    The place is delicious! The service is fast and wait staff very courteous. Sit at the counter and watch Kelly work! I got a biscuit with cheese and soy-sage plus grits. The hazelnut latte was huge!

    The BEST GRITS In the Universe!!! I've probably tried grits in every place that offers them and nothing compares to the FB. Also get the freshly baked biscuits - to die for - specially w/the apple jam

    I'm not too big if a fan of grits and I'm from the south, but I absolutely love the creamy grits here. They don't have that gritty feel. Fried chicken, collards, Mac n cheese along w/ breakfast👌

    Great place for brunch. I came here a few times with friends and each time tried something different on the menu. Omelettes, cheese grits, chicken sausage are all too good. Be prepared for the wait.

    The High Flyer is perfect for you first timers at the FB. A sampler if you will of the favorites- grits, oatmeal pancakes (peach compote=YUM), moon dusted potatoes...eat half and take half home.

    I'm a fan of this place going back to chandler park in the 90s. If you like hearty breakfasts the smoked salmon scramble (or shrimp) is pretty spectacular. You should try it.

    Every Wednesday through December they will randomly choose a time at lunch and dinner where everyone in the restaurant gets entire meal for free as a thank you for being a customer!

    They have done much to decorate the interior in colors and with a farm theme. Good biscuits but other items routine and more expensive than other places in area.

    Good food... But do note that a lot of the meals come with biscuits, so check before ordering biscuits if you want them... We ended up with more bread than we needed for one evening;)

    I normally love this place but I came today & was told the only way I could get a pumpkin pancake is to pay an additional $8 for 2! :( isn't it good business practice to give customers what they want?

    Really dissappointed. I've been to the one in Raleigh and had high expectations. They didn't bring everyone biscuits, the server was rude...we had out of town guests and I was embarrassed. Bummer.
