“ 4.5 for service 4 for food which is nice diner fare. I had pancakes with warm syrup cheese eggs bacon and sausage. I didn't care for the sausage but some folks liked it. I sent back my cheese grits because it had a cartelized onion in it like someone stirred it with a spoon that was used to sauté onions. They were playing nice jazz so I could hear myself think and conversations could flow. It is reasonably clean and there is a big free parking lot right outside. Chris was my waiter and he was lovely. This will be my morning spot on my evergreen plaza shopping trips. bill was 20.71 for coffee and meal sans grits so not too bad. Between the jazz and the coffee I was cool. ”

“ Today I went to Hearty Cafe Pancake House with my guy and his family. It was 6 of us and we really enjoyed the ambiance and food. The only thing I didn't care for was the hash browns. Other than that everything was good. It was quiet our server Angel was Great!! He dealt with and ignored the sarcastic jokes. Our food came quick and the vibe was delightful. I loved that they had fall decorations up it's really cute and quaint. They have off the street lot parking and the restrooms were clean. I would recommend definitely! ”
