    Breakfast menu
    Tracy D.

    A solid breakfast joint. Friendly staff. Service was fast and impeccable. Their pancakes are light, fluffy, and tasty! Eggs are fresh and cooked to your liking. My husband ordered their corned beef hash and enjoyed it. Someone in our party ordered the chorizo, which was more of an Americanized version of chorizo so I would not get that again. The interior of the cafe is quaint and a throw back in time to a point it feels real, as if I will see people walk in dressed in a different era. This is something you don't get often enough these days as most restaurants are remodeled and modern.

    The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. It is a local place everyone there is from town. Everyone was very kind and nice to all of us. There cinnamon bun was the best. Will definitely we will comeback when in Medford.

Bunch of people working there and maybe 10-12 tables along one side. So many choices to pick from, I got the Jose Mendoza which had green chilies and bacon and Jack cheese. It was a great burger especially with the added house sauce. The fries were cooked really well. Super crispy and flavorful, and I got two sauces. Their house sauce and a spicy garlic sauce that was amazing! They have packets of vinegar for your fries also. Yum! Totally recommend this place.

The onion rings had thick greasy batter and fried in much used oil with too hot temperature and wrong mix of batter that leaves lingering greasy taste. The fries were served thick but soggy. The hamburger was small and meager meat with combined soggy soulless premade chopped onions and not too fresh lettuce and tomato. The buns were ok. Overall solid three stars for the effort and creativity in the menu offering. I was hoping for thick freshly made hamburger patties with fresh whole raw onions and crispy fries. Maybe next time.

The menu was simple and basic but offered some creative options. Prices were about average for the area, but sadly the portions were a bit off. Outdoor seating, order at the bar inside, get your own water, buss your own table and minimal service, yet tip up front at time of ordering, lol. Still had a good 1st time and was glad to see they had cornhole set up, decent gear!... Unfortunately no mini golf like Schoolhaus Brewhaus use to offer. They had a solid beer selection and variety of the most popular brews. High hopes this spot works out for them and they can revive the old Schoolhaus Brewhaus atmosphere that was loved by all of Southern Oregon.

I'm not a big drink person but this beer was hands down a favorite. Got the Spicy Rooster too which was just as good. Their house rootbeer Rogue Rootbeer was unlike anything we've tasted before. It was clearly a labor of love brought to perfection. The prawns were good and the Valley View Viognier- hands down the best wine we've ever had. We got the kids chicken and the kids grilled cheese and they had zero complaints. I'd also like to note that the fries were everything a French fry should be. Beyond crispy and the perfect width. Not too thick not too skinny. They had Jack Johnson Station playing on Spotify and it was all the right vibes. Feel good, chill, happy tunes set the night right. The atmosphere was amazing. Perfect weather, sitting under the trees lit with Edison lights. We found out this might be a temporary restaurant and we really hope that's not the case. We come to Jacksonville from around San Francisco once a year. This place will be occupying my mind and I know I'll miss it terribly. I would be really sad if it wasn't here in the future. Everyone was friendly and I can see this place really shining bright if more people knew about it. Hope this new business grows into a full blown restaurant and still uses the patio because it was such a great experience.

It was delicious! Fresh salmon, tangy coating and earthy, buttery asparagus. The Yukon gold mashed potatoes were crispy, salty and savory- great starch addition to the meal. My friends got the shoestring fries, steak bites, and bbq platter. Everything was delicious! My favorite of what they god being the BBQ ends with the Mac & cheese with breadcrumbs. So creamy and satisfying. The barbecue was juicy, saucy and tender. The service was fabulous. Tanishia M took care of us nicely. She was attentive, kind and conversational, made the experience even better!

What I remember most is how nice the place looked -- it has a fun mix of modern and rustic decor and very clean restrooms! My husband and I ordered the shareable mac and cheese along with two entrees, the Green Goddess salad and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with tater tots. The portion sizes were very generous. I appreciated that they gave us two small plates to split the mac and cheese, and by the time we got to our entrees, we were already getting a little full! For the salad, I really appreciated how well-seasoned and prepared the tofu was. The tofu had a nice light, crisp coating and was flavorful, and the salad had a nice mix of crunchy cucumbers and lettuce mixed with sliced grape tomatos, feta, and red onions. The salad was not over-dressed and made it easy to take home leftovers. My husband also enjoyed his sandwich, being the second time he has ordered it. The chicken is crispy and well-seasoned. I especially liked the tater tots -- no greasiness and just the right amount of salt. Our waitress was super sweet and kind checking up on us as well. Highly recommend and definitely a place I would come back to on our annual Medford family visits!
