My go to choices are either the patty melt or one of their egg and meat breakfast options. But for me the big allure here has always been their hash browns. You can get the hash browns topped with a variety of toppings, you can't go wrong with chili and cheese, but really it is whatever talk to your heart. I guess you might find it odd that I have never had the waffles at a business where waffle is in their very name of the business but I am just not into the sweet type breakfasts. Whether waffles are your thing or not, I would recommend visiting a Waffle House, this location or any of their locations.

Definitely worth it. I cut my visit short and left because I was the only person at the bar. Just was looking for more social fun atmosphere. Not the restaurants fault. Place is pretty rugged and nothing fancy about this place for sure. If I had a group of about four friends with me, I'm sure we would get fun and crazy in this place. Their wing menu looks amazing. Food seams to be reasonably priced and some stuff is pretty dang cheap.. I'm coming back to try it for sure.

Normally I'd give Espresso 5+ stars. I brag about how delicious their burgers are all the time. A couple of weeks ago I introduced my fiance to the jalapeno popper burger so today he really wanted another one. We tried calling multiple times to put in the order for 30 mins or more with no answer. So he went up there, waited in line for 30 mins to which we then found out they didn't have what they needed to make the very burger he went up there for, he just ordered something else, paid for it, and was told it would be a 30 min wait and they would call when it was ready so he ran some errands. Still didn't hear from them until at least 45 mins later. Very disappointed they let him down when normally everything is great. read more

Everything was wonderful! The staff is super sweet and the food is delicious. The coffee is on point! They have a bunch of flavors to add to your coffee as well. Try the veggie burger. You won't be disappointed. I enjoy places based on the atmosphere (maybe more than the food they offer) and this place is adorable. It's an old gas station so the inside is decorated in old motor signs and stickers. There is plenty of room to sit down and eat. It also has free WiFi, so you can get some work done while you enjoy a nice coffee/meal. It's in a convenient location, so stop by and check it out! read more

My favorite coffee shop! Not only do they have wonderful coffee, they have great smoothies, teas, and sodas. The food is a great choice for lunch. Hand made burgers and other awesome sandwiches with premium ingredients. The atmosphere is really something to see! The building itself is a work of art. The best part of the Esspresso 41 experience is the friendly service, everyone there is always so accommodating and positive. A well earned 5 stars. read more

They absolutely have the best hand pattied, flavorful and moist burgers I've ever had in my life. The sweet tea is fresh and cold, the bottled sodas are amazing, and the atmosphere is a little industrial and cold, but very open and entertaining. The wait time is spot on for a new restaurant, the mac Daddy sandwich is spicy but a great "Big kid Grilled Cheese" for all palettes. read more
