First time at Courthouse Café in Spotsy today! Wow! I cannot say enough good things about this place. I only wish it were closer to my house; it was a bit out of our way, but not impossibly difficult to get to.
We came in about quarter after 1pm (they close at 3pm on Tuesday's). Place is very small; your average American diner décor inside and out. This makes me love it even more. Being that I was born and raised in Ohio, I really felt like I was 'home' with this place. It's quaint and cozy, and gives that small town feel.
No sign to 'wait to be seated' when entering; someone greeted us, but we went ahead and just picked a booth. The older woman took our drink orders (both my husband and I had an unsweetened iced tea with Splenda). Another waitress came for our order. I mentioned that it was our first time here, and we'd need a couple of minutes to look over the menu, and she let out a big, "Well welcome!"
They were all out of the specials for the day. But they run a daily special where you can get any burger or sandwich with fries and a drink for $9.95 or 2 massive slices of pizza with 2 toppings, and a drink for the same price. Normally, my husband and I would split an entrée, but we weren't sure when we'd make it back over here, so he got a bacon burger with fries and I ordered 2 slices of pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms. We still split everything.
The burger was fantastic! We ordered it with lettuce, tomato and onion and ketchup, mustard and mayo on the side. It needed no sauce. It was so juicy and flavorful, it wasn't necessary. The fries were super hot crinkle fries, crispy on the outside, and fluffy inside, and they did not skimp! Man, that burger and fries was good!
The 2 slices of pizza were the equivalent to a half of a large pizza! I wasn't expecting anything like that. The crust was thin; crispy on the bottom and chewy on the end (perfect), but the flavor of the sauce was kind of bland, and the pepperoni wasn't spicy enough. But truly, wasn't 'bad' pizza. I'd just say that pizza probably isn't their specialty, but I'm very picky about my pizza. They were so big, I still had to bring most of my slice of pizza home for dinner.
Our service was fantastic! Our waitress was super friendly, and I wish I would have got her name...but shout out to her for making our first time to Courthouse Café a great visit!
This is a diner. If you go expecting fancy cuisine, this isn't the place for you. But if you're like me, and you like an old fashioned, old school eatery, you'll enjoy! read more
