I came here for a birthday brunch on a Sunday morning. We were able to find street parking without…read moremuch trouble, which was a nice surprise. The restaurant is fairly small with only a handful of tables, so I can see it getting quite busy on weekends. Fortunately, when we arrived, there were a few tables available and we were seated right away. I originally planned to order the Eggs Benedict, but when I saw the Turkish Eggs on the menu, I couldn't resist trying them instead. The toast was one of my favorite parts of the meal it was perfectly crisp, buttery, and paired beautifully with the eggs. One of the poached eggs was a bit overcooked, but the other was cooked perfectly with a delicious runny yolk. Overall, I really enjoyed my brunch and left feeling happy and satisfied.

Service was great, everyone was attentive and seemed happy to work there. We got a couple cocktails to start. The banana bread old fashioned is amazing. My wife got the pulled pork tacos and I got the prosciutto eggs benedict. Both were amazing. Pulled pork is very tender and the benedict was buttery delicious. We will definitely be going back.

Came in on a Tuesday around 11:30 AM for lunch. We were really hoping that we beat the crowds…read morebecause we usually don't go here anymore only because we don't like to wait and wait to be seated and then wait some more. What can I say? We were really hungry and really wanted their food and they have a nice variety on their menu. So we waited. It didn't even seem like there were that many people waiting or on the waiting list. Nonetheless, we waited probably 20 minutes in the entry. They called our name and seated us. They have a lot of tables set up throughout their space. I see there is seating upstairs but not sure when/if they seat up there. Their restrooms are now gender neutral and one toilet. That's nice! There was a changing table in the one I visited. The server came around within about five minutes and when we ordered our food, It took about another 20 to 25 minutes. I had time to shop the whole adjacent store, make a purchase and still waited awhile for our food. This is always a period of time that feels like it takes forever because by now you're starving and have looked at all of their sweets in the display case while in the waiting area and smelled all the cinnamon scented candles and the food being prepared in the kitchen. My Linda's brother-in-law scramble was delicious. I opted for the bacon sprinkled. It didn't seem like 4 dollars worth of bacon and there's plenty of flavor in that scramble otherwise. $23.54 with the bacon sprinkles. My hubby had the country biscuits and gravy, and he said it was good. $17.79. My husband did mention that he was disappointed that the country biscuit and gravy didn't automatically come with their breakfast potatoes. You have to choose- eggs OR potatoes. He ordered a side of breakfast potatoes, and it was a small bowl. $6.50. We shared the French toast and took most of that to go as well as some of the hash. $14.99. It was plain. We both had water to drink and had to ask for a refill. That all came up to $68.47 plus tip. The receipt says, "If you pay cash, your total may be rounded per this location's payment policy." I didn't see what that policy says.

Calico Cupboard is one of those places that you NEED to go to when you're in town…read more When you get there, you just sign in yourself at the stand which is a good system so no one has to check you in when they're already pretty busy. While you're waiting you can go to the shop down the stairs or go to the dessert area right next to the waiting area to get some great desserts. Last time i was there I saw frosted cream cheese sugar cookies, and pies, and more. When you get seated there are so many great food options, lots of options, same with drinks. They are only open until 3:30 pm so be sure to manage time well. And don't expect an empty place, it's usually populated. Tight space, so scoot in those chairs as far as you can. Staff were laid back, and nice. When they're busy make sure to be patient with the staff, they're dealing with tons of other orders as well.

It took a surprisingly long time to receive our food. I appreciated that when I asked if I could get a pancake in place of the toast, she said yes. I didn't appreciate the surprise extra charge for it. The pancake was, however, the best part of my breakfast. The corned beef hash wasn't that good. The hash browns were scarce and overcooked. My husband's were better. The eggs were cooked perfectly. No pics this time.

Hopefully the wait for food at the table isn't as long normally because if it is that's ridiculous. 2 coffees & a switch to water later our food finally arrived. Generous portion of potatoes, the corn beef was delicious and of course the biscuits was massive!

Sadly, the food was mediocre, at best. I imagine, as a business, they're also wasting so much money on portion sizes. Huge meals do not equate to quality. I really wanted to love it because it's a family restaurant but there was a lot left to be desired. Cons: - The majority of our experience was spent waiting - The staff seemed confused and very overwhelmed - The food was boring and didn't look good on the plate (I got the biscuits and gravy, my friend got chicken fried steak) Pros: - The staff was very friendly - Bathroom was clean - The freshly squeezed orange juice was incredible - Everyone seemed to be trying their best, I think the system just needs a lot of work

Regulars clearly know each other and the staff, which you don't really see much anymore. Refreshing. Service matched that energy -- warm and good throughout. I went with my go-to order, the chicken fried steak. It's not the best I've had -- the steak itself had more of a ground meat texture than a proper cut, which was a little different. But it was enormous and absolutely hit the spot. The biscuit on the side was solid too. My husband got the ham and said it was juicy and well done. Not a destination spot necessarily, but a great find if you're in the area and want a hearty, unpretentious brunch.

We only had to wait a few minutes - 5 minutes maybe - before they called us in to be seated. Once seated we were served water and then they began taking drink orders. Since we were there for Sunday Brunch we waited a bit for the stragglers to arrive before ordering our meals. Service in general was excellent. Very timely without hovering. I ordered their Double Bloody Mary, a drink they are well known for around these parts. It's a drink and a meal all in one! The Bloody Mary was decent. Not the best I've ever had, but still tasty. Included, on skewers were two small biscuit sliders with egg, ham and cheese, three sausage meatballs, two large bacon wrapped potato chunks, a couple of pickled peppers, a chunk of apple, two blue cheese stuffed olives, a chunk of cheese, ham and salami. It also contained a big celery and carrot stick. It was supposed to have a dill pickle spear but I guess they forgot that or ran out. With it you get your choice of vodkas. I chose Tito's. This was all served in a quart size Mason Jar! Everyone else ordered other items and they all seemed to enjoy not only their drinks but their food as well. Salmon Scramble was really enjoyed by the son in law and stuffed French toast was great according to my wife. Several ordered the Breakfast Burrito in a Bowl and enjoyed it. They have an extensive breakfast menu available for brunch so a second visit will be in order. All in all it was a nice way to celebrate a birthday and eat brunch. Well worth a visit.

I was told confidently and on the websites home page that this was a tree nut free facility, and definitely will not be purchasing again due to concern for dishonesty in what is in their products.

I ordered the country benedict, which was good! It took over 45-60 min to get our food, but hey, under seasoned is better than over seasoned! Staff is disorganized, sure tables are full, but the kitchen is so unbelievably slow with getting food out, how could you be so disorganized? Plus, even if the food is ready, THEY FORGET pieces of your order. We won't be coming back, cheers.

I ordered an Eggs Benedict and the poached eggs were over cooked! When they e waitress finally came to our table to see how our plates were I was already half done with my meal, but to her credit did bring a replacement poached egg even though the rest of my breakfast was cold. Service was very limited that I had to ask twice to get a cup of coffee refilled (cups are small) I will also say when we entered the restaurant the hostess did not greet us or even smile to make us feel welcomed, just pointed us to the dining room. Cleanliness was another issue , starting with the white front door that has blackened hand prints but I have said enough to be disappointed again I will say the menu had a variety of choices but the prices are higher than what is reflected on their web sight!

I noticed a bunch of slates with beer names and spotted a cider from Terramar advertising a Strawberry Rhubarb cider and decided I wanted to try that flavor combination. It was sweet with a little tart aftertaste. For my meal I opted for the Porterhouse Cheese Curds as an appetizer and the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich with fries for my main dish. The cheese curds were nicely battered and fried and the housemade ranch was a nice accompaniment to the cheese curds. The spicy crispy chicken sandwich was only crispy on the outside where the batter was applied! The rest of the chicken was tender and juicy. So tasty . I didn't think the sandwich was all that spicy, but that would be my fault because I eat jalapeno like candy and routinely use habanero hot sauce on my food. Even though I didn't think it was all that spicy I did enjoy the flavor and crunch of the sandwich. There was a bunch of steak fries served with my sandwich. Excellent fries, but way too many for me to eat them all. I think I probably ate only 1/4 of them!! I was very tempted to order a slice of the chocolate cheesecake with housemade fudge for dessert, but I was stuffed by my appetizer and meal.
