We dropped in for lunch before a movie at NCG, were warmly greeted and promptly attended. A few minutes later our food arrived, piping hot, and to our liking. Mmmmm. Lori's tuna salad sammie was excellent, as was my jalapēno cheeseburger. I subbed out the fries for the mac-n-cheese; it was just OK. I am happy to have a Vera's much closer to my home.

What a pleasant surprise - a place for breakfast that has a nice menu - not too fancy, just a good…read morebreakfast with all the standards. We had the Classic - eggs over easy, bacon, whole wheat toast. Very good, although the eggs could have been a bit warmer. We also had the Homestead Platter - bacon, link sausage, scrambled eggs, with a biscuit and sausage gravy - a steal at $13.99! Lots of bacon and sausage and perfectly scrambled eggs - a winner in my book! The coffee was good, hot, and plentiful. Service was polite, friendly, and professional. The menu also had omelets, benedicts, and items from the griddle. Warmer eggs brings the food to 5-star. I gave the atmosphere a 4-star rating because I found the place a bit spartan. That said, I'll trade good food at fair prices for atmosphere any day of the week. If you're looking for a good, standard breakfast, this could be your kind of place. I will be back - likely quite often!

Went here with my husband on a spur of the moment decision. I love to eat out for breakfast but my…read morehusband doesn't so he ended up with a sandwich and I had eggs Benedict. I use Benedict's as my gold standard for breakfast service. I like my poached eggs runny but these were almost completely cooked, the English muffin I requested toasted 'hard' meaning I want it well toasted but it came out hardly toasted. The hollandaise sauce was a little weak and thin and sparse. The potatoes were over salted for my taste even though our server tried to fix them by bringing me a new side order, the potatoes were still too salty. So the Benedict didn't meet expectations but my husband enjoyed his sandwich. My dogs enjoyed the remains of the eggs Benedict - too expensive to throw out! But not the potatoes. I might be persuaded to try this place again in the future, but it would be because nothing else was available.

I didn't try any of the food this time around but my friend and I ordered their chocolate strawberry iced lattes and they were delicious!

The menu offers quite a bit of options of coffee drinks, teas, food and even ice cream. MY wife and I went just for coffee, and it was delicious. By the way, it's imported Colombian coffee, and it was great! Staff was friendly and helpful. We were helped by the owners themselves, and they always had a smile, repeated our order back to us, got our order quickly, and checked on us if things were OK. The common areas and restroom were clean and comfortable, and the y did a terrific job with the looks of it. It has its own free parking lot but with limited spots. Overall, 100% recommended and can't wait to return to ty the food menu.

Her club was huge and stuffed with cheese and meat and really good looking bacon. My chicken tenders were big and well cooked and the honey mustard sauce was excellent. Even with them closing in a few minutes we didn't feel rushed or in the way. They were attentive to us keeping our drinks filled and making sure I got a box to take my chicken home for later. Yes their chicken tenders were good enough to want to take home. Hope to visit again soon.

As I mentioned before, I'd…read morekeep coming back; and, true to my word, I'm literally there every Sunday for Brunch, grinning like I own the place while the staff (who are absolute gems, by the way) welcome me in. I've also stopped by for dinner a few times, and let me tell you, these folks don't miss. The food? Always fresh and delicious. The service? Fast, professional, and somehow still warm and personable. They've really built a fantastic team here, and at this point, I'm pretty sure I qualify for honorary family membership. Someone get me a name tag that says "MSB Cousin." If you're ever there for Brunch when the "Big Stack" is on the menu, please try it. You're going to love it, and the many other brunch and dinner items on the menu.
