    Steak and eggs, asked for steak to be made medium. Very undercooked. Took it home to cook it ourselves.

    Ordered the steak and eggs. Eggs were fine, hashbrowns were perfect. Asked for steak to be medium and it came out like this. Very undercooked but that's okay decided to take it home to cook it. Are everything else though

    Love the people here such nice workers and the atmosphere is great! Workout shoutout noah and nina. And the food is fresh and well made maybe a tiny bit over priced.

    Stopped for lunch but didn't stop being impressed the whole time. From start to finish this was a perfect lunch stop after a morning of travel. We got there a little after 12 so maybe the lunch rush had died down, but we were immediately seated and served. There's a ton of seating with large tables so out small group of 4 easily got a spot. Would definitely be able to accommodate 6 people though at most tables. I'd call ahead if any larger than 8 though. Service was excellent. My iced tea arrived swiftly and tasty. I ended up going with the daily special which was an avocado, mushroom, tomato sandwich with a salad so light and refreshing!! My wife got hash browns and the Reuben soup which was to die for! So tasty. My sisters boyfriend who is a harsh critic of burgers said his burger was excellent. 5/5 would stop for breakfast or lunch!

    The wrapped chair

    Went here on a Friday for lunch and did takeout. It was great to see all of the waitresses wearing a face mask and all of the guests were spaced pretty far apart. We were even spaced from the rest of the guests while ordering at the counter. We ordered the Wrapped Chair and the Lazy Boy, both with salads and Dijon mustard vinaigrette dressing. The Wrapped Chair was just what I wanted on a hot day! Good balance of turkey to veggies and sauce. I did get the ranch cream cheese on the side because I'm always worried of there being to much dressing in wraps, but I think it would have been fine had I left it in. Great flavor in the ranch cream cheese! We even ended up saving to use on other things later. The Lazy Boy was a nice variation on a club sandwich. It had a good crunch, but could maybe have had a little less butter on the bread. The sprouts were definitely one of the highlights though. We were also pleased that there were sprouts on the side salad. Overall, great place to grab lunch. The food came out very quick and the waitress was super accommodating asking if we needed silverware and giving suggestions on dressings. We will definitely go back if we are in the area again! Mainly because the breakfast also looked really good.

    A marvelous place for breakfast-brunch! A very homey looking restaurant filled with antique items throughout the walls. It's very busy and successful. The young ladies working there are very organized. The breakfast plates are large servings. Lots of sandwiches, soups, salads and wraps. Lots of parking on the road. Lots of emblems of approvals on the front door.

    This cafe was exactly what we needed after a morning tour of the city. The fare was light and delicious and very reasonably priced. The menu had a little bit of everything and was easily able to satisfy our group of four. The service was quick and friendly, everyone had a smile on their face and seemed to enjoy their job! There are very cool Knick knacks to visually enjoy with you dine such as a bicycle and a ton of old photos. Street parking.

    I had heard about this place previously, and it was EXCELLENT!! Service was great, food was amazing! Decor and overall ambiance feels like grandmas house where everyone gathers around the table to feast and enjoy each other's company! Love it!

We sat down and waited a considerable amount of time for our drinks. 10 minutes maybe. When we got our order in, it took about an hour to come out. Our waiter told us pretty much as we got our food that there was a wait because a big party decided to order a lot of food. I do not think it is fair to make a two top wait as long as what seemed to be a ten-twelve top to get their food. Those people were comfortable and (really loud...) and happy to sit and chat while my partner and I were already itching to leave thirty minutes in due to the noise... we got our food and luckily it was good and we wanted to order more but truly we decided it was not worth the wait due to all the people and fear of having a wait again. We promptly asked for the check so we can leave and go to Culver's. I would have appreciated a heads up about the wait as soon as they figured it would be a while. Not a minute before we received our food. I get that things run behind but they didn't look short on servers based on the space. Someone should have told us a lot sooner. And the noise, man... there's a point where you gotta tell people to quiet down.

Their daily specials are generally inventive like Strawberry Rhubarb Fat French Toast, Pot Roast Omelette, Beet Panini, etc. They usually have equally interesting drink options such as the caramel apple latte, which was divine. They also are a full fledged bake shop, making all of their breads and cakes and pastries in house. All of it is worth checking out. Here's a place with a commitment to super high quality, better than average cafe fare, at a good price and friendly service. I always stop here whenever I go into upper WI to fish.

We arrived around 9 am on a Wednesday and it was very busy--they had already sold out of one of the breakfast specials. That said, we were still seated right away and had water and our chosen beverages in front of us in a jiffy (and my coffee was topped off regularly). Dawn was our server and she was very pleasant and helpful when I had a question about the menu. My guy had two blueberry pancakes with bacon, and I had biscuits & gravy with hash browns. The pancakes were fluffy and satisfying, and the biscuits & gravy were packed full of flavor. LFG's breakfast was delicious, and a great price!
