Crema's Take

Smothered is a lively brunch destination where Southern comfort meets specialty coffee, with tender fried chicken and waffles that justify the visit despite the pricier menu. The vibe is decidedly social and welcoming—think bustling Sunday mornings with attentive staff and a self-serve drip coffee station to sip from while you settle in, all wrapped up in a cute, intimate space that feels made for lingering with friends.

It was on point at Sunday brunch time. Busy but we didn't wait for a seat, our hostess was ready to seat us, our server was fantastic, attentive, and made good suggestions. Thanks Nicandra! And then the food. The food was awesome. We'll be back. Also, ftr, it was reasonably priced.

The fried chicken and waffles were so delicious! The fried chicken portion size was small, but the meat was so tender and juicy. The potatoes went well with the dish as well. Definitely pricey, but a fun brunch spot with friends for special occasions. Staff was friendly and restaurant interior is very spacey but open so it’s very loud during busy meal times. Plenty of parking behind the building.

We ordered online and I ordered the corn beef smash. Only got two tiny pieces of corn beef and a ton of deli turkey meat. Turkey meat was not an add on and not what the menu states. What a huge disappointment! You get more corn beef at Stripes Burrito! In the second picture you can see the tiny bit of corn beef compared to the deli turkey meat.

I was really excited to try this restaurant, especially after seeing all of the good reviews. My sister and I went this morning and awful is an understatement. After ordering it took the food 45 minutes to make it to our table and when it did arrive it was cold and not what we ordered. We then received what we ordered, also cold, and the food was very greasy and not appetizing. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and my sister ordered the Avocado toast. Our food looked nothing like the photos of what other people have posted here. I’ll never go back. We saw our waitress once after ordering and that was just to drop off our bill. It was expensive and not worth it.

Really enjoyed my first visit! Self serve drip coffee station while you wait if there is one. Very cute interior and bar seating. Simple but great menu options, unique as well. Even though there was self serve coffee, our server brought us a fresh pot to have at the table. Omelet I ordered was delicious and good portions. Service was awesome.
