Definitely worth checking out.

I got a cold brew and it was pretty good. The inside is full of books and art along with tons of spots to sit and enjoy. I love all the mixed tables and chairs!! It looks like they stole all the kitchen tables:chairs from my childhood. With soft blend of music and a TV playing to keep the mood engaging. Everyone was there for something but yet again maybe they were there to find something. Either way, I am sure you can find it here. One concern is that it is a little pricey but you get one trip around the sun. And, since they played Tom Petty, then there is not much to worry about anyhow!!

We came in from out of town to celebrate my cousin's graduation. A total of three tables were…read moreoccupied. My aunt called on two separate occasions to make reservations for our larger group. We walked in on the night of my cousin's graduation to celebrate a huge milestone. We walked in and the hostess stated she didn't have our reservation, another lady who was either the owner or manager came up hot and bothered and was EXTREMELY rude. On a hospitality level I give her a -50. She very rudely stated she didn't have our reservation and continued to be awful as we tried to clarify that we had made a reservation. Even if she could have been nice and apologetic about the reservation misunderstanding, I wouldn't have stayed to eat here and support this business. People need to learn how to treat other humans nicely. This lady was NOT nice, one of the rudest restaurant encounters I've ever had.

Anytime there's a cute cafe serving up tasty breakfast foods, you can count me in! From the great…read moreservice to dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, the experience here was great. We unknowingly arrived 30 minutes before close, but the staff was super nice and welcomed us in with no rush. It was still pretty full inside and made for a nice, chatty place to go with family or friends. The menu definitely had something for everyone- all of the options looked great, so it was really hard to choose what to order! We started with coffee before ordering the garden frittata and the biscuits and gravy. The coffee was actually very good- they had a seasonal hazelnut flavor that I really enjoyed. I was expecting the frittata to be fluffy like a quiche, but it was more like a circular shaped veggie scramble. It was pretty standard, but definitely hit the spot. The sourdough bread served alongside was outstanding, however. It tasted super fresh and very homemade. The biscuits and gravy were very flavorful and not too greasy. Given the portions and quality, the price is very reasonable. Would definitely return and recommend making a visit!

TLDR: Basically Denny's…read more MENU: Breakfast seems to be the happening thing here, especially brunch on Sundays. They have your typical breakfast fare in the morning, and diner style burgers, fried chicken, and whatnot during the day. FOOD QUALITY: Good, but very basic. I believe most of the items are made up of factory ingredients thrown together. For example I went here for brunch with a friend recently and got the barbacoa bowl - the spuds were the frozen par-fried kind, the cheese sauce was out of a can, etc. I also had the nutella waffle, which was a frozen waffle (kinda soggy, rather than crispy) with literally a squeeze of nutella and a sliced banana. Their stuff is basic to the point that you could make most of the menu at home in less time than it takes to drive up there and wait for your order. MENU FAVORITES: I've only been here twice, once for a burger (which was pretty good - I'd say a contender for the best restaurant burger in Kirksville), and once for brunch, so there's a lot of things I haven't tried. The stuff I did have was satisfying, and the price is fair. MENU FAILS: N/A. FRONT OF HOUSE SERVICE: Staff is friendly and attentive. KITCHEN SERVICE: The food is basic, but done well. Your scrambled eggs will be cooked through but still moist. Your pancakes will be nicely browned and fluffy. COMPETITION: The closest comparison for breakfast stuff would be Rosie's Northtown Cafe, and Diner 54 is definitely better. For burgers and fried chicken, the closest comparison would be Maxwell's, and I'd say they're about the same, quality-wise. ATMOSPHERE: The last time I went was for brunch on a Sunday and the place was PACKED! (Meaning there was a short wait, the restaurant was noisy, etc.) Otherwise, clean, comfortable, and cheery.

The onion rings looked really bad, but I guess they were OK and most of the food was average. The service was good. We got our food pretty quickly and it was a quiet little restaurant.
