    An update to my 2024 review, as they have a new location and expanded menu options. I stopped in…read morelast week for breakfast and for this visit (more visits to come for sure) I had the Prime Rib Brekkie sandwich with a side of fruit. It was was even better than I imagined - one of those meals where after your first bite, you pause and say OMG to yourself. My wife had the Richard's Special. She selected regular cut bacon over thick cut, and also choose the cheesy hashbrowns as the potato option. I don't recall which bread she chose. She said it all tasted great, and had me taste the potatoes, but between the bacon & potatoes, it was on the greasier side (in case you are sensitive to that). I look forward to trying the Salmon Omelette, Beignets, Biscuits & Gravy and stuffed bagel for breakfast. Then several items from the lunch side.

    I'm obsessed with the vibes, very whimsical/hippie cute, dark colors with big windows. My friend…read moreand I had a girls lunch and we sat by the window and it just felt you were in a city, which is so nice! The lunch/brunch menu had a lot of great choices. I went with the avocado toast (not pictured as it was already gone ) and fruit (pictured). I was very excited that the fruit did not contain cantaloupe or honeydew. My friend got the Fargo special (pictured) which was 10/10, had the perfect crispiness on the bread and the taste was great. All in all, I suggest supporting this downtown eatery!

    We ate there at 6pm after parade and it was busy, but it only took 20 minutes to receive our food…read morewhich was not bad with it being busy due to Watemelon Days. The service of all the bartenders and wait staff was above and beyond 5 stars! I was seated where I could watch kitchen and I observed the 1 and only cook handle food without gloves (FDA recommends avoiding bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods) and boasted chicken is considered just that. There was a very bare simple menu so I ordered a cheeseburger and chips and he got the white chicken. I literally saw cook put the chicken in basket bare-handed and let my husband know that while he brought our order to window and I watch waitress bring over. My cheeseburger was well over-done as was the grilling of the bun which I ate some due to not having eaten and didn't want to wait longer, but the chicken was so overcooked that you could barely use fork to peel away a bite on the breast. When he finally got a bite, it was so dry that even dipping in ranch didn't help. The outside was very dark considered to other places we've gotten chicken from. Now, I was very impressed with the service compared to prior years at watermelon days, but the food was much better. I did see staff going back to try to help, so bonus stars for that. My husband did talk to owner who was very understanding and seems to really care about her bar and restaurant, and had 2 breasts remade but they ended up to be the same way unfortunately. Maybe for bigger crowds, have more people in kitchen the whole time so food is not overcooked for which should be discounted some to customers that do receive it that way. Next year we will eat at cafe or drive to Battle Lake before street dance.

    We ordered take-out chicken dinners based on the great reviews. It has been several years since we…read morehave eaten here and wanted to see how things with the new owners have changed. The new owners are very friendly and my husband spoke favorably of the changes inside. (He picked up the order.) Said it would be a really nice place to watch a game, etc. As to the food. The chicken was very moist and hot, but for us it was disappointing as to taste. A little bland for us. We kind of felt the same way about the potatoes. The coleslaw was fine but nothing special. Chicken places are a dime a dozen in the area and there are others that we prefer. But I could also see why this option would be preferable to some people. We still intend to try the place again and try some other things on the menu and perhaps watch a game.
