Admittedly, the tacos were not what I expected. They were fried fish with Cajun seasoning sprinkled on top in taco shells that looked more like small taco salad bowls with heaping levels of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. I ate the fish and couldn't have been happier- light and delicious. Onion rings were very good. We grabbed a donut and cinnamon roll for the road. A bit dry - maybe it was day old - but 15 seconds in the microwave and it was yummy. This is a great stop because you can get gas and ice cream right next door. This is a keeper stop when we are in the area.

There were several tables and booths occupied while people were eating. We went to the counter to inquire about the menu. The poor kid was swamped. He was the only one working in the food area. The phone was ringing off the hook and there were several people in front of us. When it was our turn we asked about the pizza sold by the slice. The warming pizza turnstile was empty. The kid immediately said that he just didn't have time to put another pizza in, but would do one right away. He did and the pizza was ready in about 15 minutes. It was a fresh dough pepperoni pizza that was done to perfection. We bought a couple of slices at $2 each. We were so pleased. Each slice had plenty of pepperoni, the sauce and cheese ratio was perfect and it was crispy on the bottom with puffy edges. I wish that we lived closer, I would be ordering more of those pizzas! If you are in the area, don't hesitate to stop in and get a slice.

Yelp has served me so well over the years on finding good spots to eat, and this was no exception. Everything about this place was great. Staff. Food. Atmosphere. Drinks. Decor. Chucky Doll. Harry Potter on the TV THIS WAS MY KIND OF PLACE! I had a great local IPA and C had a bloody. Both of which were really tasty. C got that bad ass Rueben shown in my pics. Talk about an epic sandwich!! Holy crap it was good. May have been the best corned beef I have ever had! I could go on and on about the fries as well! Yum! I got the crispy Korean style wings. I forget the actual name, that might have been it, but I do remember how much I loved them. Crunchy, sweet, spicy, sticky, goodness!! If I even get within a hundred miles of this place, you better believe I will be right back at this bar! I love you State Lunch! '26 - 9

Lots of fresh produce, a good selection of dry goods, works from local artists and crafters, and elevated breakfast choices (albeit more limited). It felt like a beloved community place and farm. I ordered the veggie panini, and my partner got a bagel with cream cheese. It was fairly busy, and it took a while to get our food. I know they put a lot of effort and care into making their food, and perhaps they were short-staffed that day, but it did feel a bit long. They have a ton of seating (inside and outside) so there were plenty of places to wait comfortably. The groceries were on the pricier side so we ended up not getting anything else, but I respect that they're paying their people a living wage.

You walk in to this gorgeous space, step right up to the counter, and order all the goodies you could possibly want. The drink menu is vast - so many fun coffee beverages for the adventurous, and non-coffee options for everyone else. But if you want to keep it simple, their serve-yourself drip coffee is delightful, and there's plenty of flavors to keep it interesting (peppermint white mocha drip coffee, what??) Ok so you get your bevvie and you work very hard to find a cozy little nook to sit down - maybe someone is waiting for a to go order and gives up their seat for you? It's Gardiner, people are kind! You sit and wait and take in the surroundings - it's almost like you're in a greenhouse, with potted plants everywhere you look and dried flowers hanging from the ceiling. Then your little buzzer goes off and you go get your own food directly from the kitchen - no server/expo/restaurant experience required! Score your own hot sauce, silverware, and other condiments along the way. And dig in! The food is amazing! It's all stuff you've seen on a brunch menu before - French toast, eggs Benedicts, sandwiches - but it's got that extra flair. French toast with lemon curd and raspberries. Corned beef Reuben, but baked in Filo pastry instead of bread. A breakfast scramble with a spicy Korean twist. It's all fun and different and GOOD. You'll be too full, but stop at the counter on the way out the door and snag a fresh croissant or pastry for later. You'll thank me. I would love for this place to be full-service... But I think that might change the whole vibe. There's something cozy about the do-it-yourself aspect. And everything else about Bintliff's is delightful. We can't wait to return.

We had the halibut at the oyster bar next door and the halibut at the oak room... Oak Room was much better. But the biggest differentiator was the service. Everyone at the Oak Room was so hospitable and seemed to genuinely enjoy the job (quite the opposite of next door). If you get a chance be sure to have a muffin at breakfast. They're delicious.

We arrived early and found a spot in the very small lot they have next to the building. There were plenty of street spots open within walking distance as well. The whole area fills up starting in late morning, so I would plan your trip and know all of your parking options in advance so that you aren't driving 5 miles an hour down the road looking for parking. LOL There is usually a wait, so just be prepared for it. I was able to put our name on the list and we walked around the area. Our server was great - wow was she energetic. Zipping around, smiling and engaging with all of the customers. Our food was delicious!! The sticky bun...we managed to snag one of the last few left. Again, get there early if you don't want to miss out. The corned beef hash - amazing Biscuits - YUM Gravy - savory goodness. Home fries - flavorful and not too greasy. Eggs - perfect! I highly recommend this place and I hope to be able to return again soon, during the non-tourist season.

This cozy breakfast and lunch spot is popular with locals and visitors, so you'll likely have to wait for a table. It is definitely worth the wait, but If you're in a hurry, check to see if a seat is available at the counter. Service at Home Kitchen is warm and welcoming, and you're in for a treat if you're lucky enough to sit in Zan's area (short for Suzanne). I couldn't decide between a tuna sandwich or a grilled cheese, and she suggested combining both into a tuna melt. Brilliant! Along with a shared order of large fries, it was a tasty and filling lunch. The best part? All of it was gluten free! Home Kitchen bakes their own GF bread and pastries, and they are far superior to grocery-store GF baked goods. Even though we were sated from lunch, Zan encouraged us to order dessert, since they had a GF chocolate cupcake with salted caramel frosting. On her recommendation, we got two cupcakes to go - a GF chocolate cupcake for me, and a pumpkin cupcake with maple cream cheese frosting for my friend -- which we enjoyed later in the day from the comforts of home. Wow. Super delicious. More please!

The free street parking right outside the restaurant was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Just as surprising was the overpriced and just-okay food. I gotta say, both the inside and outside vibe of the place are a bit misaligned with the menu and food quality, and also the prices. We arrived at around noon and the menu unfortunately didn't look any breakfast items as they stopped those at 11am. Instead, our options were burgers, sandwiches, and dinner plates. The menu was quite extensive and creative -- it wasn't your typical diner menu (Asian noodles?!) -- but also, prices were steep for a place like this. A cheeseburger was $16+, with an extra $1 charge for tomato and onion. The sandwiches were more expensive and just included chips -- fries were an up-charge. Honestly, just the prices alone were a turn off. My burger -- I ordered the one with brie and jam on it -- was so underwhelming. Not even an exciting cheese like brie could save it. What a shame because it really did seem like such a cool spot!
