Some co-workers and I stopped here the other day on our lunch break and happened to catch their weekend brunch just before they closed! It wasn't until we sat down at our table that I looked them up on yelp and discovered they were to close in half an hour. I immediately felt awful that we were "those people". But I looked up and saw that the place was 100% packed. Every table was full and another party was seated just after us. Our waitress said this was pretty common, so they're obviously pretty friggin' popular!

I had already had a huge breakfast, so I opted to two sides - potatoes and breakfast sausage. The potatoes were very nicely seasoned and roasted, but they were cut in much larger chunks than most breakfast potatoes I've had. And the breakfast sausage wasn't seasoned quite enough for my tastes - they were on the bland side.

However, one of my coworkers ordered the Butch Jones and it was absolutely incredible!!! The menu describes this dish as a "smaller pancake" topped with a half order of apples and sausage. This pancake was by no means small. AND it was filled with scrambled eggs and strips of bacon!! The apples were cooked to perfection and the sauce it created was caramel-ly and sweet. This was the perfect sweetness to soak into the pancake and balance the kick of spice from the andouille sausage. My dear co-worker let me try a bite and I about died - it was absolutely everything you want in a breakfast dish. You got the salty, the sweet, the meat, a punch of flavor, not to mention the perfect layer of textures - the fluffy eggs and pancakes, the crispy bacon and the chewy sausage.

I felt bad for my other coworker. He was on the fence about what to get. All he knew was that he was really hungry. So he ordered a couple things - a pancake topped with the apples and sausage, a side of eggs and a side of bacon. Obviously, once our food arrived we realized this was silly because he could've gotten the exact same things by simply ordering the Butch Jones. But the menu didn't mention the eggs and bacon and the waitress failed to point that out. So he basically got the exact same dish but paid more because of ordering everything separately. Not cool.

One other positive I will note - great selection of music! I constantly noticed, "Hey, I love this song!" And the music was never too loud as to make conversation a challenge.

But now that I know my way around the menu, I will absolutely make the two hour drive back to Columbia as soon as I can so that I can have a Butch Jones all for myself!!!
