Just Brunch was easily one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I've had in a long time…read more When I arrived, roughly 35% of the dining tables were empty and nearly 40% of the bar seating was sitting unused, yet I was told the wait would be 1 hour and 15 minutes. I didn't have a reservation, but there were only a handful of people ahead of me, making the wait completely unreasonable. Once seated at the bar, things only got worse. The bartender and several employees came across as if they didn't want to be there. Customer service was practically nonexistent. I ordered chicken wings and they were so disappointing that I didn't even eat a single wing. What made it even more frustrating was that the bartender never once asked how my food was or whether everything was satisfactory. Instead, he repeatedly tried to upsell me on other items and drinks. A restaurant can survive mediocre food if the service is exceptional, but when both are poor, there's no reason to come back. Empty tables, long waits, indifferent staff, and terrible food made this one of the worst dining experiences I've had!

The decor is bright, airy and modern without feeling overdone it makes the space feel welcoming and easy to sit back and enjoy good conversation for hours. One thing I really appreciated as a vegan was that they actually had a few vegan options instead of just a side salad or fruit plate. It's always refreshing finding a brunch spot that puts thought into accommodating different lifestyles without sacrificing flavor. The food, atmosphere and energy all came together for a really enjoyable outing with friends.

Well, hate to be frank, but our Souffle Pancake was just very disappointing. While the pancake was nice and fluffy, the toppings and presentation wasn't even close to being as good as they used to be. I felt this was new management, with a whole, new style of doing desserts maybe? In any case, we did think the pancake tasted good...but it was just lacking in the creamy topping, as only the top layer had this creamy base. The lower 2 pancakes had no cream on it...and tasted quite bland. Even the strawberry sauce was minimal...so minimal, I went up to ask for more. Also, the decorative toppings, including the strawberry, were just BLAHHH. If you come here expecting the Strawberry Souffle Pancake of the past, you'll be disappointed. So nope...just not pretty enough for Instagramming. Made me wonder if the rest of the desserts have gone down as well?? For drinks, my husband had Cappuccino, and I had this Oohlong Tea. Not pictured, but the presentation was just passable...and the taste was just OK. If I recall, their drinks used to be presented beautifully as well as their desserts...but from the look of things, that may no longer be true. Guess I may give this place at least another try. Who knows? Maybe it was just an off night?? Hopefully I can upgrade the review on my next v visit...should the dessert and the drink look and taste better. Fingers crossed??

The service was already terrible when we were told to sit down wherever and then this guy comes out of nowhere and sits us down at a terrible spot, and keeps coming back to asks questions even when we ordered steak he came back to ask what temperature which is very odd because it's normally asked when you order THE steak. Ambiance is okay very simple and bland, could be more vibrant.

I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

They charge $5 for their croissant, which was where it falls short. If it were the best croissant I ever had, perhaps. No substitutions. Always hated this rule for every restaurant, but I get it if you have a special and hundreds of customers. We were one of 3 parties on a weekday brunch, super slow. We also ordered the traditional breakfast and a kids breakfast. But instead of bacon, we wanted a croissant for the kids meal. They are both $5 in the menu when ordered separately. First the server said they didnt know (weird) then said they would check and left for 5 minutes. The answer was no. So I paid an extra $5 and added a croissant. I ate the bacon, which improved my salmon Benedict. But neither the croissant nor bacon felt like $5. Kids meal is now the cost of a regular. So I recommend if you dont want any substitutions, try this place. I wont be coming back. It really irks me that you cant just put bread instead of bacon on a kids meal. You aren't a robot, and you are not busy. You are also not getting me as a patron anymore. P.S. the Croissant alone was not worth $5. I rate it a 3 out of 5 on its own.

To me that is suitable to split amongst 8 people. The hash was delicious. Tiny roasted veg topped with your style of eggs. I chose sunny side and it was a perfect pour right into the dish. There were also 2 medium round Idaho potatoes, yum! Most definitely without a doubt will be returning.

Homemade hamburger special for $3.99 includes fries and a sweet tea is a steal. Old fashioned southern home cooking; everything tasted like it was made from scratch. Homemade cobblers or banana pudding change everyday. Only broasted chicken in the area; meats (beef tips, chicken dumplings, meatloaf, etc) and veggies for lunch change everyday. Moderately priced; meat + 3 vegies + desert is $6.79. Or 3 vegies is $4.99. Breakfast is cheap and good; breakfast specials under $5 bucks fill you up. Hole in the wall; paint and decor a little out of date, but food is really good. Definitely good southern comfort food for a great price. read more

This restaurant is great! It has a very warm, homey, and comfortable feel to it, which is so true to its name. Its not one of those highly super trendy cafes, but rather a restaurant that is ingrained in the neighborhood and has a drive for serving hot home-cooked-feel foods that makes its customers smile! The food is American/Southern so anyone who has a love for biscuits, loaded omelets, burgers, and other Americana foods that will fill their bellies will love this place. read more

No shade to the Midwest, but it tastes like Midwestern soul food or maybe school cafeteria food. The mac and cheese seems boxed and completely flavorless. I am not even sure what kind of fish I ate. The chicken tenders were okay but bland. I tried the broccoli salad, which was a mistake. It just tasted like a pile of mayo, and the rest of the vegetables looked overcooked.

I thought, I haven't had that in a long time. Mostly because no one cooks it anymore. So I said I'll try it. I went with okra and black eyed peas to round it out. Well, let's start with black eyed peas. They were very good. They even seemed fresh, even though I'd never aged they're frozen. I was impressed! The okra however was another story. They were clearly frozen. It was the chewiest okra I've ever ver had! And I'm not talking about older okra that is just hard to chew because of the plant material just being tough. I mean it was chewy like chewing gum. I peat okra I've had in years!! Then to the "steak". I'm not sure the hell the "steak" is. I'm not sure if it was meat, vegetable, or even organic at all. It was mushy and just horrible!! The only thing that helped was copious amounts of gravy. Rest assured I'll not be back. The reason for 2 stars is because the people were friendly. Service was quick, although I came early and no one was in line. The place was clean although dated. I noticed a sign talking about potentially raising the cost because produce prices were going up. Guess what? If you buy plates and silverware instead of giving everyone to go boxes and utensils, your prices would go down. The cost per patron would go down.
