There were lots of things I wanted to try on the menu and opted for the southwest bowl. It had a bit too many crunchy noodles on the top but other than that, it was really good and a nice refreshing summer dinner. Huge fresh avocado was a plus. Loved the glass my Sauvignon Blanc was served in. There was one server for all the tables and she did a great job. Impressive that she took our 8 drink orders without taking notes and got them all right. Great stop.

My breakfast sandwich was really really good but the potato's were honestly incredible. The crisp they got on the outside while remaining soft on the inside was perfect!

Suggested different things on the menu . The biggest highlight, though, is the seafood. PLATE has really embraced variety, consistently updating their seafood offerings to keep things fresh and exciting. Their rotating selections ensure there's always something new to try, from creative takes on classic dishes to bold, flavorful combinations that showcase their commitment to quality ingredients.

They have massive TVs all around the restaurant to make sure you won't miss any action. They had NBA, NHL, WWE, and other sports shows. The atmosphere was great with all the TVs but the live music was an added bonus. You have the option to sit in the bar area or at a table/booth. We had 6 people and were seated immediately. The food and drinks were decently priced. I got the ounce of pain burger and it was underwhelming. It was okay but it was too saucy/greasy and the bun fell apart. The fries were tasty though! The server was fast and attentive. We couldn't have asked for better service. Overall a great place to come and watch the game!

They had some nice lunch specials but none of them caught my eye so I had the chicken taco pizza. It tasted fresh and that's exactly what I needed. It was served with sour cream and salsa and topped with lettuce, tomato and olives. The other 2 in my group got the lunch walleye sandwich with chips and the avocado chicken sandwich (she normally always gets a burger). They both said it was ok. I was the happiest with mine. We also shared onion rings and they were decent.

They comped us our first game because of some technical issues and we used the time we were waiting to partake in some very good cheese curds from the happy hour menu. After bowling we had dinner - a Mega-roni pizza, a VooDoo burger, and a Garage BYO bacon burger. Probably the best bowling ally food I have had. The server told me about their Sunday BYO Bloody Mary Bar - sounded awesome and may have to come back to check it out.

We were there for breakfast two different times. First time, I had the lobster eggs Benedict and it was fantastic. The second time I had a short rib, Benedict which was equally amazing. My wife and I fell in love with the staff here. They were great, and Sarah, Mike the GM, Lyndsey and her sister Liv, were just great people to get to know more. The ambience is fantastic and we will claim a certain booth that we've now had twice. It's called the Better Half because they are the wives of another business nearby but I will say, having experienced both, the Better Half is better.

Yum, yum, yum. Gosh, these guys are good…read more We went with a group of five for Sunday brunch/lunch, and everyone liked their food and drinks. My wife and I have been here many times, and there's a reason we keep coming back. That said, not everything is perfect. The food here is consistently great. I could go into more detail, but we've had so many different dishes over the years that it's hard to list them all. For my own notes, I had the Short Rib Melt this time and absolutely loved it. I wanted more! The Burrata Bruschetta was amazing too. It was way too expensive for only four small slices of toast, but it was delicious. We've also really enjoyed their French Toast in the past, along with several other menu items. The cheesy hashbrowns are usually amazing, but there were something off about ours this time. Maybe we just got a bad batch...? Their coffee drinks are also very good. A few people at our table ordered lattes and said they were much better than an average latte. They were also very large. One thing that's both good and bad is that they change and rotate their menu fairly often. On the plus side, you can visit and try something new that you may not have seen there before. On the downside, some of our favorite dishes are no longer on the menu, which can be disappointing. The same thing seems to happen with their specials and deals. They used to have a Smashburger special, one day of the week, but I don't think that's offered anymore. I also remember several other specials they used to run that are no longer available. There have been a few times when that has kept us from visiting. Their hours are also weird at times, so I strongly recommend checking the hours on their website before making plans. They may not be open when you expect them to be. For example, we've wanted to go there for dinner several times on a Monday or Tuesday, but they aren't open. Kitchen closes early several other days. It was extremely busy when we arrived around 10:50 to 11:00 a.m. on a Sunday. We were honestly surprised by how packed it was, and there was a wait for a table. Just an FYI if you're planning to visit during a busy brunch time. Also, in case the owner is reading this, using AI-generated images on your website and inside the restaurant is a massive turnoff. I don't want to see AI-generated artwork on a restaurant's website or hanging inside the restaurant itself. That is an easy star deduction for me. The design and style of the restaurant are really nice. It has more of an open concept setup, so it can get a little loud, but for some reason it never seems to get as loud as you might expect. If you go during a slower time, it can be very relaxing. Overall, I really like the look and feel of the restaurant. I feel like I say this in 95% of my Yelp reviews at this point, but I'm going to keep saying it. The prices aren't great, especially compared with the portion sizes. I won't spend too much time on this, but if you're looking for a budget-friendly restaurant, this probably isn't the place. The service was mostly great. They were clearly very busy, but our waiter never refilled my water, and he didn't come back often enough for me to ask. He also didn't know what soups they had for the day, and instead of offering to go check, he just said he "didn't know" and my friend ordered something else for their side. Not a huge deal, but maybe a coachable moment. Since the restaurant was so packed, it also took quite a while to get our food and drinks. That was understandable considering how busy they were, but it's worth knowing if you're in a hurry. Overall, we really love The Better Half. The food is great, the coffee drinks are better than average, the restaurant has a nice and relaxing atmosphere, the staff is friendly, and there's usually something new to try. The higher prices, weird hours, rotating menu, discontinued specials, AI-generated artwork, and occasional slow service keep it from being perfect, but the great food and overall experience will keep us coming back, just not as often as some other places.
