Great service and a wonderfully quiet space. We ate with a party of 6. My duck was over but the remaining meals were... spectacular. Read more
One of our favorite local dinner spots. The constantly changing menu is something my wife appreciates, but their burgers are so... good I find it hard to go with anything else. Read more
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!! Read more
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 andemotions. Saw the waitress plate two desserts, one of them being ours, with her bare hands instead of a kitchen utensil. We werenot checked in on and had to flag someone down if we wanted to order something or request a refill. When we did request a refillthe 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 asthe first time which was disappointing. Had the first experience not been so good I likely would?ve given this 3 stars. Read more
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 ofhappiness. We also got a special, spinach and artichoke chutney, which was topped with walnut gorgonzola cream. Amazing. I'mseriously 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 firstbite. 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 willneed them if you ordered sandwiches.

Lukewarm greeting of "Do you have a reservation?" No hello, no welcome, no smile. Nothing. Asked if I had made it under a... different name?????? ,No, typically use my name and we had called only an hour earlier. Was I sure I hadn't made it under Emily?Just wasn't a good start. Service was lackluster, almost to the point of dismissive after we ordered sandwiches and no mains.No drink refill, no checking back. Food was pretty, but lacked seasoning. Onion rings were very good. Bathroom was filthy, notsomething new,but long term lack of a general clean. Certainly nothing like Lincoln Cafe. Read more
