This was our first visit here. For the first time in a long time, my husband's steak (ordered medium rare) actually came out the way he ordered it! All the food was amazing, and the restaurant had an amazing coffee smell as soon as you walked in. The portions are generous in size but not too big. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. This little country cafe is hip and has a very inclusive menu with vegan and gluten-free options and though it is hidden, it is well worth the visit!
It was Sunday at 9am a single party of four waiting outside. You need to use download the Yelp app to be placed on a wait list. I guess the people who don't have smart phones cant wait to be seated. (I'm clearly not one of them but they do exist). There was a 30 minute wait. Not horrible but unexpected when there was only a party of four waiting. As I sat there I figured out why as I saw people pulling in to the parking lot and going in to be sat. Being able to join the waiting list while you're on your way is a cool benefit to using an application like Yelp.
The restaurant looks great. They massively updated and remolded the building from the previous restaurant. The seats that aren't booths are hard metal, not comfy.
As is normal when I try a new place I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, Over Easy Eggs, Country Potatoes with a request to have them crispy, and Sour Dough toast. The coffee is on the bitter end but my wife would love it. They had French Vanilla, Hazelnut and Non-Dairy Creamer but no dairy option. The waitress brought me over a ramekin of milk. A good variety of sweeteners.
Food came out and it looked fine. The eggs were spot on over easy. The sour dough tasted like warmed white bread and was hardly even toasted. The potatoes seemed like they were fresh out of a roasting pan, mushy, barely warm and absolutely no effort placed to make them crispy. The chicken friend steak was pretty. It didn't taste bad and had enough gravy on it. The gravy was fine.
When you order the most expensive thing on the menu that "Sells out every weekend" you expect more than fine and warmer drawer potatoes. They cooked the eggs perfect though which a lot of places cant seem to do.
Decided to stop by Toasted Rooster Cafe for a late lunch. We were sat immediately.
We ordered:
-rustic flight $26, what the donkey, mango rooster, pear, decent mimosas
-veggie omelet $15, made well
-steak and egg combo $19, steak was below avg
Eggs, toast, and hash browns were all good.
Staff was friendly as well. They have TVs playing sports too and great music selection.
Parking available on premises.
