What People Are Saying
from Google"Loved it! Don't let the outside appearance scare you. So worth the stop. Totally your greasy spoon dive bar with great food. I came in wanting a delicious juicy thick hamburger with traditional toppings and a soft honey bun and they did not disappoint. Came with perfectly crisp tots. Husband got waffle fries with his. Topped it all off with a tall Hudy. Discovered by accident. So glad we did!"
"I was looking for a quick latte and breakfast sandwich to go, and was surprised when the cafe looked more like a bar, but is actually both! They don't have an espresso machine, so I got some diner style coffee that was also pretty good, and a fantastic French toast sandwich that was better than I had any right to expect it to be! I'm definitely gonna be coming back, except probably earlier in the morning so I can sit and enjoy it."

"Update: The omelettes are also good and you can build your own. I added a half order of French toast to complete my breakfast. ----- Initial Review ----- I came specifically for the French Toast Sammie on their brunch menu. I up-sized it to the double decker version because it's a great value. The food was really good and filling, but took a little while since there were a lot of orders before mine and only one cook. The server and bartender were very friendly tho and kept my coffee and water topped off. It's a morning-through-lunch bar and grill, so there's a mix of people dining and/or drinking, but all nice folks. I've been here before for burgers and beers on their patio and those were good times as well. Btw it's only a couple blocks from Findlay Market."
