Oh my gosh, all I could do, when it came out, was laugh since it was SOOOO much food on one plate. They take a meatloaf sandwich and then throw a gallon of mash potatoes and gravy on top and this thing was just a sight to behold. It was almost too pretty to eat. It was so good too. Beat meatloaf sandwich I have EVER had! Just like before everyone there is amazing (Thanks Ashley for amazing service) and thank you to the kitchen staff for such amazing food every-time we stop by while in town for work.

The staff was all extremely friendly and helpful and the vibe was relaxed even with most of the tables occupied. There's no outdoor seating as it's basically a corrugated barn on the outside so no dogs allowed. We stopped in on a road trip for some pie and it didn't disappoint! I'm a fan of raisins and chess pie so you know I had to try their raisin pie with a mountain of meringue. It was exactly what you'd expect and I recommend splitting a slice between 2-3 people since it's so decadent. The rhubarb fluff pie was an unexpected treat. We got the last slice and it was the best part of a midwestern church basement "salad". The frosting was incredibly dense, almost butter, so that made it texturally hard to eat. I highly recommend stopping in for food or even just some pie to go.

Sad considering it was a Friday night and they stay open till 2am. We wanted a snack after having a late lunch that day and struck out. The drinks were not bad. They do not have a full bar, drinks are limited to what sells. It was also very quiet. We were the biggest group with only 2 other groups there. Had a bunch of pool tables, darts, and a few arcade games. But no one was using any of them. Bartender was very attentive and helpful and even did table service.

Stopped into this small town BBQ restaurant/bar for a quick lunch. The menu was simple but covered…read moreeverything a place like this should have. The BBQ choice was brisket, pulled pork and ham. They were out of ham which was one of the two I wanted to try. I got the brisket sandwich with coleslaw instead of a combo plate. It was good meat on a toasted bun and the slaw was fresh. I tried the BBQ sauces provided, one spicy and one not and I didn't like either one. Not sure if they were homemade or just modified but I didn't care for them. The beef was very good though, tender and nicely smoked. With a good sauce choice it would get another star. Overall it was a good meal, nice waitstaff.

Ok, so he's in town for other business but he schedules his trips around the cafe hours. I. Am. So. Addicted! Folks, I shouldn't even be telling you how great they are, 'cuz I'll have to share. The employees are fantastic. The atmosphere is charming. The menu has variety that'll even satisfy "that one" in the group. (You know, That one). Small town charm hiding massive chef skill. Did I mention the scones? ;)

I already had the brewery to try but relatives that live somewhat locally to the town added more justified hype and momentum to give this brewery a try. Without a doubt we will be returning! Might first beer so far with Pivo is their excellent their American Light Lager known as Rice ville Light Lager. As the name suggests this is a rice lager which I do really enjoy getting. This beer is crisp, slightly sweet, malty and a clean finish. That is a highly excellent beer and I can't wait to try more of their beer options. Excellent, excellent starting beer with this brewery!

I was interested in trying their boba milk tea drinks. It was around noon and I already had my fill of coffee so I opted for a fruity option - kiwi popping boba and mango jellies in almond milk. It was delicious. I'll have to remember for my next fruity drink that the jellies are preferable over popping bobas :) I love the traditional tapioca boba though with my normal milk tea. So many options for drinks though! The spritzers are popular right now and they have that option as well. Service was good.

Every single time we've been there, we wait a minimum of 10 minutes before we are offered drinks. Today we had to actually get up to find someone to give our drink order to!

You know the stuff that is microwaved & processed, not homemade. We are very forgiving on service as nobody is perfect & everyone has a bad day. The restaurant is clean.

We got the black chicken grain bowl ($15) and the pork Ruben fry bowl ($15.75). Both were great! I enjoyed the grain bowl more simply because of the poblano avocado sauce. Coming from someone who doesn't like avocado... that's a big compliment. It added a good spice/ pizazz to the dish! No trace of avocado taste at all. The pork Ruben fry bowl was good too... but I felt that I could make it at home.

We shared these things: Small plate with scallops, pork belly, cantaloupe. Pork chop, flattened & breaded & fried, with amazing sauce and fresh green beans. Delicata squash, stuffed with a feta forward filling, with hummus and fresh mushrooms on the plate as well. My descriptions do not adequately capture the depth of flavors & sauces on each plate. So many flavors in pleasing combinations! Finally, this place is a great value. I'm not saying it is cheap. But you can spend this kind of money on much less interesting food.
