Great food in such a nice environment. The chicken fried steak might be the best I’ve had! And the biscuits are so yummy. 😊 The service is friendly and attentive. We walked in the garden after eating and met the owner who was very nice. Also want to mention it’s worth waiting a little bit even if there is a line!
⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟 I’ve been to this place now about 5 or 6 times, and I need to eat here at least once a month. My mental health support literally comes in the form of their 🥞 buttermilk pancakes with the in-house syrup and 🥔 parmesan breakfast potatoes. Also, a really special shoutout to the service staff 🤍✨ — how willing they are to work with you for all types of modifications. Instead of just saying no, we don’t do that, they genuinely make attempts to try and satisfy your needs in the best way possible, and that’s just that added touch of Southern hospitality 🌿🌞 that a lot of other businesses are missing out on.
The food, the staff, and atmosphere is beyond excellent! Been coming back every weekend. This place is not only consistent, they’ve been killing it with the desserts, and I’m not really sweets kind of person.
Omg.... this is the best pancake ive had ever in my life... idk what's in it maybe its the syrup... Service was great... THIS ARE THE BEST PANCAKES YOU WILL EVER EAT, the eggs need some season salt... but overall im impressed its either a 1 or a 5 with me... I didnt have a wait because I was eating solo... didnt get a chance to check out the beautiful back... but the food is amazing... I will bring everyone I know here and it will be highly recommended...
Although the ambiance at Garden Café is wonderful, I would only recommend it with reservations, and not the kind where you call ahead. While the ingredients are farm fresh, the dishes still felt heavy and unhealthy in preparation. The fried okra was flavorless and oily, the gnocchi settled like a brick in the stomach, and the biscuit was salty to the point it burned my mouth. Many menu items were already unavailable early in the evening, which was disappointing. Our server was very personable, but seemed overwhelmed despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. Service overall was disorganized: food was often delivered to the wrong tables, and at one point the bartender was running food and stopped at three different tables before finally finding the right one. Overall, a beautiful setting, but the food, service, and execution left a lot to be desired.
