    a burger and fries on a plate
    Wendy R.

    I stopped in for lunch with my sister and had high hopes for something delicious. I ordered their chicken sandwhich but the waitress came back and said they didn't have that so I ordered their vegan burger with a side of hash browns instead of fries and my sister got their mushroom Swiss burger. The place had one other lady at the bar and it was a longer wait that I would have expected for our two plates. The vegan burger was surprisingly good- I would just suggest serving the sauce on the side as mine had too much and made the sandwhich very messy to eat even after scraping off a considerable amount. My sister liked her burger too. The diner could use some warming up and music. It was dead quiet in there and has kind of has a church basement feel to it.

    Good food and the chef is willing to get creative with customizing your order if it isn't busy. Cinnamon rolls are really good too.

    The food is always amazing, always fast no matter how busy, service is quick, they are very nice no…read morematter who has served us, lived in galena my whole life and never had a bad experience old owners or new. The vibe in the building is adorable, comfortable, and homey. but ALWAYS make a reservation, they're a small establishment and are very good, so a reservation is necessary. and if you are planning on eating there during the summer, make sure to make the reservation weeks in advance, they're booked quick because, well it's great, and summers busy. If you are unable to do stairs though, make sure you request the downstairs area!

    Located across the river from Maine St, this quaint old house turned restaurant is worth the stop…read more There is on street and public parking available. I would recommend making reservations as it was consistently busy. We opted for seats at the bar to avoid an hour wait. This place is tiny, so it would not be ideal for large groups. It would be difficult to accommodate someone who could not navigate stairs (there are both stairs to enter as well as a staircase for most of the dining space). Servers were friendly and helpful, the right amount of attentive. The food came out quickly. They offer light lunch, brunch, breakfast fare, with specials, and baked goods from Lola. A popular special is a homemade pop tart, which has rotating flavors (today was blueberry with lemon frosting). We opted for French Toast, pork belly, and the country skillet. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. All around a great find.
