My son had the meat lovers skillet and it was a generous portion. My Reuben was delicious but I noticed it was sliced deli meat-like. It came with a side salad or soup. I chose the salad, iceberg lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. I asked for blue cheese, which came in a little capped container labeled BC. It was really yellow and kind of gelatin like. I decided to pass on it as I'm used to which blue cheese and didn't want to risk getting sick. The coffee was a fabulous light roast, not at all bitter. I was able to enjoy it black. The prices seemed a bit high for my sandwich. The bill for 2 lunches, coffee and a soda came to roughly $35. I saw they do charge 3% furnishing a credit card so I just left cash on the table. The food was okay but honestly, we could have eaten at Texas Roadhouse (early menu) for about the same price and I would have had leftovers for the next day. Even though the food was okay, we probably won't be back due to the value of the meal.

Located across the river from Maine St, this quaint old house turned restaurant is worth the stop…read more There is on street and public parking available. I would recommend making reservations as it was consistently busy. We opted for seats at the bar to avoid an hour wait. This place is tiny, so it would not be ideal for large groups. It would be difficult to accommodate someone who could not navigate stairs (there are both stairs to enter as well as a staircase for most of the dining space). Servers were friendly and helpful, the right amount of attentive. The food came out quickly. They offer light lunch, brunch, breakfast fare, with specials, and baked goods from Lola. A popular special is a homemade pop tart, which has rotating flavors (today was blueberry with lemon frosting). We opted for French Toast, pork belly, and the country skillet. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. All around a great find.

It's also located inside of an old bank, so we wanted to check this one out. We were seated immediately and received great service. The waitress was new, but already familiar with the menu. She made recommendations and was very attentive. We started with the pretzel and I can't wait for you to see the photo of how huge this thing is! We all three ate some of it, and there was enough for two people left once we were all done. It's massive! For the entree, I had the chicken quesadillas, my husband had the salmon bowl, and my son had the French dip.

No problem, a chance to have a couple old fashioneds and get some local tips from the bar lady. My wife enjoyed her soup, and we shared a decent caesar-like salad (trying to recall from photos).

By 6:15 folks were lined up at the door waiting to order food and tables were filling up. There's no table service so be prepared to line up and order at the kitchen counter. Good selection of food with bbq ribs on Friday and Saturday nights. Our orders: 1/2 rack ribs with ribbon fries and coleslaw. Verdict: excellent. Tender ribs, 5 meaty bones. Heavy rub spicing and you can get extra bbq sauce on the side. Ribbon fries and slaw are both good. Taking home 2 ribs for lunch. My wife has flatbread pepperoni pizza. Always good. 8 squares served on a "paddle." Nice and cheesy with one slice pepperoni on each square. Plenty in the serving, taking home 1/2 the pizza so it is shareable unless you are a big eater.
