Super accommodating workers, she went out of her way to insure I had a good experience. The breakfast casserole was amazing. Clean clean place, very well run, she's doing it right! Out of towner but it's exactly what I was looking for to start the morning

Our family had lunch here today for the first time and could not have had a better experience. We had the jalapeno panini which was great! A panini with ham and gouda that was just as good. One of our kids got the chili and the other the club, both enjoyed it. To top it off they have a kids cold plate with grapes, meat of choice, chips and dip and cheese. It was perfect for our toddlers! Friendly staff, pretty quick wait times, great prices. This will be our new lunch place and are excited to support local! We can't wait to try their breakfast.

Not fancy but very very good! I've tried different homemade casseroles and a homemade cinnamon roll for breakfast. Paninis at lunch are fantastic. I've never been disappointed here. And the staff is great, too! Please don't tell Kevin I said that! ;)

We had a smoked pulled pork sandwich w/cole slaw, potato soup and Bistro salad . All were very good. It's great to see a small bistro with good food in this community. The Bistro is very welcoming as you enter, making you feel right at home. It is also very busy showing that others appreciate the food selections and atmosphere. We'll be back.
