I had the spaghetti and meatballs and my wife had the lasagna. Neither of us were disappointed, portion sizes weren't too big or small and every meal comes with complementary bread and oil. The wine selection is also quite extensive and we recommend the Moscato. Service was a little European, meaning it was a little slow, but the food is well worth the wait! We also recommend taking a cannoli or two to go! You can thank me later!

Not the fastest service but not too bad. Then you have to pay at the gas station side after you eat. I found the brisket to be very good but it did not have a smoke flavor which was disappointing. The sausage was good. The coleslaw a bit too sweet for me. My total was $12 for not bad at all for bar b q. The staff even figured out it was cheaper for me to pay for the 2 meat plate and get a side than just meat Alavert. Very nice of them. Overall there are limited places for lunch in Stockdale and I would eat here again. Will try a few other places and review next month when I am back.

The food, which in my case was a hamburger was absolutely wonderful. The french fries were equally well done. The portions are generous and given how busy the restaurant is it was very well prepared. Again, given how busy this particular restaurant is the service is amazingly efficient, and the staff is very nice. Although I would suggest it is not a place you would necessarily want to come to relative to its ambience on the other hand you would miss a wonderful meal if you did not. In my case I chose the meal over the ambience and it was well worth it and that is the reason I give it five stars.

Had the Melt Down with onion rings and the melt was not greasy at all, and included the grilled onion and a huge patty. It was a bit bland though which was the only thing I can say that could be improved upon. The onion rings were obligingly crunchy and tasty.

But by the time my friend arrived about 1:10 the line had disappeared and the crowd was quickly thinning out. I had the farmhouse club and my friend went with a salad (I forget which one). My sandwich was absolutely delicious and I cleaned it up. His salad was enormous and he couldn't finish it. He had enough leftover to take home for another meal. Neither came with a side but they are available for purchase. The restaurant is bright and cheerful inside with plenty of seating. And the staff are very friendly and eager to assist throughout the meal. The only downside is their prices being a little high for the type of setting so one star off. I will probably return anyway for the delicious sandwich. But I wish it came with chips!

The space…read morehas been through several different restaurants over the years, including Oakmont Cafe and Doc's. I've been for both lunch and dinner, and lunch is clearly the peak time, which makes sense given the sandwich, salad, and soup menu. It feels built for the midday lunch crowd. The kitchen runs very efficiently, the line moves quickly, and online ordering is very easy. It's counter service, but I've taken meals to go a few times and everything traveled well. As of February 2026, it still has that brand new restaurant feel. The interior is bright, clean, and modern, and there's a ton of outdoor seating. However, you are just off 38th Street and across from the Seton medical complex, so al fresco dining may not be the quietest experience depending on traffic and time of day. Overall, a great addition to the area for lunch (or dinner).

You can tell they put real care into every detail, from the perfectly pulled espresso to the friendly conversation at the counter. It's the kind of place you think about long after you leave, and honestly, worth going out of your way for. One last note, it's a drive thru place only.

We made reservations in advance (there is a $5 per person reservation fee), and the flyer advertised hours from 10am-2pm. However, when we arrived just before 11am, the restaurant was still closed. After checking in about our reservation, we were eventually seated and able to order drinks, which were brought out promptly. The buffet itself wasn't ready until around 11:45am, which was a bit of a wait, but once it opened, the food did not disappoint. There was a good variety of options, with the shredded pork and creamy garlic chicken being the standout dishes--both were absolutely delicious. The coffee was also strong and flavorful, which I appreciated. The restaurant has a warm, rustic feel, though parking is limited to street parking only. The staff seemed a bit disorganized and confused at times, but they were friendly throughout the experience. My only suggestion would be to offer a way to toast bread and bagels, or at least make that option more visible to guests. Overall, the quality of the food was solid, and despite a few hiccups with timing and organization, I'd be open to coming back and trying their buffet again.

What a pleasant surprise, it's restaurant week here in town. We decided to try their menu and also grab a Cubano while we're there. We started with the shrimp and the tapas.

The tacos were delicious. So many incredible flavors. Now for the reason we came. The Cubano! A soft bread, toasted to perfection with the right amount of meat, cheese, mustard, and pickles.
