Just had a GREAT brunch there! I wish they were open every morning. We came with our pup and as soon as we were seated a staff member brought her a large bowl of water. Kudos for getting priorities straight! DH had steak and eggs (excellent, everything cooked perfectly to order) and I had the chicken in waffle cone. Unique presentation and some of the best succulent tasty fried chicken ever! Huge portion!!! We will definitely be back!

We went on a friday evening, where it wasnt that busy and it took some time to get the attention of the server when we wanted to make an order. I gave it a 3/5 because the presentation of the food was really great and the empanadas and coctails were the best things we ordered. The lobster mac and cheese potato skins was undercooked. The short rib fried rice lacked and chicken in the chicken and waffles lacked seasoning. It was very dependent on the sauce. I would only go back for the coctails to be honest.

Had brunch here and it was great. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. This restaurant has some creative and flavorful dishes in comparison to other restaurants in the area. Well done!

I recently made the horrible mistake of ordering the Lobster Mac and Cheese and the Surf and Turf at this so-called restaurant, and let me just say – be careful! The Surf and Turf (supposed to be a lobster and brisket roll) was a cruel joke. It came with a grand total of three measly pieces of lobster tucked away in a leftover brisket roll. Seriously, take a look at that sad piece of brisket – how much lobster could they even squeeze in there? Spoiler alert: hardly any. As for the Mac and Cheese? Barely edible. Bland, disappointing, and certainly not worth the “market price” they conveniently forgot to disclose. Which market are they even referencing? The one where everything is wildly overpriced for substandard garbage? If anyone ever asks me what my biggest food-related rip-off was, this disgusting disaster of a meal wins, hands down. I feel cheated and utterly revolted by this experience. Save yourself – and your stomach – from the trauma and avoid this place at all costs!

This place was amazing even though the weather wasn't. The service was amazing, very friendly and personable. The food was omg, from the Ogunquit fries with honey and black salt, to the smashed burger with lobster mac n cheese on it, and the chicken and waffle cones. I still can taste all of that in my mouth, oh wait I will go snack on my leftovers.

Our waitress was super sweet! The overall vibe of this place was so cool! And the food is absolutely incredible!! We had the smash burger, burrito rice bowl, and the Nashville Hot Tenders (best tenders I have ever had)! We will, without a doubt, be back next time we come down to the beach.

Great playlist, amazing food, & Chloe was an exemplary server. She put up with all the dad jokes my boyfriend inflicted on her & it was delightful.

Great reviews and the rustic patio setting capture our attention of “Food for Thought”. Our experience for dinner was subpar, however . While the patio is very welcoming, the seating is really uncomfortable. The service was fine, but our mains meals were quite bland. I had the Nashville Chicken Sammie (Honey Fried Chicken sandwich); it had a good portion of white meat, but the mix of honey/spice did not work for me. As for My partner’s Ribeye burger, it was okay. The charred bacon jam and aged cheddar did not taste much. This is obviously our appreciation; the crowd around looked happy with their experience . For us, it was underwhelming.

Incredible service and unforgettable food! We were greeted even before we walked into the establishment by two employees welcoming us and our dogs. The staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive to their service. The drink menu was outstanding, serving great seasonal mixed drinks accompanied by the unique beers made by their brewery Odd By Nature. The food menu was outstanding as well. Super fun and unique above all TASTY! Highly recommended!

Food was good: we had ramen (fresh noodles, nice ingredients, nice fried chicken), and Sammy sandwich (fried chicken, fries, pickles, nice bun); okay, fried chicken was excellent. Outside dining only, a little cold in October (and weeks before they close for the season), the heaters were welcome! Tall seats were tough for my (short) wife, and she found it dark.

Went here last weekend for a lunch after a busy afternoon and we really loved it! They only have outside seating so if it's a cold day remember that. Got seated right away and served very quickly. Service was friendly and attentive and the environment of the place is great but definitely more of a warm weather spot. For food we got the lobster roll with fries and the adult happy meal which came with a cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, fries, and a toy! The lobster was overall pretty good but nothing to rave about. The fries that came with it were spectacular though! The burger, nuggets, and fries in the happy meal were very simple and a great replica of a fast food meal but better! It was we got what I was looking for. It also came in this nice little red box. For dessert we got the blueberry and donut sundae. We weren't sure if we wanted dessert but were so glad we did. This was outstanding and the perfect finish to our meal! Overall this place is pretty nice and has some unique and delicious menu options. Though it's overpriced, I believe the food was great overall. Definitely check them out when in town!

We ordered take out here twice during our stay. Unfortunately, I had strep throat during our visit so opted for more takeout than dine in. I think it it's important to note that our first evening dining here would have earned this restaurant 5 stars and the second evening 3; we'll chalk it up to who was cooking or maybe they had an off night. The carnitas nacho fries were so tasty and satisfying the first night that we opted for them again the second evening. The mix of flavors, quality and quantity exceeded our expectation. The second night they were not great, the fries were soggy and the shrimp did not taste fresh. The fried rice was good, but felt bland and far less impressive than the other dishes. The children's Mac and cheese was so good that both of us adults were sharing with our daughter and we even tried to order it again the next night, but they were out. The serving was huge!) We just had to try the donut grilled cheese with tomato bisque (plus, I had strep throat so wanted the soothing effect). We were all really surprised, as this strange and unique combo quickly became our favorite! We ordered a Cesar Salad with shrimp, and again the shrimp was off. It was so fishy that you could smell it and did not taste good so we did not eat it.

Overall pretty good lunch. We got here during the brunch menu but I wanted something from the regular menu so I had to wait a bit until they switched the menus over. While waiting my husband ordered the steak and eggs from the brunch menu and we had some drinks. When the time came I had the donut grilled cheese. It was super weird but I am still glad I had it. The food and service good and the outside seating great on a nice day.

I have been to my share of unique food serving places in my life. I will say this place is definitely up there with "unique" and a flavor of "lost in the woods". I had the opportunity to observe some fantastic guests coming and going while we were here. The clientele was definitely a big part of the entertainment factor. My favorite was the (obviously) entitled woman, her husband, and three children who decided that the handicapped spot was calling her name, instead of someone who may actually need it. They proceeded to have a verbal disagreement in their vehicle where he (appeared) to be telling her not to park there. I assume she's the type who chooses to board first on a Southwest Flight because "I don't have to tell you about my disability HIPPA!" This is the same woman who was asking about gluten free Brussels Sprouts and that "well they used to have them". After that interesting eavesdropping session, I see her eating a lobstah roll. "If the shoe fits", as they say. Anyway. The food was good, reasonable priced (for Maine). The service was okay. They don't have any N/A beers, which is whatever, despite the fact it's becoming more popular. It's not a knock on them, just is what it is. Their kitchen seems to be a mishmash of random things from around town. We ordered "Nashville Hot Tendies". They were well fried, not dry. Definitely not "hot" by any means (spice wise). I didn't expect Indian-restaurant-Level-10-Curry over here, but when given the choice of "Mild" , "Medium", and "Hot", this was less of a mild, and certainly nowhere near a hot. But that's okay because they were still good! Closest I've seen to KFC! The bread they used to soak up the oil was definitely ready to hit my stomach and lube the lines for the evening/morning diarizzy. The donut grilled cheese sure is unique, and there are enough photos of it around. It's weird, but worth the try. Lastly, Flo's Pizza. The waitress/server/service person whatever they choose to be titled these days, took about 10 minutes to describe this thing to me. "It's uh, kind of like, there's a place in town called Flo's, have you been to Flo's? They make hot dogs. Uhm, have you had our pizza before? It's kind of like that, but it has Alfredo sauce and celery". I'm not sure if it's a generational thing, but it seems like anyone under 30 years old, and working in the underpaid customer service industry lacks any sort of social skills, or an understanding in brevity (see: entire review of my rambling). Either way. The pizza had some really really good flavor. I couldn't tell if it was undercooked crust, or nearly transparent due to all of the grease. It was like a BBQ chicken pizza with good hotdog on it. I enjoy! Decent place. Pretty damn good food. I am into the occasional super grease, so I can't complain. After waiting about 15 minutes to have a spoon brought over for the soup (she completely did not acknowledge or seem to understand why a spoon was requested) I ended up getting one from a confused bartender.

Sad! Seating was all high top and was not comfortable. Did have some shade with umbrellas. The bartender was very nice and helpful but server did not provide friendly or helpful service. Left a lot to be desired. The bathrooms not super clean or private. The menu was overall well organized but the food was just eh and over priced! The crinkle cut fries were not homemade but rather freezer thaw with some spice added. The lobster corn chowder was a highlight. The chicken sammy the bread to meat ratio was off. The cucumbers on it were well pickled. The Brussel sprouts were lack luster. The fried rice with lobster was also fell flat and did not have flavor. Overall, will not be back - I left with a bad taste in my mouth from the service and ambiance!

Stumbled upon this fun local joint and meet Mike the Manager who was delightful. I don't like IPAs so he recommended their own brew Sun Sucks, a delicious light lager. My wife ordered me their Cluck n Shuck roll and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. Expertly executed especially the fried chicken. Lobster and chicken in every bite and not overly seasoned. My wife ordered their blueberry salad and that too was delicious and creative; Maine blueberries with charred romaine and grilled shrimp. Delicious food and beer. Great conversation. Fun playlist. Awesome find. Highly recommended.

It was a Saturday morning. It looks like a popular local brunch spot. We were lucky to be able to get a table. They shared a parking lot with the hotel right next door which could be convenient. They ran out of coffee that morning which came a little surprising. Food quality was good. Would definitely recommend.

Evan was the man. His table side manner and service were genuinely friendly and great. He gave us suggestions on some good beers for my wife and I, and the family loved the overall atmosphere. Food was the best we've had up in Maine. It was different and just great overall. We must have passed this place for years and missed out on this little gem.

This place is a fun, delicious, interesting place to find. Upon pulling into the (full) parking lot, the owner was standing watch and helping customers park in unique spots so we could get in. The seating area of the restaurant is entirely outside wrapped around an outdoor bar with canopies/tents protecting you from the elements. It was a crazy busy Sunday after towards the end of the summer and we were fortunate enough to get seats at the bar. I ordered the lobster rangoons and french fries. My husband ordered the brunch smash burger. The food was exactly as you would expect for a gastropub. We didn't try any of the really fun items but saw lots of things such as mixed drinks served in Capri Sun containers, donuts dripping with cheese, etc. definitely unique. The owner also operates a small brewery (Odd by Nature Brewing) and we enjoyed a few different cans we brought home with us. They takeover quite a bit of the taps with their beer.

We ate lunch here today and had an awesome experience. This restaurant has been on my radar for a while, but we haven't made it work until today. What a meal we had... My wife and I had some cocktails which were both amazing. She had a Peaches, Peaches, Peaches and I had a Strawberry Mai Tai. They were both delicious concoctions. We ordered the Lobster Corn Chowder to share and we all enjoyed the soup. The bread bowl was great. I had the Notorious BLT, my wife had the All American Burger, and my daughter had the Congdon's Donut Grilled Cheese. My other two kids ordered the Kids Tendies and the Smash Burger off the kids menu. My BLT was great and had a ton of delicious bacon on it. The tomato soup that came with my daughter's grilled cheese was the best I have ever had. It was amazing!! All of our meals were great! Our server was wonderful! Very nice guy (I apologize for not remembering his name). My only regret is not checking out this restaurant before. My family and I look forward to our next visit.

I came here with my sister and 80 year old mother. It is outside seating only but they have heaters! Loved the atmosphere and setting, and the 70s classic rock they had playing! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, We all had the lobster bisque which was delicious. They were out of bread bowls so they served it with generous portions of Texas toast, perfect for dipping. My sister and I also got the pumpkin latte (alcoholic) drinks, perfect for a beautiful fall day. Very tasty. Enjoyed everything - the vibe, service and food were all great! They are closing in a week or so but can't wait to return next season!

We came here our first night in Wells. It is all outdoor seating with no fans, so it got uncomfortably hot while trying to eat. We ordered drinks, the cocktail came about half full but still tasted good. Our waiter Nick was quick and came back frequently to check in and see if we had everything we needed. The food was very expensive and not worth its price. Glad we tried it but probably would not go back.

We were welcomed with a smile on our way home to New Hampshire from Maine. Lots of tourists and locals dining for brunch on Sunday menu options were interesting, inventive, and quite large for the price. The bar seemed like a cool place to hang out, but it was too early for us. This place is dog friendly, which makes it A-OK with us... We will be back!

I seriously wish there was a place like this where I live. Simple menu (a dozen delicious options including vegan), and ABSOLUTELY mouth watering food, friendly bar staff, and one hell of a good bloody mary. Ambiance: super casual Food: hearty, packed with flavor, mind blowing brisket and eggs.... Just sayin' Cleanliness: very clean Service: excellent

Decided to try this place based off the unique dishes offered! Not a huge fan of the outdoor space with the ground being rocks; very hard to get in and out of the chairs! I got the cast iron fried rice with grilled chicken. I enjoyed my dish and ate it all. My husband got the Nashville chicken ramen. Aside from the absurd amount of garlic in it, the dish was okay. The garlic overpowered the whole dish. The kids chicken tenders and fries was great, the chicken was very moist with a delicious crispy breading. Not that it's their fault but the amount of flies surrounding our table was obnoxious, we were swatting flies the entire time we were eating. Nothing bad to say about the service, waitress and staff were attentive. Not sure if we would go back because it of we very pricey but I'm glad we tried it!

Great little stop on the way up the coast!!! Ask for Alison for amazing service. I hope to stop back again.

The smash burger was very big and really good. The fries were great. The chicken and waffle cones were very good. My husband loved the lobster soup he got. It's outdoors and the sun was shining, so I will say it was very hot for eating hot foods! The waitress was very nice and all staff very friendly.

These 3 dishes were our dinner: (1) Big donuts with grilled cheese slowly dripping on a half-cup of ok tomato soup - an IG moment but that's about it for this dish! (2) Blueberry salad is no good in spite of it being in Maine where blueberries rule! The salad has wilted lettuce, blueberries, bacon bits & cheese - nothing else! (3) Chicken & waffles were just meh! Waffles were not freshly made real waffles but were just ice cream waffle cones instead!!!! The bill was almost $100 for these dishes! Service was nice, but not enough to make up for the below average food. No need for me to ever come back. Patio seatings were not comfy! Very high tables & chairs on gravelly uneven surface!!!!​ Because our server was kind, this place gets 2 stars instead of 1!

Kim A.

Yelp
We stopped in today based off the menu online. It looked incredible. It did not disappoint! Beers were great! Maddie our server was very knowledgeable about all beers and food. She was wonderful. We tried the special today- Flo's hot dog pizza! We were a little nervous but let me tell you, when it came out and we tried it, wow! I grew up in wells and it tastes just like their famous dog and relish! You do not want to miss out!

Sharin K.

Yelp
Most disgusting smash burger ever. Service was fabulous, however the server informed me of that the ribeye steak burger was out so they asked if two smash burgers would suffice. Most awful smash burgers ever. It seemed like they took two thick frozen freezer patties with layers of american with freezer fries and topped it with an obscene amount of sauce. It was 19 dollars for each for a high school chef never been in the kitchen ah burger. Go someplace else.

Krista R.

Yelp
This place nails it. Fast, friendly service. Interesting bites, great beer and cocktails. Prices are great especially considering you're on the coast. We had the Nashville chicken tenders with Cajun spiced fries. The chicken was unbelievably tender and juicy with a crisp and spicy exterior.

Patrick B.

Yelp
My favorite restaurant. Everything is delicious and unique. Also very Gluten Free friendly. The chicken and waffles are delicious as well as the honey dipped fries and lobster Rangoon's. The best part about it is the vibe. It's outside seating only but creates a really cool backyard type feel. Reggae music plays from the radio. The waiters are super nice and attentive. Can't wait to go back next summer.

Greg H.

Yelp
Why does this place have 4.5 stars? Seriously, not good! The food was way overpriced and not good. The $19 McRib has no flavor and was a ground mystery meat. The seating is on a busy road, outside, on gravel, and the tables aren't big enough to sit under. The bathroom was very dirty, the sink was gray with longterm dirt. Much of the menu is marked "market". Be sure to ask because a lobster roll was $34 which is more than we paid at a nice restaurant in Camden on the water with a beautiful view for a 1.25lbs lobster with sides, etc.

Jessica L.

Food was excellent! Unique and delicious. Staff was friendly! The soup and grilled cheese donut was unlike anything I've ever had!

Charles B.

Yelp
I don't review often, but this place for the price needs a solid warning. We dropped $200 on lunch for a small group and left fairly disappointed. To start with the good - decent fried chicken and service was attentive. The BAD - surf and turf lobster roll at $50 was dog shit! The donut grilled cheese and soup was not great - shame on us for ordering. And the lobster Rangoon was whatever. Lots of options out there so I'd leave this place off the list.

Food is perfectly seasoned. Donut grilled cheese.. bomb. Decor is phenomenal... and OUTSIDE! I love that part most

Oh man! Literally drove 30 minutes to get here for lunch or brunch or whatever and got there at 12:25. First off the parking lot is really tricky, there was a car parked right in the entrance which really is a recipe for disaster off a busy road. I actually asked the hostess if that was a parking spot because we pulled in and it literally blocks you. She actually said it was the owners... makes sense. Also, they close the kitchen from 12-1 (???????) to transition to lunch. Literally hilarious ! To close during lunch time? We laughed to ourselves and left! Big waste of our time coming here!

Bill S.

Yelp
I'm still thinking about that John Daly cocktail! Food for thought is a pop up bar for tourists (like me) It was a little chaotic at first, the parking lot is slammed! There are people hemming and hawing about the wait in front of us. Lead, follow or get out of my way! We put our name on the list and stood on the side waiting to be called. Peeking inside, I see a few tables along with a nice size bar serving comfort foods. Hey, that sounds like a thoughtful party to me! The hostess allowed us to use the waiting area inside the space. John Daly cocktails all around! Once we had our table, we ordered some comfort food. Lobster egg rolls sound good in theory but they were very light on the lobster. What was interesting was the chicken & waffles. This dish was a large entree, lots of crispy fried chicken all wrapped in a waffle cone. So a state where lobsters are plentiful, the restaurant skimps on a dish with lobster but makes up for it with a chicken overload? Crazy man. If you don't mind the wait, Food for Thought is a nice place for cocktails and bar food.

Graham P.

Cool space outside but shaded, good bar drinks and really well done pub style food with interesting twists. Definitely not light food, but if you want a good fried chicken sandwich this is the spot

Solid 4 star experience here recently. Some interesting and creative dishes here that you won't find anywhere else. Our waitress was fantastic. Only outdoor seating. Would return if/when in the area.

Very good lobster roll and service was good but I ordered the blueberry pie to take home and it was awful. Dry and no flavor. It was not worth the $10 charge.

Impossible Burger has returned to the menu, easy to modify to get vegan. Thank you! The fries were great as well.

Food For Thought was a backup option after my work colleagues and I couldn't get anywhere near the lobster place we were trying to get to, and while it looked great from the outside, it wasn't really that amazing. The parking lot navigation was a bit of a challenge starting off, with tiny spaces and not many of them. When we managed to get seated, our table was kind of awkwardly shoved up against one of the exterior walls of the outside dining area with no shade or cover whatsoever. It took about 20 minutes for someone to come and greet us, which was clearly an issue with the host staff not being in communication with the wait staff. However, even when we were acknowledged, table visits were few and far between, and all three of us ran completely dry on drinks more than once. The food is this place's saving grace, with plenty of creative menu options that look awesome with a taste to match. I very much enjoyed my fried chicken cone, and while I don't have too many to compare it to, it was excellent in its own right. Prices were elevated, no surprises there for a meal during tourist season. We waited as long for the check as we had to be greeted, so this single meal really took up a good chunk of the day. Despite the great food, I would probably not return here with the unfortunate seating arrangements and the disappearing wait staff. They will never run out of customers since there are always tourists around during the busy season, but I'm hoping you'll be smart enough not to be one of them. Overall: 2.0 stars ---- Pros: - Excellent food and a creative menu. - The place looks quite nice from the outside... Cons: - But sitting in the blazing sun with no shelter is no fun. - Having to wait long periods to be greeted, served, and billed makes the above even less fun. - They definitely need a bigger parking lot, space is at such a premium in this area and it really shows.

More like food after thought. Crappy food. Service decent. $30 Adult happy meal was disgusting. Bun was hard. Burger was dry and horrible. Came with just cheese and nothing else. Fries were cold and soggy. When asked how they could fix it they only offered ranch. Greasy box that looks like it was reused. McDonald's branding. Don't go here. Food was disgusting. Nothing like the reviews. Maybe they are going down hill or maybe it was an off night. When asked how to fix it they didn't come through. Didn't offer to take it off the bill. Overall gross experience. Wouldn't recommend. Oh. The adult happy meal toy wasn't adult at all. It was a plastic car with a $1.25 sticker still on the label. Would give it zero stars if that was an option.

My wife and I stopped here on a recent trip to the New England area to celebrate her 40th birthday. The place was cute - all outdoor seating with a large outdoor bar as the centerpiece. All the tables were situated in a fenced off patio, which provided some isolation from the traffic passing by on the main road just outside. We were seated on some tall bar chairs that weren't quite the right height for the table they were paired with. Since the chairs were planted on the gravel patio, it never really felt like I could get a comfortable, level seating surface. That said, the service and the food made up for the slight discomfort. We had the donut grilled cheese, which to our surprise, was exactly what it sounded like. It was unusual, but the mix of sweet and savory was actually quite pleasant. The donuts were a bit on the sweet side, which threw the balance off for my taste - but the bisque was a brilliant balance of acid, salt and sweet that paired nicely with the dish - especially after the molten cheese dripped into the tomato-y moat below added a delightful chew to the bisque. The brisket poutine was smoky and tender. The cheese was gooey and stringy and the fries were slightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Overall, very good food and a creative approach.

Yelp
Service was prompt and friendly. $39 for a lobster roll is ridiculous when they are $26 in Bar Harbor. I got the smash burger instead. I had to search for the carmelized onions which were smashed into the bottom bun and were barely there. I don't consider this a smash burger as the patties were still too thick. This is basically a double cheeseburger. My husband got the chicken and waffle cone which is just a dumb concept. All seating is outside and there's plenty of shadeunless you're at the bar. The tables are all high tops which makes it difficult to pull your chair close to the table on a gravel surface. I'm not sure how this place got so many great reviews tbh. The food is mediocre at best

Kathy E.

Yelp
Service was nice, and the outdoor seating is on gravel. Not a problem for us but we saw some older folks having some trouble. The food was very expensive and not great. To be fair it was their first week opening for the summer. Might be good for drinks but not food.

First time in this restaurant. Outdoor seating only. The waitstaff was helpful. Ordered a Dragon fruit Cosmo, came in a 4 ounce glass like a small orange juice glass. It was just OK but $14. As an appetizer we ordered the Nashville hot tenders. We asked for them to be medium in heat with hot sauce on the side. They was no medium sauce on them and only hot oil on the side. It was the consistency of-vegetable oil with some chili in it? It was tasteless greasy and not spicy. It was also served with crinkle cut fries. $18. Not sure why an appetizer comes with french fries. They were large and crispy, but would've enjoyed them more if they had some kind of flavor. It was served with our dinner. We ordered it as an appetizer and all three dishes came at the same time. My husband ordered the Cast-iron fried rice . asked the waiter what would be best to put on it, he said the short ribs which added another $14 to a $17 dish. As per his suggestion, that's what he ordered. As it was explained, we thought it was coming in a cast-iron skillet. It did not. It was a dish of white rice with some Vegetables and avocado that was rock hard you could not eat. and the short rib was really dry. There was also some egg and spicy mayo not worth over $30. We could not believe that this serving was $30. I ordered the all-American burger which was cooked perfect. It was tasty but nothing special. the Cajun fries were the same crinkle fries that came with the appetizer with some Cajun seasoning on them. my husband had a water with his dinner and before tip this meal was over $90. I would never spend $100 in a place like this. It was worth a try but I say beware read the menu before you go and know what you're getting. For some reason, there was no beer on tap that night only cans . We like to keep trying new places in Wells, Ogunquit and York and this is one we won't go back to. Overpriced and the food is just so so. we also asked how much the scallops were which was market price and it was over $30 Saw one of the dishes going by it would never have been worth $30. One and Done!

Stopped in on my way back from Ogunquit Center. I was acknowledged as soon as I showed up at the door and sat immediately. Everyone working here seemed to have a good rapport with each other and it showed in their service. Incredibly friendly and inviting. I ordered the Italian Salad and asked to have chicken added but couldn't resist the fries. They serve food in take out containers and I feel like I wasn't able to really make a dent in mine but the food was incredible and the fries had a nice sweet and salty going on. The bartender suggested hot sauce and that did the trick. It's only my second night here and I already know I'll be back to try something else. The menu is small but I assume everything is as delicious as my order tonight and I will definitely be back. I can't end this review without mentioning that Jay (not sure if he is a manager or owner or both) was non stop in his support of the team. He was friendly and led by example. He cleaned, sat people, filled supplies, swept, basically if it needed to be done, he was doing it with a smile on us face. What a great business!

The donut grilled cheese was absolutely revolting, tbh. But there weren't many other vegetarian options. My friend enjoyed the burger though.

Great food, but be ready to eat! Very large and filling portions. Quite expensive. This and a drink was $105, but it was a lot of food. Flavorful. Great seating, windows looking out to main st. & have canopies/umbrellas to shade from the sun.

Great beer selection. bissell and several others. Son had burger, i had Nashville chicken sandwich. Served with spicy mayo. Chicken sandwich was excellent. I've been to Nashville and this was close. We sat outside on a very sunny, hot day. Our table was not shaded. Bring some sunscreen if you don't get a shaded table. Bar area looks pretty nice.

Lovely ambience, great service. Food wasn't bad. Best thing though, we could bring our dog. The Street corn omelette was alright. Probably wouldn't order it again. The chicken and waffles were unique and served in a waffle cone, which looked interesting but was a tad too sweet and needed more salt. French Toast with mascarpone wasn't bad.
