Definitely the place to go to in West Frankfort. My only complaint would be consistency with product. Each employee seems to make the drinks differently depending on who you get.

I came with friends and they ordered a cold brew and the red riding (a signature seasonal drink) and they both loved their selection. The food selection is limited so the coffee/beverages are truly the star. We ordered some bagels with cream cheese and they were warm and toasty. They have a chess set on one of the tables and a shelf with games. It was peaceful and the person who took our order was really sweet and helpful! We loved everything he recommended. It seems like a great place to cowork or grab a coffee with friends.

Service was initially slow, our server was gabbing with another table for a while. But once she realized we were her table, things picked up. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It's that industrial chicken salad with only celery and the meat is pulverized into a paste. Very bland. The potato salad is reportedly homemade, but also very smooth and strong mustard flavor. Not great. The turkey bacon melt was a bit better. The grilled sourdough bread on both sandwiches was really good. And the pasta salad had a nice vinegar tang. It was actually really good. We found free parking about a block off the circle. Fairly quick in and out as we were driving through, so that was a plus.

When you walk in, there isn't a sign or anyone telling you to seat yourself. The place was busy on…read morea Saturday evening around 5:30pm, and another guest actually told us to grab a seat wherever we would like after we stood there at the door for a bit. There were 3 ladies serving the entire restaurant. From what I could tell, they were responsible for drink orders, bringing out food, bussing tables, and plating desserts and bringing those out too. There are no menus and only 1 option for family style chicken and fish, with a salad, bread, and sides consisting of corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, dumplings, and green beans. They don't tell you this. I had spoken to another guest, so I knew this was the case, but if I hadn't, with this being our first visit, I would have been very confused. We had a very young waitress who was still new. She was doing her best, and I felt bad for her, but we waited for extended periods of time on food, and never had a drink refill. The only thing hot when the food came out was the chicken. All of the sides were barely warm at all. The fish and hush puppies were also not hot. They bring you one piece of chicken each, and then we waited 20+ minutes for additional food once we were able to finally ask the waitress for more. The table next to us ordered desserts when we got our bread and drinks, and they still didn't have them when we had already finished our meal, paid the bill, and were leaving. The waitress explained to them that she had to make the desserts herself and she was slammed with just trying to bring food out and get drink orders and that she was still new. She apologized multiple times, but it's not a good system at all. They need someone bussing tables, so the waitresses can focus on drinks and food. They need a sign that tells you to seat yourself. They need to ask if it's your first visit when they walk up to get your drink order so they can explain how they do things if it's your first visit. The bread and strawberry butter was my favorite part of the meal. The side salad had a good flavorful dressing, but only comes as a bowl of lettuce with a couple grape tomatoes sliced in half. The food had good flavor, even though it was cold and we waited for extended periods of time to receive it. The restaurant was clean. Since you have no menu and no idea what to expect, the prices are $18.95 each, and a 4% up charge for debit or credit cards as of July 2025. Unfortunately, we were not impressed at all and probably would not visit again based on this first experience.
