    Quaint, tasty, will return!

    Pleasant little place for breakfast in Wilmington. We ate outside and were surprised by a sign on chalkboard inviting us to grab a coffee and menu. They have WiFi. It felt like we were welcomed old friends. Food was good. If you want to be treated like royalty, find a stuffy, overpriced place to eat in Lake Placid. If you want to feel like family and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere (dogs are welcome on the patio, too), eat here.

    Great spot on 86. The roasted cauliflower sub was a great idea. Raisins, onion in a great dressing on lightly toasted bun.

    Friendly, no-frills diner with a nice outdoor seating area, serving breakfast and lunch. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

    Really small portions, fries were greasy and almost burned. I would not recommend it.

    The seafood scampi did not disappoint and the bacon cheeseburger was also very good.

    Needed a place to stop for something to eat and drink. This was the closest place and it ended up…read morebeing a great little stop. We were in the mood for lunch and they were only serving breakfast that Sunday. So, we opted for the most lunch-ish thing available that wasn't too heavy. Bagels and cream cheese. They were perfectly toasted and there was plenty of spreadable cream cheese. It made for a perfect light lunch. I don't eat eggs, so it did limit my options. If you do eat eggs, their breakfast dishes with eggs look amazing. Of course, we tried the coffee. It was very good and we loved the mugs. The place is rustic-charming. The service was good. It's a busy place. We loved the regulars who stopped in and didn't even need to say what they wanted. The servers already knew. The service is good but slow. Not sure if that's because they were busy or if they're just not the type to rush things. The bathrooms are clean. There is an up-charge for credit cards. It's hard to resist buying mugs and coffee to take home. The cookies were so hard to resist we bought some to keep us snack-happy on our travels. Definitely a good place to stop.

While I haven't had the opportunity to try the entire menu just yet, I can say confidently the home fries live up to the hype. I understand why they're called home fries because they reminded me of home. It looks like they're doing some renovation on the second floor, I wonder if that'll result in even more seating. If that's the case then it'll take this cafe to the next level.

    This used to be one of our favorite places, but the last 3 times we have been here the service has…read morebeen pretty bad (nice people but not enough help and zero management). They do not train their staff well, and there is clearly a lot of disorganization. On top of that, they have changed the menus and completely removed signatures like the pizza which was one of the best in town. Pretty disappointing as we always liked the vibe. They need a real manager in here to turn things around. They will lose a lot of summer business in the meantime.

    We stopped into Big Slide this evening for a spur of the moment Father's Day dinner. After going…read moreover the menu options we went with three kids meals, the Tacos Al Pastor, and the Chicken Quesadilla. Our server was Rylan, who was absolutely fantastic! He was polite, extremely personable, and gave a great recommendation to me on the quesadilla, which turned out to be spot on and was DELICIOUS! I couldn't stop saying how good it was. I also got a flight of 5 beers, which themselves were each unique and enjoyable. Overall we didn't expect much going to a Mexican themed restaurant at a brewery, but we left very impressed and happy we gave it a go. Thanks to Rylan and the kitchen, we had a great experience and would highly recommend giving them a try if in the area. Also I'd note that it was almost empty (A Sunday) when we arrived at almost 5:30, but by the time we left there wasn't an empty seat in the place. So it seems they got a good thing going here
