    Pulled pork sandwich
    Kelly S.

    This is a cute spot on the courthouse square in downtown Greencastle. I loved the atmosphere, cozy feeling and the decor - it's in an older building but has a lot of charm. Food was ok. I enjoyed my meal and would give it more of a 3.75 rating but not quite 4 stars mostly because while my bbq was enjoyable it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. The fries were good and had a rosemary sea salt seasoning that was nice!

    Millimeter high meat loaf
    Luke S.

    Solid eating place in Greencastle. The food quality was great. The service was a bit slow/understaffed, so can't hold that against them. The Cheese curds as an appetizer were great. Got the "mile high" meatloaf. Mile high in the name was a bit misleading. It was a bit small/ thin for the $15 price tag, even for where I'm based, though it sure was tasty! My wife got the pulled pork sandwich, decent tasting pulled pork, a bit more generous on the side portion, and amount of meat for $13. Though the food was great, I found myself scavenging off others plates as the amount of meat for the mile high meatloaf was a bit disappointing - not ideal after a 4 hour car ride. Great decor and ambiance inside. Probably would opt out of going there next time in town, unless if I saw the portions were a bit more generous.

    We decided to stop At a local restaurant on our way thru Greencastle. We walked in and this area was coffee and chocolates. The person working this area sat us on the restaurant area. I loved the look of the old red brick. They also had a huge metal clock on the wall. The waitress waited on us pretty quick and the food came out quick. My husband ordered the mushroom soup and didn't care for it he stated it tasted like onion soup. My huge tenderloin was very good. 2 people could have shared this. The homemade chips tasted great also. The did NOT taste like grease. Oh and is you order the strawberry dessert pizza share it. I really like the crust Will go back if in the area

    Crab cake appetizer. Super delicious.

    Went by here based on recommendations from others. Enjoyed the food and customer service. Top notch experience. Looking forward to returning. Blue crab cakes special appetizer with fresh crisp coleslaw. Rib eye steak with fingerling potatoes and sweet vinegar (?) green beans. Both dishes were spectacular.

    Beet Salad

    The food is exceptionally good here. This is not your typical little café or restaurant. The food is high-quality. The chef definitely knows what he/she is doing. I ordered the beet salad with a side of salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection. There were two kinds of beets, chopped up nicely, and the ingredients were all very fresh. Don't skip the desserts. All these desserts are homemade and they are sure to be a party to your pallet. I got the coconut cake. The coconut flavor was not overpowering in the cake or the icing. The cake was very moist and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My friend got the peanut butter pie. You talk about sugar overload! It was super sweet and she could only finish a half of it. She ask for a container and took the other half with her. We walked around, enjoyed the many decorated trees. They are even having a contest- pick your favorite tree and a gift card will be given to one lucky person.

    Chicken salad sandwich on a croissant

    Lunch at almost home is calm and relaxing. We enjoyed the ambience and service. I had the chicken salad sandwich with house made chips. My daughter had the caprese salad. Our meals were very good. But we were excited about the deserts. There is a display case out front when you walk in BUT these may only be available as a whole pie or cake. It is a different menu when ordering by the slice. It was still a great selection when she came for our order. We ordered the German chocolate cake with the coconut frosting. Very moist and fresh.

    We originally wanted to go to Bridges, but didn't have a reservation on a Friday night - so we walking around the block to Almost Home instead. We walked in and were a little worried to see no one seated when we'd just left somewhere with a 2 hr wait. Our service was very fast and our server was polite. The restaurant itself seemed outdated and lacking in character, we didn't feel as cozy as the name would suggest. Our food was pretty good. I had a salad with chicken and walnuts but didn't particularly like the dressing, not what you'd expect. My husband had a hamburger. The cocktails were great! We really enjoyed them. Overall, it was too expensive and we would only recommend the cocktails and their desserts.

    We haven't eaten inside since March 2020 and I'm glad we did at Almost Home driving through town. They were quiet and we were the only ones in there until a couple other croups came in. We felt very safe, they had sanitizer on the table, clean bathrooms, masks, social distance, etc. The food was delish! Rosemary fries are a MUST! Our server let us know that they just brewed a pomegranate iced tea and that was super perfect. We had the Cod sandwich and Chicken sandwich, Both A+!! The betta feta spread needs to be packaged and sold, it really took the chicken sandwich to another level! The only suggestions I could make would be temp checks before they seat you and to toast the bun on the chicken sandwich. Some food for thought;)

    Oh my goodness My favorite restaurant of all time the food is a true treat to the taste buds. The best menu Creatively is off the charts What a great environment The Servers seem to come from a 5 star restaurant Never would have thought I would find such a hidden gem A must try I had lunch But I will be back for the dinner menu ASAP Don't let me get started on the made fresh Desserts They truly have better Desserts than the five star restaurants that I have tried

    What a nice surprise I found on Yelp in downtown Greencastle. After finding some free street parking, I entered this tastefully done restaurant. There was an order counter with an assortment of desserts for folks to choose from and pickup their takeout items. For customers who wish to dine in there was a large dining room in the connected space. Tables were set mostly as four top seating with small floral arrangements on each. Since it was early afternoon, there was only one person working the front of the house, including the take out counter. Still, she checked in with a decent frequency and waits were minimal. I started with a cup of Broccoli Cheese Soup. This was generously portioned and came with a packaged cracker. The soup was thick and creamy with a tasty cheese flavor. The broccoli was cooked thoroughly and in small pieces so they easily fit on the soup spoon. I also ordered the Sante Fe Chicken Salad. Served on a bed of iceberg lettuce and surrounded by multi colored tortilla chips, the salad was huge with sliced chicken (cajun spices on top) on the side. The salad had sliced heirloom tomatoes, black bean salsa, shredded colby jack, and a small cup of Chipotle Ranch dressing. The taste was fresh and well balanced with the numerous ingredients. Note: The table knife was really dull and cutting the chicken strips down to bite sized pieces was difficult, so I recommend asking for a steak knife to make it easier. The salad also came with a mini Blueberry Muffin that was really good. I enjoyed my meal and was too full to try any of the wide array of desserts. I saw a tray filled with sliced pieces that looked very tempting. Review #2510

    Not as good as it used to be. Our group has been coming since 2017 and they haven't changed the menu at all. They need to. It's boring.

    I love a good road trip. The sense of adventure and discovery alongside people I enjoy is one of…read morelife's greatest pleasures. The Whisk has been on our road trip list for awhile, and we finally went with some friends. Greencastle has never been high on my priority list of places to visit, but I'd heard rumors about "The Whisk" being a great place to visit for whisky lovers like myself. And the rumors were true! Walking up to The Whisk...well, that doesn't happen. You have to walk down some stairs that are nondescript, giving the entrance a very old fashioned speakeasy vibe. I immediately fell in love. It feels like a secret club that I'm a part of! The decor is big city speakeasy vibe and lets you know immediately that regardless of shoe you are, you're welcome at the Whisk (see some of the pictures of the decor). We went on a Friday because they have a dinner menu only on Fridays and it changes every week. Tosh and her husband, Joel, are the co-owners and curators of all the food and cocktails. Although there are always small plates on the menu, the full menu complete with dessert was exactly what we wanted. The presentation and flavors of the dinner and drinks felt like being in Chicago or New York, not Greencastle! It was a delightful anachronistic experience. The blackened catfish and The Ghost whisky cocktail were some of the best things I've ingested in a long time. I can't wait to go back!

    We waited for a table. Then we waited at the table for 30 minutes. No one ever took our order. We…read moredecided to leave and no one noticed.
