I ordered the Brisket Plate as it offered both fatty and lean brisket, with two sides and a corbread muffin. The meal also came with samples of three of their BBQ sauces. For my sides I choose the baked beans and the mac & cheese. The brisket was sliced thin but it wasnt dry. It was tender and had a nice smoke flavor. The baked beans were great. They had good texture as there was a variety of beans used and they had a nice hint of sweetness. As for the mac & cheese, I would say it wasnt my favorite, but the noodles were perfectly cooked. The cornbread was tasty and sweet and was both moist and tender.

The restaurant and parking lot were busy. It is casual and popular. The wait was quite long so we ended up sitting in the bar. Our young server was very good and friendly. Nordy's in the bar was loud and bustling as you'd imagine but a fun atmosphere for lunch. We enjoyed our meals & drinks. The coleslaw with tiny noodles in it , aka as pasta slaw, was the bomb! I could have eaten more of that. The Mac & cheese was good. The corn muffin was delish. The grilled chicken salad was so tasty as was the pulled pork. I tried multiple table-side bbq sauces on the chicken and enjoyed them all except I didn't try the jalapeño one. Also, the beans are so flavorful. Really can't go wrong with the bbq here. I will definitely be back.

It was 105 degrees outside and the pavement just holding that heat and reflecting it back to bake all life outside. So naturally, when we arrived at the restaurant taking escape from the heat, another couple chose to sit on the unshaded patio. Martians! No other explanation. But from the cool cool inside by the window we had the most delicious dinner! First they had you a hilarious number of menus, I think there were no less than 7. However, appetizer, drinks, food all superb! The mussels were unique in like a sweet buttery teriyaki sauce. With excellent bread atop. For my cocktail I got the white sangria, and that was one delicious and stiff drink. Raviolli was the only vegetarian entree and though I wish I had more options, loved it. For dessert we ordered the goat cheesecake, and that was an experience... for one it was crustless and did taste very goaty, the sauces on it were the best part though. Should you get stranded in Loveland with aliens, I highly recommend Door 222! The whole area looks like it's going through a renovation and should the weather be slightly less than scorching, seems like a lovely area for a stroll!

Forget trying to get a seat here. They are short staffed so half the restaurant is empty. Follow that up by the fact they prioritize online orders over guests waiting to be seated. They acknowledged they stopped seating people so the kitchen could get caught up with all the online orders. Meanwhile there are guests waiting in line out into the parking lot. A 30 minute time estimate turned into an hour. Good luck but won't try here again. read more

We got a cinnamon roll to share as an afternoon snack. Boy that was a good idea as the cinnamon rolls are huge! I'm a baker and I would say even my homemade cinnamon rolls are not as light and delicious as Doug's are. A simple yet fun environment makes it as casual relaxing spot.

They took good care of me. With that in mind, I will let you know that have a "top ten" list for Benedicts. My rating is based on 3 weights : 70% = taste 20% = presentation 10% = price #1 - taste: They do use a thick piece of ham. The eggs were an almost perfect easy. The Hollandaise sauce was made from scratch and had a very distinctive flavor and taste but not just a plain yellow sauce. The reason I review Eggs Benedict is because of the difference in the flavor of the Hollandaise sauce. They do not have hash browns but have call "boiled, sliced and fried potatoes." They were browned like hash browns. #2 -presentation : It was great. #3-price: $13.59 is right in line with Bennys with hash browns. Coffee for $2.79 a cup which is lower then a lotta places. I also tried the biscuit and gravy. One of the best ever. Although it did not make my top 10 Eggs benedict list they are very good and worth the try.
