This place is amazing. I went on a Sunday midday for brunch and I was very very happy with everything we had. I had the biscuits and gravy, and my girlfriend had a salad with grilled chicken added. Let me just say first of all the people here were very, very nice professional and very courteous they made you feel at home and treat you like well-known friends. The atmosphere is amazing. It’s a cute well decor areas with eclectic type of paintings or drawings or posters. I love it. The bar looked amazing. I would like to come here at night time just to see what it would be all about. But most importantly my food was amazing. I will come back again for the fact that they were very nice and the food it was amazing.

We enjoyed our dining experience here, our waitress was very friendly, remembered our order perfectly without writing it down and always made sure our water glasses were full. We loved the eclectic and fun environment. We went on a Saturday for brunch, the food was good but we felt it was a bit overpriced. The Brussel sprout combination was refreshing from what you see everywhere else but somewhat burnt for our liking. The burger was well seasoned but a bit on the salty side. The salad was really fresh and I enjoyed the raspberry vinaigrette. My partner got the chicken shawarma and enjoyed it too- but both sandwiches were really messy, so super thankful for the cloth napkins. We most likely will return to try some other items.

I flew in from Boston looking for a farm to table place and this was the spot I will always come back to! Annabelle was the most precious server with not just a great personality but knowledge about the menu and preparation of how things were cooked. I will be back and I will most definitely ask for Annabelle!!

Great brunch spot! Lots of options that kept our whole group happy. The beignets were pillowy soft with a nice chew, came out piping hot, and paired perfectly with raspberry honey.. so good. The waffle batter reminded me of funnel cake (in the best way) but had the texture of a moist, fluffy waffle. The biscuits were fresh and soft, served with savory gravy and sweet bacon pieces. The Shawarmacy Chicken Sandwich was delicious, though it could’ve used a little more tzatziki. All in all, highly recommend. We’ll definitely be back! Items ordered: Mimosa Flight, Beignets, Shawarmacy Chicken, Biscuits and Gravy, Rise 'n' Shine, and several Churro Waffles.

I was in Knoxville for work and wanted to grab a bite before heading home. I was in the mood for brunch, and this spot came up on Yelp. I sent a few options to my wife, and she chose this place. When we arrived, we were told there would be about a 30-minute wait, but it ended up being closer to 15 minutes, which was a nice surprise. The ambiance and décor were beautiful—very cute, cozy, hometown vibes. While waiting for our server, we looked over the menu. There were tons of unique items—definitely different from what you normally see. Even though I thought I wanted brunch, I ended up going with the beef dip, while my wife ordered the burger of the month. She also chose the goat cheese hot honey as an appetizer. When the appetizer arrived, I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious, especially paired with the crostini. My beef dip came with seasoned brisket that was incredibly tender. Some of the brisket juices soaked into the fries, giving them an extra layer of flavor. The au jus was perfectly balanced and didn’t overpower the brisket. My wife really enjoyed her burger. Her only minor complaint was that the fries were mostly short pieces instead of longer cuts, but they were still crispy, hand-cut fries. Overall, this is a solid spot, and if I’m back in Knoxville, I’d definitely return.

I was traveling for work from out of town, and this place was highly recommended. I also love farm to table restaurants. This place did not disappoint. The food, service, and atmosphere was top notch. I highly recommend making a reservation. My waitress, Caroline, went above & beyond!

Very cute farmhouse feel with great quality local food. Definitely my type of spot! I ordered Brussels sprouts to share and then a breakfast bowl with arugula, egg, sausage, etc. My boyfriend ordered their season burger which came with thick cut bacon and blue cheese. Both dishes phenomenal!

My party of three arrived on a Saturday just after 11 AM, and within 45 minutes the restaurant had a noticeable wait — a sign of its popularity. We were seated with Alexander, who did an excellent job handling my multiple food allergies with care and ensured no cross-contamination. We began with Vietnamese coffee and beignets. While the frozen version on the menu wasn’t available, I didn’t mind since Vietnamese coffee is typically served iced. The beignets leaned a bit sweet, but the raspberry smear paired well and balanced them nicely. For entrées, everything was well-prepared: my eggs were cooked thoroughly as requested, the arugula was fresh and crisp, and the sweet potato hash was flavorful. The waffles were excellent — my son especially enjoyed the banana pudding served alongside them. The chilled salmon salad with lemon and artichoke was also a refreshing highlight that we all shared. To finish, we tried the Dubai chocolate-inspired dessert. It was good overall, though my table had mixed opinions — positive but not the standout dish of the meal. The only drawback was the atmosphere near our table: several younger staff members gathered at the front and were chatting loudly, which became a distraction. Overall, we had a great experience with attentive service, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and unique menu options. Despite the minor noise issue, I will happily return.
