It is super hard to decide! The ladies at the counter were so kind and patient with me as I kept going back-and-forth as to which tree I wanted most. I ended up with a fig pastry, and my mom got the cream cheese danish with raspberries pastry. My dad got the cinnamon bun. My mom and I split each of ours so we could try both. I have to say, if you like sweet, the fig one is for you. The raspberry isn't as sweet and I actually like that one better. No matter what you choose, you can't go wrong! This is definitely a must stop for your list! Bon appétit!

We were in the LYH for my son's wedding (congratulations, Kitwana!), and everyone kept saying, "I'm going to My Duke's!" I figured the locals knew best--and they were absolutely right.

First time here and don't know why…read moreI hadn't stopped in earlier all the times I've visited downtown. hubby got the mocha, and I got the Stag. Both were very tasty and we enjoyed them, although a little pricy. Even though we got it to go, we did stick around a few minutes to check the vibe. It reminds me of college - very casual and laid back. Like a giant living room with a mix of upholstered and not furniture. Plan to return to try some food.

I arrived just…read morea few minutes after they opened hoping to have a quick fresh breakfast before starting my day. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The bacon was cold, the bread was cold, the grits were not ready. Even after my waitress bringing out new "hot" bread, it was still not good. It didn't seem toasted. Just hot. The service was good, but the kitchen was clearly struggling. Not sure if this was an off day, or if it's always this bad.

It's next to a small playground and new amphitheater, so I'm sure this place gets quite busy on weekends.

So there were a few good things and a few things that to be improved…read more Pros - It's in a great location. Terrific ambiance. We got seated much more quickly than we thought. One person in our party said her salad had the best dressing she's ever had. The fried pickles were good. The shrimp was good. One bartender was good. Cons - We walked in and basically weren't sure what to do. There was a woman at we thought was a hostess stand, but she never said anything to us. We finally asked if we needed to check in with her to get seated. We did. But it was kind of weird. One bartender was awful. Never made eye contact. Wouldn't take any orders. Acted like she wanted to be anywhere else. I thought the Caesar salad was ok. It came with lacquered salmon. I would have loved the salmon, but not lacquered. It couldn't be made to order. Ok fine. I ordered it the way it was described. There was nothing lacquered about that salmon. It also was shredded on top of the salad and was maybe two ounces. That's ridiculous. Our server wasn't very helpful and not very attentive. I'm sure many people have had great experiences there, but I'm not sure I would take the time to go back.

We revisited for our breakfast meal and it was so worth getting up at 6:00 am. The view is spectacular. My omelet was made to order so I called it a corrupted veggie and my spouse two eggs, sausage and a muffin. The coffee was very fresh as was the sunshine even while outside was 20 degrees we were warm and toasty. Tyler was a delight, pleasant and full of smiles. She made our morning as much as the sunshine outside.

The decor is very nice, casual setting. Brunch menu available. My son and our daughter-in-law and my 18 month old grandson. Immediately given the choice of table with added highchair. We had 2 chicken and waffle plates and 1 shrimp and grits. $16.50 My chicken and waffles were acceptable, but I've had better. Chicken tenders seemed to be overly battered, diced potatoes were fine. $14.50 a plate. Service was good, did not have to wait for anything. Ambiance once again, very nice, clean, no smells.

On top of that the waitress flips the tip screen and you feel obliged to comply with 17 per cent tax. The use of your credit card added another tax food: the she crab soup was too thick and greasy.

The grilled potato's so, so good, paired with the sausage it was the perfect amount of salt. I also got a side of sautéed mushrooms, you cannot go wrong with that combo if you love all of these things. The chef really cares for his craft. The vibe of the Acorn Hill Lodge And Bistro is absolutely adorable. Neon light sign in the window, Christmas lights wrapped around supports. Not too bright, not too dark. Again, perfect for early morning! They have more amenities and businesses on sight I hope to check out in the future. No photos, I ate it all too fast. Sorry, not sorry. 10/10! Get those Pancakes!

The waitress never apologized or explained. I had to ask for a box and the check because she was just looking at me without saying anything. Also the food wasn't fantastic either.

For waiting 45 minutes the meal wasn't anything special. Im giving it a 2 star because the food wasn't disgusting and the environment was relaxing and laid back, oh and the friendly black cat when we walked in was cute.
