Updated below:::Buttermilk fried chicken with butter lima beans, cheddar grits and a piece of cornbread. Yes, it’s as good as it looks. Update::: As a business traveler I have been fortunate to eat the finest seafood in Boston and invitation only steak houses in Manhattan. This establishment could build a dynasty with their cheddar grits and fried chicken. Wow. The most unusual complaint you will never hear, but they give you too much food. A true 5 star.
They still make excellent food. The Berry salad used very fresh spring mix lettuce, strawberries and blueberries. My wife's had the Reuben sandwich which was well stuffed as usual. Waitress was attentive and pleasant.
This was a great place for brunch on a Sunday. We came here after a four hour drive to the area. Menus items are excellent, the burger was great and so too the avocado toast. Plenty of dessert choices and again very good. Parking is on the street or in parking lots but you should be able to find a space.
My husband, baby and mother-in-law stopped in for lunch yesterday and it was an amazing experience! We sat outside and had a great server! We got the shrimp tacos, double cheeseburger and the Ruben and no one had any complaints!! We will definitely be back to try more items off the menu!
A local favorite and outstanding cafe located in a space that once was a pharmacy long ago. Service could not be better. Friendly people and delicious food. Enormous selection of drinks of all kinds displayed on the old shelves.
Great gem in the Winchester Downtown. We love the sides option, pick 3 sides from a nice list of options and make your own great meal. We always have wonderful service, in particular Jamie is always friendly, fast and always checking back.
Lovely evening to enjoy a meal outside. unfortunately shortly after being seated a loud'preacher' type guy appeared in the street preaching the entire we were there.!! Realized this was freedom of speech and not authorized by restaurant. We stayed and enjoyed an excellent meal. Other patrons came and left after hearing the preacher. We're from CT. So having hush puppies is a big deal! Soup & quiche & salad outstanding. My spouse had meatloaf dinner a loved every bit.
The breakfast was delicious! Eggs, roasted potatoes (highly recommend, they stole the show!), bacon, sausage (I suspect was homemade and delicious!), and brioche toast (that I again suspect was homemade). Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing! The roasted potatoes were crispy and hot and paired well with their homemade sauces! And the brioche toast....light, airy, and crispy. 10/10 don't miss!
