Poke, sandwiches, grain bowls, pizza, all day breakfast items. I just needed a snack, so I chose the avocado toast, a perfectly toasted thick slice of fresh bread layered with fresh avocado, red onion and grape tomatoes. The cayenne cranberry lemonade was perfectly sweet with a nice kick. Service was excellent, too. Well worth the visit.

So we checked out of a hotel down the road, and instead of enjoying their free breakfast of cereal…read moreand maybe a waffle, my wife suggested Wade's. She had been here before, so I'm thinking sure why not. We walked in and sat right up at the counter and the gentleman that was working the grill was super friendly. He's basically cooking for the whole restaurant with another guy next to him and yet still found the time to welcome us in and take our order. I got the southwestern omelette that is made with homemade chorizo hash and he asked if I would like some jalapeno chopped up in there to which I said sure why not. Comes with a side of toast and potatoes... My wife gets eggs benedict, and they have a menu item called the Benny extreme which is the same basically but it comes with tomato and spinach, so she opted for this. She also ordered a cinnamon swirl pancake. I'm thinking hey that sounds pretty good, so I asked if I could also have a cinnamon swirl pancake. The gentleman taking our order just kind of looked at me and said are you sure? So now I'm thinking to myself yes yes of course I'm sure I've had pancakes before, some places I go to I get a whole stack of them, I'm thinking I can handle one and I'll use it as like a dessert item. He says okay, smiles, and they prepare our food. Everything tasted wonderful. The hash was excellent, at least I think it was I mean I've never had it before but no complaints. The only surprise I had was the pancake. It was on its own dinner plate. This thing was freaking huge. We could have easily shared one and maybe had leftovers as we also both ordered breakfast in addition to these two monster pancakes. Now please understand I was in no way upset. While it is true my wife could have warned me about the size, and he could have said something as well, it was okay. I still finished everything and most of my pancake. Over all the service was great, like I said this guy was cooking for the whole restaurant and he's still found the time to check on us and made sure our coffee was full. I will definitely go back next time I'm in the area however it might be a little while because I live a couple hours away. The only thing I wish I had done that I forgot, when you order toast with your breakfast, the bread is homemade and they sell it by the loaf. White, wheat, rye, they have all of it. I meant to buy a loaf and I forgot. I look at it now though it's just an excuse to go back, and of course to grab another one of those pancakes... The only other thing that I could mention is that the place is a little smaller than I had expected. Everything was nice and clean so that's a bonus however for the business they're doing, and the number of people waiting to get a table, they could use a larger dining room.

Saw the special board and opted for the ham and cheese omelette. It is served with home fries and a side of toast. The ham appeared to be cut off a roast, good flavor. The home fries were sliced small potatoes instead of chunks but were fully cooked and had the skin on. Service was good - attentive and quick to fill the coffee. Definitely worth stopping in if your in the area or passing through.

They also have excellent mashed potatoes. The salad bar is a huge bonus. Good way to make sure you get some vegetables in a city not known for healthy food. Most recently, I had a buffalo chicken wrap. It was spicier than I expected. A little too hot for me. Luckily I had the mashed potatoes to balance it out. Service consistently above average. If I would criticize anything, it's that the dining room feels worn. Years ago, this place was a fine dining establishment before it shifted into a tavern concept. It's like the interior hasn't been updated since then, so it feels like a worn fine dining room. But I'm reluctant to mark it down for that. It's clean and it's advertised as a tavern. That's good enough for me.
