Service was initially slow, our server was gabbing with another table for a while. But once she realized we were her table, things picked up. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It's that industrial chicken salad with only celery and the meat is pulverized into a paste. Very bland. The potato salad is reportedly homemade, but also very smooth and strong mustard flavor. Not great. The turkey bacon melt was a bit better. The grilled sourdough bread on both sandwiches was really good. And the pasta salad had a nice vinegar tang. It was actually really good. We found free parking about a block off the circle. Fairly quick in and out as we were driving through, so that was a plus.

We read that the chicken and waffles were good...no the chicken and waffles are AMAZING!! I got mine with gravy and my hubby got his with syrup. The waffles have caramelized sugar baked in so they are more sweet than usual so the gravy was to die for with it. I recommend asking for extra gravy because you definitely need more than comes with it. My son got pancakes and they are huge and he says they are delicious as well. The staff is very kind and sweet. There's a drive thru as well that was hoppin' which also serves breakfast and drinks

I was interested in trying their baked treats, and upon my visit, I found exactly what I wanted to get. The menu variety was good. They offer cookies, pastries, breakfast meals, lunch meals like sandwiches, etc. The pricing was reasonable. I got a Pink Cookie (Southern IL specialty), a Chocolate Chunk Walnut cookie, a Date Walnut cookie, something called an Orange Chipper (a type of cookie), as well as an Italian sandwich (called Bakery Sub on the menu). The Date Walnut cookie was my top favorite. It was soft and also crunchy where the walnuts were. The Orange Chipper was my next favorite, followed by the Pink Cookie (iced frosting shortbread cookie). The sandwich was loaded and had a good flavor. The deli meats (ham, and salami) were fresh. The service was good. This was a gem of a find for me and I would go back there again when visiting Carbondale. Definitely recommended.

My favorite was the crimson eclipse. Food- 3/5. We ordered some appetizers and they were a little disappointing/did not match the description of the menu. The margarita pizza was a little spicy. Fruit and cheese plate had some nice jam, but the presentation was off. Crab cakes were small. Also, the menu on their website was slightly outdated. I would still recommend this location as it's very classy, great for groups, and plenty of parking. Service was excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating.

We ordered appetizers a calzone ( burnt in on end, blackened on the bottom -bitter tasting) and a sandwich ( warm, chips oily and soggy). It seems like there are only 2-3 staff working on a graduation / Mother's Day weekend ???? Service was slow but these folks were clearly overwhelmed. They were polite and apologetic for the food preparation time. There were very few folks there so they weren't slammed busy and overwhelmed, just overwhelmed. We likely won't be back. $325 Dinner and drinks bill and any chain place with mid quality drinks and food ( Chilis, Applebee's, Cheddars, ) would be 1/2 the cost and clearly better. An upscale place ( Flame, Texas Roadhouse, Outback) would be a way bether choice for comparable money. The Venue is stunning and looks clean. Hopefully they get it together, or get someone in the space who can. Disappointed at best.

The waitress came to our table to take our order and my girlfriend and I wanted to get a few mimosas. My ID expired less than 2 weeks ago and so I showed my FOID card (also a state recognized ID) and the lady was very rude about it. Fine no alcohol for me a grown adult who is 30 years old. Then the waitress each time she comes to the table makes little comments which eventually cause my girlfriend to cry. As I go to pay I decide I want to talk to a manager so I go up front to pay and as I try to ask the lady at the front for a manager the waitress pushes her aside and tells her it's her table and she'll "deal" with me. As I'm paying she decides to make a few more petty comments about how I should have brought an unexpired ID. I can't actually believe that now my girlfriend's favorite cafe is a place she's said she doesn't want to go again and I agree with her. We went on 11/28/25 at about 11-11:30 and sat at table 12. We had the blonde girl as the waitress.
