My wife and I were pretty excited about a new experience and a fun lunch. The place was disappointing to say the least. The servers weren't really friendly or outgoing. The value was severely lacking- a reported 5 ounce burger (looked small) and literally about 10 crinkle cut fries, a 12 ounce drink served in styrofoam and a vanilla malt to go costs us about $50. I tried to say thank you to the server on my way out but she was busy having a loud conversation with another employee and didn't notice me. There is outdoor seating on picnic tables. The menu has a variety of sandwiches like cod fish and a fried bologna plate. But most of the menu was different burgers with cute names. The web said they served breakfast all day, there was no breakfast menu on the table and we didn't ask. All in all I'm glad I went to satisfy my curiosity but I would not seriously recommend this place to people visiting Frankfort. You would get a better deal and probably service at Hardee's.

My salad (chicken, bacon, avocado, and more!) was fresh and delicious, and the portion very generous. My drink was continually refreshed without my asking and the server checked in without being overbearing. I highly recommend this diner if you find yourself in the Frankfort area!

The café was quite crowded when we visited, so it was pretty loud inside. We ordered three lattes (banana, turtle, and honey cinnamon) along with a muffin, and everything was delicious. I was especially impressed by how smooth the coffee was and how well the banana flavor came through without being overpowering. We do wish there had been high chairs for families and that the space had been a bit quieter, but the coffee itself was excellent (probably my favorite in Frankfort)!

Our coffees took a bit to show up but all were pleased with what they got. Food came out relatively quickly and Zoey got a scone which she loved, nicely warmed and delish. Teresa got the Brie, lettuce and tomato sandwich and she loved that too. I was less fortunate as my breakfast bowl arrived cold. The potatoes were tasty and the whole bowl presented well, but it was stone cold. When I mentioned this to folks at the desk they said 'thank you.' I took a Star. We ordered some of their bread pudding and a slice of carrot cake to go. The bourbon bread pudding was fabulous and the carrot cake was very good, but clearly had been left out as it was dry, not the moist goodness you'd expect. All said a mediocre first experience so we'll likely give them another try at some point.

Unfortunately, we were sat at a table in the very center of the dining room, which was also the very center of the flow between the rest of the restaurant and the kitchen. Our waiter, a young tall guy whose name I forget was great! He came across as being very nonchalant but the entire time we were there we never saw the man stop moving. I was very impressed. The food was fine. It was ably cooked. We both did enjoy our meals. The open kitchen is a cool concept, but when you're 30 feet away from it some cache' is lost. Everything was clean. Everything was orderly and in good repair. There really was nothing to complain about. Definitely this place is worth giving a try. It's worth the money and you may have a much more memorable experience than I.
