Adventures in brunching don't even ask what number LOL

This was a spur of the moment choice since we waited last minute to think about foods.

Nice, small, cozy, quaint place. Right on the main road so easy to find.

Jamie seated us and told us about the specials. Drinks ordered - daughter tropical mimosa, me - Bloody Mary (rare occasion if I get something else LOL), GP kiddie mimosa (OJ n soda (?) - asked for Sprite, Sierra Mist, etc but didn't taste like it at all. Thinking the OJ might have been fresh squeezed but not sure.) Daughter happy with her drink. Mine was like spicy tomato juice. I added some salt n pepper hoping it helped - nope.

For foods - daughter - shrimp n grits, me - my mouth was fixed for chicken n waffles but Jamie said one of the specials was oxtails and grits so I ordered that, GP had her eggs (no cheese cause all they had was goat cheese), bacon n home fries.

The shrimps and grits looked good. Daughter liked it - had extra sauce like she requested. GP liked the plain eggs (edit - she gave the chef an awesome amount of stars for the eggs), picked through the bacon and home fries - they were cooked too much for her liking. Crispy is nice but hard to bite/chew is too much. I tried it along with her.

So I was excited to get oxtails and grits as haven't had either in a while. The oxtails were cooked perfectly - nice and fork tender. The taste was decent - not overpowering seasonings maybe made with onion soup mix?? It was good and familiar. The grits left a lot to be desired. Being served with oxtails an extra side of gravy or even pouring some gravy over the whole dish would have cut some of the stiff and dry of the grits. They were not really seasoned (maybe extra s & p and some butter would have worked) but tasted ok. Grits should be creamy and smooth with a touch of "gritty".

Overall it was a decent meal. The atmosphere made it welcoming and pleasant. May or may not return on our second round reviews.
