Word on the street
What locals are saying
Wendy and Jeff Gleim's all-day Westside café earns its neighborhood stripes — regulars walk here, and the intention is palpable in sourcing choices like Marsh Hen Mill grits, White Lily biscuits, and Brooklyn bagels. The hot honey fried chicken sandwich and cheddar grits draw the loudest praise, though at least one visitor noted the famous oversized cookies can tip toward stale on an off day. Limited seating keeps the room intimate, and the weekend menu's expansion — kimchi fried rice, Brown's Court sticky buns, omelets with rosemary parmesan fries — rewards those who linger.
