Sunday brunch menu is limited but has some great options that aren't available other days. The chicken and biscuit sandwich was amazing! One of the best biscuits I have tasted in a while. The chicken and waffles were delicious and not what I expected. The waffle was more like a flavorful waffle cone than a giant Belgian waffle. The fried chicken was very tasty. The bacon was crisp and wonderful. The over medium egg was perfect. My Diet Coke was never empty this time and the rest of the service was also on point. We had a fun discussion with one of the owners, I think and were convinced of his love of good food and New Orleans. Nothing fancy with the furnishings and atmosphere but more than enough for downtown Salem. I'll definitely be back!

One of the best fried chicken sandwiches ever. And the batter has a little kick too, so it has a little heat. Not crazy about the hot chicken sandwich cuz it's just too much hot sauce, but the classic is unbelievable. My wife always gets the Caesar with grilled chicken and it's so good. We all know the beignet fried chicken sliders are good. But this is one of my favorite spots in Salem. Lastly, the service is always great. The owner, waiting staff and chefs are always super personable.

After moving east from 97302 to 97317, we needed to find a new favorite Chinese food restaurant…read more We had loved Hong Kong House, then they were taken over by Chen's. We loved the food, and decided to try the original. We had some trouble trying to figure out how to get to their parking lot, but we were sure glad we did! We were greeted warmly and seated in a cozy booth. The minimalist decor and soothing music was wonderful. We had a generous and delicious cup of soup first. Egg Flower for my husband, and Hot and Sour for me. They were both flavorful and hot. Next we had pot stickers, pan-fried, of course. The texture was perfect. Brown and crisp on the sides, and soft and chewy everywhere else. The filling was tasty, too. Our main dish was Sesame Beef, one of our favorites. They typically stir fry it here, but we asked for the traditional deep-fried version. We weren't disappointed. The dish was absolutely delicious! We had enough leftover for another meal for the two of us. We will definitely be back!

They were able to make quite a few dishes, gluten-free for me, which was unexpected and exciting. The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere.

I was traveling for work and was looking for a good coffee/brunch spot to work at for a little bit…read morebetween job sites. This came up on my research and I was completely blown away. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They told me they make their own vanilla syrups and roast their own coffee beans. After some quick back and forth, the worker recommended I try their eggplant shakshuka and their iced shaken cappuccino. Both were phenomenal! I honestly am counting down the days til I get to be back in the area for that shaken cappuccino again! The subtle flavor notes from their roasted beans really shines through and is balanced by the cream they use. The eggplant shakshuka was also great. It wasn't too spicy but it was a lot of flavor with each bite. I was so into the sauce that I almost forgot to save some to eat with the toasted baguette slices that came with the plate! Can't wait to go back to try other stuff!
