Restaurants near Germantown Hills

“Maria and I popped in on a day that was supposed to be rainy and storm but ended up nice and sunny. We both hadn't heard about this place until I did some Googling and we made quick plans to visit it at our earliest convenience. We just happened to pick a day when they were doing road construction and I wasn't sure I would even be able to get in but there were other cars parked there so I knew coffee was soon in my future.The parking lot itself was very small and shared with the other businesses in this... interesting building. We parked and headed in and I was instantly feeling like we were in a house converted into a coffeehouse. No complaints there as that is one of my favorite aesthetics for a place that slings caffeine. The interior is rather small and tight but the decor was a homerun. I loved the things hanging on the wall, the cork coasters with fun little coffee sayings, the general vibe of it all tied together.Maria ordered her latte and I ordered my usual Americano and we took the seats next to the front door. It didn't take long to get our drinks and we settled in to our usual coffee hangout routine. While I loved the coffeehouse, I was indifferent on my drink. It wasn't as bitter as I usually like and had a weird... I don't know... diluted sweetness to it. While I always enjoy what I get to a certain extent, I would definitely ordered something different if I ever came back.If you are hungry, they don't have a food menu but there was some slices of cake or baked goods on hand. Not really sure what they were as there was no labeling to identify what they were (aside from one being GF, which would be for Gluten Free).Luckily, I really enjoyed the coffeehouse itself despite the cramped lounge/parking lot and the lackluster (in my opinion) Americano. It's a place I wouldn't hesitate to come back to for a caffeine fix.Parking: Parking lot isn't really marked and shared with neighboring businesses. Shouldn't have too much trouble finding a spot unless it's at rush hours.”

“Great atmosphere and food. Sit in the back "Italy" area. Try the ice cream after your meal. Love this place! Oh, and really nice small banquet hall attached. Thanks Mike and Vanessa!”

“We visited on a Monday evening.The Grille was very busy but we were seated in a timely manner. Our party of four were very happy with our servers and food was delicious. We will be back!”

“We have a very picky eater. A few months ago she wanted to go out to eat and get French toast. With an internet search, I found the Buttermilk Cafe. Because she is usually a slow eater, I put her order in before the rest of us had made up our minds. She enjoyed her food so much, that she finished ALL of her food as we were getting ours. She's always asking to go back. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is that a couple of weeks ago the baby had fallen asleep without eating breakfast. I wanted to have food in the car when he woke up. They wouldn't bring food to the car. :(”

“Great food huge portions everything is great there. Just don't try to call an order in during busy times, because they take thier phone off the hook and can't get through, so they don't have to do any carry out orders!”

“Ardor provides an incredibly wonderful culinary experience right here in downtown Peoria. The food is so fresh, high quality, and full of amazing flavors. Their menu features many different options and each is beautifully presented by the very talented crew. I’ve enjoyed watching the staff prepare the food to absolute perfection - Alyssa and Kaitlynn in the mornings and Emily and Zeke in the evenings. I regularly pop in and sit at the bar without a reservation. If you don’t wish to sit at the bar, don't be surprised if you can't get a table without a reservation, and even at the bar there can be a wait to get a seat. Last week I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese and it was the best comfort food. Visit often, try the new items, find your favorites, and definitely take home some bakery goodies. Make sure to try a fabulous cocktail crafted by mixologist, Kostas. You won’t be disappointed.”
