What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"When you come in the place has minimal natural lighting and not much unnatural lighting either.. it comes off a little gloomy at 4pm. Its an older building with the dust ajd cobwebs to prove it. The Halloween decorations are cute though. The food is pretty lack luster. I came here specifically for the potato skins and they came out with cold cheddar cheese shreds sprinkled on top. I got the meatloaf w/ Mashed potatoes and gravy + Mac and cheese. The meat loaf was pretty bland but I didnt mind it. The Mac tasted like day old Kraft microwave and reheated. The mashed potatoes weren't even warm nor was the gravy on top (which was engulfing the meatloaf as well). Didn't hit the mark this time."
"Beautiful restaurant. The Rueben sandwich are not really worth it and its kind of blend. But the burger is definitely the one to order, also the sides including Onion rings and home fries are finger leaking good. The lasagna is also really good"
"The Turkey Reuben had a lot of meat and was juicy. The iced coffee was watery and came with whipped cream on top, so it was like sweet water. The deep fried shrimp only had six pieces and the side fries were bigger portions. The food took quite long and we were never given water refills."
"I do not recommend this restaurant. A couple of months ago I ordered wings and when I ate them they had blood on them and they were not cooked properly and I threw them away. I thought it was just a mistake and I let it go. But yesterday I ordered wings again and this time they were burnt very hard. Here is a photo."
"I had an excellent experience at the courier cafe. As soon as you sit down you are met with a unique charm, and a very interesting description about each artifact on the menu. The food is great! I got the breakfast sandwich and was satisfied with the portion and flavor. Andrea is extremely kind and helpful during the ordering process, and clearly enjoys her job, taking every effort to make the best experience for the customer."
"This was a top notch place back in the day! But past owner from the 1980's, Allen Strong, has retired and the new owners don't seem to add much. A glass..."
