They even list the farms where the ingrediants came from on the menu. When I arrived I had to use the washroom. Not only was it clean but it was stocked with cotton towels. I knew that this was a good omen of things to come. My husband and I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup and the grass fed hamburger. This may have been the biggest and most pack grilled cheese I've ever had. The hamburger was good but the potatoes that came with it stole the show. Since the entrees were so good we were excited to try the desert. We ordered the homemade chocolate peanut bourbon pie. This had the consistency of a pecan pie and was very rich. Everything was great at Thyme Craft Kitchen. It comes highly recommended!

Coffee wasn't kept filled and had to grab silverware from another table so food wouldn't get cold. At one point the server filled one person's coffee cup at the table, left and never came back even though everyone else had empty cups as well. Didn't ask anyone, just poured it and left. Food and drinks were not good. Edible but wouldn't ever come back. We had a variety of meals because we had a large party. Not a single thing was remarkable in a good way. The two things that were exceptionally bad were the biscuits and gravy and veggie skillet. The gravy was bland and not creamy. The biscuit tasted and looked like it was a made from the freezer. The veggies in the skillet: undercooked onion, frozen spinach, canned mushrooms, ok fresh tomato. Just overall not good. Coffee tasted slightly above water and lukewarm. Decor was generic. I would equate this entire experience to an institutional meal at like a low grade retirement facility or something similar.

Gets most of its customers from around. They have some pretty typical bar food if you like fried things. Bar and grill, with most of the focus being on the beers and cocktails. It's just best to not take chances and play it safe. The bar looks pretty divy from the outside, and rest assured it's like that on the inside too. Amazing that it's in the middle of a residential neighborhood. There must be noise complaints one can imagine about the crazy patrons. It's about $3 for the cheapest drinks. There's often specials including on beers and wells. Food menu has greasy favorites. It's about $8 for a burger or a sandwich. Loads of toppings. Big menu but most of it is meaty. There's a few things made with avocado and sprouts, but usually in combination with bacon or something. For sure it has a lot of choices if you're looking for typical bar food. It's located on the street it's named for obviously. They're even open for breakfast, so you can get your drinking on early, while getting eggs and whatever.
