We pulled up to the restaurant on a Tuesday mid afternoon and were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. Service was friendly and welcoming. I don't think I've been to a cleaner restaurant. Ever. The food... being from Texas we are bbq snobs. And this bbq did not disappoint especially considering its location up north. From the 5 sauces given to us which were labeled (loved this so we could remember which was which), the creamy mac and cheese to the perfectly seasoned pulled pork, everything was so good. The ribs were nicely sauced and perfectly tender. We split a 2 meat (pilled pork and 3 ribs) with 2 sides ( mac and cheese and chili (up-charge)). The portions were generous and well priced. Re-route your trip, and stop by the Curious Pig! You won't be disappointed.

The BBQ baked beans are ok. The hush puppies & pimento cheese appetizer was ok. The hush puppies were dry and bland. The pimento cheese was good though. The bad - the Rueben sandwich. The meat was good but it was just huge chunks, not shaved. I could not eat the sandwich or enjoy it. It all just fell apart. Disappointing. I wanted to say something but the owner did not seem overly friendly or wanted to bother talking to us. I will go back but just order a meat platter or ribs.

What a cute little bakery/coffee shop! We stumbled across Fika by chance and were so happy we did!…read more I was looking for a caffeine fix and spotted Fika. There is no dine in, but are a few tables outside of the place in case you want to stick around. No shade though; it's a grab and go sort of spot. The service was great! I forget the lady's name who was working but she was very helpful and friendly. The group ahead of us visited with her for a bit - definitely a small town feel! The cookies were AMAZING! Great flavor, huge, and moist on the inside - the guys in my group ate them up. Order online ahead of time for baked goods in COVID times with weekend pickup. Otherwise, whatever is left they have available for purchase. That happened to be the Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Chip cookies on the day I went - I bought 6! The coffee was good and strong. I ended up ordering an iced latte with oat milk and half vanilla based off of the lady's recommendation. The flavor was good and I was a lot more awake afterwards! I got a medium but could've gotten a small as I couldn't drink all of the caffeine in one go. Overall such a cute spot I'd highly recommend visiting!

The waiter who took our order mentioned that he was one of the chefs but had to help out front because they got swamped. I eat gluten free and there wasn't much on the menu I could eat so I asked for a turkey burger without the bun and they asked if I wanted it between lettuce leaves. It was delicious with onion and tomato. I had a side of vegetables also. My husband had chicken wings which he said were good. They were the special for the day. He said he wasn't offered any sauces and they were just plain deep fried chicken wigs which were good, just nothing special. It was a busy place on a Su day afternoon.

The bakery is amazing and it would be hard to select what to taste, except that I was a woman on a mission. I stopped in the week before Fat Tuesday. Placing the order was easy and took only moments to complete. I returned for Mardi Gras and the bakery was understandably busier. There were folks that failed to plan ahead, so their paczki pleasure was impacted. Me, I walked in, the same helpful person was retrieving orders and I picked up my pre-paid dozen quickly. The paczki were amazing and brought me right back to Michigan. The paczki we had in MN were good, but they aren't the same. And I've honestly never had paczki that were SO filled. And the fillings were so fresh, so perfectly balanced with the pastry. We tried six varieties (oof, yeah!) and loved them all. The prune paczki is an easy favorite, being traditional, but that Bavarian Cream was sublime. I was completely spoiled. It was fun that my first visits here were for 'holiday shopping,' which makes me look forward to coming back and trying more yummy baked items!
