THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ STU Burger - Burger was cooked an absolutely perfect medium! Burger wasn't huge, but was super juicy, fresh right off of the grill and the Stu sauce was a great addition to it. + Big Al' shroom BOOM Burger - Same comments as above, but with mushrooms, onions and truffle sauce smotherrrred all over it. + Stupendous Cheesesteak - EXCELLENT cheesesteak. The bread was soft and the steak was tender and tasty. The cheese melted perfectly on it. + Cheese Fries - Very good baked cheese fries. These aren't your typical gooey cheese fries, but instead oven baked with probably sliced cheese melted on top. I prefer the "gooier" version, but it was still good. Our family shared this and still had some left over! + Strawberry Milkshake - Spot on as authentic as it gets. Creamy, smooth, no artificial flavor what so ever. + Menu consists of multiple burgers, flatbreads, salads, sandwiches, appetizer and sides, but DEFINITELY go get one of the burgers! THE SERVICE ------------------- + PHENEMONAL service from the lone employee working the floor. The woman was very friendly, kind and made sure we had everything we needed multiple times. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- = The restaurant isn't huge, but does have 3 tables for 4, 3 tables for 2 and multiple counter seats. = No private parking lot, but there are street parking spots right outside. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Were the 1st customers on a late Sunday morning at 11 AM and we were pretty much the only diners during our entire time here. There were a few pickup orders, but it was fairly quiet. Don't let that deter you from coming by though!

Decor: nothing fancy. Small, clean spot with some countertop seating and table seating. Might be 4-5 tables each with 4 chairs.

Service: about what you would expect from a spot like this. A man or woman behind the counter, all smiles, has a little bit of an accent. Food coming out like quickfire. Food: I'm gonna be honest...this food isn't the most health conscious. It's spicy. It's greasy. Some of it is fried. With all that said...I DONT CARE! I wouldn't advise nose diving into their menu. Take it slow. The Chilli is spicy so you might want to get it on the side for the first time to test your limits. Otherwise, Chilli cheese dogs, chicken platter, cheeseburger wedge, and French fries are all legit! That's pretty much all I have to say. Until next time...

We had unsweetened iced teas, and the kids' seltzer came in a kid-sized cup. After ordering, we were served cornbread sticks, which were really good and a hit with my son. Elwood also brought crayons and paper for him, which was a thoughtful touch. We started with the gator nuggets and frickles. The gator nuggets were our favorite appetizer. The frickles were good, but the batter was fairly thick, which made the pickle flavor a little subtle. For my entrée, I had the fried chicken with collard greens and mac and cheese. The chicken was nicely crispy and came with four pieces, though it was a little overcooked for my taste. The collard greens were on the sweet side, and the mac and cheese could have used a bit more flavor. The highlight of our visit was the service. Elwood was friendly, attentive, and struck the perfect balance of checking in without being overbearing. Overall, the food was a bit mixed for us, but the excellent service, family-friendly touches, and pleasant outdoor seating made for an enjoyable experience.

If you haven't been to On the Way Café lately you don't know what you're missing. The new owners and Chef are incredible! I should warn newcomers though; this place has 2 distinct personalities. It has an unbelievably family friendly weekend breakfast and Sunday brunch with exceptional standards and exciting specials and a totally stylish and chic weekday lunch. The burgers are out of this world. The last time I was there for lunch I had the skirt steak special and all I can say is wow. read more
