    Great food great service. Got the Wick Omelette, Wick Breakfast, biscuits and gravy and French toast and it was all delicious!

    This place is a great little lunch/breakfast spot. It's a little hole in the wall with super nice and friendly staff and the breakfast specials on the weekends are worth the wait (if it's busy). Our second favorite dish is the Wick Breakfast! Would definitely recommend.

    Cute interior

    Had lunch here today, the place was full but still had 1-2 tables free at any given time. The wait staff is so friendly and I'm pretty sure the owner is on site--he greeted us to make sure our food is good. I had a BLT sandwich with fries, they gave generous portions and tasted very "down home" diner style which I like. The decor is warm and inviting. My phone died so I only got pics of the interior and not the food but they serve all-American classic breakfast dishes and a sandwich/soup/salad lunch. The place was packed with locals chatting and hugging the entire time. Lovely place in a town that really needs a cafe like this. Will be back for breakfast next time!

My usual go-to is a burger w fries, and TRTAH does a great job w them, but opted today for a steak sandwich w carmelized onions, green peppers, and cheese on Italian bread (you can also get it w pizza dough, calzone style). BB had a pastrami on rye. Both came w French fries. My hero (grinder to you locals) was mouthwatering. The bread was lightly toasted and perfect. Everything else was melded together. My taste buds did a happy dance! BB said the pastrami was very lean. French fries are hand cut, and salted perfectly. One suggestion...if you have high blood pressure, get them unsalted from the kitchen, and salt (or not) to your heart's content. I think I have a new go-to. 5 yummmmmy stars

    Came here after a day of kayaking and we were in pretty quick for a Friday night…read more We ordered the rodeo burger with hot garlic wings with a spicy margarita. Everything was very good. The rodeo burger has bbq sauce, French fried onions and bacon topped with cheddar cheese. The fries were my least favorite. A little soggy and over cooked. The hot garlic wings were good. The wings were decent size, not those skimpy small wings. The spicy margarita was okay. It tasted a little watery. Service was okay, but we found ourselves waiting a while (last customers on deck) and had to go inside to pay when we wanted to leave.

Maybe a little salty, but honestly so am I when I think about all the overcooked shrimp I've paid for. These scrimps were perfectly cooked. Like. PERFECTLY cooked. Snappy. Scrumptious. I threw in the mac and cheese as a test, since it's usually where restaurants get lazy. But when my eyes met the cavatappi... good night. Creamy, rich, ooey gooey, with noodles standing strong against the reputation of bland mush. Cheese clung to every curve like a last desperate embrace. Not an ounce of mush. Casting the right noodle for the role is too often an overlooked detail. And oh the crunch on that chicken! Juicy, crispy, seasoned with ruthless precision. That's the kind of chicken that brings you right back. It's ready to recruit you. No wonder it's the mascot. Sign me up. I got a little ginger lime situation from the fridge. A brand called Something & Nothing. How tantalized am I by an undiscovered thing? Very. From the nod to nihilism to the contents of delight, I'm here for it. I definitely appreciate the rare beverage finds amidst the usual suspects. And the space itself? Greenery softening the edges, decor that disarms you, hospitality that feels too warm to be accidental. It's all part of the design. I am Jack's complete lack of disappointment. They're doing it. And I will be talking about it.

The vibes inside are immaculate. I was kind of nervous coming to a new coffee shop, and the coffee was going to be "the same". I thought wrong; It is delicious! 10/10 The staff is very courteous & friendly as well. I recommend this place. On the GPS it says it's "on the right" if you're coming from the CT side, but it's on the left around the sharp bend. This place comes up quick. Parking is decent, you won't have to try finding a spot for hours like city coffee shops. (I always worry about finding places to park my truck). If you're looking for a new coffee shop to try out, I suggest trying out Drift Cafe. Laid back, music is great. There is also outside seating for a beautiful lakeside view too!
