    Kendall, the woman server, was so nice! She provided good service and the food was great. She said it was her first weekend and I couldn't even tell(i mean she told us, so we knew, but we couldn't tell) also the water is so good

    We love the big biscuit. No wait on weekdays. Chicken and waffle is amazing. Biscuits and gravy are consistently good. Omelette is big and flavorful. Service can be slow sometimes. Clean place, plenty of seating options

    Great food. Good service. Amazing menu. Warm and friendly. Very cold outside so the hot chocolate really hit the spot. We had the Southern Sunrise French toast and the Red, White and Blue waffle.

    This breakfast spot is super yummy and convenient for an early breakfast. They open at 6:30 which is when we arrived and there was hardly anyone there which equaled quick service. I can't say anything about how service would be when they are busy but when we were there the waitress was quick to help us and was very polite and friendly. The biscuits and gravy were so delicious. The place looks a little outdated but has some cool lighted signs inside that made the inside really cool. This is one of the only breakfast places in Lawrence KS but according to a friend we were visiting it is the best breakfast place in the area.

    The food here is excellent with the only problem being that their portions are huge! Which means, you'll leave with an extra meal or need to be carted to your vehicle (not so bad!).

    This review is for a lunch for two at the bar on a Monday in late May…read more service: Daytime bartender was good. Professional and helpful with menu. bar: It's a brewery and they have broad selection of house beer styles: lagers, wheat, porter, and IPAs. I drank their Skyz the Limit American IPA ($6.50 as of May 2026) and thought it was fine. food: wide ranging menu from flatbreads to plated entrees. There are lots of daily lunch, dinner, and happy hour specials. I had a classic burger with fries and it was OK ($17). My wife had a taco salad with shredded chicken and ground beef on the side and it was also OK ($12, since it was the daily special). details: Dramatic, soaring space with lots of signage. Plenty of surface parking right outside.

First off, major…read morewin that brunch is served until 1pm... perfect for those of us who don't exactly jump out of bed early. The vibe was fun and inviting, and it looks like they've carried over the magic from their super popular Christmas pop-up into a fresh, spring-inspired theme. It adds a really playful, seasonal touch without feeling overdone. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Our waitress was fantastic--super friendly, attentive without hovering, and offered great suggestions that we actually ended up loving. Tip: Get a basket of French fries for the table! Overall, it's one of those spots that works for just about anything--family outings, catching a game, bigger group gatherings, or even a more low-key, intimate meal. Great atmosphere, great service, and a place we'll definitely be back to.

I thought I had my cheeseburger place picked out and then I remembered I had to get groceries. Since I was going to HyVee for groceries anyway I decided to try the new Market Grille. Negative reviews be gone! This place was great! I ordered take out, though, and no alcohol. I ordered when I first went to the store and picked it up on the way home. I ordered my cheeseburger and it was cooked to perfection. I had several choices of cheeses and how can that ever be bad? My burger was cooked exactly as I ordered. It came fully dressed and it was delicious. I was given a variety of options for sides, too. I ordered a baked potato which was so yummy! There was no extra charge for the potato or the butter and sour cream I wanted. I also wanted scallions and I was informed there was an extra cost for those. I appreciated being kept in the loop as to prices. The potato was cooked perfectly through and it was very tasty. My food was not hot but that was my fault. I shopped too long and the food cooled. Lol. I Will definitely be a repeat customer. All the staff was nice, food was great and the prices reasonable. UPDATE: I've been back a few times and I am removing one star because of inconsistency in service. The food is terrific but the service gets lopsided. Orders incorrect, no silverware, waiter who was leaving his shift and checked us out to get his tip, just not being waited on at all. They truly need to work on these issues. Otherwise, the food and atmosphere are great.

To acquire the options on the prior large menu, you now will need to go into the supermarket, acquire what you want there, and bring it into the restaurant.

The restaurant itself is beautiful inside -- a cozy mix of rustic and modern that creates a really inviting atmosphere. Service started a little slow, though our waitress became more attentive once she came by. We mentioned it was our first visit, so I was a bit surprised there wasn't much guidance on the menu or any recommendations. At one point I asked about the two kinds of fries (I love fries!), and the explanation was simply that they were "fancy fries," without much detail on flavors or differences. We started with drinks and the Brussels sprouts appetizer. The sprouts were actually very good, with a nice balance in the sauce, and both the wine and sangria were refreshing. Unfortunately, dinner is where things went downhill. Our meals -- a steak and a gluten-free chicken sandwich -- took about 45 minutes to arrive, which felt long for relatively simple dishes. I had asked about the gluten-free bun since they can sometimes be dry, but didn't receive much insight beyond "it's gluten free," and sadly it was indeed very dry. The chicken itself lacked flavor, though the goat cheese cilantro sauce helped make it somewhat enjoyable. The fries looked homemade and delicious but arrived cold. The steak was cooked as requested, but it didn't have much flavor beyond the mushrooms on top. The broccoli side was tasty, and the potatoes were good, though it on a bed of Some kind of cheese sauce that wasn't quite to our liking. Overall, the space and gluten-free availability were promising, and the appetizers and drinks were enjoyable, but the food execution and service details didn't quite meet expectations for us this visit.
