Yay! Our new favorite lunch place on Main Street!…read more We just stopped by last weekend, we've been wanting to try this place out but it just hadn't happened.... Last Monday we decided to have lunch there, one of our regular places is closed Mondays and this place was open so we checked it out...and we're SO SO glad we did! Atmosphere was nice and server was very friendly from the moment we walked in. First thing I noticed; $5 mimosas!! I asked if they did anything other than orange juice and yes, they had several other options so I had the cranberry version. Delicious! I went with their mac and cheese, my partner got the basic hamburger. Mac and Cheese -- definitely very bacon forward, much more than I prefer. That being said, I still liked it, it also had sour cream and green onion on top. Bacon lovers will LOOOVE this version, there is LOTS of it and every bite you can taste it. Normally I prefer my mac & cheese with no bacon or just a bit here and there, I prefer to taste more of the cheeses.....again, it still tasted good, its a good serving and I ate half and had enough to save for the next day at work. Creamy and well made, again I just prefer to taste more cheese than bacon. I wouldn't order this again but like I said, a bacon lover will LOVE this version. Now, my partner's burger was Incredible. We are PICKY with our burgers, and we both thought this one was fantastic. Big, and great ratio to the bun. He ordered it medium and asked for "a little char" and they made it perfectly. I took a bite and yeah, I'd order that for sure. The fries were great, too. Overall we were super happy with our lunch, I thought it was priced fairly as well. We will definitely be back!!

I'll give 2* because the food (when it came) was great…read more We've been to Franny's a couple times before and had O.K. service and good food. The pitfalls of the restaurant seem to be entirely the service. Most recently we went to Franny's on Mother's Day. We had reservations and walked in, on time. We were initially sat in a nice booth in the front of the restaurant. It was my wife and I plus our 2 kids, the table size seemed appropriate. After being sat, we sat without talking to a server for 10+ minutes, not even getting waters. Eventually, when someone did come, it was a waitress/hostess telling us that there had been a mix up, and we needed to move. We weren't excited on the idea, as we were happy where we were, but we moved to the back of the restaurant. This time we sat for 15 minutes without being acknowledged by any wait staff. At this point it is 9:25 and we've been seated for 25 minutes without even water. Finally a waitress comes, and takes our drink order, and our food order as we'd definitely had ample time to look over the menu. About 9:50 the food arrives. My wife and kids' food comes and is great. My food comes and looks off, and the waitress tells me that the kitchen accidentally made me a "veggie" scramble instead of the chorizo that I had ordered, but that she'd get me some bacon and all was well. I asked what was in the veggie scramble and was told it has mushrooms, which is a hard pass for me. She told me she could have what I had actually ordered made but it would "take a long time". I said O.K. - what else was I going to do? Finally it comes, and my wife is done eating, and the kids are close, so, I asked for it to be "boxed up". The waitress rolled her eyes and set to the task. I'm not a restaurant snob - but I really expected an apology or something to be "comp'd" due to the rough experience, but nope, full bill and no apology. Regrettably, despite Franny's being a local joint and having good food, we won't be back.

NEVER have I met a more ENTHUSIASTIC Chef, that radiates JOY in what he is doing! :) He made my burger JUST the way I wanted it (delicious too) and my husband RAVED about his flavorful stuffed lamb burger! Our sides were grilled vegetables, fries and the sweet potato dollops. YUM-YUM! It's located in Old Town P-ville, in an 'Old West' turn-of-the-century building, so expect a quirky interior. To me it's part of the charm! And the mascot of the place is a 35 year-old parrot named Sierra, who will squawk a welcome to you! This place is worth a visit!

The setting is a family friendly American comfort food type place. Plenty of breakfast options, sandwiches, burgers, and heartier dinner platters. I didn't know what to get....the open faced turkey sandwich sounded delicious, but might have been heavy for a hot afternoon, so I ordered a simple cheese omelette. It wasn't overdone, and had a good amount of cheese. The hash browns were near perfect... crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. My sister, a French dip connoisseur, loved her sandwich, and wishes she lived here so she could take it home. High compliments from her. Prices were reasonable, too, so for a quick bite much better than fast food, I would recommend.

Those stops became part of the journey. Today I stopped again. I skipped the pie this time, but ordered the Club sandwich. It was just as fresh and satisfying as I remembered. The turkey was tender, the ham and bacon were flavorful, the vegetables were crisp, and the bread was soft and fresh. With every bite, I found myself thinking about my dad. Sometimes a restaurant is more than just a place to eat. It's where memories are made and revisited years later. Thank you, Buttercup Pantry, for keeping this tradition alive. I'll definitely be back... and next time, I'll probably have the pie.

Besides being a great bar it also caters to families. The server here was excellent. She was genuinely very friendly, had great suggestions, and checked in on us just the right amount of times through the dinner. My wife and I shared a few dishes. The nachos here were different, but really fun and flavorful. They use kettle chips and put a kitchen sink of toppings on it. It's creamy, spicy, and the meat on it is very tender. My wife loved the Berry salad, and I also enjoyed the Bahn Mi Tacos. The Bahn Mi tacos had a Korean style pork on them that was very tender and juicy. The slaw on the side added a good crunch. My daughter had a kids cheese pizza and a hot dog. She was very happy!

It was late in the afternoon, and we were lucky to find a parking spot right in front. The restaurant was not too busy, so we were seated immediately. Brick's is large, with plenty of tables and booths, and we chose to sit in a booth. Looking around, I liked the look and feel of the place. It has a mix of old and new and feels casual and comfortable. Our server, a very professional and friendly young lady, answered our questions and took our orders carefully. We started with the Pound of Wings, and I had one of their lighter draft beers, though I don't recall its name. Both hit the spot! The wings were done just right, and the beer was a good complement. For my main course, I had the Blackened Chicken Cobb Salad, which came with chicken breast, bacon, diced egg, romaine lettuce, blue cheese, and blue cheese dressing. My companions ordered the Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad and Creamy Salmon Florentine, and everyone enjoyed their meals. My salad was exactly what I had hoped for. It was filling without feeling too heavy. The chicken was cooked properly and wasn't too dry, and the salad was fresh, making the whole combination an enjoyable meal for me. We would have stayed a bit longer, perhaps for coffee and a small dessert, but time was running out, and we had to get going. We enjoyed the experience and decided we'd come back the next time we're in the area.
