Breakfast and lunch are served anytime. We sat at the bar because the seven booths were filled - the place is popular and tiny. An ancient safe stands behind the counter. Water cups advertise local businesses. I ordered the soup of the day - Loaded Potato. The soup was filled with potatoes, ham and cheese in a creamy soup base. The soup was hot, delicious and I could tell it was fresh made. My husband had a grilled cheese with fries. The order of crinkle cut fries was generous. His grilled cheese was old school with American cheese on white toast grilled just like mama used to make. The staff is super friendly and checked on us regularly. The food came out very fast. The place has a homey feel. We found free parking on the side of the building, which we entered from a back street. Other people were having breakfast, which looked awesome. Worth checking out.

I discovered this Mexican restaurant on the west side of town while looking for a place to eat…read morebefore heading to the Wayne County Fairgrounds. From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look particularly appealing and seems a bit isolated, so I was initially hesitant to stop in. However, once I walked inside, it was a completely different story! The restaurant is spacious, clean, and looks nice, and the menu offers plenty of options. I ordered the Burrito Mexicana, which was a huge plate featuring one giant burrito served with a salad. I especially enjoyed the steak filling inside the burrito. Overall, the food was excellent and tasted fresh. The portion size and quality were both great for the price. I would definitely come back here again on my way to the fair!

The place is very clean and unique with the brick exposed wall and all the very nice wood. Drinks my BFF got a soda and I ordered an old fashioned. Super tasty drink. We ordered the Fougase Bread well this was yummy to say the least. Kind of a light garlic butter on top served with marinara sauce. For our main we ordered the Detroit style pizza Motown. Pepperoni with hot honey. Hello you had me at hot honey. The food came out hot and was all delicious. The drinks were also very good. The sauce was getting all over my beard so we did request extra napkins which arrive asap and was very helpful. When I come back I want to try another pizza option but I really want to try the Praline Eclair Cake. I will say the young lady that was the bartender was super nice and took amazing care of both of us. We will be back.

The interior's smaller than I expected....we sat next to the windows in the front corner by the door and it was cold on a winter night. Our server was great. In a town where Pizza King reigns supreme, this is pretty fancy stuff by comparison. We got a red pizza - the Bushwick with soppressata, mozz and a honey drizzle, and a white pizza - the sausage and chives. Both were tasty. The crust is thin, authentic Italian style and crusty around the edges. I'm assuming these pizzas are cooked fast in a wood-fired oven. My kiddo drank water, and I had two pints of the craft lager beer made in house. A little on the watery side, but would be very refreshing to drink in the summer. Everything was good, but overall, seemed a little overpriced. Our bill came to $60 for two pizzas and two beers.

This is definitely not a Chinese hot pot restaurant. The head cook and bottle washer (I'm not…read morekidding!) didn't even know what a hot pot was, even though they've owned the place for years. I'm surprised that they didn't change the name. She told me that someone else had stopped recently thinking that it was a Chinese place. Seeing the pumpkin pie under Desserts on the sign as I entered was a clue. I thought "oh, what the heck!", and she said that she'd bring a menu to me in just a moment. There was only one person seated in the restaurant but it was possibly too early for many people. After a short delay, she arrived with the menu and asked what I wanted to drink. I ordered a sweet tea. Perusing the menu, I thought I'd try the meatloaf sandwich. That sounded like something typically Indiana. She was out of meatloaf. (As I learnt later, the walk-in cooler had been repaired but she had thrown out possibly spoiled food and was waiting for the cooler to become cooler.) I ordered the fish tail sandwich. Rather than just have a little rectangle mostly hidden by the bun, this was long enough to be seen quite well on each end. I bit off one end before taking the photo, so sorry about that. I also ordered seasoned fries. It took a little while, and a couple entered, so the woman in charge of it all had to multi-task. I wonder what happens if she's really busy. The food was good, although the seasoned fries could have used more seasoning. They seemed to have a layer of breading with mild paprika, when they should have had a mix of mild and spicy paprika. The food was prepared as well as you could expect, and it was obvious that she cared. She and her husband took time to talk, which was quite pleasant. They weren't intrusive but they seemed genuinely interested. She was definitely interested in what a hot pot was. Being between Quizno's and Mancino's, someone might miss the place, especially with the McDonald's drive-thru line into 30th Street. Shouldn't it wind in front of Kroger's instead? Geez. Of course, people could just avoid McDonald's and go to The Hot Pot Restaurant. Update 2013.09.24: I was in Connersville photographing cross country and stopped ahead of time. Tried the meat loaf sandwich and a taco. I wish the meat loaf had as much meat as it had loaf. It seemed a bit spongy. The taco was okay but it really didn't compel me, either.

But don't hesitate to get in here, just watch your step a bit. It's dim and romantic with a retro vibe. We ate at the bar which always tends to give a good feel for a new place. There were two barmaids who came and went as they had to serve tables too, but service was quite attentive. We were primarily served by Melissa (I hope I remembered her name right!) and she was so helpful with answering questions. We happened to come on the half price app day** so naturally we tried the Breaking Bread... incredible, easily sufficient for four people to share. It was warm, soft, cheesy and full of flavor. The marinara was delicious as was the blended cheese dip. We took half home and enjoyed it the next day. My husband had the smoked salmon sandwich. It was beautiful to behold, smelled so delectable, and off the charts delicious. After I took a bite I was jealous. I did thoroughly enjoy my BLT+E with a wonderful runny egg and thick fresh tomato. I think I would have liked it better on toasted bread vs. the bun. Everything on the menu sounded good. I had a peek at the brunch menu too. I had a cocktail called the Farm Market which was so refreshing and like a taste of summer which I needed badly on this bitter cold evening. They have a great cocktail list and of course an extensive wine list which is set up in unique categories and fun to read. My husband was happy with his wine. They also have port! Four kinds! Melissa kindly gave me a taste of one and I am SO coming back for a port flight. A word on accessibility- the main entrance has two steps up and there are sturdy grab bars on both sides but you do need to be a bit cautious at the bottom. I was told there is a rear or side entry that is wheelchair accessible. It was way too cold to explore but I'll check it out on our next visit in the very near future. If you're thinking of giving the Cork a try, don't hesitate. It's fabulous. **Yelp advises they are removing Tips (boo) so I'll note again here that apps are half price all night on Thursdays.

Our server did not check in with us regularly, either. The restaurant has discontinued their french press coffee, so that also was a disappointment.
