Seriously do not eat here. I tend to shy away from leaving bad reviews but I just spent $50 on food I didn't eat. The utensils we dirty. Everything on the table were coated in dirt and old food like they literally never even wpie the condiment bottles. Then the food itself was gross. The coffee was either extremely watered down or decaf. The half/half were in this dirty take out bowl with milk all over them. The food was disgusting. I ordered French toast which weren't cooked through, they were mush inside. I ordered scramble eggs with cheese, there was no cheese. My Dad ordered a cheese omelet with bacon on The side. They ended up putting the strips of bacon inside the omelet. Like cooked separately but then wrapped in egg.. ?? My mom ordered this Country plate that was a mix of a giant piece of ham and Burnt chicken. Covered in gravy sauce. It just was all bad. And there were literally only my table and one other table so it wasn't that they were busy. The sad part is years ago this restaurant used to be amazing. It had the best menu. Literally lines out the door. The food was amazing even though they were packed to the brim with customers. If you are expecting to ear at the old James Brown Place please know that this is a completely different place. I still ended up paying for the food that we didn't eat because idk why. They made it so I felt bad not paying. I also like to avoid conflict especially with my parents being there. I also still left a tip because its the right thing to do. Also the waiter asked if I wanted to remove anything from the bill. I declined because honestly, everything needed to be removed. Nothing was eaten. I didnt even drink the coffee. I've just never paid $50 at a restaurant and walked out hungry.

The food changed a lot I used to come in and order bacon and breakfast potatoes. Tje breakfast potatoes taste like fresh pumpkin and squash instead of potatoes.
