The vintage diner feel was cozy, and the Coca-Cola light fixtures were unique. Each table also had its own vintage jukebox. We came on a busy Sunday morning, but got lucky and were sat right away. From the beginning, and throughout our experience, the staff were very friendly. Our sever brought us drinks within minutes, and we were able to put in our orders pretty quick. Like I said, it was a busy Sunday, so it took awhile for us to receive our food. But this gave my wife and I time to talk, and enjoy the ambiance. I ordered the breakfast lasagna (had never seen this before) with white toast and a side of corned beef hash. When the food came out, it was warm and fresh. The breakfast lasagna had a nice flavor from the peppers and onions and meats that were baked inside. The base was made from what seemed like mashed potatoes which threw me off a little, but wasn't bad. The toast had a good toast to it, and was nicely buttered. I am a corned beef hash lover, and Shorty's was pretty good! The flavors meshed well together and the texture was great. My wife ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits which was not great. The sausage gravy was lacking flavor, with the main taste being cream. The sausage within the gravy was cut up sausage links, and for myself and my wife at least, we prefer ground sausage. Lastly, the biscuits were nothing to write home about. They were not bad but they didn't wow. Overall, I gave Shorty's a three because the food didn't wow me. There was not anything wrong with the food we had at all, and we will probably be back in the future to try some of their other food. Otherwise, my wife and I also loved the feel of the diner itself.

Before you even open the door, the vintage neon sign proudly advertising "Air Conditioned for Your Comfort" makes you smile and reminds you of an era when air conditioning was a luxury worth bragging about. Inside, the restaurant has done a wonderful job preserving its history. The original pressed tin ceiling, beautiful woodwork, mosaic tile floor, vintage lighting, and classic booths create an atmosphere that is difficult to find anymore. You can tell this isn't a place trying to look old--it is old, and it has been lovingly maintained. If you appreciate historic architecture, take a few minutes to look around. It's worth it. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. My daughter enjoyed her eggs, sausage, and toast, while I had a bacon, egg, and bacon sandwich on toast with mayonnaise, along with a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee. Everything was fresh and satisfying. My only minor suggestion would be that I would have liked my toast a little more done, especially since my daughter's was toasted just the way I prefer. It certainly wasn't enough to take away from the experience. The Crystal Restaurant has been serving the Watertown community since 1925, and it's easy to understand why it has become such a local landmark. Places with this much history and character are becoming increasingly rare. If you're looking for a good breakfast served in a restaurant with genuine historic charm, the Crystal Restaurant is well worth a visit.

The boys were lobbying hard for Tully's, but I convinced them to give this fried chicken sandwich spot a chance. Happy to report that there was not a single complaint while dining here. Choosing a sandwich was the hardest part. I went with The Competition: pimento cheese and hot honey, which complemented each other so well. The fried chicken itself was juicy inside with a crispy seasoned coating. It wasn't greasy and had just the right amount of spices. My one son stepped outside his comfort zone and ordered the Roll Tide with Alabama bbq sauce and dill pickles. So thankful he was willing to share; it was excellent. My favorite part? Upgrading to the sweet waffle fries. I've had plenty of sweet potato fries before, but never ones tossed in sea salt. Absolutely enjoyed the salty-sweet combo. By the end of the meal, three hungry 11-year-old boys and one indecisive mom had completely cleaned their plates. Would definitely come back.

They often9/30 have new products so I don't get board. Their sit down restaurant is top notch with hot and cold choices. And soups are super.

The reviews on YELP were positive for The Mustard Seed, so we had to check it out for ourselves. First impression was that I LOVED the smell of the store. It smelled like patchouli, sandalwood, and palo santo. I liked the variety of vitamins and other natural products in the store, including their selection of spices and herbs. The cafe is located in the back with seating inside and outside. My husband ordered the Harvest Salad and a soup and I had the Tuna Salad on a wrap with soup. Both of our meals were excellent and what we wanted for a healthy lunch. The Thai soup was flavorful and delicious, the tuna salad was light and fresh, and the harvest salad was fresh and the mix of the Gorgonzola cheese with the apples was very good. Highly recommend if you're passing through this area!

For many of us we come for what it evokes and others are experiencing it for the first time. Reminicing is just an added value and it comes for free.

We love to try out new places so we chose it. No regrets here - first of the product, ice cream was the best I have had to date, really yummy, second very kid friendly place - toys, kid books, little tool set, small picnic table for littles. Owner very pleasant and friendly. Tried to accommodate our picky toddlers and provided them with a ball to play. Such a relaxed environment, it was very easy to enjoy icecream, while our kids played and went back and forth between grabbing a mouthful of icecream and going back to play. Place radiated with positive atmosphere and relaxed demeanor, just loved everything about it. No stress just icecream and fun! If you are in the area give this place a chance. Oh and they offer other treats like chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels, rice crispies and thos place has a promise of smoothies, I am personally looking forward to that too. I had full intention of taking photos of my ice cream and kids having fun but I was too busy enjoying both. I'll have to co.e back with my real camera next time and take photos.
