Our meals were served quickly even though it was quite busy & no complaints on the food. The only possible negative about the restaurant is the parking situation. Its street parking & we had to park about 1.5 blocks away but other than that it was everything we expected for a nice meal.

Food is amazing service is even better. When they're busy you have to wait but it's worth it.read more

If, however, you're looking for a true greasy, oily, buttery spoon, well, you've found it. The location is a little café attached to a gas station. There are tables (though closed during coronavirus) and a simple menu. I think nearly everything is fried (chicken, fish, potatoes, mushroom, etc) except the breakfast options. One plus is that the location is right next to the hospital and cancer center. It can be a godsend reprieve to walk across the road to grab a drink or just some fresh air. It's simple country gas station café at its most essential.

There were several good vegetarian options available to us. We ended up ordering: - Avocado toast: this is an interesting take on avocado toast, it includes pico de gallo, but was really, really tasty. It came with two eggs too. - Power Greens Breakfast Bowl: very good option! The flavor was great, the toppings were fresh, and the eggs were a nice protein addition. - Garden salad: a HUGE salad with plenty of chunky veggies. The portions are quite large. We ended up with leftovers, which worked out well for us. If we have to be back in Bolivar again, we'll definitely be repeat customers.

It's basically a diner in cafe style. The food was great and so was the dessert. Waiting staff was…read moreattentive and friendly.
