Local cafe with great food and service. How can you not love a place where the whole kitchen sings when Sweet Caroline comes on the radio? The atmosphere was amazing. My companion got the special, it was the Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage bowl, highly recommended. Well definitely return.

Great spot for breakfast or lunch. Daily specials are always a treat. Friendly staff, flavorful food. Coffee is some of the best in town. Creamy grits and fluffy omelets never disappoint. Ive watched this location morph over 30 years. This rendition is by far the best. Make Hart Soul your next stop for a great dining experience.

Not bust at all early on a Sunday morning. Almost traditional Benedict with a special old bay like dusting, and they provided a steak knife without being asked, so I knew that they knew what they were doing. A lot of places just give you a ...
