They have a good selection of beers on tap. Their Chicken Peanut soup is so good, I always want to take a gallon home with me. It's savory, a little spicy, and loaded with plenty of meat and vegetables. Their salads are fresh and they have plenty of options so we can change them up every time we visit. When the weather is nice, the outdoor seating by the bar is refreshing and you might see an amazing sunset as well.

This cafe is the definition of a local spot. Everybody seemed to know each other and conversations drifted between staff and tables during our visit. The menu is made up of typical breakfast staples but there were a surprising number of variations too! I ordered the huckleberry pancakes with eggs and bacon. My wife had corned beef hash eggs and a biscuit and gravy. The food was delicious. The corned beef hash was the best I've tasted in seventy years. The meat was so fresh and tangy and the potato crisp. I have to comment on the bathrooms. They were incredibly clean, the tissue dispenser was set high on the wall near the bowl and dispensed easily. Everything about our visit was impressive. Do yourself a favor and drop on in!

Our server, Josie was so attentive and the most adorable server. Then live music started, wow, incredible! The Thai Salad was a spicy delight! They were out of gluten free hot dog buns, which every store in the area has been struggling with, so they made me this amazing hot dog sandwich with gluten free hamburger buns. Tasted the same and so perfect, how kind of them! My husband had the house salad with ranch and loved it along with his Chicago dog. Truly an amazing experience and worth the trip from CDA! We will be back! What an amazing gem in the gem state! They also have a full menu outside of what I posted, incredible food and great service!

What we got was freezer burnt ice cream, a couple small Boston creme donut things from Safeway or a similar grocery store, more whipped cream and chocolate sauce, and another grocery store lemon pie slice with whip cream and more chocolate sauce. There was chocolate sauce on my debit card that was given to me. Overall the food was great ! Just avoid the dessert. That was not worth $20.. everything was freezer burnt and that was not the desserts on the picture nor was there a description of it being available desserts. Also our server told us when one item was not going to be fully available, the same was not done for our dessert.

So, my wife and I thought we'd give it a try. So glad we did! We sat at the bar, even though there was plenty of seating, and were addressed by the server promptly. We ordered a chicken sandwich to share and the soup flight. The sandwich was great and the soups were really great! All three of them. I had a really good huckleberry cider and my wife a citric IPA. We both like our drink. As a bonus, they have several TV's to watch sports games on. They have a small patio for the warm days. We will be back for sure to enjoy good food, service and a fun time.

Both come with one free refill. The Shirley tasted off and it wasn't that good, but the huckleberry lemonade was delicious and would get again. For food, I ordered the train burger and bowl of soup of the day (potato soup). The burger was pretty average and not my favorite. The fries were pretty good. Price wasn't bad considering theme park prices. Soup was yummy and creamy. The fish and chips only came with 2 pieces of fish, but it was good but a bit too greasy. And the chicken burger was delicious and crispy, I would recommend getting this out of all the dishes. Our server didn't check up on us, and a different waitress had to check back and get us drink refills. We also didn't get any water for the table unless we asked and I thought it should have been served right away. When asked to split the bill in two, the waiter acted like it was a big task and he had us tell him everything we got because he couldn't remember. It was a bit annoying that the server didn't try to check up on us and that he didn't want to split the bill. Food was okay, but I wish service was better.

And they give you a lot. Flat fries that accompanied the meal were pretty unique--something between a potato chip and a cottage fry. Wifey loved her Prime Rib, and did their 'special,' which is herb rubbed and quickly seared on both sides, which makes it like an end cut. Very tender, and perfectly pink inside like she prefers. Our server Abby was on it; very friendly and attentive in a bustling resto on one of the hottest days of the year. Heck, she even talked me into Boston Cream Pie, which is rather unusual because I don't have a sweet tooth.

I stopped by **Izzy's Comfort Kitchen** recently after seeing quite a bit of buzz about it online…read more While there is a lot to like about this spot, my experience felt a bit like a "social media vs. reality" situation. **The Atmosphere & Service** The ambiance is inviting and cozy, though the restaurant itself is on the **smaller side**, so it can feel a bit tight during peak hours. That said, the **service was fantastic**. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were properly taken care of throughout the meal. **The Food** I ordered the **Peach Bourbon BBQ Burger**. I loved the concept--the sweetness of the peach really complemented the savory beef beautifully. However, the execution fell a little short. There were only **two slices of peach** on the entire burger, and it was significantly **lacking sauce**. Between the minimal toppings and the lack of BBQ sauce, the burger ended up being quite dry. The sides didn't quite help the moisture issue, either. The **fries were very thin and overcooked**, giving them a crunchy, dry texture that made the overall meal feel a bit parched. Izzy's is a solid spot with great people, but I can't help but feel it might be a bit **overhyped by social media**. The flavors are definitely there, but for the price and the reputation, I was hoping for a bit more generosity with the toppings and better execution on the sides. Worth a try if you're in CDA, but maybe ask for extra sauce on the side!

The positive first-the food was delicious and our server was nice…read more The not so positive-we placed our order and didn't get our food for an hour! They were busy but not overly busy. People who came in after us got their food and left before we were even served. Our server kept checking on our food and apologized for how long it took. There's no need to get upset at her, as she's not running the kitchen, but the manager should have seen how long we sat without food. Also, it was extremely cold in the restaurant to the point of being miserable, especially sitting and waiting that long. When we walked outside, it was much warmer than inside and was only 62 degrees outside. People don't want to be miserably cold while enjoying a meal, or anticipating getting a meal. Several people went to get jackets out of their vehicles while we sat there. Like I said, once we got our food, it was great but the wait was absolutely ridiculous.
