Brussel Sprouts bowl
Jillian T.

Will definitely be back for another of these yummy pesto brussel bowls! Quick service and good coffee--only complaint is the plastic cups instead of mugs for dine-in.

Drinks
Christopher A.

Wife and I stopped in here while we were waiting for our aquarium time and over all it was just okay! If I could give it a 3.5 I would! We were greeted quickly after walking in, grabbed a menu and a couple drinks and ordered at the counter. I ordered the Nashville Hot Honey Chicken with fries and she ordered the chipotle grilled chicken. Both of our sandwiches lacked flavor especially my Nashville Hot sandwich. Fries were plain jain with hardly anything that stuck out. The main star of the show was the big portion of Brussels, they were good but again still needed some seasoning. Overall we left pretty disappointed. Wouldn't be back!

Supposed to be a waffle.
Julie T.

Positives. The Goetta sandwich was good. Egg cooked perfectly and it had a nice slice of fresh tomato. The potato tot waffle good but didn't look like a waffle. Ours was a mess but I saw other diners that ordered it and it look great. The negative is the Bloody Mary. No olives no celery no limes or lemons. When I asked they said they don't have any. Tasted like tomato juice even though I asked for spicy. Do not order one! Server was nice. Probably won't be back.

The Kitchen Sink
Shelby P.

We love press! It's such a cute little cafe with really delicious food. When you enter you order at the counter then find a place to sit if you are dining in. The drinks come quickly and they will bring your food to the table if you are dining in. The sausage biscuit sandwich is the perfect little breakfast sandwich. Everything is always so good, highly recommend!

Avocado toast
Colonel M.

The food was amazing! Read reviews before going so was prepared for the fast environment regarding service. The coffee was amazing too! Ambiance is quite nice. Didn't feel rushed even though people were waiting.

Chicken & Waffle Stack
Lucy B.

Finally tried Press! I can see why this place always has a line out the door. We did have an incredibly long wait time to order, but the food came out great. Tried the chicken and waffles which was really good. My only suggestion would be to have two cashiers during peak hours

Biscuits and gravy with egg
Tyler L.

Stopped in randomly for the first time on a Saturday. We came around brunch time so it was pretty busy, but we still got our food very quickly! We ordered a few different things to try from their menu as well as a couple coffees. Everything turned out excellent, and we were super happy and full when we left our table. We would definitely come back! Highly recommend their iced coffees, they are waffles, and biscuits and gravy! You order at the counter and get a number. Food will be brought to your table! Very easy and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

Entrance
Robert S.

Needed a quick bite and found this place. Multiple menu options and decent prices. Hot honey was good, but kind of took away from the great biscuit. Fries were abundant when ordering the side order of them. Casual atmosphere with a neighborhood vibe. Saw families and couples of all ages. Service was good and fairly quick. Would definitely come back if visiting again.

Cinnamon Waffle with a side of bacon
Terry

We stopped in early for breakfast. The food was excellent, the staff was very accommodating, and the service was exceptionally fast. Coffee was perfect. A little pricey for what I would call "self serve ". We did not realize that it did not have a full waitstaff. You order at the counter and they deliver the food. The atmosphere was a little stark, but all in all a nice experience.

My husband brought me to Baker's Table for my birthday dinner. I first became aware of this place…read morewhen I started getting ads for the chef's sourdough book on social media--got the book for Christmas, and apparently talked about that enough that he decided I needed to experience the restaurant! What's striking about the restaurant itself is how quiet and calm it feels. With limited nightly seatings and every dinner table doing the tasting menu there's a sort of orchestrated flow that permeates the space. Not to say energy is low or it's so quiet you feel self-conscious talking; it's just that nothing about the experience feels rushed or accidental. As expected, the bread course was phenomenal as was all the food we enjoyed! We opted for the wine pairing along with dinner, which results in about 1.5 or 2 full glasses over the course of the meal. The sommelier did an excellent job introducing and explaining each wine, as well as why it was selected to pair with each course. All told, a lovely experience and one worth repeating--and not just because the menu changes every season.

Wow! We went with a group of seven of us and were treated like royalty. Chef personally delivered…read moreour bread service and talked about what it was and how it was made. Each course was like a piece of art on the plate! This is one of those special 'splurge' places that leaves you wanting it again. The space is small and cozy seating only around 20 people.

Been eyeing Pensive for a couple years and finally made it out this week with my Wife. We're eager…read moreto find a top-tier burger place in the area, though unfortunately this fell a little short of our expectations. Decided to split the Silver Charm for an appetizer, and it came about ten minutes later. The onion rings were decent, good flavor and somewhat crispy. The accompanying sauces of barbecue and ranch were both good as well, though both were missing something to elevate them a bit more I think. The flavor was good, but quite a small portion for $10. My wife ordered the Strike the Gold Burger and I went for the Northern Dancer Crispy Chicken. The sandwiches came out about ten minutes after we finished the Silver Charm, which was perfect timing. She liked her burger pretty well, and I took a bite too. The "caramelized onions" were definitely more sauteed, with still a bit of crunch, and otherwise I could really only taste the barbecue sauce, which was tasty, but I would have liked some more varied flavors. My chicken sandwich was... a bit disappointing. Rather than a chicken piece that appropriately fit the bun, it was more of a chicken strip, with bites that would only yield bun. In addition, because the chicken piece was so small, it was also extremely dry, which is a bummer because I actually thought the breading was very tasty. The chipotle aioli was decent, but didn't pack as much spice or flavor as I was hoping. And with only two toppings and a sauce on the whole sandwich, I was disappointed that the tomato was rather mushy and didn't seem fresh. I will say the fries that came with our sandwiches were crisp and well seasoned, and somewhat unfortunately the best part of my meal. Based on our experience, I didn't hate our dinner here and if someone invited me to meet them here, I wouldn't say no, but I'm also not going out of my way to revisit.

Easy to get to, plenty of parking in their lot across the street. There are some steps to climb…read moreinto the restaurant - it's an old building on a corner and some of the tables are upstairs. The menu is fried chicken of course, but there are a ton of seafood dishes and a veal pappardelle dish that looked tasty. Portions are generous. I had their "claim to fame" chicken dinner and it was not only fantastically delicious, it was also a super affordable choice. Staff is exceptionally nice and capable. The food was sent to the table as soon as it was plated I think, it was so hot and fresh. All in all I recommend the PP - get the chicken!

We read about how good the fried chicken is, so we called to make reservations for a Saturday night…read more(you must call). The place is small and had a very weird vibe between fine dining and kitschy. White tablecloths, but then lots of purple and pictures of roosters everywhere (I realize the name, but hmmm). Our server was lovely but would disappear for too long between times when she should have been present. We ordered our drinks at 745pm, and I watched them sit at the end of the bar. Finally, at 805pm, I went to the bartender and said, "those are our drinks that have been sitting there for a while". Our server brought them over like we ordered them 5 minutes prior. But the lovely owner/manager came over and said the "drinks are on me" because we waited so long. We appreciated that! The fried chicken was good, but the breading was very salty. The green beans were almost inedible because they were so salty. The mashed potatoes were average. The biscuits were fantastic. The fried deviled eggs were okay. A regular deviled egg is better. The shrimp and grits had a lot going on. The shrimp was lightly battered and fried (?) and the flavor of the dish was bold. I think sauteed shrimp and a little less gravy would make it perfect.
