You will never have a bad meal here! Everything is delicious! Try the turkey with red peppers,avocado mayo, and spinach sandwich, with a side of that yummy pasta salad, you won't regret it!
The pimento cheese and classic chicken salad were like my mom made it, Delicious!! My partner said the burger wasn’t anything special but would satisfy a craving if you had one. Wine selection is pretty good. Beer selection is small but good classic options.
Food was absolutely marvelous. I think it was the best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever eaten, and I have eaten a lot of them. The chicken and dumplings were superb. My waiter, Nathan, was very attentive and friendly. A very enjoyable experience. I will definitely be back.
This is a fantastic small hometown place. All of the food was delicious and the staff was super helpful and courteous. I had a philly burger. It was great exactly what I was expecting. The Cowboy burger was also good. The cheese curds coming in the cute little fry basket. Also as for the atmosphere they had really great music playing and the outside seating was full but looked like fun!
Really cute spot with an easy stop on the way to the mountains! Great service. Super sweet staff.I had the tomato basil soup. It was very good. Nice and hot to warm me up. It was freezing in there. They turned down the air for us though!I also had the turkey avocado panini. Holy moly it was good. It's pretty big and I wanted to bring half home but I knew it would not be as good later after it got soggy so I ate as much as I could and didn't want to stop. Such a great flavor.Also had the pasta salad for a side. Definitely didn't need it as I was stuffed! It was ok. A little more seasoned than I would like but overall a nice salad.We will come again!
The staff was very friendly from our walk in the door. You have outdoor and indoor dinning. The Catolina burger was incredible and it had fresh hamburger meat. The house chips were not greasy. My wife got Cranberry-Pecan chicken salad croissant was delicious. They also have desert area with homemade deserts and they taste incredible. Then to top it off they have a gift shop.
Such a neat little hidden gem in a small town. My husband, son and I popped in for lunch and the food was so good. I got the Turkey Avocado Panini and my husband got the chicken salad on a croissant. All good was super fresh and made to order and even had to get some fresh squeezed lemonade to go. I regret I was so full I didn't have room for their parlor style ice cream! The staff was awesome and some of the best service I've received in months!
Delicious lunch! The food was good quality and the servers were nice. We had the chicken BLT wrap, chicken salad croissant and fries and loved everything. I don’t love that the sides are separate but I’d go back for lunch again
