Pro tipp: if it is a weekend, register for the waiting list online and then go to the restaurant. they can be very busy. I always get the fried cats and.

Shrimp and grits....da bomb! beautiful size garnel. flavorful creamy and beautiful size portion. I had to make a left container.

We tried Hidden Manna Cafe for the first time we had a great experience dining in. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem ! First we were greeted by many of the servers which made us feel welcomed.Our server name was Lucy who kept it real with us re:many of the choices on the menu . The atmosphere was cozy intimate , felt like we were at home . The music was soft relaxing last but not least the food was DA BOMB . We tried the fried green tomatoes , shrimp grits , fish grits . Everything was filling GOOD ........ Would visit again

Good food. Good service. So glad to have found this gem. While it's a bit far from where I live, it was worth the drive and I'm pretty sure I will return ... very soon.

The Shrimp Grits were the best I had eaten from a local restaurant. The shrimps were not cooked and the dish was tasteful with the right amount of heat. Laura had the 3 cheese omelets, the eggs were so fluffy and her side bacon was perfectly cooked. Her fried green tomatoes almost brought a tear on my eye because they tasted so authentic at home! Our server Mo, was well informed about food and drinks. She visited us so well that we didn't want anything. We were received by the staff and made us feel like we were old friends. Tina came immediately and welcomed us to the Hidden Manna family not with lips, but in a real way. This is a special place and I recommend you all come and be part of the family! Laura and I will be over again, even on a 30-mile ride.
