The venue upstairs was used for an adult prom recently and I attended. It was a lot of fun however…read morethe seating was odd, the shape of the room was even more odd. The bar is at a corner and yet at the center of the room .. the bathrooms are tiny and don't have doors and are right when you walk in so it feels like no privacy. The dance floor was a decent size, and the area could be setup better for seating but it was a fun night. I just loved that the bar had 1911 loganberry!

The important part was the food, so good. They have quite a variety of cuisines to choose from. I got the bacon and brisket melt which blew me away. If you get a burger or sandwich you HAVE to get the queso on the side, definitely worth the upcharge

I was afraid it would be packed before others also went to the garage sale. The sampler breakfast plate had a little of everything, and the pancake was huge and fluffy! Honestly my favorite part.

Decided at this spot for lunch. But don't fear, everything is town is all on this same street. We…read morecame in and were the only ones there beside a few at the bar. Sit down and the tables are so sticky. So don't wear anything nice or bring any important declarations because they will get ruined. We ordered drinks, a cosmopolitan in a chipped glass and a mock tail that ended up having alcohol in it. Bartender was nice enough to remake it. Made sure to put mint in with no gloves. I don't know that bothered me. Food was mediocre. Mac and cheese with pulled pork just tasted like adding two left over overs together. French toast was burnt and tasted like onions. Good for quick bite I guess but wouldn't really recommend to anyone.

The boys were lobbying hard for Tully's, but I convinced them to give this fried chicken sandwich spot a chance. Happy to report that there was not a single complaint while dining here. Choosing a sandwich was the hardest part. I went with The Competition: pimento cheese and hot honey, which complemented each other so well. The fried chicken itself was juicy inside with a crispy seasoned coating. It wasn't greasy and had just the right amount of spices. My one son stepped outside his comfort zone and ordered the Roll Tide with Alabama bbq sauce and dill pickles. So thankful he was willing to share; it was excellent. My favorite part? Upgrading to the sweet waffle fries. I've had plenty of sweet potato fries before, but never ones tossed in sea salt. Absolutely enjoyed the salty-sweet combo. By the end of the meal, three hungry 11-year-old boys and one indecisive mom had completely cleaned their plates. Would definitely come back.

The reviews on YELP were positive for The Mustard Seed, so we had to check it out for ourselves. First impression was that I LOVED the smell of the store. It smelled like patchouli, sandalwood, and palo santo. I liked the variety of vitamins and other natural products in the store, including their selection of spices and herbs. The cafe is located in the back with seating inside and outside. My husband ordered the Harvest Salad and a soup and I had the Tuna Salad on a wrap with soup. Both of our meals were excellent and what we wanted for a healthy lunch. The Thai soup was flavorful and delicious, the tuna salad was light and fresh, and the harvest salad was fresh and the mix of the Gorgonzola cheese with the apples was very good. Highly recommend if you're passing through this area!
