“Stumbled across The Tattered Toad when the orchard we were going to didn't have any vegetarian options for lunch. The fried cauliflower, mac abd cheese bites, poppers, onion rings and hot pepper bites were so tasty. Everyone enjoyed their food and they even have a kids menu. There is a super fun playground across the street that all 3 kids plus the grown ups had fun in.”

The shrimp and crab meat were high quality, the avocados perfectly ripe. Loads of yummy bubbles in my bubble tea. Staff were friendly and fun but also professional and fast. It’s a tiny cute restaurant with inside dining space. A hidden gem of Campus-town. I will be coming back to this place for sure.Vegetarian options: Tofu bowl and also the edamame is a protein option. Corn is mixed in to provide contrast.”

Bourbon Wiskey Flight

“Step into the London Underground and get ready for a vibe that's classic London pub with a twist. This spot is all about the whiskey and handmade drinks, catering to those who appreciate a quality pour.Now, here's the deal – they've got $1 Gin and Tonics. Yep, you heard that right. It's no wonder the place is buzzing with college crowds and locals looking for a good time without breaking the bank.We swung by on a Thursday night, around 9 pm, and surprisingly scored a table for six without any hassle. Despite the crowd, it had that laid-back atmosphere we all dig.And let me tell you about the drinks. We kicked back with some seriously good Old Fashioneds with the family, soaking in that authentic London pub feel.We were hyped for the Absinthe night coming up, especially since it coincided with my wife's birthday bash. But, unfortunately, plans fell through. That's life, I guess.Overall, if you're after that classic London pub experience with a modern twist, the London Underground is the spot to hit up.Parking: Parking is in the street and shared with other bars and businesses.Wheelchair accessibility: Not really an accessible joint for the wheelchair bound.”

“Exceptional food with a rotating menu, their own incredible beer, ciders, and seltzer's on tap with seasonal options always coming online. The brussels are a must, each visit. I would definitely consider the food a fusion experience, with some classics mixed in, giving everyone something to enjoy. The last visit my wife had Chilaquiles, which I would describe as a Huevos Rancheros mixed with nacho, she let me have some and I will be ordering that next time for sure! My son had the Jam On Flatbread, and I had the Crabrangoon Flatbread, both were incredible! If you're looking for a new place to try check them out.”

“For me, Time Out is the perfect combination of a retro arcade and karaoke venue. The arcade includes a vintage Street Fighter II cabinet, my favorite game of all time. As a teenager of the early 1990s, I was practically addicted to SFII. I also love to sing and hear the other karaoke performers on Saturday nights. I struggle with social anxiety every day, but I always feel welcome at Time Out, especially on karaoke nights. I don't drink, but Time Out is my favorite local hangout.”

“This was a splurge meal for someone who is low sodium. It was very well worth it!! They choose the Buffalo on a thin crust. It was delicious and just as expected!We also got The Prairie Special on the Idaho crust. This was our favorite crust! Great flavor and texture! The toppings were a different combo than I had tried before, but I greatly enjoyed them. One of our "meat only" members thought it was their favorite of our 3.The last pizza was all meat except shrimp and chicken on the Denver thick crust with honey. The crust was ok. We normally always get thin crusts, but our sons requested one that wasn't thin crust. The 3 that ate it said it was OK. 2 tried it with the honey, liked it more thinking of it as a crusty bread. I think their opinions on the crust are more about the personal preference/used to thin crust. We got it based on the website, saying it was the most popular. We would personally not get this crust again. I would be interested in trying the oat if we get a thick crust next time. There is nothing wrong with this crust type, just not our preference.Dietary restrictions: We had gluten-free, grain-free people in our group. (The dairy light and low salt people choose to enjoy this meal as a special exception)We ordered 3 different crusts. The Idaho for those with restrictions. We actually felt that was the best of the 3 crusts we ordered. They say it isn't fully gluten-free because it is made in the same kitchen. We don't have anyone with celiac, so I can't speak on how it would affect that. But we didn't have any issues with it. I wish we had ordered the oat crust as our thick option.Parking: We were doing a pick-up at noon on Saturday as college students were coming back from Spring Break. It was busy everywhere, but there were a few spaces around the corner.”

There isn't a large selection of food items but I've liked the soup of the day when I have had it. The coffee shop itself is cute and usually it's a pretty quiet place to get work done. It can get really packed on weekends in the morning and tables fill up quickly so maybe plan on taking your coffee to go if you visit Saturday or Sunday morning.”
