    We walked in not knowing what it expect but the menu was awesome, so many choices and there are vegan options too! There's lemonade and IPA's to your delight! It was spacious and we dined inside not realizing there is a back patio with the bar! I love the cozy space and the service was fast. The food came and it was superb! I ordered the salmon bowl with the crunchy garlic et al and it was off the chart! It was a perfect mix of rice, salmon and vegetable and the sauce was great! I would recommend this place if you have not tried it yet, you don't regret it. I will be back for the empanadas! PS they do have happy hour! Check them out!

    Located on Haun & Newport Roads in the 'Countryside Marketplace' near the Breakfast Club, with plenty of parking. There's inside and outside seating. We stopped here for lunch hoping for a great meal. While I loved the location and the spacious, clean atmosphere, the food was a mixed bag. We started with a 'Beef Empanada', which was excellent. However, I regretted switching from a burger to the 'Chimichurri Tri-Tip Plate'. The meat was bland and too pink for my liking, but the sides were the real issue: the mashed potatoes had an odd, burnt-rubber scent and a hard consistency, while the mac n cheese and bread were both too hard to enjoy (a disappointing menu choice for sure). On the bright side, the 'Thai Chicken Curry Bowl' was fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed their "Stubborn" soda station. Service was fast, and they have a great happy hour (7 days a week, 2-5 PM). I'd come back, but I'll definitely stick to the burgers or bowls next time.

    I have only been here twice, but this is a good option for a fast casual meal. You order at the counter and then take a number to your table. This style of ordering is especially useful when you want to be sure everyone can pay for their items only, or if you have a group who would overall like to stay a while and have individuals come and go as they please. They have a decent amount of tables inside and on their patio which is dog friendly. I also really like that the bar is outdoor as well. The food is decent. On the most recent trip, I had a burger and my companions had the ceasar salad and the Tuscan chicken sandwich. Both really liked theirs. We were able to have some wine and beer, a meal, and it was all very casual in about 30 minutes.

    We came here to grab lunch and we enjoyed our experience! This restaurant is where you order first, get a number to place on your table, sit down and your food is brought out to you! There are many options on the menu and we decided on the salmon plate, empanadas, brussel sprouts, red sangria and an old fashioned. They have seating inside and outside! This place is good for large groups and the bathroom was clean! They have huge bar outside with TVs! The food was okay. The drinks were good! The employees were all kind and friendly!

    Cafeteria style restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the staff were efficient. They have a happy hour menu, including beer and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating.

    Always delicious food and love the beer options. I had the Tokyo Glaze BBQ Chicken Sandwich and it was spot on amazing and the fries here are always amazing.

    Soooo sad to see the brisket bowl go! It must return! It was theeee item I would always order! I tried the tri tip bowl. It was alright. It might be a long time before I return.

    The rock hard throw away part of the bread

    I swore this place off and thought I'd give it one more chance. They didn't put the sauce in our $20 plate togo, there was one ounce of chicken in the curry bowl and the photo of this side of bread should tell you everything you need to know. Spend your money elsewhere.

    Everything was so delicious! Came here for lunch with the family. We sat outside in their patio. Service was extremely quick and each dish was absolutely amazing.

    Tri-Tip Bowl with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
    Leo H.

    First and last time coming here $60 for some dry chicken and tough tri-tip with no flavor..Brussels sprouts was good and the chicken had flavor but it was dry and definitely not worth the money service was ok but I enjoyed the beer selection..I might have to try something else but I don't know cause I had better and more elsewhere for the price I paid....

    Visited on: 9/13/25 Service: Was okay. I felt bad because it was getting close to peak lunch time and there was only one girl working the counter. Food: We tried the American Burger (1- medium and the other medium well), grandma mac and cheese, and sweet potato fries. The burgers were beyond well done and just tasted like burnt charcoal. Mac & Cheese was cold and was just pasta with cheese on top. The sweet potatoes were the best part. Lastly, we tried the chocolate chip cookies and they were good as well. Overall: We will more than likely never return. For the price of food you would think it would come out better. The burgers were just under $15 (side and drink not included). A small drink is $4 and sides range from $4-$6. Could not finish the burgers and mac and cheese. Picture is the Medium burger...

We all tried different combinations and they were all wonderful. Onto the food, we were blown away! Couldn't believe that finding this place last minute gave us such an incredible experience. The food was top notch and delicious. The Mac and cheese was soooo creamy and flavorful. The steak was cooked perfect and they have several dipping sauces to choose from. The salmon was a hit and the risotto went really well with it. I wouldn't be surprised if this place had a Michelin star, it was THAT GOOD. We were frequently checked up on and had a wonderful last night experience on our vacation. This is the kinda spot that looks like a hole in the wall in a strip mall but it's a hidden gem!!
