    Strawberry yogurt parfait
    Stephanie G.

    Nothing fancy, but for a small cafe, it provided a solid breakfast option. The name is a fun reference to the purported inventor of baseball. It's not a very big space, but we didn't have any issues getting a table. The prices are good, and the service was great. We shared a yogurt parfait that featured a ton of strawberry slices and honeyed granola chunks. They have some combo meals, and the French toast, bacon and eggs were all satisfactory. We got the food quickly as well. It's nothing fancy, but it gave us what we needed: a tasty and reasonably priced breakfast.

    Juicy burger with chips, we also got one with fries, the fries were good.

    Great food, great service. Wasn't expecting anything spectacular but the Cuban sandwich special was phenomenal! Kids got burgers which were excellent. Wife had a creamy chicken soup which was also great. Close walk to HOF, perfect lunch spot before, during, or after a visit. Cool vibe inside with the old school baseball decor. AND for the adults, excellent selection of drafts and spirits at the bar. Check them out.

    This place is so quaint! I came here with my boyfriend (also known as my date in my other reviews) and my date got the goddess sandwich. He says it wasn't bad. I got the butternut squash and bean enchiladas which was absolutely delicious. I also had the Reese's ice cream pie which was overwhelming. Definitely good if you like chocolate and Reese's. The service was speedy and friendly. I would go back here and get the enchiladas again. They have some decent vegetarian options.

    It's a really cute cafe walkable from the HOF. Lots of memorabilia. It was completely full I think little leagues were in town but we were seated right away. It's small inside but quaint. Staff were very nice. Food came out very fast like immediately after getting our drinks. Everything was yummy. Their fries dipped in their honey mustard - delicious. Prices were normal except kids meals I thought too much and doesn't include a drink. $60 for 2 adults and 2 kids.

    This was a great spot for our families and 12U ball players to have lunch. Great food and amazing service. Our waitress Rebecca was superb and loved to talk with us and teaching us the proper names of the local towns. Even entertained us on our weird request for fry sauce. The service and food was so good we went back again on a different day.

    Great place. Very hospitable, have a bunch of TVs and fun baseball memorabilia. Hot chocolates were immediate hits for the kids. Good portions and very delicious food; grilled cheese, bean burrito, chicken enchiladas Save room for the desserts toll house cookie dessert. Devoured it all

    We stopped here for a late lunch after visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame on the recommendation from a docent there. It was a short walk away and we thought it was great! They had several daily specials. Two of us got the burrito off the special - it had a mixture of delicious pulled pork and ground beef in a sun dried tomato wrap. I got the Reuben sandwich with house made corned beef. It was outstanding. We highly recommend this cafe if you are in the area!

    Food was fine but nothing special. The servers were really nice despite it being extremely busy. I'd try something else.

She offered to bring out a couple dipping sauces for our fries, and I asked for the bourbon jelly, which she was willing to do. That initial interaction set a great tone. The food itself was very good--both burgers were delicious. Unfortunately, after we placed our order, the service dropped off completely. We waited about an hour for our food, with no check-ins, no water refills, and no acknowledgment of the delay, even though our server walked past our table multiple times. At one point, I had to get up and find someone to talk to. I asked a man near the front for a manager, explained we had been waiting an hour, and pointed out our table. No one ever came over afterward to follow up. We were later told there was a large party, which is understandable--but that's not something customers or servers can control. A simple check-in or acknowledgment would have made a big difference. Instead, we were told we "should have said something," despite no one coming to the table. At the end, we waited again for the check, and when my daughter calmly tried to explain our frustration, the server spoke over her and said, "I'm almost 50--I've been doing this since I was 17," which came across as rude and unprofessional. The food was good, but the lack of communication, attentiveness, and management involvement made this a disappointing experience.

We arrived before our reservation, and they were unable to seat us much earlier (they did though, we just waited, no problem) and they turned people away, so definitely get a reservation. Inside there is a nice few of the lake. Service was really great. Because we were there at the start of dinner, we had to wait a bit for the bread, but it was worth the wait. Both the soft roll and the fruity bread were so tasty, and the salty butter spread nicely on them. I had the prime rib, which was tender and flavorful, paired with asparagus and a baked potato. He had a NY strip. Both were perfectly cooked. We were so full and satisfied at the end of the meal that we didn't have room for dessert, but we loved the food so much. It's also pretty reasonably-priced for a nice restaurant. Highly recommend!

I had always been scared to go to the Happen Inn, as it's in the basement and one can't see much of it from the street. There aren't a lot of options in Little Falls, so we decided to take a chance and are thrilled that we did. The staff was really friendly and the other people in the bar didn't stare at us (like some local people do). There's a pool table and lots of tv's. It's light enough to not be sketchy, but not too bright. There was also jukebox music playing, but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't hear ourselves talk. They have lots of beer options and cheap prices. The food was also delicious (if cooked on a visible, greasy stove) and inexpensive. We had a steak quesadilla that easily weighed five pounds, full of cheese, steak, fresh mushrooms and griled onions, and a thick burger, topped with onion petals, cheese and sauce. They have daily specials and an interesting bar top. If you have to be in Little Falls, this is the place to go.

It was nice that they had 16 of us in a banquet room, the penalty box. The penalty box was quite spacious for the 16 of us. They had a few tables set up with silverware and popcorn for us. Three of the four tables were great. I really question the last table they set up. It was literally falling apart. It was so unstable. It needed more than just a couple coasters to stabilize the table which they tried doing. Common sense to me is don't use the table but as unstable as the table was, they actually thought it would work. It's quite humorous really, that you thought in the whole process of getting everything set up that in your sober mind it would work. After the whole fiasco of getting the tables rearranged, we finally got our drinks started. After drinks were dropped off, I went ahead and told the servers that we were ready to order. I didn't want to wait any longer. They were gone for long periods of time. With that big of a party that's in the back, you'd think that they would be around more often. For starters we got the giant pretzel to share. For lunch I got the hot honey smothered chicken with extra brocolli subbed for the mashed potatoes. The giant pretzel was very giant. It came with two types of cheese sauces. One was regular nacho type. It had a nice heat to it. The other cheese sauce was topped with bacon. The pretzel itself was not overly salted. It was harder on the outside but soft in the middle. It was plenty for the 5 of us to share. Lunch finally made it's way out. Some adjustments needed to be made since they wasn't enough broccoli for all of us. Our server adjusted two out of the four of us that needed our brocolli subbed. My plate was one of the last to get served. I had to ask my server about my second side since I asked for double brocolli. No other hot vegetable was available so I settled for coleslaw. My chicken was tender. There was a good amount of veggies and cheese on top of it. It was ok, I had a few bites and wasn't all too thrilled about it. The brocolli was roasted and had a nice char on it from the roasting. My son got a side of butter for his brocolli so I added a a little on mine. It was a good addition to it. The coleslaw tasted like store bought so I didn't eat much of it. We started off our dining experience with 2 servers and then ended with 1. Clearly she wasn't equipped to take on a party that big alone. Refills were asked for multiple times. Same with boxes and my husband's slushy. She finally told us that the slushy machine was down after we waited a while for it. She never checked up on us after lunch was dropped off until it was time to close us out. She was gone 85% of the whole time. It was honestly some of the worst service. As a past server, how does one leave a table unattended for that long of a period of time and feel like you deserve 20%? I feel bad that my husband spent his father's day meal here. He does so much for us throughout the year and he had to settle for less than basic food and service. From the table to the lack of service and everything else in between, I would recommend you going somewhere else but here for a meal.
