In my travels I haven't found many places where you can get a double bacon burger, brisket fries and a cold beer for around $20. The burger with brisket fries was awesome and the Pilsner was a great combination to wash it down. Service was awesome and the patio offers a great view. Overall this is a great spot!!!! I not only recommend this place but personally can't wait to come back!!!

It was missing a few things that I wish it had but for a small store this place really packs a punch. Plenty of great vegan and healthy options. Great perks if you're an owner of the store. Parking is obviously a big hassle here unfortunately. Staff was very friendly as well. I bought one of their electrolyte Waters that I've never seen before which is great for my drive back home. The store is very clean and I would love to come back here whenever I get a chance.

I also wandered into the Co-Op and ended up with a few snacks to tide me over before the College of Engineering family event. I found it a little small as far as Co-Ops go, but there were still lots of healthy choices. Half the fun was listening to a bunch of well educated and interesting store staff and customers talk. That's one of the cool things about University towns.

He had great suggestions for the menu and while I didn't get to taste any of the food, my family said it was absolutely wonderful. Craig delivered this great meal exactly when he said he would and brought the hot items in neat hot holding containers. Craig was able to deliver the meal for 20 meal on one day's notice. He was really nice and great to work with. The family really appreciated his attention to detail and the high quality of his food. We found out after Craig arrived with the meal that one of the family members knew him and had him cater a rehearsal dinner. Craig did a great job then too! I would highly recommend Craig and creative catering for any event where you need great food.

The best thing about this restaurant is the delightful owner who cooks and came out to talk with us and explain the intense level of the hot sauce we ordered with our meal and to make sure we knew how to eat the food with fufu. My favorite foods were the Soup Royale with oxtail and the tripe soup. I also loved the Feuilles De Manioc (dish with cassava leaves), Egusi, and Sauce Graine (a dish with smoked turkey and fish...flavorful, but watch out for bones). The wait for food was pretty long so don't plan to be out in an hour, but I think they start making it after you order and it's noticeable that the food is made with love. I also ordered carryout when I didn't have as much time to sit and wait, and the food even tasted great at home. I hope they reopen somewhere, because I still have cravings for their fufu with the perfect texture dipped into a yummy, flavorful dish. Portions were huge and I would get multiple meals from an order.
