We went around 530, and the place was busy. It got super busy as dinner time rolled around. We sat at the bar and the greeted by the bartender. We ordered two drinks and two entrees to share. I had the Reyka and the Shrimp Étouffée (featured special). My husband ordered the Bedarra Old Fashioned and the Southern Fried Chicken. Our drinks were phenomenal. The presentation of mine was not what I expected. Loved the aesthetics! The Shrimp Étouffée was not one of our favorites. Shrimp was cooked to perfection but the rice and sauce ok, it was bland. The southern fried chicken was really good. It was flavorful and juicy. Definitely coming back when our daughter plays out there again. Nice place to grab a drink and a quick bite.

Holy moly -- so much food! We visited Toast & Jam on a Saturday morning and were seated right away…read more I started with the Birthday Cake Latte (made sugar-free), and it was huge, delicious, and perfectly balanced. I ordered the Southwest Skillet next, which was another generous portion -- I was full after just a third of it and had plenty to take home. The jam selection for the toast was amazing. They offered carrot cake, piña colada, and mixed berry. I'm not usually a carrot cake or piña colada person, but I was impressed by the creativity. The mixed berry was my favorite! Service was wonderful and attentive. Thanks for a great visit!

The interior is tiny but the seating options are more plentiful than it would seem! The interior is lovely and there is a beautiful mural of the lake county fairgrounds that deserves to be admired. My only suggestion would be to perhaps consider changing their television programming. Regardless of political views I can't imagine many customers want to come to brunch and watch Fox News. It makes the brunch experience feel a little too much a truck stop diner vibe. The music was nice so either eliminate the tvs all together or throw on something more pleasant. For food we went with the chicken fried steak sandwich and a Mexican skillet. I appreciate that the avocados were all very fresh! Overall it was very good. The sandwich was huge and so delicious!

I ordered a gyro and the indifferent waitress (who is always in the place acting agitated) tells me "we're out of gyros". We walked out. I used to see the owners every visit but now it appears the kids have taken over and are determined to ruin the place. We have probably eaten here 50 times or more over the years but yesterday was the last visit with these numbskulls. Right down the street is "Greek Islands"...better food, nicer people. Mainstreet is a trainwreck and the kids don't even realize they've run it off course.

The inside was done really well and made the whole place feel even more welcoming. The service was undeniably great. The girl handling the coffee told me "my pleasure" when I asked for a half cup on my refill, which stuck with me because it was such a small but genuine touch. Our waitress was also very easygoing and pleasant, and she made the meal that much better. The coffee was spectacular, and the food was outstanding. The waffle was absolutely magical.

The atmosphere is nice and the place looks like it wants to be a solid neighborhood spot, but the execution just isn't there. The coffee was mediocre at best -- not awful, just bland and forgettable, especially for a café that clearly takes itself seriously. Drinks came out lukewarm and lacked flavor, like they were rushed or poorly measured. Service was polite, but slow and unorganized. Nothing outright rude, just a lack of attentiveness and urgency that makes the whole experience feel sloppy. Prices don't match the quality, which is probably the biggest letdown. I'm giving it two stars instead of one because the space itself is decent and there is potential here. But until the coffee improves and service tightens up, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to return to.

We started with the Mediterranean board, which was delicious! Lots of great dips and naan. We would've enjoyed a few more grapes and cucumbers though. I also ordered the cucumber mocktail, which was super refreshing and tasty. I would highly recommend! The main issue was the timing, we were seated, ordered, and waited quite a bit. When our food finally arrived, our meals were unfortunately cold. My steak was cold but my rice was a little warm, all fries and Mac and cheese were really cold, and the burger was room temp but we were so hungry we went ahead and ate. I did mention it to our waitress as she asked how it all came out. She was very kind and offered to remake the dishes or comp dessert, which we appreciated but declined. Both she and the manager were polite - it just seemed like a busy night and our order got lost in the shuffle. Just mediocre for our time and money. Even so, we made the best of it, the kids had fun playing hangman and "I Spy" on the kids' menu with us while we waited. I'd still recommend you try them out!
