Horrendous service

Great Coffee, Bored Staff. Overall, Underwhelming.

I seldom write reviews unless there's something of note worth mentioning about the experience. It had been recommended I try out Hail Fellow Well Met for their brunch and overall atmosphere and was more than excited to give them a shot. Upon entering, I was blindsided by the modern look of the building despite being in Johnson Arkansas. The brickwork on the interior was positively incredible as well as every inch of seating they've included. As far as looks go, they've got that nailed down properly. Where the illusion was shattered was when I tired to order. Having never been here, I'd expected some sort of menu recommendations or at the bare minimum a greeting from the staff. When I'd found the menu, I began searching for a brunch section only to discover that they only do brunch on the weekends. Fine, that's on me. I checked out the AM side of the menu to see if there was any sort of alternative they could offer, but felt pressured by the waiter to just hurry up and order anything. I ordered 2 coffees to start the meal off and was handed a buzzer, only to get buzzed in and get told that my drinks were actually not ready. When I asked how long it would be, I couldn't get a straight answer from the staff. Sure, it's only a few minutes to whip together a drink, but to get faked out on beverages like that is at the very least annoying. I fear the prestige that this place has earned has replaced itself with pretension. Maybe next year

Staff was dry and not very helpful. Felt like I was talking to a brick wall. Coffee was good, but I didn't realize brunch was only on the weekends.

This was the first time I went for dinner. We decided to share a couple of appetizers -- the hummus and the cauliflower. It was plenty of food and very flavorful. I love the atmosphere and the service is always great!

Food is good, but they no longer offer full service, you have to get your own food, utensils, etc. Cleanliness was not the best and they still ask you for tip when you pay upfront.

Normally I love the burger. It’s juicy, very tasty and hot, but today it was bland, on the dry side and barely room temp. At $29 I expect it to be excellent each time.

A 45 minute wait for a half empty restaurant slinging overpriced eggs? What a joke.

Excellent food. However, we got the bottomless coffee and now that they don’t use servers, we had to get up and get our own refills during the meal. For this level of restaurant quality food, it’s kind of disappointing to have to serve yourself. Also kind of weird that you have to decide what you’d like to eat before you are seated. I hadn’t seen the menu beforehand.

One of my fave places! It was my second time eating there. The hostess was fabulous, she was so sweet and kind. We went on a Saturday morning and they were busy with a little wait and the hostess made sure to check on us from time to time and apologized for us having to wait.

I absolutely love the atmosphere, everything is on point with the decor, interior design, and music. The decor has a modern French Japanese aesthetic.

The food and drinks were on point! I highly recco the Fomo coffee, it’s delish and the sandwich was out of this world! I had the Breakfast Sammy with what tasted like yum yum sauce.

I can’t wait to go back. Please open one near me in the West Bottoms, Kansas City or Westside please. Xxxx

Kid-friendliness: My 8-year-old niece enjoyed the experience! She loved the seats as they were really comfy and she really liked the food (she had the espresso bacon).

The coolest cafe/coffee shop I've ever been to. In all the countries and all the years of traveling the world. This is amazing!
