    You need to at this to your bucket list of eateries. You can bring your own booze too since they do not sale alcohol. Don't let them stop you tho the food is absolutely amazing. One of the best date night places you can pick. Very professional staff and the ambiance is warm and comfy. I've been wanting to go back for some time now. It's def worth the drive.

    I would drive to Mentone just to eat at this restaurant!! Exceptional food & service, & loved the cute & eclectic interior! I also personally loved that I was able to buy a La Croix with my meal! I was also surprised at the fast speed of service. We went at 11:15 on a Saturday morning & had a 30 minute wait.

    This is a quirky little eatery with a limited menu and things to purchase inside. There are quite a few watercolor paintings and a few other knickknacks including homemade goats milk soap. My girlfriend got the tomato pie and a mixed green salad with blue cheese dressing. I got the grilled ham and cheese sandwich with bacon, served on sourdough bread, and a side of kettle chips. I also got a mixed green salad with blue cheese dressing. We got an appetizer of Heavenly Parmesan Dipping sauce which comes with nine yeast rolls for dipping. The appetizer of yeast rolls with the Parmesan dipping sauce was very good. The rolls were freshly baked, soft and the Parmesan dipping sauce was a cheesy delight. The mixed green salads were good. The greens appear to be locally sourced, were fresh and the blue cheese dressing was very good. My girlfriend really liked her tomato pie. She said it tasted good. I enjoyed the toasted ham and cheese sandwich with bacon. The bread was toasted really well and the bacon was very crispy. It comes topped with a honey mustard sauce which compliments the sandwich well. The kettle chips were good. Service was very good here and our server was very attentive. We also got pie to go. I got the peanut butter pie which came with a side of chocolate sauce. It was very good and tasty. It's very rich and glad I got it to go for later eating. My girlfriend got the buttermilk pie and said it was excellent. If you're visiting Mentone, I highly recommend you visit Wildflower Cafe. They were a little busy when we arrived. Lunch menu is 11:00 am to 3:00 pm on Friday and Saturday and no reservations are required. Dinner menu is 4:00 to 8:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and they highly recommend reservations. We arrived around 2:00 pm on a Friday. Recommended.

    Very relaxing, inviting...country/hippie vibes surrounded by nature. The food is homemade. There's live music. The building, itself has been standing since 1887....a very unique, historical joint you shouldn't pass up while in the area.

    My wife and I ate here for Valentine's Day with reservations because we rented a house nearby for the weekend. Reservations are recommended because there are very few dining options in the area, so they have a bit of a monopoly from what I could tell. My wife enjoyed the kitschiness of this place. While I certainly enjoy kitschiness when done right, I found this place to be a hot mess selling itself as kitschy. Or as they say on one of their signs, a "hippy Cracker Barrel." While that sounds clever, the experience of this place came across, to me, as messy, dirty, and unkept. We ordered rolls with a cheese sauce as an appetizer. It did not make a good first impression. I'm fairly certain the rolls we received were of the frozen variety. The flavor and texture were abysmal. The cheese sauce was just an odd accompaniment. It would be great with nachos, but rolls? I ordered a filet with mashed potatoes and rice pilaf (because the vegetables offered did not appeal to me) which came with a side salad. The salad was lukewarm and consisted mostly of mesclun and spinach, which may sound ok, but with the temperature being off, everything was limp and created a weird mouthfeel. My wife's meal came with soup, which she said enjoyed. Overall, our respective entrees were good. They cooked my steak properly, so that's a plus, but overall there was nothing special about how it was prepared or served. (See pics) They also cooked the salmon well (see pics) and my wife said enjoyed that too. For dessert, my wife had a pecan pie, which she shared with me. It was tasty but too sweet for my liking, but that's not a commentary on the pie itself. My wife enjoyed it. Lastly, our server was a very pleasant woman, who provided great service throughout our meal. In conclusion, I think the choice to dine here is ultimately a matter of personal preference and what dining options you have. I wouldn't eat here again - the atmosphere was just weird/off-putting and the quality/flavor of the food was just meh. I've simply had better food at chain restaurants. You know, like Cracker Barrel.

    It's absolutely gorgeous in Mentone. This place is so quaint. I love the various rooms and all the decor. The mountain shrimp grits were the best thing we had. Utterly delicious- it was like a southern take on shrimp risotto. And even though it was an appetizer, the portion was so huge you could easily have it as your meal. The tomato pie filling was delicious, but the crust was soggy and mealy. The burger was tasty but overcooked and dry.

    I was in town visiting my mom and we saw the cutest cafe... it's super cute and full of art. The vibes are good and our server Taylor was the best! I can't wait to come back and visit again.

    Sorry, over rated in my book. Decor was nice, food was above average but nothing special.

    This was a better disappointment. It did not live up to the hype. Wait staff very nice but owner or manager (not sure which one) very rude.

    Waited 40+ minutes, seated outside. My steak was great. Wifey didn't enjoy the shrimp Alfredo. Dry & cold. Server and manager was nice.

We ended up sharing a salad, which was delicious. It was had the perfect amount of dressing on it. We ended up splitting the bacon appetizer. The bacon was delicious the little biscuits that came with it were not my favorite. We ended up splitting the flounder which was absolutely positively stuffed with crab meat. It was so delicious. It was a smaller size portion, but we did split it and it was perfect enough because it was so buttery and delicious. We ended up getting a dessert because we were celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary and we ended up splitting the fried apple pie, which I could've licked the plate. It was so delicious. It was a lovely evening. We sat out on the patio. Great food great service. It was really a special night. Everyone said happy anniversary is to us which made it extra special. Kind of wish they would've given me a glass of champagne or a free dessert for our anniversary but maybe next time. Cheers. $$$$

Then, Victoria (primarily) did a fine job keeping up with our large group. It had gotten dark so didn't get full advantage of the nice view but the rustic feel inside was appropriate. I started with the tomato soup which had an interesting dollop of crab meat in the middle to jazz it up. Some got the bacon instead as first course & it was good (sans the jalapeño for me). My main course choice was the broiled snapper with mashed sweet potatoes & beans. Very tasty (though the sides might have been warmer). To close, a very nice pecan pie tartlet, I'll call it with ample whipped cream - right up my alley!

Every one of the sides looks so good and fresh that I wanted to get each one of them just to try it! The fish was cooked perfectly and was nice and tender. The added little muffin I didn't expect was a nice touch and delicious. The collard greens were SO GOOD. I'd get them again. So flavorful and cooked well. The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming.
