This place is full of decorations everywhere, lots of conversation starters, which I love! Try the waffles, they have a great variation which is DELICIOUS. Nice staff and quick service. I haven't been here since COVID though so I'm not sure how they are doing during the pandemic.

We have been there several times! Absolutely 5 star service and food!!

This place is a legit hidden gem. Eclectic feel with delicious food... Can't really ask for more than that.

My husband and I stopped by for brunch. We were immediately seated, the waitress was very quick and personable, and the food was cooked perfectly and delicious. I had the tin roof waffle and my husband had the burger with bacon and eggs; both of us really enjoyed our meals. Highly recommend this little gem.

We had high expectations for what we considered expensive burgers but they did not disappoint! We had the "Cluck Oink Moo" burger and the "Funguy" burger and both were humongous, juicy and flavorful. The beef flavor is more like a well seasoned steak than traditional ground beef. The handcut fries reminded me of ones my Mom used to make- perfectly crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. The coffee was delicious. It is processed in Orange, VA and they sell it by the bag- very smooth, medium blend. Our server was efficient and friendly. Both she and the chef came out to ask how everything was. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu. The funky vibe and laid back music made us wish we had more time to sit and just enjoy the place.

Disclaimer: I have not had anything but the cheese board, and no cocktails were available in this initial visit--will update when I taste both.Atmosphere was funky, fun colors, and while the music was good, it was admittedly a little loud. Server was prompt, very helpful, and quite nice.But onto the food: the cheese board was huge! Beautifully laid out and very yummy. Though it was rather expensive, with cheese, nuts, and fresh food at this caliber, it was more than worth it.However, the best part was definitely the small dessert with the check. A succulent and fresh bite of white chocolate. On top of that, the chocolate was filled with mango, served with a thick berry sauce, and topped with a pleasantly floral sprinkling of bee pollen.It was AMAZING.I could have devoured a whole sampler of these chocolates. You could taste every flavor, a great final touch to the meal.We will definitely be visiting again to try some entrees, and hopefully some tasty drinks!

Dinner on Friday was fantastic and Brunch Saturday also did not disappoint. This is the culinary landmark that I have not been able to find in Fredericksburg since moving here.

We went for restaurant week. There were 2 tables other than us. There was one waitress. We ordered our food (a berry waffle and the chicken and waffle as they were only offering waffles and no sides). After about 20 minutes we needed more coffee- the waitress now had a nearly full restaurant and was running ragged- we felt bad for her. She made more coffee and gave it to everyone else and ran out (understandable) so she said she’d make more... we never got it. Our waffles arrived 40 minutes after ordering. They weren’t cooked all the way- as in, so doughy we couldn’t cut them. We had somewhere to be and had already waited for that long it wasn’t worth sending them back for new ones. Apparently other tables had the same issue- sending back mostly uneaten waffles. The waitress explained that the manager and head chef had gone to the store for more ingredients and that’s why it was so slow.40 minutes to make 2 waffles? If that’s ALL you’re serving wouldn’t you make the batter in advance (maybe an hour prior to opening)?WHY wouldn’t you get your ingredients BEFORE opening to prevent this from happening?The pros: the atmosphere and decor is amazing and the waitress was super sweet and doing her best.

Worst restaurant experience ever, went to lunch last Sunday. We sat down and received menus and a glass of water, my water had lipstick marks on the glass at the top. The limited brunch menu had hamburgers, waffles and eggs and a few sandwiches. Hamburgers were $20. When the waitress came to take our order , I asked for a hamburger that’s when the waitress told me they were out of hamburgers for the day. So I proceeded to order a turkey sandwich and my wife ordered the BLT. We then heard the waitress tell another table that they were out of eggs as well so her order had to be changed. When our sandwiches arrived, instead of having a toothpick stuck in the sandwiches to hold it together they used a 12 inch skewer, Weird. It came with homemade ketchup was not very good in my opinion. My wife asked for mayonnaise because there was nothing on the BLT and we informed they did not carry any mayonnaise and the only thing they had was a Cranberry aioli, very strange on a BLT. It seems to be that this restaurant did not carry enough supplies to make it through the day. Doesn’t seem like a good way to run a business, they were also turning away customers at 1:30 pm because they didn’t have enough food. The chef came out and asked my wife if she enjoyed the aioli, she said told him it was OK. He said that you don’t have to pay for the meal because “ I don’t sell okay food”. We tried to insist that we wanted pay and he proceeded to open the door for us to leave. My wife said “I guess were being kicked out” and we got up and left the restaurant. He proceeded to follow us to our car ,He was yelling at us that we shouldn’t be so rude to him. He yelled you need to find Jesus!WTF. This so-called chef should learn how to deal with criticism, you are not going to make it in this business if you can’t take the feedback you asked for without getting offended and rude from your customers. Good luck to you, wish you the best you’re going to need it.
Very impressive! The food was amazing! Farm to table and you can really tell! We'll be back! We loved the music too!!

We had 45 people and was there for the pasta portion of our progressive dinner. It was very crowded, this is a very small place. It has a small bar area and is decorated with records and music items. They were very prepared for us and had the food out when we arrived. We took a look at the menu and it is a bit pricey, but we enjoyed our pasta and thought everyone was rushed and pleasant ( they did have a lot of people and a short time between large groups).

This snug little restaurant was quite the find for my fiancée and I. We sometimes have an issue with finding a place because she's vegetarian, and I am not, but this place catered to us perfectly. The quality of the food reminds me of Foode, when they first opened, and quality was what came first. And eclectic atmosphere paired with aromatic coffee, and delicious brunch means we'll be coming back for more.

After 2 failed attempts to eat here, we finally made it in the door on the 3rd try (First time, their credit card system was down so they had to close. Second time, restaurant was closed when we got there despite website saying it was open for lunch). We mentioned to the waitress that we'd tried to eat there a few times already including the day before but they were closed. I was expecting her to say they weren't open for weekday lunch yet and there must be an error on the webpage. Instead, she gave a big laugh and said they'd had to close to run some errands. Ok.. I think if you're a new restaurant (or any restaurant) it shouldn't be funny that your customers are having trouble actually eating at your establishment. Of course, this wasn't a great first (or third) impression. Then we looked at the menu. $15-$20 for a burger?? The $15 one was just a basic cheeseburger. Husband likes an egg on his, so he reluctantly ordered the $20 one. (Easily the most expensive version of this burger downtown). Both our burgers were fine. But that's about it. A $20 burger shouldn't be just "fine". I can get "fine" elsewhere for much less Many have raved about the decor. I agree someone made a big effort to give the place a certain atmosphere. They might want to spend the same amount of effort on their customers / food / menu.

We were there for dinner during restaurant week. This is a cute, quirky place with a uniquely creative menu. We started with coconut shrimp on a bed of spring greens strewn with shredded coconut and a salad with a sweet and tart fruit dressing that had a bit of crunch. The salmon dinner was delicious as was the pasta entree selection. The chef combines unlikely ingredients to create deliciously original flavors. The decor is 60’s vintage flea market. We hope to go back for brunch.
