I really loved my number 5 chicken artichoke on sourdough. My husbands number 6 Nodo steak was…read morereally good--I loved the onions and mayo and cheddar (the beef was a little dry but mayo helped that). The star of the show was the freshly cooked basket of sweet potato fries with garlic aioli. We almost didn't get a side and I'm SO glad we got them. Those fries would definitely be part of my "last meal".

Plenty of tables to choose from whether small or large group. I just really wanted a massive salad and massive salad I received! You can choose from a selection of menu items or you can build your own sandwich or salad. I chose a menu selection, they tossed it all in a bowl with some dressing and packed it into a little container with zero room for activities. There was like a dusting of protein and an absurd amount of lettuce, but it was pretty good and hit the spot. Service was about what you'd expect from a small town cafe!

Hot/spicy, but approachable from a Midwestern perspective. The beet salad was excellent. Super glad I ordered - everything is scratch made. (From a prior visit) Their burger is amazing. Order it. Say thank you.

The hollandaise sauce with jammy egg on top was fabulous, but the sandwich itself was just ok. Garganelli 2/5.

I love the counter service concept and being able to pick my pastry out of the case before finding a seat. I ordered the breakfast burrito, a lemon poppyseed muffin, and a latte. For brunch catching up with a friend, it was the perfect blend of savory and sweet. And MAN was the breakfast burrito delish - I adore when breakfast items have a hearty serving of avocado, and the burrito struck the perfect balance of avo and egg goodness. The accompanying sauce was also delicious. My only complaint is I'm not a local so I can't visit more often. Definitely give this one a try!

My wife and I visited Barrett's for coffee and pastries on Wednesday morning. Below are our…read morethoughts! Food/Drink: Apple Cider Donut Cake (Delicious! Rating = 8.6/10), Nutella Croissant (I'm a sucker for Nutella and this definitely delivered. Rating = 9.2), Hot Frosted Sugar Cookie Latte (Solid - nothing special here, probably wouldn't order again. Rating = 7.2/10), and Iced Vanilla Latte (Another solid latte, I liked how you could easily taste the espresso flavor! Rating = 7.9/10). Service: We didn't receive great service on this morning. The cashier seemed a little grouchy and our drinks took a while to come out. Nothing that majorly impacted our visit though. Ambiance: The location itself has an excellent vibe and physical space. There is ample seating with a variety of tables, booths, and stools. The space is also decorated/setup extremely well - I'd say one of the best I have reviewed thus far! Overall, Barrett's is an excellent non-chain coffee shop! I'll be back to visit in the future.

Tried this place for the first time and the food did not disappoint! It was authentic and…read moredelicious! The restaurant vibe was hip and fun, the walls were designed with colorful graffiti art and they had a karaoke corner. Our group ordered Kimchi fried rice, jjajangmyun and Korean style bibimbap. All dishes were tasty! The jjajangmyun noodles were perfectly chewy just how I like it. And the bibimbap was served in the traditional clay pot, it was a little on the spicier side but it was so good I finished the entire bowl. The only thing I was missing was the banchan (Korean side dishes). Understandable since we ordered a la carte whereas if we ordered kbbq or the meat combinations it would be included. We definitely plan to come back and try more dishes! Highly recommend!

Long Xings did it again!…read more Alas, it was a Sunday night and I really, really did not want to cook. Add to that, Chinese just sounded amazing. I popped online and ordered like 30lbs of food for under $75. It was correct, made fresh, and ready on time! Pricing is right, too, as the entrees are pretty hefty. I stand by my last review. BEST. CHINESE. TAKEOUT. SPOT. Our order last night included: rangoons, vegetable rolls, egg drop soup, sesame chicken, orange chicken, mongolian beef, fried rice, white rice and lo mein. Perfection. Oh, and they threw in some free fried donuts with our order! Lots and lots of leftovers. My only qualm with Long Xing's is they don't deliver and its not really a 'eat in' type of spot.

This restaurant has started shrinking portions on takeout, and messes up at least one ingredient in the salad every single time. I always get the asian chicken crunch and it's usually the chicken is missing. I know it gets confusing with chicken being so hard to see and all.... The two stars are generous since this chain obviously is cheap and lazy on takeout orders simply because they think can, and I've ordered enough times to have a good idea!
