When this place was open, I'll agree with some of the vibes from some of the other reviews. Even…read moreentering the place felt like you were headed into an organization's cafeteria (with servers) or a version of a mess hall meets dining hall (half wondering if you were in the right place). ---- The menu was simple. I had no complaints about the taste or quantity of the food. (It reminded me of being a guest at a real farmhouse's breakfast table (at my grandma's or cousin's place) - where the options were simple and based on farm staples, coffee was on tap and everyone was eating to fuel the work that they were headed out to do...rather than taking breakfast time to be pampered and relax.) The ambiance was pretty cut-and-dry (generally related to hunting). The service was pretty cut-and-dry. It was straight forward, no frills, no fuss. It wasn't "typical restaurant" compared to anything - greasy spoons to diners to cafeterias, much less fine dining, take out or anything else in my experience. It was a bit of a breed of its own. It obviously had its critics, but locally it also had its diehard fans. When I was new to town, I fell somewhere in between (not because of the restaurant itself, but because I always felt like I was imposing on some private organization's eating hall). To sum it up - it was utilitarian, like-home cooking that got you fed, tasted pretty ok (if you're into that type of food) and got you out the door without breaking the bank. ---- But, I'm not really here to provide a review as much as to give you an FYI (update). FYI - if you were wanting to give it a try...I have some news for you. Hunters Cafe closed a few years ago and the building was sold to a faith ministry. There are several other options for food (even gluten free and vegan) in the area, but none are quite like the old feel of Hunters Cafe. I would, however, resist any urge to speak poorly about the place if you're bopping around town. For some in the community, even now, Hunters (like the family whose house you used to eat dinner at) is truly and dearly missed.

If you're looking for a quiet place to work or a quick meal on the run, this place probably isn't…read morewhat you're looking for. But, if you're looking for the undertones of buzzing energy, an artsy/independent vibe, a place where people pause to literally and figuratively drink-it-all-in, this could be a good fit. If you're into snug coffee houses with live music nights, this might be it. I used to visit more often. I was a big fan of their cookies, soups, side salads and iced tea. When I was there more recently, all the foods/drinks were still there and still as I remembered them, but apparently the vibe shifted a little during Covid and the requisite remodel has remained. Now it feels a bit snugger, a little more hectic, a little less convenient to know where to be to wait for your food. The bakery cooler/display is no longer in front showing the foods of the day and the menu has never been very clear on its own (with so many options), it's a bit anxiety provoking just to find options and select a meal. I don't see the display of teas that I used to entertain myself or the open waiting area where I used to wait. And the staff I knew have since moved on and the new staff treat me like (what I am to them) a lost and confused stranger. Personally, I vibed with the old staff a little better and I liked the former lay-out better, but those are all personal preferences. This community hub is still buzzing, it's just somehow I'm now a bit out of place...like going back to high school or college, looking for a connection and it's not quite there. And, yet, I still encourage you to stop by. If a vegan/gluten free person is looking for a place to eat, I still have them check the College Hill Coffee and Oasis Coffee Shop menus first. If someone is looking for a cozy, snug, college/community hub, I still direct them to CHC. When young people are new to the area and looking to meet other young people in the area, I still point them to CHC. If a new artist/musician (of any age) is trying to meet like minded people, I still suggest CHC as a place to start. If someone wants a cookie, hands down CHC is the place to go. CHC is like a busy YouTube coffee shop but with real people/food and without the obligatory cat. If you're looking for something less commercial than Starbucks and more energized than the calm plants and tones of Oasis Coffee Shop, this independent coffee nook within easy walking distance of Southwestern College might be exactly what you're looking for.

It's a small seating area, but if you're from in-town, I can see that this is a great place to catch up with friends. The menu includes several sandwich options (breakfast and lunch), soup, baked goods, and an assortment of coffees and espressos. Didn't want to seem obnoxious so I only took a pic of the food menu. You aren't getting gourmet when you come, but I think it's a great place to stop in and have a quick coffee, and treat. Flavor profile for food is four stars, but I'm giving them the five stars because their service is great, atmosphere is cozy, and I think it's worth a stop in, if you're in the area.

The staff leadership. Where is it? Where is an experienced leader to help ensure the customers' needs are met? What I see is a very young (and very sweet) staff operating largely unsupervised. Tonight, for example. My wife and I got dressed for dinner, and showed up sans reservation. All good. I made my way to the bar to get drinks for my wife and me, while my wife checked us in. We were seated in a booth fairly quickly upstairs. Our server took good care of us, despite how busy it was. So far so good. My wife ordered a yummy sandwich, and I ordered the Yard Bird, essentially a grilled chicken breast. I ordered asparagus and a side salad to go along with it. We sat there for a bit, but things were busy, and all was good. We were having a great time. Here's where they could do better, and it feels very typical as we're eating there - a lot. After sitting for a while our food came, but here's the deal. The salad wasn't delivered early, as is customary. It came with my entrée. By the time I enjoyed my salad, and the vinaigrette was outstanding, the chicken and asparagus was cold. I just boxed it up and took it home. Really? How hard is this, folks? Your food is priced at big boy prices, but the overall service is not up to the prices you charge. Here are a few more examples. These are simple things that can be fixed, if anyone bothers to: Since I moved here over a year ago, I've developed a liking for their onion rings. We frequently order them as an appetizer. In that year, guess how many times when the appetizer is delivered to the table (usually by a member of the kitchen staff and not by our server) that we have plates for each person to use? Zero. Not once in the last year. All we can do is try to catch the kitchen staff member before they walk away and ask for plates. Then we wait as our appetizer cools off for the plates. Who's guiding these kids? Next, order iced tea. You'll get your tea, but many, many times with such a minimum of ice that you have to ask the server for more ice before you're even a third through. On the tea thing, if you order iced tea with lemon, in my experience you'll get the lemon you ordered only about half the time, and you have to follow up. Additionally, when you're done with your first glass of tea and you're due for a refill, it would be outstanding if, when a refill is placed in front of you, it had lemon as well. It's so simple, right? Back to tonight's dinner. We had dinner in a booth upstairs, but we decided to move downstairs for coffee and dessert at the bar. But wait, the coffee machine is broken, so no coffee. We left, and went to another restaurant for dessert. I love the people at Shindigs, and it pains me to give this feedback. I'm a foodie, and I appreciate good service and tip accordingly. I'm not one with restaurant experience, other than from a customer perspective. It just seems to me that someone should be teaching basic expectations to the staff, then hold them accountable for providing it. I assume the teaching has taken place, I just don't see the accountability by a leader following up.
