Decor is simple with splashes of color. I wasn't a fan of the chairs - they resemble the plastic ones you're likely to see in an office so they're not super comfortable, but at least they're not black. There was no wait on a Saturday morning. The menu is pretty standard, with various egg options, biscuits and gravy, French toast, and plenty of sides. We got the omelette and eggs Benedict. I asked for avocado and they brought a very generous portion of it on the side. Their smash browns were my favorite- they're thin and crispy and I love the crunchy texture. We split 6 silver dollar pancakes. Three would have been enough for two since we had our main entrees. We took plenty to go. Service was attentive, food came out fast. Overall, it was a great experience.

The Crescent Café was not our destination this Monday. We were headed to the Brown Cow Diner. An empty parking lot greeted us, they are closed on Mondays. We turned around had headed back to Highway 75 to implement plan "B." My wife spotted the Crescent Café's open sign on the corner of Rogers Blvd and Osage. Another U-turn, a parking spot was waiting for us just outside the café's door on South Osage. A few steps to the front door, we are in a comfortable booth, menu in hand and drinks on the way. The local fire fighters were already in the restaurant enjoying hearty breakfasts. The café has a big menu with any combination of breakfast or breakfast item you can think of. I ordered my breakfast, 2 eggs sunny side up, bacon and hashbrowns, both crisp with a biscuit and gravy on the side. It took me a while to find it on the menu. It is called Something Lighter, if you can believe that. My wife went with what I call a salad omelet. Fresh spinach, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, tomato and cheese cooked up in three fluffy eggs, perfect hashbrowns and a biscuit and gravy on the side. These were two wonderful breakfasts cooked up exactly as ordered. Wonderful food, fast friendly service, in a clean comfortable restaurant and Fire Fighter Approved!

The same could be said about Maple Ridge Grocer but with time. As you walk into the restaurant the well lit bar area is to your left with most of the dining area to the right. The colors inside are retro bubble gum pink and light blue with booths, low top and high top seating options inside and a patio. My coworker and I were meeting others for a team dinner so decided to sample the bar offerings as we waited. I ordered their non-alcoholic Lavender French 75, which came in a champagne glass. Sweet but refreshing, it reminded me of a drink that I used to order at a now closed coffee shop in Greenwood. For the sober crowd, you feel "included" with this drink without sacrificing the aesthetic. My friend opted for their mescal based cocktail Smoked Apple Cider and while I didn't taste it myself, she said that the "smoked" was slightly more than her preference but still tasted delicious. For appetizers we ordered their Fried Pickle Basket with various vegetables mixed in (including some green tomatoes!) and their queso, served with thinner cut wedge fries. The Fried pickle basket's offerings were a hit with the table but not so much the queso. It tasted good, but I think we had a pre-conceived notion of "queso" that didn't match the delivery. It happens and I would recommend still trying it as something beyond what you're used to. :) My entree was the cider pork chop that came with fried Brussel sprouts that I ordered extra crispy, cheddar grits, and an apple au jus on top. The pork was cooked well! It was bone in which is difficult to nail. The grits were good and I liked that it was the "bed" of the chop so all those delish juices mixed with the fine ground grits. For the brussell sprouts, I loved the fry on them but wish they have removed more of the stem. I ate around it and I am sure it's more of my personal preference than anything. I will say that if you aren't a "sweet" food person, get the au jus on the side. Something of note is that this place has ice water galore in carafes on the table but only serve soda in cans or bottles. They also didn't have sweet tea and I can't remember if they said they had unsweet tea or not. Another couple of notes: - These seem to be high quality ingredients across the board and the menu is small and seasonal. That also means the prices are going to reflect that, so don't expect chain restaurant price tags for a local experience. - This place also serves what looks like a fantastic spread for breakfast and brunch, so that just means I'll simply have to come back so I can have the full (yummy!) experience. - There is limited parking near the restaurant but it was easy to find parking near where you would park to do the walking trail near there, directly across the street from the Mercury Lounge near the other black building (name escapes me, I'm sorry!) Last but not least: Mariah was our waitress for a table of 8 and she was phenomenal, alongside her coworker whose name I didn't catch, unfortunately. Also the bartender/host was also helpful and kind when making our drink selections.

I decided to pack on the carbos with a short stack of pancakes topped with caramel sauce, bananas, and walnuts. Wow, they call this a short stack! I am quite certain I could never eat a tall stack! My wife ordered the breakfast tacos, which looked quite small compared to my pancakes, but she loved the flavor--a nice mix of scrambled eggs, avocado, and cajito cheese! More coffee!

Jojo's Cafe in Collinsville... Food, 10/10…read morePeople, 11/10 Service, unbeatable I noticed that the diner formerly known as Tay's had a new name and a very active Facebook page, so my son and I dropped in on Friday for lunch to try them out. He went with the Steak Fingers and Fries and I opted for the CFS, mashed potatos and as they had ran out of green beans, went with a bowl of pinto beans. First, the place was packed... which is great. That means ownership and staff are firing on all cylinders. The cafe seat around 50 people, max, so it's a small place to start. But even with a full lunch crowd, it wasn't overly noisy. There's one big room, about 6 booths, 4 tables and a counter that seats about 6. Not a lot of ambience or pizazz, but what they DO have in abundance is great food and wonderful people. Food arrived very quickly considering the crowd. My son commented that his steak fingers were probably the best he's ever had, and that boy knows his way around some steak fingers. My CFS was also one of the best I've had, and certainly the best I've had in quite some time. Crust to meat ratio was almost 100% with no meat shrinkage. Flavorful crust without being overdone and fork tender meat that I did not need to use a knife on at all. Mashed potatoes were fresh and scratch made. And very importantly (to me) gravy was in abundance. Too many places treat gravy like it's a scarce commodity instead of the cheapest thing in the kitchen to make. Creamy, smooth and plenty of flavor, it was the perfect cover (pun intended) to the rest of the plate. The pinto beans could easily steal the show. What came out as a side competed for the main event. Perfectly cooked with just a bit of bite to the beans, there was an abundance of ham chunks and to my surprise, bacon added in. Never thought bacon, but that's a go-to for me from now on in my own kitchen. Had a chance to meet and shake hands with the owner who was having lunch there with his family, and he's a nice, down to earth local businessman who understands how to treat and keep a customer. I liked it so well that the next day, I met my daughter there for breakfast, and it do did NOT disappoint. She had the pancake breakfast with cakes, eggs and home fries, and loved every bit of it. I had the ham and cheese omelet, hash browns and biscuit and gravy. Hands down the best omelet I've had around the area, and the hash browns were outstanding. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The biscuit was fresh and lighter than air, and again.... gravy was in abundance. Great experiences overall, and will not hesitate to make the short trip back up the highway for more meals.
