    The little diner was a perfect stop for a quick morning breakfast. The service was incredibly fast. Food was great.

    This could become my new go to place for a local breakfast spot!!! Nice clean neat friendly. Food was on point!!! I had the egg white omelette with veggies with a side of turkey sausage!!! I love small business diners. They even have service at the counter. If your not a fan of corporate restaurants and you like supporting the little guy come try this place out!!

    Eggs, bacon, and a English muffin.

    This is a cool little place. Reasonably priced. The waitress work their tails off. We had two kids and two adults. Nobody had any issues with their food. Everyone enjoyed it. We are only here for a few days but will be back tomorrow morning.

    I love the environment they've created almost just as much as I loved their food!! It was cooked in a timely manner and it hit the spot! They also have a really cool saltwater fish tank and amazing apple pie. And to top it off the cook and staff were extremely friendly and kind hearted

    Awesome place that encourages individuality among their employees, WORTH IT to check them out for that reason alone! Food must be great; place was packed to the rafters and I sat at the counter as a result. Menu seems large and varied; prices are outstandingly cheap. This place is tiny and right on the corner, ez to whip by if you arent scanning for it. Gps wont help, just keep your eyes open and be ready to slam on the brakes when you see it.

    Hair on coffee
    Jesse E.

    To start I got an ice coffee and after a few months they brought it out (by that time my body had already begun to Decay) I was woken when the waitress set the coffee down on the table and began to make jokes that made me wonder what type of crack they had in the back (The screaming from the back was a little off setting too) after taking a look at my Iced coffee I could quickly till the cup was dirty (I ignored this because it's a back street diner that probably sells drugs) I almost put the coffee to my lips and I saw a hair I was in shock. After getting a new coffee and tasting it, I was horrified! I just wonder how that they made coffee taste like not coffee, Over all it was pretty watered down, there was ice in the coffee but still there was the slight taste off coffee (As if someone explained what coffee was to someone who had never had it and that person made coffee with there mind) WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY IS THAT THE COFFEE WAS BAD! Over all a pretty bad experience I probably wouldn't go here again unless I was held at gunpoint and I would probably rather eat the gun then the horrible burnt dry bacon. Just probably wouldn't recommend this to anyone I know because I fell like they might come for me if I told them to eat here... also the eggs Benedict looked kinda unsafe...

    This place seemed pretty divey, but the service was impeccable. Many servers were stopping by to fill up coffee and to make sure we had everything. The food was a little greasy, and I wasn't the biggest fan of the hash browns as they seemed to be straight of a bag, but I would recommend if you're looking for an inexpensive breakfast joint!

    For being fresh the food wasn't very fresh and my raisin toast was burnt. Not happy, only good thing I got was the caramel frappe.

    It's a good-old fashioned diner with delicious, well-priced food. I can't really think of a stronger recommendation.

    Haven't been to Stone Arch for some time. We were greeted and seated immediately. Server came to…read moretake our drink order. Service was excellent by Kasandra. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was haddock and very light breading. Excellent. Another person ordered the Miso Salmon that was done perfectly. Our server checked on us a few times (love that). She kept our drinks full. Very happy with food and service.

    We had an amazing experience at Stone Arch! The venue, which is an old stone building, is charming…read moreand cool. They have an upstairs tap room, an arcade, and a bar and restaurant downstairs. The service was all-around incredible. The employees were warm, friendly, and professional, and they seemed to know exactly how often to check in without interrupting our meal. They spaced out our drinks, appetizers, and entrees just the right amount. Our server Andrew was particularly great. We had a soda flight of their craft sodas for a super super reasonable price, and every single soda was spectacular. We're spoiled in the craft soda department by virtue of living in Wisconsin (Sprecher, Potosi, etc), but this was definitely the best craft soda we've had. Even the wacky flavors like blue raspberry were rich and flavorful--they didn't taste overwhelmingly artificial. I cannot recommend their soda enough, although I imagine their craft beer is pretty good too! We also had a delicious mocktail, which always goes a long ways in impressing us. All of our food was reasonably priced and so, so, fresh and delicious. The Bavarian pretzel with the beer cheese was heavenly!! We loved our entrees as well. Even something simple like the fries were perfectly done--fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside I don't think we could have asked for a better experience. Everything we had their was top notch, and despite the number of things we ordered, our bill was not very high at all (about $50 for a mocktail, a craft soda flight and a soda pint, an appetizer and two entrees.

    If you look back over my reviews, there are not a ton of 5-star reviews. On my first, but not last,…read morevisit to Author's there was virtually nothing to complain about! We went to one of their limited dinner services. I had called the day before and reserved a table. When we were quickly seated at a table by the entrance, I admit being suspect of how our visit would go. The hostess asked if the table was alright and pointed out a heater by the table. Not only did it keep us warm, it made our table feel cozy. Despite it being very busy, I'd describe the restaurant as being a great place for a special date. Our waiter for the evening brought great energy. His timing was great and his knowledge of the food served was helpful. Without hesitation he suggested the Napolitana (which was phenomenal). He also made the restaurant less pretentious than I had assumed it would be and it definitely wasn't pretentious). We ordered the empanadas and beet salad as appetizers. Great picks and I'd return just to get the empanadas! As previously stated, I had the Napolitana. My dining partner has the quinoa bowl but added chicken to it. No complaints for either. We finished with two desserts suggested by our waiter. Although truly full from our meal, we polished off the tasty treats. I'm going back, just disappointed I've haven't visited it before now.

Unbelievable hospitality from the staff (Jackie and Victoria). The food is amazing, fresh, dimensional and just plain delicious . The atmosphere is so wonderful and always cozy/warm.
