The atmosphere was excellent, you can tell this is a favorite of the locals, and as someone who is not a local I did not get the “outsider” vibe that so often appears in smaller towns. The service was pretty good, the server was friendly and as attentive as they were able to be during a high customer volume time (lunch rush). They avoided the old “how is everything?” when you have a mouthful of food, which I was very grateful and got them some extra brownie points (and a larger tip). The food was hot and I didn’t feel like I waited too long before it was brought out. The burger was a pretty good size and did not have too much of anything. The burger patty was slightly larger than the bun and still thick and juicy, but not like a grease burger where you need to use 500 napkins before you’re done eating. The bacon on the burger was a let-down! It was slightly over-cooked, and a couple of bits on the ends were so crunchy I thought I was chewing on a filling (I was not actually chewing on a filling). However, they did put, what I thought, to be a generous portion of bacon on the burger! The sweet potato waffle fries were very good. They look a bit dark in the picture, but I assure you they were not over-cooked. The coffee was hot and fresh, not too strong and no burnt flavor. Parking: Plenty of street parking near the lounge side between peek hours, during peek hours you may have a park a bit farther, but not by much and strolling through this part of the town is enjoyable.
