My mom's favorite is the Short Rib Grilled Cheese, which she always enjoys. The french fries are also really good! They also give you chips as a free side, and they were so yummy and perfectly salty! Last time we visited, we sat at the bar and had a great experience. The service was attentive, the atmosphere was nice, and of course the food did not disappoint.

I tend to go for the Huevos Rancheros, the breakfast tacos, which are absolutely delicious and definitely the kind of breakfast that makes you need a nap afterwards. I usually pair them with the fruit or the home fries, which are delicious as well. My boyfriend ordered the Ranchero Scrambler and really enjoyed it and said he would definitely order it again. I've also tried the breakfast burrito, which is MASSIVE and honestly great to share with someone! We typically sit outside and love the view of the main street. You can also sit closer to the entrance area, which is pretty, and sometimes they even have a live band or singer out there which really adds to the atmosphere. Will be back for more yummy breakfast tacos!

The Neighborhood Cafe is on our regular weekend rotation for breakfast, and we go at least once a…read moremonth. We appreciate their creative menu, with unique options that you can't find anywhere else. We usually go before 9am on a Saturday, when they aren't as busy. And our usual server, Makel, is always on top of everything, even if he is the only one serving tables at that time. We rotate between our favorites - 1. I like their quiches, breakfast enchiladas, and the two-egg plate. 2. My husband likes their Ranchero Scramble, breakfast enchiladas, and breakfast burrito. I'm usually disappointed with how restaurants cook scrambled eggs with cheese, but the chef at Neighborhood Cafe knows how to do it right. The eggs are never overcooked, and the cheese is always melted throughout. He sets the standard for how scrambled eggs should be made! I'll often rotate sides, but lately I've been having a half avocado with the eggs. The avocado is ALWAYS fresh and never brown. Other times, I'll get a salad or fruit. I appreciate that they have so many side options. If they have a quiche that I like (no asiago or goat cheese for me), I'll have the quiche entree. They serve that dish with two sides, and I always get the salad and fruit. Their dressings are homemade, and are so good! My husband's current favorite is the Ranchero Scramble. He adds their homemade red chili sauce (the one they serve on top of the breakfast burrito), and we both use it. It's amazing on the scrambled eggs, too! Their portions are large, their coffee is good and strong, and service is always so fast. We love Neighborhood Cafe!

You walk right into a very stylish bar and along with the wood decor, high ceilings and tall windows one is stuck with the overall warm snd inviting ambiance. Our server Chloe was outstanding. Welcoming, outgoing, conversational, knowledgeable with the menu, and attentive Chloe made the evening even more enjoyable for us. Started with the roasted brussel sprouts and General Taos Cauliflower appetizers both of which I'd highly recommend. The scallops esquites ( served over a Mexican street corn medley) dry aged NY strip, filet mignon served with roasted carrots and both truffle garlic fries and hand cut fries and lobster tail were outstanding. Beef dishes were cooked to perfection though light on seasonings shine the scallops were tender and flavorful.

Welcome to the Serve, the Cornelius answer to how to be active while enjoying good times with friends. Reserve one of their 10 pickleball court in their air conditioned room or grab one outside when it's not hot. There are also golf simulators, dining space, and event space so bring the whole crew to have fun and hang out. The courts are spaced out so groups can play and have a comfortable booth to sit and order food. Their bartender Krista was very engaging and happy to suggest a beverage with your favorite libation. We ate in the restaurant. My son enjoyed the kids chicken tenders. My wife and I enjoyed the short ribs grilled cheese and the bbq chicken pizza. There's a full breakfast and lunch menu and breakfast is available till 2 on Saturday so you have a variety of options to order. If you want to hang out as a family or with friends you'll have a great time at The Serve.

This was our first time here, and it's a very nice venue. To start, their coffee is delicious and strong. I had the Double Up, with scrambled eggs (with added cheddar), bacon, sausage links, sourdough toast, and fruit. My husband had the Short Rib Hash with a side of potatoes. He forgot the hash also had potatoes, and should have gotten something else, because he had far too many potatoes! My scrambled eggs were a little over cooked and the cheese was only melted on top (rather than being mixed in), but they were still decent. The bacon was perfectly crispy--as requested, and the sausage links were fine. The sourdough toast was buttered and delicious. And the fruit had watermelon--a nice addition to the usual fruit cup. My husband's short rib hash was good. The eggs were perfectly medium, but the potatoes were a bit salty. Easy Like Sunday still makes our favorite version of this dish. Our server was very pleasant, and the wait wasn't too long for our food. I loved that we could pay with ApplePay via the Toast handheld. While everything wasn't perfect, we'll definitely return and try some different items. I want to try them for dinner, too!

We've also had Tim, who was very attentive, and made great drinks. The ambiance is always wonderful. We usually sit at the outside bar, which we love, but we've sat inside a few times too and enjoyed it just as much. The food is consistently delicious! My mom and I are obsessed with the kale and goat cheese salad, and one of our favorite combinations is splitting that with the Sunday Night Lasagna. Sharing a salad and an entrée is the perfect amount of food for us. On our recent visit, my mom ordered the Pig Pizza, one of her go-to dishes, while I tried the braised short rib lumache. Both were delicious! Def one of my favorite places in Birkdale!

Once we received our entree's, we began eating and it was great, I didn't know mines would be spicy, but other than that it was amazing!

I tried the corn beef hash and while it was described as house made, I would venture to guess it's actually high-quality store-bought, corned beef, finally minced and seasoned with the potatoes even so it was very good! The grits were really creamy although you can tell they're cooked with chicken broth rather than heavy cream, which is the traditional southern way. It is a bit small inside maybe 10 tables total but they have a nice patio in front that's fairly expensive. I would definitely return as a regular to this establishment. Thanks for a great dining experience!

I ordered the Iced Cinnamon Biscuit. My husband ordered the Five & Dime with a side of tots. The cashier was super nice and was the one that helped me pick what to order. Once we ordered, they gave us a number to put at the table so they could deliver the food. It took about 12 minutes from order to delivery of said food. The Iced Cinnamon Biscuit was a great choice. It basically tasted like a cinnamon roll, but substitute the roll part to be a biscuit. I also tried some of my husband's tots and they had the perfect crunch. There are a few big tables inside where it's easy to share with others. They also had outdoor seating too. The only off putting thing was water was dripping from the ceiling all over the restaurant when I was there. There were no signs about the water, but every now and then a drop would fall on someone unsuspecting or the floor. They really need to get that looked at. The parking lot is an L-shaped so be careful parking towards the end as it is closed off so it can be tough to turn around.

I ordered and picked up, everyone was nice at pick up. I had to go with the famous food Network sandwhich, The squawking goat. This was a biscuit with perfectly seasoned fried chicken, topped with fried goat cheese and pepper jelly! Every bite was delicious. The fried goat cheese was fried perfect and when you bite into it, it oozed out. I loved the pepper jelly as well, it leaned more on the sweeter side but I didn't mind it all. We also tried the chicken waffles. Again very good. The waffle was seasoned nicely. I personally like my waffles harder, but could of been the drive back to house that softened it up. But the flavor was on point so was okay with it. The chicken like in my biscuit was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Tried their churro(iced) latte. Loved it, my mind was set on a super sweet drink BUT this was not at all, was a perfect blend and balance. We got a side of crispy potatoes, weren't a fan of these, no flavor and not really that crispy. But by time we ate everything else the potatoes were an after thought. That be the only thing I wouldn't order again.
