"I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy, my wife ordered the Two Egg Breakfast with a Biscuit served with fresh creme and fruit. The biscuits were not fresh and very hard. The gravy was essentially 80% ground sausage (not well seasoned) and was stacked on top of the scrambled egg instead of the biscuits. The eggs and potatoes were very good, but the bacon came out burnt to a crisp. Our server/bartender was good, but the other bartender was throwing glasses and bottles into the wash bin at what seemed like as hard as they could. Drinks were mediocre (pineapple mimosa and scrub mojito). You're mainly paying for the atmosphere as the restaurant is quite lovely, but the food just simply isn't worth the return visit."

"We stopped a place called Foode. I was looking for a place coffee, sweets and breakfast, to accommodate 8 before heading to the airport, to say goodbye. It was Saturday morning found handicap parking right across the street, as well with the other 2 parking spots very easy to find on the street. The indoor sitting was occupied but, we where happy to be seated outdoors. Even though we sat at separated tables, we didn't mind. We enjoyed the fresh air, scenery and the bird's chirping. The server was friendly, accommodating to special dietary needs and very helpful with recommendation. I ordered 2 eggs they were seasoned and tasty, hash browns homemade seasoned cooked just right, homemade biscuit w/butter/jam. The others ordered mouth watering chocolate chip biscuits w/peanut butter. A delicious warm sweet pear coffee cake, a warm Fig walnut caramel cake Absolutely delicious. Coffee's cappuccino. I would definitely recommend and return here on my next visit to Fredericksburg VA."

"The shrimp & grits are chef’s kiss. The shrimp are huge and the portions are worth the money spent. I no longer have to search for a good plate of shrimp & grits!"

"The good was good quality. My turkey sandwich was fresh roasted turkey and the chips were great! I did regret not getting the burger because it looked so good. My dad had it and said it was delicious. My mom really liked the pretzel bun on her ham sandwich. My only complaint would be that there are not many menu choices and I think more than half were vegetarian and/or salads. Overall we liked the rustic atmosphere. The food was good. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for."
