhill, $5 to counter person (who will stare at you expectantly).

    Pulled pork and biscuits for brunch? How could Pulled Pork ever be bad I think to myself. Best decision ever! DO IT!

    Either the short rib hash or the Carolina sunrise are winners for brunch.

    Biscuits (and gravy) are the best. Small but quality brunch spot. Spicy, delish bloodies too.

    The food is pretty decent, but the big plus is how child friendly it is (early in the evening) without being a child focused restaurant.
