I started with the Toucan Sam drink which was the only rum drink on their menu of specialty cocktails. It's a really good drink that is slightly bitter due to the campari and toasted almond bitters. For food, I was craving a burger but I visited on the wrong day. I chose the Thai style wings and a carne asada taco. Wings - the wings were decent but I got tired of eating them after the first 2. The thai peppers that it came with were not very spicy at all. The meat was also a little challenging to get off the bones for some reason. Taco - I enjoyed this better than the wings, even though this was smaller. Service was decent but not perfect. I was already ready to leave and then they asked if I wanted another drink. They were about 5 mins late since the bar area wasn't actively manned during a majority of my visit.

Lattes: The bonfire latte (special) had a strong espresso flavor, but it became sweeter as the marshmallows melted. I enjoyed this more than the lavender iced latte (special), though that ultimately came down to personal preference. Savory Breakfast Options: The triple triple omelette (regular menu item) is one of my favorite local omelettes, featuring three meats and three cheeses. The components of the sweet potato and pork belly hash (special) complimented each other nicely. It was served with house-made salsa verde and hot sauce. Sweet Breakfast Options: The campfire s'mores French toast (regular menu item) was rich and filling. The chicken and French toast (special) featured double-battered chicken tenders alongside Captain Crunch-encrusted challah French toast. Between the two, I preferred the chicken and French toast. The cinnamon swirl pancakes (regular menu item) are a classic dish here, and can be ordered as an entrée or a smaller side. Lunch Options: The birria tacos (special) were tasty, but a bit spicier than expected. Similarly, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich (special) definitely packed some heat. The chicken was sauced rather than coated in a dry rub. While I'm typically not a fan of chicken sandwiches that feature tenders instead of fillets, the size and quality of the tenders made this one work. The fries it came with had a fluffy interior and were lightly seasoned. Jagged Fork's variety and consistency over the years has kept me coming back. I often opt for the specials, but that's not a knock on the regular menu items. I'll be back to try more of the house favorites and new seasonal specials.

BEWARE!!! Angela (with the Red hair and red eyebrows) will steal from you!!!! I placed an order online my total came up to $15.13 for a breakfast meal for 1 one person. I put it in writing NOT to add the gratuity until I was able to verify my order in person! If my order is correct I always leave a bigger tip so that they will remember for the next time that I order. I was on my lunch break in a hurry when I came in to pay. Angela told me that my total was $18.75! I asked her why when my email told me it was only $15.13 and she caught an attitude and said "I don't know this is what my manager gave me.." I told her "I could have sworn it was only $15 dollars is the tip included?" She said NO! Once again still on lunch break (in a hurry) I paid and left an additional $2 dollars because I understand that they make well below minimum wage. I was a Bartender for years I get it. But when I gave her the additional $2 dollars her reaction said it all. She knew she had already charged me an additional $3 dollars for her tip already and she was not expecting more. She became very friendly at that point! Asked if I needed anything else and told me to have a great day! Unfortunately I had to come back for sugar. Now this is the part that baffles me the most, I left a note with my order stating "I wanted grits instead of hash browns, please add extra butter and sugar, please put my feta cheese on the side and DO NOT INCLUDE THE TIP I WILL LEAVE IT IN CASH ONCE I HAVE VERIFIED MY ORDER right in the Same Box! How did they get everything else right (well she forgot the sugar) except the tip?? I understand that it is hard now a days but don't steal from you customers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will leave negative reviews and spread the word! When I returned back to work and checked my email I was beyond pissed because yes.. my original total was Only $15.13 but with the $3 dollar tip they "automatically charged me" and her additional $2 dollars tip "in person" made my total NEW total $20.75 for ONE BREAKFAST OMELET!! Now because it was only $5 dollars that she stole, I called the manager to explain what happen she said that they have a new system and that she would call me back with an resolution... It has been 6 days and NOTHING I tried to give them time to fix this problem; however this is how they conduct business so they have lost a customer for life and I will continue to spread the word of how this location and their worker stole from me unnecessarily!!! She would have made her money either way but she literally took it into her own hands, stole and Lied to me in my face and management never reached back out to resolve this issue! Sad!

I tired this restaurant earlier today, and I am so happy I gave them a chance. My expectations were surpassed, as the food was outstanding. I ordered the grilled chicken pita and fries and it was amazing. The fries were cooked and seasoned just how you want them. The chicken pita was so good, in my opinion it was the best I've had in awhile. I can not wait to try mom food from this restaurant. I ordered through grub hub and I can't wait until I am able to go here in person. What I thought was the best part, when I revived my food my name was written on my bag. I know this is a small detail, but it really made the experience so much better. During this time of quarantine, that detail made my day 100 times better. Keep up the amazing service :) read more

Reviewing the menu, they have a great selection of breakfast and brunch items to choose from. I read online that they have chicken and waffles, but when I asked the waitress where it was at on the menu, she said it's not listed there and is an "off menu" item that could be prepared for me. After thinking about it, I decided that I was going to get an omlet instead. I got the greek omelet instead and let me tell you, the portions are huge! Food was absolutely delicious and I ate as much as I could. Service was fantastic and I didn't feel pressured to order anything that I wasn't comfortable with. Water and coffee were always full and my bill came in a timely manner. I will be returning when I'm on this side of town for a good solid breakfast.

The omelets tasted a tiny bit odd on the outside, the hashbrowns smelled weird (those two things means they might need to clean their griddle or ingredients are off), and there was literally, actually, no seasoning. You can't do that with veggie and cheese omelets. It's so terribly bland. And the potatoes didn't seem to contain a hint if salt either. I understand salt to taste, but there should be some to start, as it is not the same trying to incorporate it after cooking as when it is during cooking. With a heavy heart, I must give 2 stars. I ate half the omelet bc I was starving, and my fiancee at half hers bc she was having a blood sugar episode. Faint praise. Maybe I will try them one more time for their sweet things like french toast and waffles.

Their street sign says it plain as day for all to see - Coolidge Café Specialty Omelettes. Another sign says, they have had the best omelettes in town for over 40 years!!! They are open daily from 7am - 3pm. I studied the menu with a peeked interest. The menu has 27 Omelettes to choose from PLUS an Omelette Your Way option with your choice of meats, veggies and cheese. Each omelette is prepared with 5 eggs and served with hash browns or grits and toast. Yes, 5 eggs! After studying this large selection, I settled on the Coolidge Omelette with grits and wheat toast. Sunday brunch was delicious and filling! Besides omelettes, their menu is vast with other breakfast favorites, griddle, sides and breakfast wrap options. Their menu continues with soups, salads, wraps, burgers, sandwiches, melts, pitas, Coolidge dinners, Italian, Mexican, Seafood, Desserts and Side offerings. They also have a kids menu. Debbie was focused on placing those orders at the counter when I walked in to place my takeout order. She took my order with precision and brought my order to me where I was seating at a table by the door. Note: A 3% fee will be added to all credit card orders.
