    Eggs Benedict
    Megan F.

    We met friends for breakfast and they have a lot of seating and could accommodate larger groups. I ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes and a cafe latte. The food was decent, and they serve basic breakfast.

    This was our first visit to this cafe. The food was very yummy I loved my bananas foster and he loved his breakfast as well. The server was very pleasant and I loved the overall atmosphere. It's very beautiful to look at and very chill environment. Can't wait to come back again!

    A cute community center annex w/good coffee and decent menu. Not having lights in the hallway leading to the bathrooms is a hazard-- the staff seemed not to care much that it is a hazard. It's farther from Rt 65 than I'd hoped.

    Hearty breakfast plate with thick toast. Coffee was the best part.

    Same as my previous review. Friendly and attentive staff. Good sized menu with lots of choices and decent bottomless coffee. I find the food very bland but there is hot sauce and ketchup on the table. The vibe is open airy contemporary artsy charm, maybe? The omelette was filling and hearty. The pancakes had a strange texture and taste, maybe it was gluten free or buckwheat batter. The food is three stars and service is four stars. Total score 3.25.

    Denver omelette, home fries and English muffin

    As soon as you walk in a bakery case greets you with a variety of sweet treats including muffins and cookies. While you're waiting for a table you can look at the musical decorations and check out the store that's connected to the restaurant and Community Center. The menu has breakfast and lunch options. From omelettes to biscuits and gravy to the thickest, fluffiest pancakes I have ever seen! I was tempted to try the breakfast taco or quesadilla but went with the 3-egg omelette, home fries and an English muffin! Everything was delicious! We splurged at the end of the meal and tried the beignets! They came with a delicious caramel sauce to dip them in. Can't wait to go back and try a few other things on the menu. All the servers were polite, friendly and quick. The prices were very reasonable and a good for a group or for college students!

    I'm not 100% sure about this place. It's very cute inside. Looked nice and clean. The service was a little awkward. Nice, but awkward. The hostess seemed like she was uncomfortable seating us. The servers were very young which in itself isn't an issue. They just seemed very scared and uncomfortable. It took quite a bit of time to get our drinks, and they forgot to bring our to go boxes. They were nice though. The food was really great! The beignets were great. I had the breakfast burrito and a half order of biscuits and gravy. The burrito was very flavorful. The sauce on top really sealed the deal. The diced potatoes on the side were cooked and seasoned well. The biscuits and gravy were pretty good for a restaurant. Homemade is always better though. The WORST part didn't even happen directly to us. Our server was standing next to another worker. Possibly a manger because she was wearing a black polo. Standing at a server station, right in the middle of the restaurant, she started throwing stuff on the ground. Looked like check holders with receipts inside. Multiple of them. Then she proceeded to throw someone's payment card over her shoulder onto the floor. Right in front of everyone. That's really disrespectful, especially to do that with someone's livelihood. Not to mention basically throwing a tantrum in the middle of a restaurant. If you need to do that, go in the back out of the customers' sight. Really awful. I'll consider carry out from here, but probably never dine in again.

    Great service, people and food. Pleasantly surprised at this restaurant that has been here since Spring of 2022. On a late Sunday morning, we had to wait ~15 minutes to be seated - this is nearly unheard of! Fresh food with an extensive coffee bar. Pleasant and comfortable seating area while we waited to be seated. Will definitely come again!

    Bang bang shrimp and grits

    Lovely spot in Market Square. The North End Community Center is run by Faith Ministries so there is a very strong Jesus-y bent to ambiance/decor. Nice little patio area and some lounge-y coffee shop type seating indoors in addition to tables and booths. Service was friendly and attentive. Menu is huge and has lots of classics as well as some inventive options. The bang bang shrimp and grits was fabulous. Very flavorful.

    My mom and I took a road trip in to Michigan city and decided to make a plan to only go to local places to eat. Stopped off the beaten path and it was WELL worth it. Servers were extremely nice and food was delicious. Highly recommended. We also forgot our credit card on the table and they came out in the rain to give it back to us

    My husband just ordered the ultimate omelette, and I ordered a ham and Swiss omelet. I never order…read moreomelettes because I don't want overcooked eggs and most burn them. I tried it today because someone commented that they did eggs well. They do. My omelette was fluffy and filled with ham. My husband's omelet was so packed with meat and vegetables that it couldn't be closed. He really enjoyed it. We asked for well-done potatoes and got well-done potatoes the coffee was OK not great not bad but I'm really fussy about coffee so take that with a grain of salt. You'll see the picture of his silver dollar pancakes and they look very pale, but they were well-cooked. We were warned when we entered that they were having some sort of trouble with the ticket machine and it might take longer than usual it didn't take any longer than I've waited many times before We'll be going back. I posted a picture of the front and a nearby business with a larger sign so you should be able to find it. It's a very small place and somehow we kept missing it so I hope the pictures help. Both of these two waitresses checked on us often. I do see one possible problem, the place is tiny in the middle of winter when that door opens. You're not far away from it. I don't know how they manage that. I'll let you know ,we will be going back.

It fills an oval dinner plate, tastes great & is pretty cheap, too! Less than $10 + tip. The staff & other customers are very friendly, as well. I will definitely be back!! The only down side is they are CASH ONLY. So, make sure you have money with you, or be prepared to use the on-site ATM.

    This is my second time here driving back from Chicago to Ohio and both times I have stopped here…read morefor lunch. The first time I got breakfast and a root beer. This time I got a burger and root beer. This isn't fancy food, this is country cooking at it's finest. The root beer is amazing. I should have asked about a root beer float, next time. You walk it and sit where ever you can. It it a long counter that wraps around and the wait staff walk inside it. The fries are yummy, and the burger was perfect for what I needed a solid meal since I hadn't eaten in almost 9 hours. Yep sounds like a personal problem. But hey at least the food here has been perfect both times. Maybe next time I will buy a shirt or at least some root beers to go with me. My burger was a true knife and fork meal. At least I am too old to be wearing my chili all over my beard and shirt. Highly recommend if in the area and it is only 5 miles off the interstate. Drive in and enjoy a yummy meal.

    I've been here a few times in the past 4 years, and it's pretty good . There's plenty of food. The…read moreroot beer is sweet. The burgers, tenderloin, fries and eggs are all good. We sat outside since the dogs were with us. The seats were uncomfortable and extra cold with the plastic benches in a lattice design . Today was a special occasion and they did zero to help celebrate even though they said they would. The wait to be seated took an extremely long time. The rating is more 3 and a half than 4 (especially given this latest visit) but I tend to be generous overall if possible.
