The…read moretomato soup was very Smokey and sweet, more like a marinara sauce with its thickness than soupiness. The grilled cheese was crispy, buttery, cheesy. The cheese and soup were sooooo good together. The fries were also amazing! I loved the sweetly and salty pork along the cheesy crispy fries. This is a very causal restaurant and the prices reflect that. Very happy with the taste, quality, and price of the food! Would definitely come back again!!

When we've come with friends or larger groups, the service has been much more mediocre. The first time we visited, one of the waitresses was surprisingly rude when I asked about vegetarian options. All she said was "salad," despite there being multiple salads (2 out of the 3) on the menu, including a Caesar with anchovy and a wedge salad with bacon. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and was much more helpful and respectful. I'm not sure why vegetarian requests are sometimes treated like an inconvenience or unusual concept. I'm married to a huge meat eater and enjoy going to places he likes, but I do wish vegetarian guests were met with a little more patience and understanding. Especially when I am the one paying the bill. The atmosphere is loud and busy, but they are generally accommodating. For larger parties, they require a credit card to hold the reservation and give a limited grace period, with a fee of around $15 per person for no-shows. I understand why restaurants have policies like this, but it felt a little unfair considering we still had to wait around 15-20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. If guests are expected to strictly follow time slots, I think the restaurant should also try to hold themselves to those same standards. It also took close to two hours for our food to come out, and we repeatedly had to ask for smaller things like water or hot sauce. I completely understand that larger parties can take longer, but we were a group of seven, which didn't seem unusually large. Overall, the food and atmosphere keep us coming back, but the consistency in service could definitely be improved.

You cannot get an adult beverage there, but you can get water and Pepsi products. They offer appetizers and full entrees. We ended up each getting "bites" which were a cheesesteak sandwich and mine was a gyro but not called that. The bites offered your choice of sides-fries, side salad, fruit cup which I chose the side Caesar salad. The salad was very hefty for a side salad and he got the fries which were tasty. Daniel was our waiter but all the staff were friendly! They had fly fans for the tables which were helpful because we ate outside. I don't even know if there is an inside?!

We arrived, sat ourselves, only ones in the restaurant. The servers were so friendly and the food speaks for itself. Our drinks were stiff and delicious and we had fun looking at all the different things on their menu. "Eclectic" certainly describes this place. From rabbit, to elk to bison to kangaroo. We all tried the kangaroo (Aussie frites) albeit chewy, the flavor was good. Everything is fresh and made from scratch, even their ketchup. We all enjoyed our meals, the "kid-cuterie" was adorable and they do have pizza, for those not as adventurous. My elk burger had duck prosciutto, so good. My husband had one of each patty (elk and bison) and the wild boar soup. My new go to when people are visiting or future date nights
