    Hangtown Fry -- yum!
    Anastasia M.

    We had breakfast at Cape Fear last Saturday and it was absolutely delicious! I thought I'd try something new, so I ordered the Hangtown Fry and I am so glad that I did! The eggs, spinach and sausage reminded me of Joe's Special, and the fries oysters and zippy sauce really rounded it out! So delicious! With fried potatoes and toast, the meal filled me up for the day! Plus, the coffee was fresh and strong and the service was prompt and fully of witty repartee!! The perfect spot to stop! And don't forget to check out all of the great shops in Duncan's Mills!

    Stopped by on the way to the coast. You can find the restaurant where the cute historic shopping village is in Duncan Mills (can't miss it! ;)) It was a relatively sunny day so we sat outside. The service was fast and attentive. We got our foos relatively quickly. Ordered the hangtown fry, waffle, and sausagse. Everything tasted fresh, not too greasy and flavorful.

    Stopped in while shopping, and I'm so glad we did! The food was amazing! I ordered the Tandoori Chicken Sandwich and it was perfectly done! The bread paired perfectly, the chicken was cooked and seasoned proper, and the mango salsa added a good depth of flavor without overpowering the sandwich. Well done! The service was good, the server (whom I'm pretty sure was the owner) made for a fun experience, he was friendly and also on top of everything the entire time. Great job! :) The Ambiance is that of a small French inspired cafe, and it fits in perfectly with the motif of the shops around it. If you're in the area and are looking for a good meal then look no further.

    I stopped by late lunch and the staff was still serving breakfast food! This is a tiny town in Sonoma with. Total of 79 residents in the whole town. There were quite a bit of customers in the restaurant and food came fast. You can tell everything was made in house including the bread. Nice polite staff and great food.

    The food was ok, service lacking. Long wait for check, silverware and no refills. The lady who was serving was super loud and kind of abrasive. Never told us the special either. Would try somewhere else and not return.

    Great salads and solid portions! Grabbed a late lunch over the holiday weekend and this place was packed! The portions were generous and the salads looked phenomenal. I ordered the curry chicken sandwich on homemade focaccia. The focaccia was a bit dense for my preference, but the flavors and spices were lovely. Fries were mid-range, but still cleaned the plate. The servers were all very friendly, even with the summer crowds. A solid lunch spot.

    Wonderful little spot. Extremely friendly staff. Had the salmon Benedict which was delicious! Best grits I've had in a long time. Surrounded by cool shops too.

    Has this place changed ownership? I can't find their website anymore

    Yep

    Are small well-behaved dogs allowed in the outside seating area during breakfast?

    Yes! We've taken our two dogs there many times

    What time does this place really open? I just called at 9:30am and it was closed though it says open on yelp.

    I think their hours vary during time of year. I just took a pic of their new summer hours posted in the window and will post to Yelp. Hopefully it's more accurate then Yelp hours

Ages ago I happily awarded 5-stars to Rocker Oysterfeller but when I came to Rocker's Roadhouse for lunch on a recent Monday afternoon things were decidedly not 5-star. The bar area that one enters first had no patrons despite a table of dirty dishes remaining. When we announced we'd like to stay for lunch we were asked to wait while a table in the dining room was cleared. That's exactly what was cleared: one table in the dining room. There were two other tables of customers in the dining room and now a single clean table. Every other customer-free table in that room was stacked with dirty dishes left by previous customers. This wasn't just unappetizing. It was disgusting and we opted not to stay for lunch. I'm hoping this was some sort of aberrant situation as opposed to standard operating procedure. C'mon Rocker's Roadhouse, get your act together.

We were there both times at lunch, so didn't go heavy BBQ (then again, we were in CA, so it's tough to find anything HEAVY! It was fresh and delicious, though -- no complaints!). I had two different salads when I was there -- the rib salad (HOLY RIBS BATMAN) and the Cobb salad (I dare you to find a bad avocado in the state of California). They were both fresh and delicious -- and even though the ribs were amazing, I think I liked the Cobb salad better of the two. My friend got the burger one day and the BLTA the other (see above re: excellent avocados state-wide, and Sweet T's was no exception). One of the two days, we were hankering for dessert as well -- and we hankered ourselves a slice of Key Lime Pie, which was a super smart choice, especially after eating such savory dishes both days. Cannot wait to return to Windsor to see my friend -- and when I do, we will definitely be back to Sweet T's!

We ordered the hushpuppies and Brussels sprouts from the appetizer menu. Both were great; the hushpuppies were a decent size and went well with the butter they were served with, and the Brussels sprouts were cooked well. We both had the brisket sandwich as our main dish. The brisket itself was good; the BBQ sauce was on the sweeter side but still good. I was, however, not a fan of the ciabatta bread. BBQ sandwiches, whether it's brisket, chopped beef, or chopped pork, should be on softer bread, like a hamburger bun. The French fries were good, and the tea was sweet with a tiny sliver of bitter aftertaste. Overall, the prices were reasonable, the food was good, the service was great, and the atmosphere was welcoming.

Parish Cade always brings back such great memories of that experience. The food here is the best New Orleans food we have in the North Bay and everything tastes very authentic. The beignets and chicory coffee are a must to start with. Just never inhale the powdered sugar! The beignets are soft, fluffy and covered in powdered sugar. The Po-Boy we ordered was the Ruffino, which today had a Tasso ham, egg, hash brown and arugula with a pickled peppers topping. It was stacked full with so much flavor and spice. We also ordered their Eggs Nouvelle Benedict. The crab in this was so fresh and the eggs were perfectly poached. The service here is always really great and they take good care to make sure you are happy. The ambiance has a nice, southern charm to it.

As I had not placed an order or eaten any food yet, I certainly wasn't ready for them. I had the fried green tomato Poboy and it was tasty although I did have to add some hot sauce to give it more of a kick. It was enjoyable sitting on the patio, which emulated in experience in Nola. Sadly, I did not receive the best service. For whatever reason the server seemed bothered by any of my requests. One of my friends showed up and join me and she was not given her beignets until after her meal and they were piping hot as they should be. I asked my server if she would kindly bring give two fresh ones that were hot- she did not look too pleased and told me that by the time I got home, they'd be cold anyway. I would've had enjoyed one hot in the restaurant and taken one home. Sigh...... The manager/owner came over and introduced himself and told me about the restaurant which was interesting. He was quite friendly. I was delighted when I saw there were greens on the menu assuming that they would be southern greens such as collard greens, however it was a salad. I absolutely would've ordered the greens if they were traditional. I'm thinking maybe the server was perhaps not having a good day.
