501 E Franklin Ave, Sesser

“My husband and I ate here for the first time today. Lexi greeted us at the door, we sat down, and she quickly got our drinks. They had a nice.buffet set up but we chose tonorder from the menu.I got the seafood trio and he got the grilled swordfish.Both came with a nice salad, choice of potato, and a vegetable. I got a baked potato and green beans, and my husband got mashed potatoes and cabbage.The salad was crisp and fresh, with red onion, cucumber, tomato, shredded cheese, and croutons. The thousand island dressing was really good.The main courses came out quickly. Everything was delicious and cooked very well. My entree included clamstraps. Usually clam is rather rubbery but this was really tender. The fried ahrimp had a cornmeal type breading instrad of the usual flour based and gave it a nice crunch.The fish was flaky and well seasoned. The baked potato was cooked perfectly. I sampled my husband's swordfish and it was so good. It reminded me of a nice steak.I also ordered some garlic parmesean wings to go for my son. He said they were delicious.The place was spotless, and beautifully decorated . We had the opportunity to speak with the owners and they were both very nice. All the staff we encountered were great. They have other items besides seafood, and daily specials. This is definitely a place worth checking out!Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu.”

“The kind of coffee shop people like me long for and that I dreamed of when moving to Sesser about a year before it opened. Just perfect coffee, food (pastries and sandwiches are amazing and that potato salad is to die for), service, atmosphere (whoever picks the background music has the exact same tastes I do, and the decor is homey). I visit this place weekly and enjoy it to the max every time.”

“This is the hidden gem of Franklin County! I stop in about once a week. The owner is a really nice guy that throws down in the kitchen. I've had the double bacon cheese burger which was one of the messiest and tastiest burgers I've ever had. The fries are the awesome crinkle cut ones and they don't overpower you with salt. The Italian beef is fantastic. Really juicy! Overall the food and the service make this a really great place and I will be back again and again”

“Had a wonderful Breakfast. The server was ever so attentive and she made certain my guests were perfectly happy with the service and meal. Sits within the confines with a bar, a simple bar with the bare minimums. Do not have beer on draft and neither the ingredients to make a Dirty Martini nor a Manhattan; but, the servers make every effort to service quickly and keep an eye out for another round should ine so choose. Even have some slot machines to pass the time and add some change to one's pocket. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner are served with the doors opening around 5:30 AM - especially great for those that may wish Breakfast before going to work or out on the hunt for Deer Season.”

“We made our first visit to the "The Buzz" to find out what all of the buzz was about. It started with the ambiance of a sweet cafe decorated with love. The smell of fresh coffee delights the senses as soon as you open the door. We were greeted by Lee, the owner of this little gem, at the register. She helped us with the menus and explained the order at the counter process.The menu is full of unique sandwiches, daily soups, and all of your favorite salads. Everything sounded so good that it took a while to decide. We ordered 3 different 1/2 sandwiches with a pickle and chips, chicken dumping soup, and a salad. We left nothing on our table except for a few chips.The servers work hard preparing your order and deliver them to your table. They also worked as a team to promptly refill drinks and clear the tables off. Gratuity is appreciated, I'm sure.Sorry I didn't get pictures because it all looked so good we couldn't wait. If I did anything different, I would have saved room for bread pudding. Sigh, next time, I'll take some to go :)”

“The food was ok. Steak fries were more like wedges and way over cooked, almost burnt. Service was below par, but not the servers fault. They were very understaffed. The atmosphere is dim and a bit dingy. Could use a good deep cleaning, a new coat of paint, and some updates.”

I didn’t care for the cold spinach dip but the taste was good, just would go better warm. Might stop back again if I was in the area. Fries were meh.Parking: Was hard to find the parking lot. Sidewalk was not salted for winter ice conditions and we had a man in his late 80’s struggle from the parking lot up the block to the restaurant.”
