    Serving Northwood from the fountain

    Service was good. I got the fried chicken, real mashed potatoes, awesome slaw and a nice garlic toast. I was pleased with it all. My husband enjoyed his patty melt.

    Stopped around 8 pm so we ordered pizza. Delicious! Other people eating seemed to really enjoy their food. Good friendly service. Glad we stopped. Very large menu for such a small place. Would be hard to keep it all good.

    Freshly bakex cinnamon roll

    Was looking for a place close by where I could pick up a pizza and return back to the KOA campground quickly. Came across this restaurant via Google. Wow! The pizza was great and so was the Kim's Sunshine Salad. The salad was not skimpy on the chicken or extras. Delicious! Was not planning on purchasing a cinnamon roll, but could not resist (see photo). Fresh baked. Looking forward to breakfast!

We were told as we ordered that they only serve breakfast on Sundays. They took our beverage order quickly and brought the coffee and water equally as quickly. We ordered the Hungry Mans Breakfast (3 eggs, bacon sausage, hash browns and toast) and House Made Hash & Eggs (2 eggs, corned beef has and toast) (same as the past 2 years) - you just don't mess with perfection. We ordered eggs overeasy. They brought us a treat of a small cup of homemade strawberry jam for our thick cut fresh sourdough toast - this was a new addition this year (the jam) and we enjoyed it. Nothing is particularly greasy but everything is cooked to perfection. This is one of those places that just makes the quintessential breakfast (or breakfast for lunch). You will leave feel satisfied and happy. July 2023 Amazing find! Last year we stopped to get brunch as we were starving and there aren't many choices along this stretch of road. We would come here on a regular basis if we could. There are a lot of locals but they are equally as nice to out of towners. So this year on our drive, we remembered their food and made a point to stop for a late breakfast. In particular, we recalled their delicious corn beef hash and ordered it again! We ordered the Hungry Mans Breakfast (3 eggs, bacon sausage, hash browns and toast) and House Made Hash & Eggs (2 eggs, corned beef has and toast) (same as last year). We ordered eggs overeasy. The staff is attentive and ensure your coffee and water cups are full without asking. This is one of those places that just makes the perfect breakfast (or breakfast for lunch). You will leave feel satisfied and happy. Note: while they have picnic tables outside they do not serve food outside.

We got the Il Porco pizza which had Italian sausage and sweet onion on it. We opted to get the Roman crust and it was very flavorful! The downside was it was a long wait to get our food. Like crazy long. We also did not know if we would be served our pizza or if we would have to pick it up inside- it was a bit confusing. We would definitely eat here again as the taste of the pizza and spot along the river was worth the long wait.

It tasted pretty good and the toppings were baked under the cheese. I ordered a water, which was about $3 and in a bottle - not what I expected, but I guess it is very fancy imported water from Italy. They also offered drinks like Olipop and kombucha which might be a little more worth the money. The girl taking our order didn't go out of her way to be friendly but it wasn't a bad experience or anything. I don't believe there was much of a wait before our order, but the pizza was predicted to take 20 minutes to make. The inside is pretty crowded but the picnic tables were cute to sit in. I do think the hours are a little strange, definitely not for early dinner eaters. Overall, it was a cute outdoor dining experience and they did consider gf and vegan pretty well!

We got slices of the mushroom pizza (mushy madness) and a sweet caramelized onion+sausage pizza (Jaime's Bianca). Both were fantastic, came up quickly and made us consider ordering more.

    This New York style pizzeria is located inside Silver Spruce Brewing, which is a fun,…read moreindoor-outdoor venue. Frontage on Eighth Street, but it feels like a neighborhood joint once you are in there. I apologize to Two Sons Pizza, for not writing a five star review, when the pizza was five stars. I mean, we've got The Filling Station for the real thin but still chewy crust. Excellent. Charles and Reid for Detroit style, which is life altering delicious (and I generally hate thick pizza). And Two Sons completed the power triangle with big New York style slices and pies. But what the F happened? They've always had a little bit of that dismissive hipster kind of vibe, where they try to make you feel like you're not important, or possibly not cool enough to enjoy how amazing their pizza is, or was. But now it's like the one or two employees who are there at a time, don't want to be there at all. And that's what the pizza tastes like now The slices used to be massive, like cutting an extra large pizza into six slices. They were priced accordingly, $7-8+, but well worth it. Delicious. Now the pies are old sitting around for hours, and they don't perk up when reheated like they used to. I don't have a problem with proper New York style slices, being reheated, that's part of the tradition. But the attitude I get is, if they aren't slammed busy, they don't care about having fresh food, and you just get what you get. It seems the employees don't care, they are like robots now, and unhappy robots at that. They've got the NY magic and the special sauce, they just aren't using it anymore. Maybe the chef quit, maybe it got sold, I have no idea. The last slice I had, I threw it in the garbage, and went to Toby's dog house, the hot dog trailer outside. But it was closed on a day it was supposed to be open. The guy behind the bar at Silver Spruce brewing has the same dismissive/dumb attitude. I wouldn't be surprised if all three places closed after summer 2026 ** since they are capable of making a good New York style pie, at least in theory now, just order a whole pizza. That way, it will be fresh. The slice game is dead there. **
