The Farmhouse fills up quickly on a weekend morning. Service was friendly and not rushed at all. I met the owner and he was super nice. That alone made me want to return. Coffee was OK, though there was a wait for it. I'm not really a traditional breakfast person, but the blueberry pancakes are fantastic. They are delicious with tons of blueberries. I wished the potatoes were a little crispier and better seasoned. Bacon was good. I'd absolutely return for breakfast, though I'm also looking forward to trying other menu items.

I've been wanting to check out The Charles because I love a good oyster happy hour, and when I…read moreheard their oysters were only $1 each, I knew I had to go. It's conveniently located right off the street. Parking is a little limited out front, but if you park around the back it's not bad at all. The restaurant itself is beautiful, very classy, very clean, and well put together. They have a bar area, a main dining space, and even outdoor seating. I ordered the raw oysters (of course) and they were fresh and good. They are on the smaller side, but for $1 each, you honestly can't beat it. I also tried one of their mocktails.They have a great variety and a solid lunch menu to go along with it. Service was amazing! The bartenders were classy, attentive, and just as polished as the restaurant's overall vibe. Overall, I would highly recommend T

This place was fantastic!!!…read more We stopped by for brunch and fell in love with this little side spot attached to The Charles. We walked in and saw a variety of food and drink items both made fresh and pre-prepared. I ordered the avocado toast and it was the best I've had in a very long time! I also ordered an iced coffee with sugar-free vanilla and it was perfect! I was also very happy to see that they carry the B-Doughnuts cinnamon buns, so I had to get one of those to-go! While I waited for my food to be prepared I took a lot around the market and they have so many different items for sale (spices, honeys, cheeses, etc.) There's a little sitting area where you can enjoy your food inside if you'd like and a nice selection of wines, vodkas and whiskeys in the back. I will definitely return to try more from this place, and take more pictures to share!

Sometimes the coffee is good and sometimes it is not (the coffee drink tastes more like milk than coffee) depending on who makes the drink. We have been numerous times and ordered different coffees on the menu, but more often than not, the coffee does not hit the spot. However, the service is friendly every time we have been. There are also plenty of specialty food items that you can purchase as well as alcohol.

I am so disappointed in this bakery! I have been there so many times and have ordered many cakes…read more This time I ordered a 1/4 sheet "My singing monster" for my son's 4th birthday. When I got an estimate and description of the cake it all sounded great. I was told there would be "monsters" on the cake and they would be edible, some trees and what not. The cake was $88.00. When I got there, the cake looked nothing like I was picturing from the conversation and it was very underwhelming, it had the logo on top, and ONE monster on the side and trees and greenery. The trees and greenery was fine but literally ONE monster on the side. I just did not expect to pay $88 for one monster. I am not one to discredit anyone's art but this was really ridiculous. . I addressed the girl at the front and she told me that they could add some sprinkles, a couple of monsters and that I would need to be charged 23 dollars AND I would have to come by several hours later to get the cake, I declined because it was the day of my sons party and his party was in just a couple of hours. This was a very sad experience and probably would not purchase a cake here again. Attached is the cake. Once I got home I added sprinkles of my own and a couple of picks to living it up. Giving 1 star because over all the cakes taste was good, but decorations and communication really lacked.

The service could have been better, but I don't think it was the servers fault. I was there for a bday party for around 20 ppl to include a dedicated kids table and 1 server to cover us all. 3-4 meals were not captured and I and 3 others had to wait until after everyone else was served to get our food. In my case I was given someone else's pizza (just pineapples) and the server took mine back and basically sprinkled Italian sausage crumbles on top. The environment was good. Family style bar/restaraunt with that local community staple vibe. Nice. Everyone was friendly, the bar tender was personable and I didn't drink anything just watched a game in the bar tv awaiting for my fam. I would go again if someone asked me to and maybe if in the area and wanted to have a drink hit the bar.wasnt the best experience but was a decent one. 3 stars seems adequate rating.

Ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Broccoli. The chicken was good but the broccoli…read morewas overcooked and mushy while the Alfredo sauce had no flavor to it (tasted like they had dumped a jar of Ragu Alfredo sauce and added water to it). When I brought this to the server's attention, she went back and talked to the manager who also agreed the broccoli was overcooked so they comped the meal. The initial rating was going to be 2 stars but 9 times out of ten, this place makes really good food and the fact that the Customer Service saved them from losing a regular customer stands out over one bad meal. The server herself was embarrassed when I brought this up to her and I had to advise her this was not her fault, as she was always within reach and not hard to get the attention of. The wife had ordered a salad with chili vinaigrette and bleu cheese was initially brought out in a separate container. When we brought this to the attention of the server, she immediately corrected it and brought out two containers of the vinaigrette. The ambiance of the place was like a family owned establishment and all of the staff were on point and available at all times. It was cozy and didn't feel like we were being rushed while the place was hopping, the parking lot was full and the turnover was very quick. Never felt pressured or rushed, but the process was as smooth as silk. Still one of the best Italian restaurants in the area, which says something for a business that looks like a hole in the wall from the outside.

The cornbread was hard, like inedible hard. The steak and cheese featured soggy bread with a side of limp lukewarm fries, and the jerk chicken was a poor imitation of jerk flavor, as the best word I could use to describe it was lifeless. On the bright side, the employee was friendly and the food was ready on time, so at least there was that. Unfortunately, this was a total miss so my first time will also be my last time.

Decent. Not special. Unlikely to make my regular rotation…read more I drove past this place going back to forth to work and on the outside it looked like a nice establishment. Today I finally visited and was a bit disappointed to see the underwhelming interior where it is strictly carry out and cheap metal guest chairs to wait on while the food is prepared. But it's really about the food right?! Meh. It was very hit and miss. I ordered the (4) sliders with grilled onions. They were slightly charred which was nice, and they were juicy, but they could have been cooked a little more (they were like medium to medium well and I prefer well done - I should note they didn't ask how I preferred my burgers cooked). I also ordered their jumbo fried wings and picked sweet and sassy sauce. The sauce was tasty and the wings had a nice texture, but beyond the sauce the wings had a plain flavor suggesting they didn't season the wings before frying and then coating them with sauce. Overall the food was solid but not awe inspiring. I was less impressed with their cakes. I ordered a strawberry slice and a carrot cake. The carrot cake was moist and wasn't bad at all. I've had much better, but it was edible and satisfied my sweet tooth for the day. The strawberry cake however was dry and grainy. Perhaps it was old. It was definitely a waste of $7.99! On the plus side the employee was friendly and nice, so there's that!

I can definitely see this being a great spot in the summer when the area is more lively and scenic. That said, I'm reviewing this strictly based on the food. Unfortunately, the dishes we ordered were a bit underwhelming. I had the burger with fries -- the fries were actually very good, crispy and well-seasoned -- but the burger itself was fairly basic and lacked the flavor I was hoping for. It felt comparable to something you might get at a fast-food spot rather than a sit-down restaurant. My girlfriend ordered the crab cake sandwich. It was decent, but it didn't stand out compared to other crab cakes we've had in the area. I would consider visiting again, but next time I'd likely focus more on seafood-specific entrées rather than traditional American options. There's potential here, and I'd be interested in giving it another try with a different selection.

My server (Lucy) was amazing and incredibly attentive--she even remembered me from the time before! She brought out oat milk for my coffee right away and preemptively dropped off extra napkins and silverware with my drinks. It's those little details that make a big difference! My order came out speedy, hot, and fresh. Everything was exactly as I ordered and cooked to perfection. Everything was clean, and the music was at a tolerable volume. The table syrups weren't even sticky ;) The coffee was fantastic per usual that I had to grab a to go cup.

You have to have reservations to dine in--even for the bar. I didn't dine in, I ordered takeout, which was superb and well worth the wait. Very nice place for a special day/date. I think this may be one of the best surf and turfs I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, well the broccolini was a bit tough, I had to use a steak knife to cut it. Crab cake has Lino filling at all--I was so intrigued by it. I couldn't figure out how it was held together. If you're looking to take your significant other somewhere special--this is a good spot, just make sure you make reservations before you visit or you will leave very upset.

I went out with two of my cousins for a belated birthday dinner. They've both been to this…read morerestaurant before, and it was the birthday girl's pick. This was my first visit, and I've been wowed. I'll go on record right now: this was the best restaurant crab dip I've ever had. It was the perfect amount of lump crab, just yummy goodness overload. That bread *chefs kiss* I could've made an entire meal out of that dip and been just as happy as a kid in the candy store lol. I ordered the fried seafood platter and swapped out the fries for a baked potato. Everything on the plate was delicious: the coleslaw, hush puppies, crab ball, oysters, fish, and shrimp. Both of my cousins ordered the surf and turf since they'd had it before and clearly loved it. After seeing them devour theirs, I know what I'm ordering next time. Overall, I had an amazing time. Our waitress, Sophie, was attentive and extremely personable.

I stopped by Cracker Barrel because I saw what looked like a meal deal advertised, but when I got…read morethere it was more of a "choose three country entrées" option with sides. For about $18 (before tax and tip), you get three selections and two sides, plus biscuits and cornbread ,which is definitely a good value for the quantity of food. I chose the fried chicken, meatloaf, and chicken & dumplings with turnip greens and mashed potatoes. The restaurant was pretty empty, and while the country store area is always charming, the dining room itself felt very cold .....literally. I will say my waitress, Tamara,was amazing. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure my drinks stayed full. Truly top-tier service. As for the food, it just wasn't good. The fried chicken was crispy but had a strange, almost watery taste. The meatloaf was dry and not appetizing. The chicken & dumplings were the only decent item, but it's hard to mess that up. The greens and mashed potatoes tasted old, and even though the biscuits and cornbread were warm, they tasted like they'd been baked earlier and reheheated. The peach sweet tea was good, though. I usually come to Cracker Barrel for breakfast because their pancakes (with the crispy edges) are good. But lately, even breakfast hasn't tasted as fresh as I remember. It could just be this location, but overall the quality feels like it's declined. The value is there for the portion size, but the freshness and flavor just aren't. I hope it's not the brand overall, because years ago Cracker Barrel tasted hot, fresh, and truly country. This visit just felt old and reheated.

We passed the competition so Cracker Barrel was the winner this morning. The parking lot was full, or so we thought. My honey dropped me in the front to beat the line but to my surprise, we didn't wait, I was seated immediately. Our waitress was a little overwhelmed but she was nice. Second time around, the young man was starting week two on the job so he was learning. Food has been great and very affordable each time we've come. We've been here back to back weekends. It's that good! The prices can't be beat. Ambiance is casual. Love the store! Super cute! Let's Get Into It! Momma's Pancake Breakfast is my pick. Add Blueberries please! - SO Good! Grandma's Pancake Sampler is fantastic! He loves it! French Toast - it's a pass for me. Coffee is decent! One visit it was gross, second visit it was great. Overall, you can't beat the price, it's breakfast; a decent breakfast for an affordable price. Beats fast food. Definitely going to make this a monthly stop. He agrees.
