Pump and Grind is the kind of place you might miss while driving by, but it is incredibly quaint and cute inside. The service we received was fabulous. They offer both to-go ordering and dine-in service with a great selection of breakfast and lunch items. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, and I was impressed that they use real bacon and eggs rather than the pre-made, microwaved options you find at many other places. My raspberry cheesecake latte was also delicious--I only wish I had ordered a larger one. I will definitely be going back soon and highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

One of our favorites, easily the best restaurant in the area. We wanted to catch up with a friend…read morewho is family so why not here? We reserved our Sunday night dinner via OpenTable. The restaurant is well appointed but not over the top. Just the right amount of chic. Originally seated in a booth, we ask to move to an open table as the seating in the booths are way too low. After changing places, Nick arrived to ask us if we would like to start some beverages. We had noticed that H&E advertising a locals special starting on Sundays with 50% off beer, wine, cocktails, Raw, First, and Second courses! What a great deal! We opened with cocktails and wine. Alec did a great job on our cocktails, definitely delicious! We also decided on Baked Brie to open. The Brie arrived fairly quickly, though not with enough toast pieces, it was very yummy. For our main courses I ordered their Caesar Salad adding blackened salmon, my wife their Sunday Supper Hot Brown special, mom their house salad adding blackened salmon, while our friend decided on the Steak Frites. I also ordered a half dozen oysters. My oysters and my wife's accompanying salad arrived promptly. Unfortunately, there was no oyster fork but a was asked if I wanted horseradish! The oysters and horseradish were terrific. Our main courses arrived perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! No complaints whatsoever! We had a lovely evening! This seating we were not asked to keep any utensils! Again, easily the best restaurant in the Mansfield area, almost on par with The Capital Grille. Just a tweak or two away.

Our plan was to have lunch at the Gateway Cafe inside Kingwood Gardens. They have a basic lunch type menu including some sandwichs and salads. My wife ordered a turkey wrp, her friend had thr turkey blackberry sandwich and I had the Italian pannini. All of our sandwiches were excellent. My pannini was one of the better pannini's I've had in a restaurant. Sandwiches were served with a choice of fruit or chips - I had the chips. Service is NOT fast but it was worth the wait. Watching the lady who was "creating" the salads - it was obvious that she took pride in her work and that she was somewhat of a "salad artist". All the staff was very pleasant and personable.

I ordered the "Special" which was steak with ribs and bake potato. The bake potato tasted off. My steak was not cooked the way I wanted it. I told the waitress. She said she'll have them re-cook. only thing they seemed to have done was put it on another plate and thought I would not noticed, but was no further done. She told the manager, the manager came by and started questioning if I ordered the steak medium done. I explained no I ordered WELL, but not burnt. Sending my steak back twice didn't even get it well. The ribs were dry and chewy not good at all. Manager argued I didn't know how to order my steak (I'm 61) and he agreed to take steak off our check. To make matters even worse, (my wife was very frustrated and upset my birthday dinner didn't turn out well at all) the waitress kept my wife's credit card and didn't return it to our table. After we left and she was going to use card discovered didn't have and I told her I don't think waitress gave it back. My wife called the place and sure enough it's at restaurant. Now today we have to go back at opening and get the card. Some may like this place, we won't be back!!!
