Customer Reviews
We were duped by the online reviews and photos of food. It is definitely an eclectic and historical place. But, it should have been a sign that no other patrons could be found during a peak breakfast time. I ordered monkey bread that was hard as a rock and clearly microwaved. The waffle was oddly hot and cold. Overall, this was a bust.
The best roasted vegetables I've ever had. That might not sound exciting, but I could've eaten those vegetables every day of my life. They were SO GOOD. We were so happy the server recommended them. Staff was really friendly. The restaurant had a cool renovated-antique vibe. Breakfast was yummy and reasonably priced!
Food is great. The staff is very friendly. The owner is very informed of the history of building and the area. The chefs are great. We were visiting from Kentucky. We ate there several times over the weekend. My husband had shrimp and grits. He said they were the best. I had the Kentucky hot brown. Delicious. For dinner we had their homemade Sloppy Joe's. Very good. We will go back tomorrow for brunch before we head out. Stop by if you are in the area you won't be disappointed. They just got their liquor license so you can enjoy a drink with your dinner.
This place was amazing, we went and tried to get sat during a big Festival that was happening in the area and we waited Less Than 3 minutes. I ordered the pulled pork quesadilla. My dining Partners had the chicken fingers and a mushroom swiss burger, both were raved about. Our server Josh was next level taking our order without a notebook and getting everything perfect. Price was good for the amount of food and amount of time we spent the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend for a come in and sit down dinner, or for a quick appetizer and drink.
No one was there at dinner. Should've been a sign that something was off. This place seems more like a social club then a restaurant. The food was awful. The beer cheese doesnt taste right, the cheese curds were tiny and dry, the burger has a weird spicy, tangy
