I didn't end them, but I bonus was, a hook and outlet was under the bar right in front of my stool. I didn't want the Friday special, even though some Fried Fish was tempting. All I wanted was some of their incredible hand cut and breaded onion rings. I paired them with a 6 piece bone in chicken wings in mild sauce. When served, I was pleased to see my order had equal flats and drums. The wings and rings were very filling. I ended up taking two rings and one flat and one drum home. They re-heated very well for the next days lunch. The service was a little off, but I will admit they were slammed. The bartender was slow on greeting and doing follow-up. It may have helped if they had an extra person behind the bar. Even a bar-back would have helped. They may have lost a star this visit, but I am sure they'll get it back soon.

Definitely a spot worth checking out if you want good food, cold beer, and a relaxed atmosphere.

I do not get to Wood River often but when I have, I have a few coffee shops I enjoy visiting…read more Today, I decided to try something different after seeing a newer shop open. Cafe LaNae apparently has been open about a year (as of this writing) so I went in because I was meeting someone for a Facebook Marketplace purchase. I didn't plan to be very long. I purchased an iced coffee for $7 plus a tip. After confirming my order twice (sugar-free mocha syrup), they brought me a sugar-free vanilla drink. Oh well, no biggie...It wasn't the best, but I'm not staying long. I have specific dietary metrics that I manage, so while waiting for the person I was looking for, I pulled out a muffin my wife got me that met those metrics. I took maybe three bites out of it while waiting. Quickly, I noticed one of the owners hovering over my table to see what I was eating, and within 30 seconds, the other owner came over and told me I'm not allowed to bring any food into the place. She tried to smile and act like it was no big deal, saying, "I'll allow it THIS time". Gee thanks! I tried to explain my situation and the fact that I had already purchased a drink and was planning to leave, and she talked over me, expressing once more not to do it again. I elected to leave after pondering her words for a few minutes. I understand the profit margins for these places are razor thin and I would not want people bringing in their own meals, but I bought a drink, tipped, and took two bites out of something that was mine that met my diet. This place is more of a brunch/lunch fast-casual Greek-style place. Nothing they had on their menu would have met my diet, at least not even for a couple of bites which I didn't think was a big deal. I won't return. Not after that experience.

Highly recommended! 2) The tea options are limited but all delicious. You get to choose your mug size at the same price. 3) I tried the strawberry matcha drink. The servers made it fresh on the spot.

I had some early morning test done at the hospital up the street and when I was done, I knew I…read morewanted some breakfast at Village Inn. Got there and got a little concerned the parking lot only had a couple of cars. While I was finishing my phone call, I saw several people walking out with carry-out. I went in, the sign said to seat yourself, so I slid into one of the booths. There were several tables filled with diners. My waitress arrived at the booth quickly and gave me a menu. I ordered coffee and asked to have time to glance over the menu. I knew what I wanted, but it was a new menu since my last visit and I was curious if there was anything new. It pretty much the same, but the new one looks way better. I went with the, Pancake Combo. It includes two of each; pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage links. The pancakes were huge and fluffy. I think they are some of the best pancakes served at local diners. My eggs were prepared hard and I requested the yolk to be broken. I then added some of their house branded hot sauce for an extra kick. The bacon and sausage were just, okay. They were cold, it was obvious both had been made ahead of time. It would have been a great breakfast if they were fried fresh. Now the explanation of the seeing the carry-outs. While I dined I saw the different waitresses place bags on a rack next to the door. After they placed a bag, shortly thereafter a person would come in and grab it and go. Seeing this tells me, they do some serious Grub-Hub business. The service was good my waitress was attentive and I loved her funky glasses. Dining room was clean and looks like it had a facelift since my last visit and it's looking good.

They offer 3 choices of potatoes; Hashbrowns, American Fries and Tater Tots. I was going to order American, but the waitress said her favorite was the tots, so I took her advice. They were a nice change of pace. I was surprised, about the seasoning. Most diners I have eaten at, are heavy on the salt, but not here. I actually had to add salt to my food and I am not a big salter. 6th Street is on my way to my part-time job and I am fairly certain, I'll be stopping for breakfast on the regular.
