We tried a few different food items and YUM! The berry French toast was as you’d expect, soft and sweet. So good! The tamales were pretty good. I preferred without the salsa provided but my husband liked it better with salsa. I had delta breakfast sammich and that was delish and filling. Served with hash brown potatoes which I don’t eat. Only thing is the dj starts at 2pm on Saturday, which is cool, but we met up with someone we hadn’t seen in a while and it’s hard to catch up over extremely loud music lol Thta was our mistake though. Fun vibe l, if you didn’t go there to talk, for sure.

The chicken and waffles were great! Cooked to perfection and flavorful. The strawberry jalapeño margarita was good as well. The brunch menu, it was hard to chose what to order it all sounded delicious.

Great food. Service was lacking, which is a change from several months ago. Music was not consistent and volume went from good volume for dinner conversation to extremely loud.
