    For lunch, I ordered The Gouda Burger and the Soup of the Day which was phenomenal.
    Stephanie A.

    I really can't think of anything bad to say! I'm a very picky yelp-eliter BUT I truly cannot say anything bad about this place. They're in a plaza area, so parking is easy! Once we walked in, greeted right away and it smelled so good and looked so clean! Our server was top notch. I wish I remembered his name but wow, he was the sweetest, so friendly, knew everything of the menu, the drinks and all! He answered all our questions for us and recommended some great foods! I ordered the Gouda Burger, which he recommended and said they were known for and it did NOT DISAPPOINT! It comes with sides and I went with fruit to balance out my burger :) Then I ordered a cup of the soup of the day, I wish I remembered the name of it but it was DELICIOUS. For appetizers, we ordered the sun dried tomatoe bread with the rosemary butter oil on the side to dip it in (not pictured cause I was honestly so hungry!) and it was so good. My girlfriends ordered their pink mocha's and they LOVED it! They have a cool coffee menu. I LOVE THE PORTION AS WELL. Not too big not too small. Just right. Would come here again... probably very soon!

    Tomatoes cream soup

    The food was Great ! Love the Ambience of this family oriented restaurant in the windmill station. We arrived for lunch and had some very welcoming ladies greeting us and instructing us to take a seat where we would like. Our waitress Jaden I hope I spelled her name right Was very attentive to us as customers. We started our experience with a bread basket with dipping oil. The bread is made in house ! I followed the bread with Spinach and artichoke dip. I had a unsweetened iced tea and my companion had a lavender iced tea I would totally recommend (Keep in mind for a refill of lavender iced tea it is 50¢) but it's worth I had a Tomato cream soup cup ( The soup of the day ) With a West of Eden sandwich a perfect accompany to each other ! The Gouda Burger was served to my Companion a tower of wonderful ingredients presented to make you take a bite and enjoy for sure! We took an Alexander the Great salad home definitely going to enjoy it aswell! Can't wait to visit The River Nile again !!

    Chicken Salad Sandwich (beats Chicken Salad Chick) to pieces! Side Sweet Potato Fries and tomato bisque. Highly recommend this restaurant

    Fantastic food and great service. Very high-end sandwich shop. Wandered into this restaurant following Yelp and I wasn't disappointed. Highly recommend eating here.

    Passed through Dothan for a sweet treat on our way to Knoxville. Ordered famous beignets, chocolate brownie, buttercream cake and a chocolate chip cookie. Y'all, the beignets were phenomenal!! Melt in your mouth and beg for mercy good! All the treats were awesome and our server and the owner were absolutely precious and so kind. Do not miss this gem!!

    Just a nice little side salad

    Holy moly! Where has this place been?!? Fancy coffee, DELICIOUS SOUP AND BREAD. I realized that the reason I kept missing this place is because I'm always running errands in Dothan after they close. We had already attacked the food when it came so my pictures kinda stink...apologies. Next time, I'm ordering way less...so I have room for dessert!

    My mom has been telling about this spot for a bit, I was super excited when she mentioned she…read morewanted to go. My mom and I popped in for some coffee and a sweet. There are a host of seating options, high tops, four taps, couches, long tables, wing back chairs... yes wingback chairs!! The whole vibe is chill, relaxing and comfortable. They have Wi-Fi for customers. I ordered a chai tea latte, my mom had an Americano. For sweets, well it was hard to choose. I was super impressed that they have gluten free and vegan selections here! That can be hard to find. My mom and I ended up getting the cheesecake and some brownies. My chai tea, was made exactly the way I like it. The brownie was quite good, I felt it was rich and you could totally share it with a friend. However, my mom devoured hers with no assistance... so that could be just me. The cheesecake. Well you should know I am a totally cheesecake snob. It's ok, I'll admit it. My dad and I would alwys taste and rate cheesecakes when we would travel. I wasn't sure what to expect from this one. But. It was Lucious, creamy, rich, not too sweet and the texture was phenomenal!! While we were there we got to meet Keith. He is the owner, and his lovely bride. They both chatted with me and my mom for a few minutes. They had such a caring way about them. Keith also told me that they started serving lunch. While we were there to late today, I hope to visit for lunch soon!! One thing my mom also likes is their take away food. They have casseroles, as well as salads that you can take and bale at home. She has had them and loves them! If you are in the area and hungry or thirsty, pop on in. You can thank me later.

    My family had an engagement party over the weekend here it was absolutely wonderful. Everything was…read moreGreat ! The food was amazing.
