I ordered the croque madame with the fried egg on top, and it was delicious. You can absolutely tell they use real butter--the true French way! My waistline might not thank them, but my tastebuds certainly did. I even brought home an almond croissant for the Hubby and snacked on a cheese and chive scone the next day, and everything was just fantastic. The only little hiccup is that the service can get a bit hectic. The staff seemed a little confused trying to match up the order numbers to the tables, and we almost got run over on our way out by a waiter sprinting to the patio! But even with the fast-paced environment, the food is wonderful whether you eat in or grab takeout. Definitely worth a visit! A much better experience here than MY 1st time. I think it's because they enlarged the dining area with more table space. It's still hard to have a conversation due to the high ceilings which echo the sound.

I love how homey this place feels. Sadly, we heard that this location is struggling a bit, so if you're thinking of coming here, please do! It's an amazing mission to support.

I don't ask for much but I do expect people abide by disability laws - I laws and way I life I served to protect. I recommend both veterans and disabled don't go here. And if you love them. Don't go here. She didn't even smile. Why be in business when you act like that. I can't speak to the food or drink as I didn't have a chance. I can tell you That French Guys was amazing.
