Since this was the only coffee shop in the entire town that was open on Memorial Day, we decided to…read morestop by for breakfast and our caffeine fix. As expected, there was a long line, but it moved fairly quickly, and we were able to order and get our food within a reasonable amount of time. The coffee menu had plenty of unique syrup add-ons and flavor combinations, and the bakery selection was surprisingly diverse. The location is easy to find, with plenty of parking right out front, which was especially convenient on a busy holiday.Given how crowded it was, we did have to wait a little while to find seating, but that's understandable for a holiday when it seemed like half the town had the same idea. The staff was sweet, friendly, and handled the rush well. Overall, a solid stop for coffee and breakfast, especially considering it was one of the few places open that day.

The staff here was friendly and efficient, taking our order and processing the transaction quickly. My daughter liked her mocha, but to me, it tasted like sweet, milky hot chocolate--nothing special. The dark coffee, however, was disappointing. No aroma, no freshness, just bland. This will be our first and last time at Dutch Bros. For real coffee lovers, Starbucks or even McDonald's coffee is far better. This might appeal to younger drinkers who prefer sweet, iced drinks, but it's not for us.

The place was super busy when I arrived there were people waiting outside, which is always a good sign but since I was dining solo, I got seated right away with no wait at all. The atmosphere inside is warm, cozy, and welcoming, with really cool décor featuring cars and car photos that give the restaurant personality and a fun, nostalgic vibe. It feels comfortable rather than fancy, the kind of place where you can relax, sip your coffee, and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. I ordered the shrimp and Swiss cheese omelette with jalapeño, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The portion was generous, and it came out piping hot and surprisingly fast considering how busy they were. The coffee was amazing too rich, fresh, and exactly what you want with a hearty breakfast. What really stood out was the service. The servers were attentive, friendly, and on top of everything despite the crowd. They made sure coffee stayed filled, checked in at the right moments, and kept things moving smoothly without making it feel rushed or chaotic. Another big plus: the prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and portion sizes. It's rare to find a place that balances great food, fast service, cozy ambiance, and affordability this well. Overall, I'd easily rate it around 4.5 stars. If you're driving along Highway 101 or anywhere near Brookings, this spot is absolutely worth the stop. It's busy for a reason great food, great vibe, and great service all in one place.

Do yourself a favor and try any of the Superfly specials with it, they'll surprise you. They do have a food menu, but it's a martini bar first and restaurant second. The food was pretty decent, but the knife work, plating and ratios showed the experience behind the stove. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told I could order fish tacos even though it wasn't on the menu. I love a good grilled fish taco so I went for it. The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned well, the green and orange sauces were good if a little too mild, and the tortillas were the right style but not grilled quite enough. Also, there was very little cilantro or onion and almost no cabbage so they weren't as filling as I would have liked. My wife had the Katsu Chicken Salad. It arrived plated like it was deconstructed: the katsu on a bed of lettuce greens with very thick slices of vegetables around around the plate and the dressing on the side. It was odd, clunky and the katsu was under seasoned. The peanut dressing was divine though, my wife said she could have drank that like milk. There are some other dishes I'd like to try and their drinks were fantastic so we'll definitely try them again.

Open entering we were helpfully directed to the back where the magic happens. The menu options are varied, including sandwiches, wraps, salads, specialty items, and specials. Ordering process: approach truck, peruse menu, order at window. Food is delivered to your table. You can also sit first and order from the table via a helpful QR code. The soup special was a truly outstanding walnut pesto sweet potato soup, which I subbed as a side. I tried the soup first, and was blown away, certain that nothing could be more spectacular. Then I tried my Grilled Ruuuben. Oh. Holy smokes. This thing is magical. I've tried quite a few vegan Reubens in my day, and Off the Wagon has the best - hands down. Something about the combination of house-made seitan, grilled onions, sauerkraut, melty cheese, and dressing transforms this sandwich into pure heaven. My dining companions enjoyed their choices which included the burger (substituting the chicken patty for the Beyond patty) and the Tofurky Club. I'm considering a campaign to encourage Off the Wagon to move to Kentucky so I can enjoy this Ruuuben with some frequency. Truly the stuff dreams are made of.
