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.

There is no 'meat taste' at all so get in here and give these a try. I had a feeling I would love it and I did. It's a large yet cozy venue with the number 5 featured prominently in assorted art as well as on the tables. The building is historic, lots of wood, brick and brass railings plus a stunning Victorian bar back. We ate at the bar which was very comfortable. Little sliding wooden trays to make it convenient for eating, then just move them out of the way when you're done. They have 10 or so craft beers on tap and a full bar. We had the opportunity to sample a couple brews and we both enjoyed our beer choices and the food. Prices were fair, and tax is included in the menu price. I really want to shout out our bartender/server. Didn't get her name but she had round glasses with eyeglass chain attached and was on the shorter side. She was very customer focused, answering all our first-timer questions, attentive, appropriately conversational, and definitely on the ball as she was handling tables too. Top notch service. About those railings: unless there's a special back entrance, the venue may not be wheelchair accessible. There are two or three steps at the entrance, and if you want the bar instead of booth or table, another three or four. Both have sturdy solid handrails. I do not fault them for this; probably the historic building is exempt, but just wanted to note it for anyone needing that info. All in all a five star experience and I hope to return soon.

Definitely a popular place. I noticed many construction workers but also several families with kids. The menu was fairly simple: burgers, sandwiches, burritos, chili, salad. Customers line up at the counter to place their orders. There were several cheese options for the sandwiches and burritos. There was an extensive breakfast menu. I would probably return for breakfast, but I wasn't overly impressed with the burrito I ordered for lunch. When I ordered a burrito, and was asked what I wanted on the burrito I started with asking for beans and rice. That request earned a rather puzzled look from the employee, and he said they didn't have beans. I guess I had just assumed that if they had burritos on the menu they would have beans and rice to put in them. So I just requested cheese and chopped tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, salsa, and chipotle sauce. The burrito was fine. The food quality was average to slightly below average. For example, an employee opened a large bag of shredded lettuce in front of me and dumped it into the bin. I'm guessing other ingredients were prepackaged and pre prepped. Employees were friendly and obviously this place is a local favorite. Prices are very reasonable. I would give it another try for breakfast but wouldn't order another burrito.

It felt as if it is under NEW Ownership. We were greeted by a grumpy older lady. We did not see the staff that we normally see. The servers that we did see were very nice. I gave the Servers the star in the review. They were the ONLY stars there. The menu had changed since the last time we were there, about a month ago. LOTS fewer options, more Pizza & Italian. The quality of the food was extremely lacking. My Wife had the fried shrimp basket. It had 5 small flat shrimp (like the ones at the buffets) some fries & a drink. If you took the breading off of the shrimp it was about the size of a guppy. My son also had the Shrimp basket. The shrimp was the same as above. He had 2 sides, about a tablespoon each, Cottage cheese & Broccoli Salad. I was looking for the Bacon Cheese Burger, I was told "it has been removed from the menu & replaced by the Smash Burger, much less meat in the Smash Burger". The server said "you can order a Smash Burger and add bacon & Cheese" (up charge). I opted for an old favorite Tenderloin, it was OK, nothing great. NOTHING was as good as we had ALWAYS received in the past. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED we will not go back

Ambiance is pretty solid. And the beer is, no joke, pretty good. The deep dish is not to be overlooked. It's all sourdough crust so it doesn't bloat the belly as much as conventional crust pizza. The ONLY thing I can criticize fairly is that the mixed drinks are too sweet, and also lacking a bit in complexity.

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.

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.

The Burgers are fairly good. If i was judging the food quality alone, it'd be like 3 stars. But the menu offerings, the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service are all boosting the overall experience. The atmosphere is lovely in a historic general store with antique shelves and woodwork. Often live piano music on the weekends.

As they handed the banana splits out the window they said you might want to freeze these when you get home. It kind of confuses me in about 30 seconds later as I placed them in my vehicle, I figured out they were already melting. Not sure if there was an issue that day with the soft serve machine, but I only live 3 miles away and by the time I got home, they were half melted and a big pile of goo. I guess I just wish that if something was wrong with the ice cream machine that they had told me upfront and I could've made a different decision. It was 830 at night and I didn't want to go home and have to put ice cream in the freezer for an hour before we could enjoy it. Usually we love banana splits here, and the melted concoctions tasted good. We just all had to eat them with a plate under the container so it didn't run all over the place.
