“Amy is amazing!!! She came out and served coffee at our Cub Scout pack event tonight! All the drinks were so gooood!!!!!!!”

“This is definitely a small town hangout for the locals it seems. It was our first visit, but everyone else that came in was clearly a regular and greeted by name. That's not easy to find in bigger places!

Our food was really tasty. There's nothing too fancy on the menu. Basically typical Midwest bar food, but it's well executed. Service was prompt and friendly.”

“We tried out the BBQ beef banh mi and it was fantastic! We will definitely be back! The milk tea was great too!”

“Went here for my wife’s birthday and it was absolutely perfect. Every single thing was amazing.”

“Staff was friendly, attentive, and fun. Atmosphere was hoppin in a good way with great music. Most importantly, the food was fantastic. Burger was juicy and full of flavor. For those pickle lovers like me The Pickler hit the spot with a side of jalapeño pasta salad with just the right amount of spice. 10 out of 10.”

“Terrible experience, very disappointed with our visit today. We talked about going there all weekend because we enjoy the 86. Drove over an hour to get there by four today because they were closing early. The girl at the front was very sweet. We were very excited to be there and told her it was our first time there. She said we could sit down and order or go to the bar. We sat down and several servers looked at us, but no one waited on us. We went to the bar and said we had never been there before. A guy said there is a menu on the counter but I'll be over there cleaning, let me know what you want and walked away. We had no idea what we were doing since it was our first time there. I wanted to try wines and my husband whiskey, but not if no one wanted to wait on us. So, we looked at each other and decided to leave. Once in the parking lot I realized it was a long way home and I should use the restroom first. So, I went back in, and I told the girl behind the counter we were leaving because no one waited on us, but I needed to use the restroom first. When I came out of the restroom she said to enjoy the rest of our day. Would have had a better day if we could have tried something... Went from very excited to be there to can't wait to leave...”

“I’m only in CR on weekends and I visit whenever I’m able to, the atmosphere of the shop is incredible and kind. The workers are very friendly everytime and make engaging conversation. The flowers are beautiful and we ended up buying a small plant from upstairs and we love it :)”

“This place hit the spot!! It was so good and so much food I ate for days!! Vegan food was great, and my Uncle and partner ate meat and said the same. You won’t go wrong making this your next dinner date!!”

“From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our big day. The space is absolutely beautiful—modern, elegant, and welcoming. But what really made it special was the incredible team behind it all. The staff -especially Melissa-at The Hotel at Kirkwood went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were organized, responsive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless—from the setup to the food to the flow of the evening. Our guests were raving about the venue, and we felt so supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a wedding location that combines style, comfort, and top-notch service, we can't recommend The Hotel at Kirkwood enough!”

“Nothing finer then Tiffy Jos diner on a Sunday morn”

“after finding me in the dumpster, instead of being afraid or warning me off the manager actually asked me if I needed something to eat. I was treated to an ever bowl and it was amazing. absolutely delicious. being a vegetarian, and not a very good one I don't really get nutrition like I should. Both workers were absolutely amazing, cheerful and had a wonderful attitude towards their fellow human being. I recommend this place greatly. thank you so much for the new food experience.”

“It is a must go if you are looking for a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Easy to order in or to go. The daily bakery specials are to die for.”

“New to CR … this was our second sushi stop and it was by far the best! Of course we did the All You Can Eat Sushi option and it was soooooo good. Everything came out fast. Portions were large and this place had a much bigger selection than the other recommended sushi place. Sushi 🍣 was fresh… We left super full and happy 🫰”

“I am from out of town and have been wanting to eat here for a long time. I finally did and I am not disappointed!! I had a turkey sausage, egg and cheese croissant sandwich and it was SO good. She asked if I needed coffee and I said only if you have decaf… and sugar free… and she does! And my latte was delicious! It’s so cute and clean in there too and easily accessible. Will be back!”
