We found parking on the back of the building. Upon walking in, we were a bit confused as to whether they were open or not. But the waitress came out finally and sat us at a nice table. We ordered the regular burger, the black garlic aioli burger and the big kids burger. Ok, I may have been starving- but it was great! The patties were actually made there instead of a frozen supermarket burger. Also the fries were tasty. Overall, far exceeded our expectations!

The service was great! Everyone was kind, friendly and attentive. It felt like visiting a friend's house with the added bonus of a delicious meal. The food selection is great. A unique take on some everyday comfort foods. Between the three of us we had the chicken fried steak omelette, delicious crispy bacon, homemade biscuits served with house made honey butter and jam, and delicious French toast. Pricing is fair, food quality is excellent and portions are generous. We had an overall great experience. This will be our go-to breakfast spot!! A definite must try!!

The portions were generous and I appreciated having the option of a salad as a side in an attempt to counteract the BLT lol. The bacon was thick and perfectly cooked and my husband's pulled pork sandwich was out of this world, I don't know which I liked better! It was very crowded but the staff kept up and food was delivered at a good pace. I will say, there were a ton of kids so it was loud, but that's not shocking during lunch on a weekend.

To make matters worse, the bartender completely disappeared into the back for about 12 minutes. No acknowledgment, no explanation, no "I'll be right with you." When they finally reappeared, they came out wobbling, with an awful demeanor and an overall vibe that was uncomfortable and wildly unprofessional. Absolutely nothing about the interaction resembled hospitality -- or even basic customer service. Between the barren tap list and the strange, unpleasant service, we decided to leave without buying drinks. We won't be back, and we certainly wouldn't recommend anyone go out of their way to visit this desolate establishment. Huge disappointment all around.

My son said it was the best hamburger he's ever had in his entire life and as a 16-year-old he is quite the hamburger connoisseur. The fillet with the béarnaise sauce and the roasted broccolini was absolutely out of this world. The desserts were fresh, flavorful and works of art. We would highly recommend the restaurant inside and outside. Seating is absolutely fantastic.

Service was attentive with regular check-ins, and the ambiance felt warm and welcoming; definitely a good place for kids or a casual meal any time of day. I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time since it's on the smaller side and fills up quickly!

At 7:01, an announcement came on saying the store had been closed for one minute and to head to the register. Totally fair. I needed one more thing from produce so I hurried- another announcement at 7:02 said to "stop shopping- we are closed" I grabbed my last item and went up front. By 7:03, I was already being checked out. And yet the reaction from staff was... unbelievable. There were several employees standing at the front just staring at me--clearly irritated, like I'd personally ruined their evening. It was three minutes past closing. Not 30. Not 15. Three. Then it somehow got worse. They were out of bags (understandable), so I asked if I could use the hand basket to carry my items to my car, which was literally parked right in front of the doors to the store. I was told no, "these baskets cant leave the store"--and that I needed to go outside and get a cart instead. So I had to run out, grab a cart, and come back in... while the entire staff stood there watching me. There must have been 6 or 7 employees glaring at me with dirty looks like I had insulted them personally. The older checker was grumpy and rude, but honestly the whole team contributed to making the experience feel hostile and unwelcoming. I completely understand wanting to close on time. But if ringing someone up at 7:03 feels like a crisis to your staff, that's a management issue--not a customer problem. Also- why not sell reusable bags if you run out of bags so often? I would have bought one to make it faster for me to exit the store. Seems like a simple solution to avoid the extreme stress your staff is experiencing
