What People Are Saying
from Google"Our first time there, it's a hidden gem in the making. Spacious factory feel inside and comfortable chairs! They have a stage, wonder if they get some good acts? We arrived at 10:00am for brunch, took family members for a birthday celebration. Drink orders were taken immediately. We got the mimosa bucket for 4 in addition to coffee and tea. It arrives with orange juice separate from the bubbly so you can mix your own 👍🏻 Food came quickly and looked very appetizing... and it was! I was expecting a lil more potatoes on the side dish and when it states strawberries come with the chicken and waffle, I was expecting more than 1.5 strawberries...especially since that dish is more expensive than the others! See the pictures. It was easy to get there and handicapped accessible (ramp). I didn't think it was parking friendly for handicapped. I am interested in seeing what this place becomes as it morphs. I'll give it another try."
"My sister and I decided to stop here because we were traveling & wanted to try something new, we LOVED it here! We loved the vibes, the music, the decor, etc! our waitress was very sweet and attentive, and our food was delicious and came extremely fast! Whenever we are traveling in the area we will definitely come back!!"
"This place is a hidden Gem! I had the pick two from the menu, a half a turkey sandwich and half a salad. The salad was packed full and very nutritious. Leafy greens, chopped walnuts, and house dressing. Located on W. Main St. in Newark, Ohio. This place is just West of the big Longaberger Basket Building."
"I sure hope the coffee and cocktails are better than the food. Stopped in for lunch today to check out a new local spot, after seeing raving reviews I thought taking my wife and grandchild in for a quick impromptu lunch would be fun. Menu looked great lots of choices and reasonably priced for the market by today's standards. The decor and fact that the building holds certain nostalgic value was a nice touch. Now about the food, we ordered turkey club and fries, lunch special club and broccoli cheddar soup, and a grilled cheese and fries for the grandchild. I'm not sure what took place in the kitchen but the grilled cheese came out looking burnt on the inside and couldn't even be bitten through, the waffle fries were so over done that they were beyond crispy and the soup tasted like it has be burnt in a crockpot for several hours. The only thing edible was the turkey club that the 3 of us split. I asked for the check and the young lady provided it, I handed my card and she brought it back with a pen and thanked us for coming in. I went to sign the check and add a tip and noticed it said on the tip line additional tip? So I'm now looking at the total and she comes back over and states the machine automatically adds 20% and she could remove it if it was a problem. At that point we just wanted to leave and find something to eat elsewhere. $43 dollars spent and left 80% of it on the plates when we left. Needs serious changes or it'll another place that's gone i feel"
"Love having a place like this in Newark. I've been here twice now and the coffee and mixed drinks are fantastic. The service has gotten better since the last time I was here. However, I had the Stone ground cheddar grits with pork belly and couldn't finish it because of the 1/2 cup of grease sitting in it. If it wasn't for that it would have been great, the grits were fantastic until I got a few bites in. I'll give it another try just because there aren't a lot of places like this around and I really want it to succeed."
