My single visit to Wild Thyme was made early on a Sunday evening. The parking lot is tiny, but the business was slow and I found a parking spot close to the entrance.
The service was slow and my water glass wasn't refilled while were were waiting for the food to come out. My table ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna sandwich and the White Chili with Chicken. I didn't time the wait, but I was almost at my wit's end and got up to fill my own glass. Just before this happened, the food finally got to us.
The ahi in my sandwich wasn't 'sashimi grade' as they described on the menu and it didn't feel like it was quick seared. It was cooked pretty deep into the meat. In my humble opinion sashimi grade fish shouldn't smell fishy, which it did. I took a sample of the award-winning white chili and it was fairly bland. The chili isn't described as spicy, but it should have at least had some sort of flavor.
On our way out, I noticed their desserts on display and wished that I'd ordered some. Unfortunately, I've got only one visit to base my rating on, but service and food should be good every time.
Came here for sunday brunch and I like it! Ordered the eggs benedict with crab cakes (not sure what the name on the menu is... ) but it was hella good!!!
Great american brunch place..
=0)
I used to hate this place. I mean really hate it. The serviced sucked, the food was barely okay, the prices were way to high for what they gave you and the AC was always on too high. I would drop out of brunch plans with girlfriends when I found out that they were eating here. In the past, the only redeeming quality was the pet store across the street that had puppies in the windows.
But something has changed about it. I dont know if it is new management or a new chef, but I think I kinda like the place now.
I was taken there this evening by my roomies for dinner. I logged on to Yelp prior to leaving to see if there was something worth eating on the menu that I had ignored before. I was surprised to see that they had new prix fix meals for lunch and dinner.
We each had a dinner special that was 3- courses. The salads were generous, the soups not so much. The tri-tip was made very well, they even offered a special horseradish BBQ sauce to go with it. The filet of sole was tender and flaky. The crab cakes were HUGE. Desserts came with each meal, the slices of cake were large and the pie was heated and served with ice cream. Each of the specials were either $12 or $15.
I would definitely go back if the quality of the food remains the same. Now if they would only hire some more servers....
I have been to Wild Thyme many, many times in the last 10 years and have never had bad service. They seem to have a knack for hiring friendly and interesting people.
I love the crepes, the white chili and all of the desserts. The only problem I have ever had was finding parking.
We've visited many times and we've been very satisfied with both the service and the quality of the food. It's like a good/non-corporate version of Mimi's, slightly French, but not offensively so. The service is usually superior, although our glasses have remained empty on a few Saturday morning visits. The breakfast menu is great, especially the scramblers. The savory crepes are a must, the crab version actually has too much crab...not a complaint I've ever made before. The turkey and brie sandwich is the greatest sandwich ever created by man, although it put me into a heavy food coma. Split pea soup is a rarity, but every bit as good as Anderson's. Apple and boysenberry cobbler was transcendent. The portions are not huge, but they're normal. A normal person would just about finish a plate. This is not the stop for those looking to load up or outright fatties.
During the summer they had a dinner special for entree and dessert with a glass of wine for $14.50. Their entrees are around $12-15 each. So that was a great deal and I thought this would be a great first time experience. I've passed by this restaurant way too many times, but never had the chance to actually eat here.
My bf and I came here for dinner after a long day driving around. There were only a few tables that were filled. It was not busy at all. Our waiter was helpful in the wine selection. The entree was okay nothing super delicious or memorable. For their regular prices, I don't know why anyone would come here. There are so many other restaurants within a five mile radius that are a lot better. Last note, you're not missing much.
I have to agree with the other reviews. I like the location, interior is pretty decent, our waiter was awesome but the food, meh. We both ordered their dinner specials which comes w salad or soup, an entree and dessert. I had the chicken picatta.. it really just was okay, i'm not a fan of capers at all though but i did like my salad, the seasonal vegetables, and the mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had the fish and chips, they tasted good at first but their batter was slightly nontraditional to me and ive had better. I got the carrot cake but took it home, haven't had it yet so we'll see. I would probably come back again for a second try, maybe for lunch, but otherwise it was nothing special, but I really liked our waiter, super friendly and on it.
I have a friend who works here and suggested to come try it some time. I am a fan of food and will never discriminate taste due to interests.
I tried the Breakfast Burrito which is a fantastic portion with seasoned ham, bacon, eggs, potatoes, salsa, cheese, sour cream avocados and olives which I politely declined. This burrito had a wonderfully savory flavor and I was full after only half of it. The coffee here is a remarkable columbian blend.
Service on the other hand was so so. The hostesses were prompt in finding us a table but seemed very scatter brained turning around in circles...very unprofessional in my opinion, our server did the bare minimum...took our order, brought us our drinks and refilled coffee once. Granted my guest and myself are not high maintenance guests, a little personality would be appreciated.
Food gets an A+, service gets a C
12.7.08: It's more of a 3.5 stars because I wanted to slap the waitress. I understand that sometimes people hate their job but as a server you got a put up a front. And I just don't understand how you can be so rude when no one was being rude to her.
It was for brunch and the menu looked delicious. It was hard to me to decide on what to eat but I finally did order and I would say the eggs benedict was really unexpected. I thought it was better than most brunch places that I have tried. The biggest compliment to the eggs benedict is their potatoes, it was a perfect match.
Parking is a pain here as well. So beware. Did I mention the waitress? Yea her, I swear it was really difficult for her to come take our orders or actually apologize that she forgot our bread, it took her half hour to remember, she is so lucky I forgot her name. One day I should just make a list of horrible servers so I can slap them the next time they make a mistake. Alright that's just my world.
This place I would recommend on eating brunch here again.
Wild Thyme Cafe & Bakery.
Sounds cute, right? The cafe itself was both homey and cutsey, but not so much that it was cloying. And, so I wanted to like the cafe.
But eh, not a big fan. The crab cake I had was not that great (I've had better frozen from TJs that I've pan fried myself in my own kitchen). In addition, it was somehow too sweet -- who has ever heard of a sweet crab cake?
The only reason it gets a 3 star is the pie. We picked up a pie to go -- a steal for $5. That pecan pie was very nice with a cup of coffee the next day.
So, I'm a fan of the pies, not of the cafe food.
I would agree with the previous reviews....about a 2 1/2 star place.
I went for breakfast, and the placed was packed. Ordered the "Local Favorite" which consisted of scrambled eggs & potato skins heavily smothered in Pace Picante salsa and what seemed like 2 pounds of cheddar cheese. Not impressed.....very greasy and rich. Their Coffee was tolerable, as was our service. I'll give it another try soon for lunch or dinner perhaps........
Here we are at lunch and the food is okay. I ordered a $7.95 combo Tri-Tip sandwich with soup and salad. The soup was a vegetable but very salty. The salad was nothing special and the ranch dressing was so lite I couldn't taste it. My tri-tip had melted swiss cheese and roasted peppers in it that gave it a zing taste. My lemonade was almost the taste of water.
My bud ordered a hamburger with melted American cheese and curly fries and a ice tea.
Essentially it was okay. Our server did refill the ice tea when it ran low without being asked so that was good. Otherwise again it was alright.
I've been trying restaurants owned by the Shakers group and saw this on their website so decided to try it. I particularly WANTED to like it because they had crepes on the menu, one of my husband's favorite things. So off I went the other day.
Because I was sort of testing the place out before recommending it to my husband to visit, I ordered a bunch of things. The dinner side salad had a WONDERFUL vinaigrette salad dressing, but that was the best thing I ate.
I tried the chicken and mushroom crepe. For those of you who like gooey moist, you'll love this because it was loaded with melted cheese. Unfortunately, it was a little bland and not flavorful enough for my palate. I ordered a side of their garlic cheese flatbread (sort of a Peta bread with some seasoning on top) for my salad ... and found that to be a little bland ... in fact I took the leftovers home and even my dog wasn't interested. Don't blame him. I then tried their rum banana desert crepe. It was okay, but the rum tasted like flavoring instead of the alcoholic product one drinks. In my desperation to find on the menu something really delicious, I then ordered their mac-and-cheese to go which I figured I'd try the next day. Ho hum ... that was bland, too, even after I added a ton of Romano cheese to it when reheating.
Overall, what a disappointment. They do make the carrot cake which is sold in the few restaurants Shakers owns, and my ho-hum experience at Wild Thyme reminded me that the Shakers carrot cake was the best in the world back in the '70s (heavy, dark with lots of spices and wonderful cream cheese icing), but now it's still pretty good, but not the extraordinary product it once was.
P.S.: If anybody knows of a carrot cake out there that's similar to what I describe above, please let me know.
Some friends and I wanted to go to Gus's BBQ, but Gus was only serving breakfast... WE WANTED BBQ! Or at least lunch-y food. So across the street it was to Wild Thyme, because we were damn hungry after four hours at the Rose Bowl flea market. Ah, I digress....
So we get in, the place is half empty, and we have to WAIT for a table for three. Uh, really? I saw at least three tables prepped and ready to go, so what's the hold up? And I've worked in food service before. I know what a rush is, and this wasn't it.
Ten minutes later.....We sit down, and the m#^&%&&*ing waiter just walks away. This becomes a familiar sight throughout lunch. Our waiter's back. And our requests unheard, because he's rushing off to do the prep he should have done before he started his shift!
OK, the food on this menu sounds good. The prices, however, seemed a little steep for what was basically a slightly fancier IHOP, with pig statues everywhere. We ordered, got the soup/salad/sandwich combo. Things seemed somewhat in hand for the moment.
So we finally get some water, my coffee shows up, and also the dressing for our salads. And that's it. We don't see our waiter for another fifteen minutes, while the salad dressing sits there getting lonely and growing a skin. Finally our food shows up, and:
WTF!? Sorry, for nine bucks on a sandwich/soup/salad combo, I would expect a little more food. This was a puny little sandwich! Casey's salad entree, which cost him around $12, somewhat filled a medium-sized plate. And this was no meat salad. No, no, NO, it was a all veggie-no-avocado-for-extra-dollars salad. And the salads were somewhat plain-tasting, the soup quite salty for chicken noodle, and the sandwiches were, again, small with a big helping of un-flavor.
We ordered some fries, thinking that they would take up the extra space left in our tummies, and by the time we've finished our food, the fries show up. All fifteen of the fries, because, I don't know why, but I guess fries are like gold in the Kingdom of Wild Thyme. We got shorted on the fries. Don't forget that it also took our waiter two trips to get us ketchup and other condiments. While we watched him take laps around the dining area with his head down, pretty much ignoring all his tables, and chatting with another waitress at the cash register.
Needless to say, next time I'm waiting 'til breakfast is done at Gus's, and getting me some RIBS!
If you want better breakfast and don't want IHOP, then drive down the street to their sister restaurant Shakers. Wilde Thyme doesn't have the best service, the best price, or the best portions.
I ordered belgian waffle, bacon, egg, and coffee (I'd appreciate it if they told me it was going to be ONE egg). The boyfriend ordered potatoes, scrambled eggs, portuguese sausages, toast, and orange juice. Everything was mediocre. Nothing had really good flavor. All so bland!
I actually find this place expensive for it's portion. I'm sorry....but I do need to apologize for being one of those skinny bitches that tend to eat a lot. So yeah, the portion here did not do it for me. I even had to leach off of my bf's plate, thus, leaving him not satisfied.
I'm also offended at the size of the orange juice glass. Don't charge so much for orange juice if all it's going to feed is a five year old kid. Not cool!
These guys absorbed what was left of the old Shakers food joints. Shakers was a staple in my life. Why?
They have the best carrot cake on URF!
That's it. Cut the music, hit the lights, the milk is getting warm, ya basta! They have the best fucking carrot cake around!
Try the carrot cake, it's awesome.

While exploring our new hood on foot and looking for a new, interesting place to have a late lunch, we were suddenly overcome with hunger, and ended up on Faire Oaks eating at the place I have driven past 100 times.
As far as ambiance, it was about what I expected, ie, 4 tops of blue-haired ladies, and 8 tops of middle class breeders.
There is a main dining room and a offshoot sun room -which is where I wanted to sit -but it "wasn't open" I find not having simple requests accommodated very irritating. Anyway.
We were seated next to the party of breeders and their offspring. It was ok. These particular breeders made some cute ones.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the menu: several choices of Britany style savory crepes: blue crab, chicken la Reine, Parisian, etc. and sweet ones for dessert: strawberries and cream, bananas foster, lemon custard and blueberry, Suzette, etc. Nice sounding salads, including a panko crusted rare ahi salad. We had plenty of time to study the menu and get salivating, because the waitress didn't show up for at least 10 minutes, bless her heart.
Giorgio had the blue crab crepe, I had the Ahi salad -we also had a bottle of LA Crema Chardonnay -so that may have influenced my palate and my overall impression of the place. Despite my happy, mid-afternoon buzz, I was annoyed by a few things: I noticed that the waitstaff just makes people wait unnecessarily. They need to fix that. The crepe, which was delicious with all its asparagus and creamy crab filling, looked enormous -but it was flatter than a pancake and had very little crab. My salad, which sounded so damn perfect, could have been so much better. The greens were tossed in a light lemon/tarrogon tasting dressing and there were red and yellow tomato wedges, however: A rare tuna should be hot on the outside and cold on the inside. This was all one temp all the way through: room temp. BLAH!
I'm sure we will be back. We can walk there, and how many places can you get crepes? Perhaps in the course of our visits, we can offer a little friendly feedback -like don't be so arrogantly slow, and tell that sour-faced, rolypoly hostess to put on a longer skirt and a service oriented attitude.
Decent food at a convenient location.
My best friend and her youth group invited me to a late lunch/early dinner at Wile Thyme Cafe. I had never heard of it and thought it was a restaurant with a cowboy/rodeo theme 'cause I thought it was "Wild Time"; apparently not though.
It's a cozy little place that reminded me of an older version (if that's possible) of Marie Callendar's, but better. I didn't eat as I had eaten previously before, but I had a bite of the Alfredo Pasta which was decent. My best friend ordered a cheesecake for dessert and it was by far the best I have ever tasted in my life - and I'm not real big on cheesecake.
Props to the waiters and waitresses who know how to use the ancient cash register. It's one of those really, really, really old ones from the 19th century where you put in this sheet of paper and you have to type the prices and total amount onto it. Least to say, I was really amused by it.
Don't ask questions just buy a loaf of zuchinni bread before you leave... you'll thank me later...
I think we found a breakfast place to bring the babies! I've driven past it a million times, so we decided to try it this morning. It looked like a place with booths. That's a necessity with twins. We went early in the morning so that we wouldn't bother too many people and we could get service fast. It turned out great.
They have a great kids breakfast menu. We ordered the egg, bacon and pancake plate for them to share. We ordered the Florentine Frittata and the waffle, eggs and turkey sausage plates. Both were good.
They have a good selection of breakfast items. We will have to try this place for lunch someday.
Weird as it is, "I'm a Fan" of their two salads: the chopped salad and the lettuce wedge with the blue cheese. The chopped salad IS habit forming; the menu copy didn't lie! And I'll eat anything smothered in bleu cheese, a weakness of mine.
The entrees are okay; nothing memorable. I'm not a big crepe guy, whether sweet or savory. The garlic cheese flatbread is awright, too, but I've never ben a fan of ANY type of zucchini bread.
Wild Thyme is a place we still like to go to when the chips are down and we don't feel like anything in particular.
What I miss most about the place is the butcher paper on the table and the crayons. They don't do that anymore.
FYI, Wild Thyme is part of a larger entity, sort of like a poor man's Patina Group empire of the SGV: Shaker's and Wild Thyme, Central Park (on Fair Oaks), Diner on Main (on Main Street, Near alhambra High School) and Beckham's Grill (formerly, the much, much better Beckham's Place)
Not a bad place, but not a first choice place for me, either.
I've been coming here for years, but my last few experiences have been dissatisfactory. Please mention on the menu when something is DIY, because I would not have ordered the shrimp lettuce wraps had I known you were making me the wrapper. And if you don't bring back the paper tablecloths and crayons I may not come back at all.
The bf had just recently gotten an iphone and downloaded a bunch of free apps on it. We were messing around with the urbanspoon app which suggested we eat lunch at Shakers. Driving up Fairoaks we saw Wild Thyme and decided to give it a try instead because we were both starving....coincidentally it happens to be Shaker's sister restaurant.
This place reminds me of slightly newer version of Marie Calendars. The decor inside is pretty sparse and unappealing. For lunch they have great lunch specials at regular portion size for $7.95 plus only $1 more for a drink. I had the turkey and brie sandwhich which was just okay because it was way too greasy. I usually love carmelized onions but the ones they put in the sandwhich made it too sweet and took away from the turkey and brie flavor. The bf had the trip-tip sandwhich with curley fries which were okay but nothing to rave about.
Overall the service was good and the waiter was very attentive and asked several times if we wanted refills on our drinks. For a decent sit down lunch for two with decent food and portions for $20 including tip, I might be back and order something else.
Met with some friends here. Would have loved to have tried the delicious sounding things on the menu, but was still full from breakfast earlier, so a friend and I split a brownie sundae instead.
It was your standard sundae (delicious) but what was so great was they brought it out cut in half and in two different bowls. Totally unnecessary but awesome nonetheless. Our service was great - the server was attentive and refilled my coffee whenever it was even half empty.
Maybe I'll be back again, if I ever find myself back in Pasadena.
I watch HBO's "Big Love" and had noticed they had shot a couple of episodes here. If you watch Big Love, Bill meets Ana here and buys the pie, while Margene befriends her without Bill knowing.
Since I'm in the South Pas area a lot, I decided to check it out.
I have been here twice, once for breakfast, I had their Eggs Benedict which was good.
The second time, I had their "Award Winning" White Chili Bean Soup...NOT good, could not finish it. Maybe I should have ordered something else.
Breakfast was good but maybe next time I'll try their pie, like Bill
More of a two and half star joint.
Coffee shop aiming for ladies who lunch-type clientele.
I always sit in the small glassed-in (not patio) area to the left of the entrance, and it always takes forever to get the wait staff to come over at the beginning. But once they know you're there, then the service is satisfactory. Two exceptions:
We had a waitress (I think her name was Amber) for lunch one day. She was great. She was on the spot right away, friendly (put up with obnoxious demands of my dining companion with a smile and laugh), and efficient from the get go. A real sweetheart.
A couple of weeks earlier, we had an obnoxious waiter who not once, twice but three times joined our table conversation with unwanted comments and advice. I wanted to punch him out at the start, and by the end of the meal I was seething. Luckily, they have a decent beer selection, so I simmered down.
The food is hit and miss. Their chopped salad used to be pretty good, now it's just barely this side of tasty. I think they stopped using olive oil in it. Pretty pricey for what you get.
What happened to the butcher paper and crayons? Minus a full star for this alone.
Overall, not a bad joint, but could be better.
Yes, the menu is ridiculously LIMITED!
So i'm going to review what I ate.
The half pounder monster burger, or whatever they choose call it.
HOLY HELL... that baby was effing delicious. so juicy so rare and the bread! so warm and soft and just too good.
The service was good.
There ya have it.
The Crab Bisque soup is one of the best I have had. Hands down. I sometimes call on my way home from work to see if they have any that day, but the disengaged host or hostess usually bursts my bubble and flatly says "no. wait, whats a bisque?". Right.
The crepes aren't that great. In fact, they just opened up a French Bisto in downtown Alhambra that does crepes to perfection! I would recommend a trip there over Wild Thyme.
It basically a non-franchised Coco's decorated by your Aunt Millie. Check please!
Sucks in every way. It's a South Pasadena "institution", which is more than enough reason to burn it to the ground and shoot the management. The food - depressingly unimaginative comfort food.
The staff - typical LA hipster dipshits.
The clientele - fat old people, soccer moms that have had some mid-range plastic surgery and their bratty children, and some other folks who are lost, trying to make their way from where the 710 ends to Pasadena.
Remembering there was something about this place I liked the last time I was here nearly a decade ago, the Beer and I stopped in for lunch on our way off to see the tax wizard.
With it's casual, country kitchen vibe, this is the kind of place that reminds you of grandma .. and the kind of place you could bring her for a meal out.
As I recalled, the service was warm and easy and the list of baked goods and sweets runneth over. We shared the appetizer platter which was ok and had the chopped salad (also just ok), but the turkey brie melt sandwich was pretty good. Just like I remembered, the zucchini bread (which is offered with nearly all the meals) was sweet and tasty.
This is really more of a 3.5 star place, but I like it too much to just give it 3. Though not quite what I remembered after all these years, the food and the experience was reasonably good, and if you're in the area with a sweet tooth and in the mood for something easy and affordable, it's a good pick.
Here we go again. Blueberry fruit tart, apple pie, brownies, a plate of homebaked cookies, etc., etc. For an additional $1.10, you can have a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream with any dessert order. Not this time, though.
(I still can't believe this enormous willpower I now have when it comes to sweets. My sweet tooth must have a cavity or something.)
So anyway...I had the chicken caprese sandwich which had grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, roma tomatoes, field greens and balsamic vinagrette in between two pieces of focaccia bread. DELICIOUS! However, the side of fruit wasn't as delicious - cantaloupe and watermelon were tired, but at least the grapes were edible.
Atmosphere is cute - kind of a country kitchen-type of setting, and the clientele is a mix of young and old. They also have a bakery counter in the front that displayed goodies which I looked at, but didn't touch. (This can't be happening...)
Wild Thyme is a good place to go for lunch or dinner if you happen to be in the South Pas area. The food is great and I'm sure the desserts are great, too.
I used to work here as a hostess in HS. It wasn't the most glamorous job, but I met some really friendly people and enjoyed all the free zucchini bread. They sell loafs of them and were very popular. The carrot cake is also very tasty. All the homemade bake goods are mouth-watering.
The restaurant is shaped like a house with a white picket fence, the interior is comfy and causal. The food is always good and the milkshakes are hand-made as well. YUM!
Wild Thyme is one of those restaurants that I can't give up going to. While I can't say it's one of my favorites, I do enjoy going there and have never had a bad dinner there (I've only gone for dinner). Plus, parking's pretty easy and painless. It's never that busy where we have to wait for a table either.
I usually order one of the giant Brittany crepes. They have weekly specials and I look to see if the special crepe is appealing. If not, I usually have the chicken la reine, occasionally requesting extra mornay sauce which they will give you in a jiffy.
Turnover seems high at this restaurant. But it all works out because I've never had bad service.
I've read the other reviews and people seem to be a bit turned off by the country decor. Well, I remember when it was MORE ugly. They actually updated it with some remnants from the slightly more chic old Burbank location (like the Merry-go-round pig hanging from the ceiling). I think the place has a "shabby chic"/ Vera Bradley feel to it now versus the "just old lady grandma in a crocheted shawl" feel.
I do long for the good ol' days when they used to have brownie sundaes and the most awesome pasta salad with the crepe. I have never asked a restaurant for a recipe before until that pasta salad. Sadly, the waitress said she didn't know and didn't think the chef would give it. Well, she could have asked. For that, one less star for you!
If your in the area and have a craving for a delish slice of carrot cake, make sure you check out Wild Thyme. This place has taken a dive in recent years. Theres not the attention to detail and "comfy" environment that there used to be. Still, they manage to put out excellent mouth watering pies.
If your not into pies, they also have a wide assortment of pastries like zucchini loaf, croissants, muffins. You get the jist.
I like drawing.
I really like drawing on tables.
Wild Thyme makes me happy =)
Yes, my mom got a green bug in her salad once. Whoops!
But the staff apologized and didn't charge her for the meal.
The desserts were the best!! Especially the caramel snicker cheesecake! It's to die for!!!
So in the *star* class system..
1 star for table drawing.
1 star for the desserts.
1 star for owning up to the green bug.
-1 star for wait time.
-1 star for having any green bugs any where near any food.
This place totally blows. I've only been here once & I'll probably never go back.
I ordered the 'Southwestern Chicken Quiche' which, really, it's probably my own fault for ordering that. I don't see how you can mix classic French cuisine with weirdo 'Southwestern' flavors when you go to a mediocre Coco's style restaurant & expect WOW! Instead of WOW! I got more of a WHAT. If the custard base hadn't been rubbery & the crust hadn't been so dry & overcooked from re-heating, it wouldn't have been that bad.
The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars & not just 1 is because this exact location is where they filmed some episodes of Big Love. AWESOME. I think I might have sat right when Bill Paxton sat. DOUBLE AWESOME.
You won't have room for dessert! I ordered a half portion of the Chicken La Reine crepe, and it took up 3/4 of the plate! Also had a Ravenswood Merlot - uh huh!
My friend got the Balsamic Chicken dish which came with mashed potatoes - he pretty much licked the plate clean.
I came here a LONG TIME AGO, and it's got to be a different owner now, because the decor is much more sophisticated and they got rid of that whole Little Red Riding Hood/Laura Ingalls/Country Store look.
Our waitress was very attentive and nice. Didn't have room for dessert, but will come back to try breakfast and lunch!
We were driving along fair oaks trying to find something to eat in a nice cozy environment and I happened to remember this restaurant. I We walked in and was greeted by the host which gave us a 10p.m. til closing menu.
Long story short - this place is great!!!! I ordered the turkey and brie melt and it was just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!! The bbq pork ribs came with a broccoli salad and curly fries....very very good too. Since it was pretty late...I didnt want to get dessert too..so we made plans to come back for them. The dessert menu is awesome! I love almost all of them - need to try the banana foster, orange crepes, and strawberry and cream....these are soo hard to find and they are all reasonably priced. less than $6.00.
so happy I found this restaurant and they open late too!!! will come again soon!
I LOVE THIS PLACE and I go here regularly and will continue to do so.
But I'm giving this place 1 star cuz the service at the last 3 brunches there has been unbearably sloooooowwwww.
