Pretty quaint little spot in a small town. We waited inside for several minutes without being…read moregreeted and finally decided we should seat ourselves and then the lady at the front told us to seat ourselves as we walked towards the back. We sat there for a few minutes before a server brought some menus. She seemed pretty annoyed by our presence. All of the much older very conservative looking customers also seemed annoyed that we had came there to eat. They were out of the appetizer we wanted (onion petals) so we got fried mushrooms. Server was again annoyed when I thought the hot sandwiches on the menu were actual sandwiches instead of just mashed potatoes and gravy on top of meat. I opted for a tenderloin sandwich instead. It was massive and pretty good. The mushrooms were tasty but it was a very small order. A warning would have been awesome since I said "we want" instead of "I want" and it is clearly too small of an appetizer for two people. They're typically a much larger order anywhere else we go. My boyfriend tried some of my sandwich and said it was the best sandwich he'd ever tasted. He had popcorn shrimp and murpheys mess, neither of which he liked. The server got a lot more friendly right at the very end when I told her that we were sent there on somebody's recommendation who she knew.

No potatoes and I ordered a side of link sausage that were delicious! Very good service, comfortable booth seating, but poor parking. The price was low to moderate.

Fort Madison is a charming but old town with lots of character but many businesses have a hard time staying alive. They bring a modern and big city feel with a small town community vibe. The staff there are super friendly and helpful and the food and coffee are on point! I got the Chicken Sal Sando and a flat white with their house made caramel syrup, and my hubby got the open face hummus toast. Everything was delicious and I definitely plan on coming back! They also have a little shop in the back with cute boutique items like jewelry, stationary, magnets, candles, and stickers. 5/5!

She has answered my phone calls, she has met me face to face, and every time she speaks to me, she takes some of her miserable existence and she tries to spread it out to me. I had a doordash go terribly wrong. Every single doordash goes wrong, but this one in particular, we had spent over 30 dollars and everything was wrong. I called in because I was so upset. I asked her to just empathize with me. She remained steadfast and told me some jargon, in a very demeaning way. I then said "Listen, I'm not trying to get free food or anything, I just want you to apologize for what I went through" and she refused. She hung up on me. This level of service has carried on throughout the years. I've driven up to the window to find no one there and a "Sorry, come back later, we're cleaning" only to find out that one kid was the only person there and everyone else abandoned him. I've asked to buy 5 hot mustards at the window to be told "we're not going to sell that to you" and I had to argue with her that I would pay. I just want to end this with I don't think it's any one person, but I think it's the collection of people working there. If you're not like this troll, stand up and say something and fix the issue. The food its self is also a problem. They are doing something to the fries. They are never fresh, even right after being pulled out of the frier. They taste terrible and the oil coats your tongue. The burgers smell terrible as well. This food is literally poison.
