They are clearly creating an environment meant for the whole family. They are truly catering to the community. They have good happy hour specials and we were told kids (I think under 12) eat free on Sundays, and I can say we will definitely go back with the small human. Like I said, the menu is a little all over the place. It's definitely meant for comfort, but it was kind of hard to tell what direction it was meant to be. We got cocktails and they were great. Definitely had a southern, down home kind of vibe. We started with the nachos and soup of the day which was New England clam chowder. Both apps were great. The soup was really hearty. It's not always my favorite because when not done well, I really don't like it, but their New England clam chowder was truly exceptional. Nachos were loaded up and really good. For mains we got the BBQ duo of chicken breast and ribs. The chicken really was just chicken breast with bbq sauce on it, so nothing special but at least cooked well. The ribs were tender. We also got rigatoni rustico, which sounded more interesting than it was (it had a creamy Dijon sauce, which is what prompted us to order it, but the Dijon was hard to taste). That being said, it was still very nice. Overall, the menu was a little all over the place. It might be better if they picked a direction (definitely seemed geared more southern) and focused on whittling down the menu. If I could give half stars, I would give them a 4.5, but I'm rounding up to a 5 for exceptional service and a great vibe for the entire family. They're really aiming to serve their community and I love that.

The gentleman sitting next to me said is that really your name, I said yes. He replied, so tell me about Waterloo. I said really. Okay! I used to drive trucks for Werner Enterprise and I was in Waterloo NY in a snow storm, my truck broke down and I felt defeated. He laugh hysterically! I ordered a small stack of pancakes and sausage links. I also gave (one of the owners named) Lucy, the Napoleon pastry that I purchased. Yes she loves us, I mean the pastry. Pro tip, pancakes are good with sausage and you can do a la carte! A working improvement is the curtains to block the cold air. So don't sit near the door.

My sister and I ordered food, before anyone else came into the restaurant. My latte came in a soup bowl. I could barely pick it up. We ordered the pancakes and eggs.

They have several tables in the front and additional seating in the back. Our waiter was very kind and accommodating. To drink, I had a mocktail. I was worried it would be too sweet because it included sprite and cranberry juice, but it was actually very pleasant and bursting with flavor. For my main, I had the frittata. It was tasty. Some of the broccoli rabe was a little tough to chew, but not too bad. It was topped with a generous portion of cheese. I loved the tender mushrooms. My husband got the cozze. The portion of mussels was large and he enjoyed the sauce. We also shared the cinnamon french toast, which was delicious. It didn't even need syrup as it was perfectly sweet with the cream and berries on top. Even so, they had several syrups to choose from including amber and maple. Looking forward to coming back to try the dinner menu.

I am a little torn on what rating to give Jill's and wish I could give 3.5 because while I think a…read more3 is a little low, I don't think a 4 is the right rating. I also want to preface this by saying that I think this place is a solid choice and it is not a bad place to grab a bite or a drink. I have been a couple of times now. While I would go back again, I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. The ambience is good. It's a nice space and it does have space for both larger and smaller groups. The wait staff is also very nice and I have zero issue with them. The food is good enough, although not spectacular. They are definitely going for a high end bar/brunch/dinner spot. A step up from a local pub, a little bit more of a shine/elegance to them. The vibe is actually great for a larger group. The most recent time we went, our table got steak nachos, a burger, the sweet potato and rice bowl (with shrimp added), and a steak sandwich. The steak sandwich was reportedly really good (I didn't try it) and looked nice. The nachos were fine, not great. Didn't feel like there was enough cheese, but the steak on it was actually really nice. The rice bowl was really not exciting. There was nothing elevated or nuanced about it. The shrimp was the best part and was beautifully cooked and seasoned, but that was an add on and I would have been disappointed with it if not for the addition of the shrimp (which then made the bowl over $25). We ordered the burger medium rare, and it came very well done. To be fair, when we mentioned it to the server, she took it off of the bill, which we appreciated. Overall, I would say the food is hit or miss. Most of our proteins were cooked very nicely and with good flavor, but the other parts of the meal were just fine, not great. The price point is such that I expect a little more for what I am paying. That being said, the staff is nice and the ambience is good, so for a quick and easy meal, it's worth it if you are in the area.

The food was overpriced for quite small portions-- significantly more expensive than comparable places in Manhattan. Furthermore, the food was bland. So bland that I asked my friends if I was just congested or was it actually that flavorless. The matcha lemonade was watery, slightly sweet and tart. The turkey egg and cheese ($12.50 on card btw) was dry and similarly mild. Many of the greens in the side salad were wilted and it tasted like it was dressed with salt water. On top of all that, the service was very slow. Overall, disappointing and not worth the high price.

What a great find!…read more We were in the area and wanted to find a place to sit down for a quiet low key dinner. Read the reviews and now have found a "go to" worth a short drive. We had the ribs, salmon, and skirt steak. All cooked in a smoker which added to the flavor perfectly. Each were cooked well... not dry but deliciously moist. Try the Brussels sprouts! Yummy. By the way... the appetizers were terrific. Their wings must be a hidden gem. I don't understand why more people don't go there just for that alone. The sauces were amazing and they weren't those scrawny little ones but meaty. For a small place it really is terrific. Oh yeah... almost forgot to mention... great coffee!
