Walking in loved the nostalgic diner feel with a modern twist. We were very excited about the menu…read moreoptions but settled on the Derby Brown and the Sliders. Hash browns were very good, crispy and generously seasoned. The turkey on the Derby Brown was thick cut but cooked a hair too long. The bread was basic and a simple substitution of their in house biscuits would have elevated the dish. The tomato bacon chutney was delicious and I wish they had added it to the sliders as well! The meat in the sliders; chicken and goetta, were both a bit overcooked so the overall slider was a little dry. But my husband and I both agreed that we would go back and make the slight modifications mentioned to truly enjoy what this restaurant had to offer.

Great atmosphere and classic rock playing!

The fish was delicious on its own, but the real magic was the goat cheese pear risotto and hazelnut cream sauce underneath. Together, they took an already great dish to another level. I could happily eat that combination for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The decor is eclectic and fun, with plenty of character, and the parking garage next door makes getting there surprisingly easy. Great food, unique atmosphere, and a dish I'll be looking forward to again.

We were really impressed…read morewith their goetta, and I loved that you can substitute it for other breakfast meats in most entrées. A couple notes I'd share with the restaurant: the entrée prices feel a bit high, and the gravy was unfortunately too thick and under-seasoned for our taste. I'd definitely give this place another try, but I wouldn't order the gravy again. They also missed one of our entrées, so my daughter didn't get her food until about 18 minutes after everyone else. The ambiance is cozy and no-frills, giving that classic local diner feel. The service was extremely friendly, and you can tell they have a solid base of regulars who enjoy eating here.

The place is bright and friendly with what appeared to be many regular patrons. Our server was nice and helpful. I ordered an omelette with a hotcake and he got two eggs over easy with goetta. Our meal came with toast too. We ordered rye and whole wheat. Candidly, the food didn't have any flavor. The potatoes were the most bland. My veggie omelette had large sliced vegetables inside vs smaller pieces. The huge hotcake was thick and I'm guessing that's the difference between a hotcake and a pancake. It was good but not great. Glad we stopped by. Atmosphere very nice, service was great. We won't return due to the food. Just not good, no flavor.

Bun wasn't overpowering and capped it off perfectly. Service was pretty good but they didn't make my shake until I was finished and asked for it a second time. Was worth the wait.
