Best veggie burger in Iowa. Seriously. It's house made and cooked to be just slightly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. I had it in the "burger of the month" style, topped with fig and pear chutney and goat cheese, and I just about died of happiness. We also got a special, spinach and artichoke chutney, which was topped with walnut gorgonzola cream. Amazing. I'm seriously considering coming back tomorrow to have the same burger again for lunch!
A great Mom and Pop Cafe nestled in the heart of downtown Mt. Vernon. Jim got the Hand rolled tenderloin and I ordered the build a burger with bacon and cheese. The tomato was fresh and cut to a good size. The burger hit my nose when I took my first bite. Both of us had a side order of fries. We did the curbside pick up. Portions are good size. Fries appeared to be hand cut. Cozy setting inside. I would recommend checking this place out. If you take out, make sure you ask for napkins though. You will need them if you ordered sandwiches.
First time we went here was on a weekday and it was a great experience. Second time was a weekend and it wasn’t nearly as impressive. This last time they seemed short staffed or overwhelmed or both. It was apparent in their body language and emotions. Saw the waitress plate two desserts, one of them being ours, with her bare hands instead of a kitchen utensil. We were not checked in on and had to flag someone down if we wanted to order something or request a refill. When we did request a refill the reaction as if it was a huge request and created all sorts of extra work… it was off putting. Food wasn’t nearly as good as the first time which was disappointing. Had the first experience not been so good I likely would’ve given this 3 stars.
Excellent onion rings and a fabulous pork tenderloin. Wow!! The onion rings come with a horseradish sauce which was amazing!! OMGosh - hope to come back sometime!!
Great food in a quaint little dining room. My daughter loved looking at the decor while we waited for or food. We got the onion rings appetizer and they were a unicorn. They are the thin shoestring style that everyone makes greasy and soggy, but somehow they managed to make them crispy and yummy so much so that my kids who never eat onion rings both devoured them!
I had the burger of the month. Thick burger cooked perfectly, with blue cheese, onion and bacon marmalade. It was great
We also had the salmon cakes, which where great.
Fantastic gourmet cuisine with attentive staff. It was the best meal I've had in ages! I'd go again in a heartbeat!
