We arrived here with a large group, and the service was very good considering the circumstances. They kept our drink refills flowing, and hiccups were minimal. We did have one person whose plate was delayed, and they ordered a cold sandwich. Apart from that though, we had no issues with our food and the staff was very friendly. This is a solid cafe style option in the heart of Anderson. I'd also note that they have ample parking. So, if you're traveling through and pulling a trailer or driving an RV, this is a good option for you to make a stop and get some vittles!

Let's start with In store ordering is the only way to order from them. The food is really really good, fresh, fairly quick and moderately priced. It's worth the cost for what you get. Ordering Togo can have mistakes and ordering for delivery, well continue reading. Now.... I Would not recommend ordering from their 'From the Hearth' app. When you download it and order from it it seems as though it's an app they monitor and delivery would be private. It's DoorDash that the 'ordering/payment/delivery it actually goes through. Here's where it gets frustrating. On DoorDash app when an order is incorrect you can file a claim and get a refund. You cannot do that with this app, nor is there anyone to help you through From the Hearth side and it's missing the DoorDash side. I've done several home deliveries through the app and mostly items were correct, a few times fries or sauces, added ingredient's to a dish we're missing and we'd than have to go to the store to get them, which is manageable but the experience I'd like to really share is: I made a $175 order to feed my family and friends that were in town. It took over 2.5hrs to finally get delivered to us, it even got delivered to the wrong house and when trying to get it figured out through From the Hearth staff they treated me as if I was lying and would not remake the food nor refund me. The food was literally "missing" and I was told I had to go through the subsidiary (DoorDash) that's when I learned it was not their app and they had no responsibility once it left their store. But really for me, It was the way the From the Hearth staff responded to the incident that truly baffles me and makes me not eat there anymore. I use to frequent the business several times a month, this was extremely rude and made me very disappointed. I would NOT recommend them based on their customer service by this experience.

Both were good, and the raspberry lemon drop was so delicious that I ended up having two! The service was quick and efficient, which was much appreciated after a long day of traveling. Add in the easy parking, good food, and a patio that welcomes dogs, and it made for a great dinner stop.

The taste was just not there. On a separate note I can't believe a nice semi fine dining location does not provide fresh ice tea. I'm sorry but, the ice tea that comes out of a drink station is syrupy and has bad crap. Rather fresh ice tea is actually refreshing. At least next time I know to bring my own ice tea in.

The place specialized in their really delicious, freshly squeezed orange juice. The restaurant has a distinct orange colored theme to it and seems like it's well loved in the area. The service here felt a little rushed and not always super helpful. I had some questions about the menu, but the server seemed a bit impatient like she had other things to do. I didn't appreciate this, but sometimes people have harder days than others. The food here was really good! I had the Arizona Enchilada Omelette, which had carnitas smothered with tomatillo sauce. The carnitas were really tender and super flavorful in that sauce. The Orange juice was so good and so refreshing. Perfect for the 107 degree day outside. I would come here just for that orange juice. I also want to mention how much I like that you can get a pancake here instead of toast. The pancake was. Like having dessert after the entree. So glad I stopped here for breakfast, but I do wish the service could've been nicer.
