I checked out Stag Cafe today. And I HONESTLY will not be returning. I walked in, Wasn't spoken to even though (I think was one of the owners) was at the front talking with someone, not a simple acknowledgment or anything. A gal walked up and asked if I was going to order Togo or eat in. I had the tiny human with me, I said eating in and then preferred to sit inside. She sat me right next to the front door and told her I have someone else coming. She moved us into the cafe area with more chairs. Before we moved, I asked about a high chair. They don't have any by the way. (So, strike one for being a place I can frequent since there isn't seating options for kiddos.) I was sat for more than 10 minutes (Tori had time to walk over from across the street and sit down and look over the menu) before we were asked if we were ready to order. (Never took our drink order) So we ordered our food and our waters... from the tap. In that time, I walked up to the font and asked about WiFi for my daughters iPad. No free WiFi, you have to log into your own spectrum account and you get a "free trial" which is only 30 minutes, so I just handed her my phone to watch and she played games that didn't need WiFi. T got soup and a sandwich, I got shrimp and grits and el got a kids grilled cheese. I was shocked to read that the kids grilled cheese came with 2 sandwiches so I jumped on it. if she didn't eat both then that is extra for later. We waited over 30 minutes for our food. (If we would have used that free trial WiFi, we would have been charged for WiFi time because of this crazy wait time) All of this food could quite literally have come out in 7-10 minutes. Tori didn't receive half her stuff The kids grilled cheese came out and the owner questioned the server on the menu and almost took the second sandwich. I reminded her that is what it said on the menu. My food didn't come. Another 5 or so minutes go by and I get my food. It was supposed to come with salt, pepper, paprika, bacon, and cheese. I got plain grits (that were Luke warm at best) and the plainest looking shrimp in a bowl. It's 15.99 on their menu. I was expecting something spectacular. I waited because we were never given silver ware. Finally the server brought it out. After that, I walked back up to the front told them I hate to send my food back but I opened a menu and asked them to remake it. At this point I am waiting on my food. T had to go back to work, so she left with over half her stuff in a Togo box... Eleanor ate almost both sandwiches. My food comes out and I am 99 percent sure that they gave me the same bowl and just put the seasonings on top, sprinkled less than an oz of cheese on it, topped it with under cooked bacon and set it out. It was not hot the cheese wasn't even in the slightest melting. And I was highly disappointed in the service I received. I go to pay, and it's 28.89. Quite literally I was confused as it shouldn't be but about 23-24 bucks. (I know it's just 5 bucks... but I was still confused) They charge for tap water, yall. And they charged me for water for my daughter who had water FROM MY OWN HOUSE. I was told the owners were making comments about charging for water. Their menu states bottled water is 2.02 NOT TAP WATER. No one ever apologized, no one went out of their way to make it right. I was charged full price for food that I probably could have gotten better at waffle house. (Not hating on Waffle House here) But really, I was genuinely excited to come because they carry black rifle coffee. Now, I'll just avoid it and wait for the day BRC opens in that old Payless building. Also, they weren't busy. When I got in, we were the only table to be there. Then another family walked in they also waited a while for their food. I even cleaned up the mess my kid made off the floor because I knew if I wrote a review, that could have been a counter point. I was in the service industry for a long time and this is just not okay. We truly don't know to fix something unless we're told it's broken. .... Well Stag Cafe. It's broken. I'm all about showing grace and giving everything a fair shot. But I wouldn't want anyone I know go through this. This restaurant will NOT be there much longer. read more

I tried this place a few days ago and wasn't going to leave a review but decided to. I went there based on the pics she was posting of food on her Facebook page not realizing they were fake pics she had stolen off Google. I've never had venison so gave it a try. It was tasteless and dry and TOUGH and the biscuits were canned and cold. Since when does a restaurant charge for tap water? Isn't that against the law? The owner was quite rude and talks to her staff very condescending with the most irritating sounding, loud voice. Very unprofessional. I HAD hoped this place would be good as I can literally walk there from my house but I won't go back again and have told friends not to bother. This owner won't last long. Sad. read more

My wife and I stopped by to grab a coffee and food. I was glad to see they had burgers. I got the elk burger and my wife got the buffalo burger. Both were fantastic and the fries we even better. read more

Just FYI. Doesn't open til 8am now. Enjoyed an espresso from here last week, staff seemed friendly when I walked in but from what I'm reading... hopefully this place lasts, would love to see this area of town open more places and become a place to visit more often. read more

We had the Turkish coffee, a latte, broccoli cheddar soup, venison stew and tabblouleh(a Turkish salad). Every thing was delicious and the staff was very friendly! The restaurant is very clean and the decor is fitting for the theme! read more

See all

The worse customer service from the owner. She was already yelling at the cashier in front of customers. My food was not good or done. She got an attitude when I asked for a refund. The cashier kept apologizing for the owners behavior, which was not her fault. read more

My husband went to pick us up breakfast this morning. He is not the type to leave reviews, and certainly not the type to tell waiters they got his order wrong, the food doesn't taste good, etc.. So him texting me to tell me he's never going there again after our first time trying them is a shock. The Stag Cafe is fairly new, so all the employees are new. He said there is a woman going around yelling at all the staff to do something, when they are clearly running around trying to fulfill orders. He also said an employee was scolded for ringing his order up wrong, even though changes to the menu were made in their system that don't match the physical menus given to customers. We read reviews on FB that they don't treat their employees well, and it is starting to show in this new cafe. When I received my Frappuccino, there was no ice in it at all and it was 3/4 of the way full. The bottom of my biscuits and gravy were burnt, so I had to eat them quickly to not taste it. The gravy was pretty good. My husband did say when the gentleman in the back came out, he was kind. Maybe we will try them again when the chaos of their grand opening is over. read more
