The mimosa carafe is such a good deal ($10!) and it did not disappoint." - Tyrone Omar M. (Yelp)

"First time experiencing their bottomless brunch and it's a great deal, $30 for various brunch options, snacks, and salad, plus $1-$4 drinks are a steal. My table tried pretty much everything on the bottomless brunch menu. The items we really liked: sweet chili Thai wings, T.H.S wings, avocado toast, lox pizza, breakfast mini pizza, yogurt parfait, fried chicken biscuit (not spicy at all and you have to like pimento cheese which I do so it was great), Cobb salad, brussel sprouts, Mac and cheese (interesting it doesn't taste like cheese you more or so taste the pancetta), and beignets (the strawberry sauce was really good)." - Tamara W.
