It felt thoughtfully made with the right amount of everything! The service was consistently good throughout our visit. The staff was young, but they were friendly, patient, and attentive with my group. Even during busier moments, they took their time and were happy to answer questions, which really added to the overall experience. The ambiance stood out as well. It's a quaint café located in a small town, and the large windows provide a clear view of the surrounding area. The space felt cozy, calm, and inviting, which is perfect for sitting and enjoying a drink or taking a short break while exploring the area. Overall, this was a great stop and an easy place to recommend. I genuinely enjoyed my time here and would have loved to come back again before leaving, but unfortunately my friends and I didn't have the time. But if I'm ever back in town, I'd definitely make a point to return!

I ordered their Merry Matcha & my daughter had their peppermint cocoa and we were both so happy with our choices! (Not pictured was our breakfast because we were starving!) but I had their everything bagel with cream cheese, hubby and kiddos had their breakfast sandwiches and everything was delicious! Love that they do a build your own sandwich, which is what we did since our kiddos are carnivores and need all meat! Breakfast for the 4 of us was around $65 but would much rather support small local businesses than your big chains! Will definitely stop by again when we're in Crestline!

Sharon, Brian, and Erin at Goodwins are truly the best. They always take great care of me and make…read moreevery visit feel welcoming. They're all great people, and they make hands-down the best coffee on the mountain. They start my day almost every day of the week, and I'm genuinely grateful for them. Brian has done an amazing job with the cold brews, specialty drinks, and all the unique coffee options you can buy at Goodwins. There's always something new and thoughtfully done, and the quality is consistently excellent. If you haven't tried their coffee yet, you're seriously missing out. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting this crew -- they do it right.

Every time I buy chicken here, I get chicken juice all over my hands because they're terrible at wrapping it in their little styrofoam trays with saran wrap. They're always leaky. And the produce is often subpar compared to other stores. Wilted or spotted from age. But alas, they're the closest store, so I keep ending up there. Do I recommend? Absolutely not! Sometimes I drive an extra 15 mins just to have better options.

Arrived with a party of 4 and there was a short wait to get seated. There's about a total of 12 or so tables but it was moving at a decent pace. Unfortunately things went south from there. Got seated and the waiters were pretty fast and attentive. I had an early breakfast so decided to go with the lunch Patty Melt as it was a restaurant house specialty. Friends ordered the BBQ sandwich and Ragin Cajun. It took almost 30+ minutes for the food to come out and most of the meats came out very dried for some reason. The fries were fabulous though. Decor is very mountain diner-esque but clean and comfy. Maybe what we ordered was not exactly their specialty as I saw lots of people eating breakfast. But the lunch menu was just not it on Sunday sadly. Was so hungry from the long wait that I even forgot to take photos of my food.

I wasn't prepared for that hahaha I was able to find a few things that were vegetarian friendly. My mom wanted nachos, and I wanted a cheese quesadilla. My dad was craving a burger. They had all of those. It was the perfect stop. There was some sort of street fair going on, so we grabbed our food and walked around the little town. Service was good. The restaurant isn't very big. They sure do whip up some good grub though! I can see why they have good reviews. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the mountain. Next time I go up, I will come back here.

We waited 40 minutes and they were serving numbers 14/15, we were numbers 32/33. So another 40+ minutes? We ended up leaving. Another co worker who was first in line ordered a burger, well done, got a pink patty. I hate to leave a bad review, but I have to be honest and warn others. I don't recommend this food truck for a large company lunch in, maybe if the crowd was small, which at this point was small because only one department was out, maybe they would be able to manage better. We were so excited for this lunch. What a let down.

The staff is always friendly, attentive, and really makes you feel like part of the community. The food is consistently great, but my absolute favorite is the brisket -- perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor every single time. And if you come on the weekend, the live band takes the whole experience to another level. Great music, great food, great people... it's the perfect combo. It's the ideal spot to relax after a long day, hang out with friends, or enjoy a good meal on the mountain. If you're in the area, you definitely need to stop by. Highly recommended!

We opted to sit outside and they turned on all of their outdoor heaters for us, even though we're were initially the only ones out there. It was a cold night but the heaters made it comfortable. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries. One of my friends ordered the bacon bbq burger with onion rings. We split these plates so we could both try two different dishes. I accidentally ordered a buffalo sauce instead of the bbq for my nuggets, and I was not a fan of the sauce. It was a dark sauce with too much smokiness to it. My friend ordered a side of bbq and that one was much better. The tenders are crispy and pair well with their bbq sauce or their ranch. The burger was also tasty. Fries were okay and I did not like their onion rings. They had a different taste to them. I couldn't put my finger on the flavor but it wasn't good in my opinion. My other friend ordered mozzarella sticks, and they were not good. No cheese pull, and it honestly tasted like moderately fried string cheese. The food took a really long time to come out. I know they were busy, but once the food came, we inhaled it because of how hungry we were. The vibes there are excellent though. We really enjoyed the music and the staff were fantastic. I still recommend making a pit stop here if you're ever in the Crestline area.

After getting the attention of a staff member through the window, they just yelled "closed" for the better part of a minute as I'm explaining that I made an online order. Eventually, someone else came and told me that they're closed. I informed her, I was aware and recognized that I will not be getting my food tonight. At this point, I just asked them to cancel the order so I could get a refund. They told me they couldn't do that and argued with me to do it on my phone. Which I explained that I cannot. After showing her my phone, she told me I had to "figure it out" and closed the window on me. Awesome. I see why this place has 2 stars. And that's a high bar.
