    OUR Biggest - The GRIZZ
    Sara S.

    We had a decent breakfast. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. I got the avocado toast, which was literally toast with avocado on it. I added the lettuce and tomato and sprinkled salt and pepper, so it was like eating an open-faced sandwich. I also got a side of country potatoes. They were not crispy, so not my favorite. I had to add salt and hot sauce to give them some flavor, and the onions weren't cooked very well, so they were quite crunchy. My husband got the Big Grizz and felt the same: his meal was just ok. Our server was fantastic though--very friendly and attentive. They were quite busy, and she had everything control.

    Mary is the best server! She always remembers us like we are old friends. The menu is comfort food, the coffee flows with the conversation, and you can eat breakfast anytime. It is a welcoming warm place to eat a satisfying meal.

    Sherry was our server and was so friendly ! She kept coming back to our table to make sure we were well taken care of . She was a doll & we adored her service ! We ordered a lot of food and had leftovers to take home . The restaurant was pretty clean & spacious . We didn't have to wait at all to be seated - which was pretty good for a Sunday afternoon lunchtime .

    Just came by today for my birthday while family was in town. We all loved the overall charm of the…read moregrounds (there's a garden, playground, greenhouse, cafe, and venue here too). There's ample parking that's paved or across the street on gravel. The food looked amazing in photos, but I wouldn't say it was as good as it looked or sounded in descriptions. It was generally very tasty, but everything felt like it was missing just one ingredient that would make it better. It could be that I'm just more used to ethnic flavors and these were just not quite hitting the mark. For example the stratciatella was good, but if the whipped ricotta was a little more fluffy and there was some extra black pepper or lemon added it would have been perfect. The pork belly was a little dry and not worth the price for just three pieces. The thick cut truffle fries were very good however. We also tried the bucatini and it was nice but still I wanted a little more kick. It has spice but just needs a little something to punch it up. The steak sandwich two of the three of us sharing a meal loved and I'd say was the best thing we ate. The service staff was kind, considerate and gave us time and made sure our drinks were filled. There are still a lot of dishes I'd like to try and since I loved the area, it would be worth coming back again.

    I was incredibly excited to try this farm-to-table restaurant. It's close to home, and a coworker…read morehad raved about it, so our expectations were high. We joined the online waitlist at 1:00 PM on a Sunday. While we were seated fairly quickly, we still had to wait in a long line just to speak with the host to check in. The restaurant was completely packed well past 2:00 PM. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill once we sat down. It took forever just to place our order. Our chowder arrived about 10 minutes later, but it tasted like it came straight out of a can, and the accompanying dinner roll was completely flavorless and factory-made. Since we were hungry, we ate it quickly anyway. It took 45 minutes for our entrees--a Country Fried Steak and a California Benedict--to arrive. By 3:00 PM, we were famished, which made it all the more disappointing to discover our food was cold, soggy, and hard. The cubed fries, scrambled eggs, and English muffin tasted like they had been sitting on a counter for 20 minutes before being brought to our table. For a restaurant advertising a "farm-to-table" concept, the eggs, salad, croutons, and muffin felt entirely mass-produced. The service was equally disappointing; our server never returned to refill our water. While the atmosphere is nice and the space is large enough to fit over 100 people, they seemed severely understaffed. The host stand was backed up, it took too long to order, and the kitchen was clearly overwhelmed. For $23 a plate, I expect significantly better quality in both the food and the service.

Really lots of empty tables but a staff that seemed to not care or we finally had mastered the power of invisibility. Finally someone motioned just a minute. Like 5 minutes wasn't enough. So we got a table and reviewed the menu. We decided on a simple breakfast. Eggs, bacon, coffee, toast etc.... Simple right? It took 5 minutes to get two cups of coffee. Then we waited. Remember it was not very busy. Server was nice but nothing about sorry your wait was so long. Nothing! Well the two breakfast dishes (scrambled eggs and sunny side up eggs) still were a no show. And we like crisp bacon but not overly cooked bacon. Not a difficult order. I have whipped this out in my kitchen in less than 10 minutes for 3 people. So why did it take almost 15 minutes to get ours. And why no coffee refills? And crispy bacon is not drop already cooked bacon into a deep fryer and forget it and then serve it and it actually is sooo overcooked that just looking at it makes it break and charcoal would have tasted better. The eggs were under cooked scrambled as my wife likes done eggs and my sunny side up were two rubber disks and overcooked with no sign of the runny eggs I like. The rest of the food was meh. So lesson learned, don't think Tim's will be an option for any meals in the future. P.S.: even when we pointed out the issues the server didn't blink when she said "You asked for crispy bacon, and the kitchen was overwhelmed" Really!!!

    Food: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 The good, the food! Long list ahead, my apologies: pecan waffles, Irish omelette, pumpkin pancakes, bacon waffles, banana Nutella crepes, cornflake French toast (added bananas) and pumpkin pancakes. We thought with the ratings the food wasn't going to be good, but everything had good flavor. The only one of issue was the Irish omelette, it was INSANELY dry, flavor was there but DRY. The pecan waffles had an orange marmalade syrup that complimented well, the cornflake texture on the French toast was "5/5 amazing" according to daughter 1 that had it. Pancakes were fluffy with a good buttermilk flavor, all was well executed. The bad/indifferent, the service. This was barely above ok, did their jobs and were somewhat nice about it. Our original server was a little on the rude side, but whatever, we ended up with a different one who was a lot nicer once we moved tables (they were understanding of the table move, we were right inside the door originally) Overall, food was good, would go back for that. The service...? Eh, we'll ignore it for now.
