Great Vibe!! Super nice staff especially Zoe! Homemade good food! Highly recommend!
Great atmosphere in this little eatery with some really cool old school vibes. The exposed brick wall matches well with the great selection of true oldies tunes playing. The breakfast we had was superb... taste and quality very good! Service was good!
Bartender 12/10, Chefs 10/10, Food 10/10. New to the area and delighted to have top-notch service here. I had the spicy chicken crispy sandwich, and my husband had the fish fry. Phenomenal turnaround. Though busy, they exceeded our expectations. Neat little place that could use an expansion ;) Will definitely be back.
My wife and I went here for the first time and the food was awesome and the staff was great. The only downside was my wife ordered Onion rings and got French fries instead. But we will definitely be back.
I love this place so much. It has a great atmosphere with art in the walls. I have not been able to have breakfast yet but every dinner item has been great. They have cocktails too if you like to enjoy a drink with dinner. You can sit at table, booth, or the counter where you can even watch the food being prepared. There is an outside patio area too for dining.
We came here on New Year's Day for their brunch and really enjoyed our food. I got their herbivore scramble with added bacon. I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness of the veggies and felt everything was well cooked and delicious. I love their thick cut sourdough toast and orange juice as well. My husband ordered their pancakes with their homemade strawberry sauce (which was also phenomenal). My kids enjoyed their pancake and French toast breakfast. Overall this is a great little spot.
Great lil eatery off the beaten path. Definitely a one of a kind type of establishment! It was more than a meal, it was an experience.
The food here is delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient. I'm already planning my next visit to sample more of the menu. This restaurant is a must-recommend!
Nice cafe, got my order for pick up. Burger was delicious as were the fries (perfectly seasoned) . Will definitely return. Again ordered, this time door dash, Wisconsin jambalaya was excellent, whole ingredients and good flavor. Haven't had the pie yet but have no doubt from the looks it is worthy. Good job kitchen!
I loved the patriotic murals and artwork throughout the restaurant. As a female veteran, I especially appreciated seeing women represented. It made the atmosphere feel welcoming and meaningful. The service was superb from start to finish. We had our dogs with us, and the staff even brought them water, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was excellent too. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. We will definitely be back!
