    Well, if you are one of the coastal elite who have invaded the cowboy town that I've spent summers…read morein for over 50 years, you might like this place, otherwise, steer clear of it. On the positive side, their outside dining space is delightful. Shady, tree filled and charming. If you simply want a place for a coffee and a chat - enjoy! Now to the food. The menu seems overthought from the get go. Constant references to local, housemade etc. It tries to sell a certain experience but completely fails to deliver. My mom and I both opted for a simple grilled cheese sandwich with a cup of tomato bisque soup. Soup was solid if on the salty side. I almost have no words for how bad the simple grilled cheese was. No butter or oil of any kind on outside of sandwich. Cheese on inside was a slice of provolone and some scattered cheddar. Not even melted through. Tasted more like stale bread than grilled in anyway. Vessel for soup had such a small top opening that it was impossible to dip without cutting the sandwich beyond halves. (Isn't dipping what you order grilled cheese and tomato soup to do?) Water was never refilled at table despite two requests when they came by to refill coffee. My friends had a quinoa bowl with poached egg on top and the other a simple cheeseburger. Neither even finished half which tells me a lot. The friend who ordered a cheeseburger decided to try their "signature " sautéed spinach instead of fries as a side. His spinach side could have fit into a teaspoon. This place might appeal to the NOLA/girls with unshaven armpits crowd but for honest, hungry people- walk away. It's just a very bad presentation of cali style casual cuisine. BTW, four of us. Two grilled cheese/cup of tomato soup plates, two coffees, one quinoa bowl and one cheeseburger with a teaspoon of spinach- 100+ Unbelievable. The more I see all the gentrification of californication of Lander, the more I hate it and unfortunately, the Middle Fork pretty much sums up what is wrong with Lander's "emerging " food scene.

    I previously reviewed this restaurant and loved it. Visited today and ordered the exact same…read morebreakfast featured in my earlier review (2 eggs to order). It was awful. Potatoes were burnt, scrambled eggs overdone and rubbery, spinach slimy and greasy. If that's still "locally sourced" bacon they should save themselves some money and go to Safeway. Solidly underwhelming experience. Will not be returning.

    $12.13 (food - bakery grilled cheese. drink - water) Lincoln Street Bakery monologue:…read more A bakery with a variety of options always gets my attention. At this bakery, you can choose from sweets to salads, to coffee to wine, and everything in between. On this particular day, I decided on a childhood favorite - grilled cheese. But this was the grown up version, that I had twice. Yes, that is how much I enjoyed it. If you love bread, love cheese, love pesto and tomatoes, well put that all together and you'll completely dive into the bakery grilled cheese. Put your phone down, grab some napkins and indulge. P.S. - I've been to this bakery several times. Over the course of my visits, I ordered 2 salads, bought a cookie and had 2 flavored lattes.

    Unreliable operation, poor customer service and high prices for non existing menu…read more Several times stopped by during their listed opening hours, finding their business to be closed. Last time visited, at 10am and 3/4 of their menu wasn't available, which defeats the purpose of a menu ! We made a mistake to stay and order some soup, which we received cold, because they forgot to let us know that it is ready to be picked up. The soup was absolutely watered down and tasteless, the bread was stale. Why even to run a business without reliable operating hours, lack of availability, poor food quality and non existing customer service ?!
