“Great friendly service! They know their products and are very helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed and very clean! The burgers are really good ( and I’m not a huge burger fan). The chicken tenders are so very tasty! The breading is just right. Perfect flavor, perfect texture and the chicken is real and tender meat! This place is a CAN’T MISS!!!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Prairie Grass Cafe. The spring rolls were loaded with delicious perfectly cooked shrimp and the accompanying sauce (sweet chili with garlic and cilantro) plays nicely with them. The flounder with roasted carrots and parsnip-potato purée was as delicious as it looks. It was generously portioned and beautifully plated. We also enjoyed the mussels with parsley, shallots, and breadcrumbs pasta. My husband is Sicilian and it reminded us of the pasta con le sarde that we love to have in Sicily. The mussels were plump and delicious. The wine list is very nice. We found wines we really enjoyed and they were reasonably priced. We enjoyed the Attems, Pinot Grigio, Friuli, Italy ‘22 with our mussels and flounder, and the Fritz Haag, Riesling, Germany ‘21 with our pumpkin pie for dessert. Service was perfect.“

“So I would overall give this a five stars because firstly walking in the attendance are very nice and this was my first time here and they gave us complementary donuts so I give the food a four out of five only because the burger was messy and like it was really good though. For the service that gets a solid five, our waiter was nice and he was like taking orders and doing his job quickly and was very thoughtful for the atmosphere. I would give it a five because you could bring your dog outside. You can eat inside. You can eat really anywhere you want you don’t also have to come in with a reservation. And for the cleanliness of the floors, I’d give that a 4.6 just because I saw a little fry on the floor and the bathrooms get a 4.7 because the sink area is a little messy overall I’d give this a 9.3 out of 10. I recommend coming back here again.“

“My daughter had her wedding at this venue on 8/4/25. From the point of discussing the space, to reviewing the contract, to discussing options, to answering ALL of our questions, to the tasting, to the day of, our event coordinator (not sure that's her specific title) Amanda was nothing short of stellar. She was patient, thorough, and accommodating ensuring that my daughter was comfortable in a very important time of her life. Our event captain (again not sure of her title) Kylie also was amazing -- handling each of our requests quickly and pleasantly. These two ladies are an asset to your company & should be commended for their fantastic work ethic. All the event staff from the bartenders, to servers, to bus boys were pleasant and efficient. The food was delicious as well. Our event was amazing & memorable largely due to the associates we interacted with.“
