Scramble Bowls
“This is a place where you are definitely going to get the bang for your buck! We went during our visit to Murfreesboro. It’s a cute little dinner with a traditional and modern flare. We started out with our beverages. Let me say that’s the biggest cup of cranberry juice that I have gotten from a restaurant and least expensive. I ordered the Southwest Scramble Bowl. It is loaded avocado, black beans, corn, diced green and jalapeño peppers, onions, tomatoes, scrambled eggs served over hashbrown potatoes, drizzled with salsa and sour cream, and topped with green onions. Hubby had the Fried Chicken & Waffle Half a fried chicken and a Belgian waffle, topped with powdered sugar and sweet, strawberry butter. Served with our signature sweet and spicy sauce. The chicken was so delicious and juicy. You definitely want to try that out. Great place. Great service. Great prices.” Tiffany J., Murfreesboro TN ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (via Yelp)
Avocado Toast (pictured above)
“I went here for the first time the other day to catch up with a friend over breakfast while she was in town. It had a fun decor inside, it seemed retro but was modern and clean. Our waiter, Jalen, was awesome and was channeling Jonathan in all the best ways. He gave great recommendations, super nice and professional and was attentive but gave us space to chat/not hover. I recommend the avocado toast!! So good. My friend got their French toast and strawberries (extra$)…” Sydney F., Murfreesboro TN ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (via Google)
