The food is consistently good with the new menu and a great value. The cocktails aren't life changing but they have good bar menu specials.

Food is truly not it. My food was taken without being asked and so I did not get to finish my meal. Service could be better. Felt rushed the entire time even though the place was empty and they closed in 2-3 hours from when I arrived.

My friends and I decided to meet for brunch in a neutral location, and all agreed to try The Emory. I love the Ferndale area, so I was excited to try the restaurant. There were a few menu items that caught my eye, but I decided to go with a side order of the Truffle Fries, and the Spicy Boi Bowl w/ an English Muffin. The food was really appetizing to me, and my friends also enjoyed their food as well. The only concern that we had was the overall service. Our waitress did not come to our table for almost 15 minutes to take our orders. After we ordered our drinks and food, we did not receive the drinks until about 20 minutes later, and one of my friends went to talk to (I believe it was the manager, a lady that was serving drinks behind the bar and was told that there were only two waiters trying to serve the entire restaurant). Our food came out shortly afterwards, and again, the food was really good. But we had to keep asking for water refills, extra napkins, and butter and jelly for our toast. We went on a Sunday afternoon, around 1:30 pm. I wouldn't mind going back to try other menu options at the restaurant, bc it's nice vibe, and I love the location. I would just hope next time the service is more efficient.

I went here to have some fun out of the ordinary. The show was kind of fun, but the service and the food could be better. The small portions were very high priced, and I guess it could have been better.

At The Emory, expect stellar service and an unforgettable three cheese grilled sandwich. Their small plates are equally delicious, making it a brunch spot worth revisiting.

WARNINGS: sexual harassment on the job, abusive workplace. The following was posted originally from another person in another group and was immediately taken down, not myself, but the accusations and behavior exhibited by the owner and manager I have personally been witness to. "I worked for WABco (the Emory, the WAB, port and the Loving Touch) on and off for nearly five years. Over a month ago, I sent a three page email to the main owner of WABco detailing what I see as a culture of not only physical hazard but also health, and personnel hazard. " While employed there I was often told to serve expired goods (I refused to do so), employees were expected to work after being physically ill. "I was sexually harassed by a manager who was given a very light slap on the wrist and then allowed to be my closing manager for a whole summer." I saw many male coworkers get away with sexual misconduct, assault, and other abusive behaviors while the women within the company are held to a completely different standard. Myself and others were spoken to in verbally abusive ways by their kitchen manager. "I waited a month after sending an email to the owner and only received a reply from the them after I reaching out a second time and it was nothing but excuses, and no actual acknowledgment of any of my allegations, or even an apology." I am not calling for a boycott, I am simply communicating with my community about a business's practices. A business many of us have brought our children to, a place we've spent our hard-earned money at. A place where we've met friends and significant others. It is high time that we demand better behavior from the businesses within our city. Ferndale is a place where we should all be safe, men, women, children, LGBTQ+, POC. Everyone. I gave the owner a month to give me a response. I have been more than fair in private. I was only met with excuses and no real change was offered.

What a delightfully quaint little gem in Ferndale... Sliders were delicious and the bartender (Kara) was hilarious/fun.

Cool place. A bit pricey, but sliders and truffle fries are good. Food would have been better if served hot.

Went there for a Drag brunch. They didn't have enough seating even though I paid for a ticket. My food took 2 hours and wasn't cooked. The bathroom didn't have paper towels. The show was great but the service was lacking. I'll definitely go to another show but not sure I'll go to it at that place ever again.
