When we left with our to go orders( now) , walking through the bar area, I noticed EVERYONE had their food and drinks in front of them! Hmmmm....

When we walked in, we stood directly at the counter and waited for someone to acknowledge us or give us instructions on where to sit. We were met with absolute silence. Then, a waitress muttered "find a seat, just find anywhere" without even looking at me or addressing me directly. We went and sat down, but no one ever brought us menus or came over to help us. We just sat there waiting to be acknowledged. Right after us, a white family walked in. They were immediately greeted warmly, told exactly where to sit, and provided with menus right away. It seemed very clear that you are only treated with respect and served at this establishment if you are white. Because the staff completely ignored us and refused to give us basic service, we ultimately walked out. Driving through from another state, it is incredibly disappointing to face this kind of treatment. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and equal hospitality. We will never be back and highly recommend travelers find somewhere else to eat.

Service was initially slow, our server was gabbing with another table for a while. But once she realized we were her table, things picked up. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It's that industrial chicken salad with only celery and the meat is pulverized into a paste. Very bland. The potato salad is reportedly homemade, but also very smooth and strong mustard flavor. Not great. The turkey bacon melt was a bit better. The grilled sourdough bread on both sandwiches was really good. And the pasta salad had a nice vinegar tang. It was actually really good. We found free parking about a block off the circle. Fairly quick in and out as we were driving through, so that was a plus.

The eggs were not poached, the toast was not toasted and got extremely soggy quickly, the hollandaise sauce was way too much and the taste was off. It was supposed to be served with Avacado and there was none (they did bring me some on the side) and a very sad amount of Goat Cheese. Also came with no sides at almost $15. Very sadly very disappointed as I was looking forward to this meal.

While I was deciding, my eyes wandered over to the baked goods (this is absolutely a trend with me) and I saw a peanut butter pretzel cookie....whaaaaat? No way this wasn't going in my belly! Then I glanced over to the drink case and I saw....Topo Chico! In Murphysville, IL?!? This place stands out for curating the best in a small town. Now I'm really excited for my lunch! And it did not disappoint. The red pepper soup was roasty and hearty, definitely a good choice for this chilly weather. And the strawberry salad was fresh and refreshing. Does that make sense? The ingredients were so fresh and crisp - sweet strawberries in January I'd no small feat! - but it was light and hit the perfect note as an accompaniment to the red pepper soup. And that cookie? Do I even need to tell you how delicious it was? I didn't even offer my friend a bite. I ate the whole thing and I'm not ashamed. So good! A delicious lunch and nice respite in a small Illinois town.

I was interested in trying their baked treats, and upon my visit, I found exactly what I wanted to get. The menu variety was good. They offer cookies, pastries, breakfast meals, lunch meals like sandwiches, etc. The pricing was reasonable. I got a Pink Cookie (Southern IL specialty), a Chocolate Chunk Walnut cookie, a Date Walnut cookie, something called an Orange Chipper (a type of cookie), as well as an Italian sandwich (called Bakery Sub on the menu). The Date Walnut cookie was my top favorite. It was soft and also crunchy where the walnuts were. The Orange Chipper was my next favorite, followed by the Pink Cookie (iced frosting shortbread cookie). The sandwich was loaded and had a good flavor. The deli meats (ham, and salami) were fresh. The service was good. This was a gem of a find for me and I would go back there again when visiting Carbondale. Definitely recommended.
