“This place was awesome! The Turkey/White Cheddar Sandwich with Black Pepper Kettle Chips was by far the best cafe lunch I've ever had! The atmosphere was amazing, as well as the dock and outdoor seating. I will definitely make this a routine stop anytime I'm in the area!”

“So good and tasty! Quick service and decent prices.”

“Great food and snacks. A awesome location that must be visited.”

“The atmosphere was just perfect for a cute little local breakfast spot. Walking up to door, outdoor seating area was inviting but we chose inside anyways. Looks smaller from outside but once in, actually cozy big dining area.Service was great, food delicious ( had to try to sour dough bread and mouthwatering coffee cake) which both were above our expectations. We'd definitely be back if in area again.”

“We were treated like royalty here. My two friends had two wine samplers and had a glass of wine. I had the cherry lime soda and cherry cream soda and a sampling of cherry pie ice cream. We shared a plate of their fantastic French fries served with the hoppy beer cheese sauce and all agreed the fries were perfectly seasoned and the cheese sauce positively drinkable. Bella and Chef spoiled us. I can hardly wait for my next trip up from Detroit to try more! Thank you for your hospitality!!”

“We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner at Nonna’s. The surf and turf were very good. The beet salad, filet and the scallops were very good as well as the presentation and service. It is very convenient to have dinner at Nonna’s and not have to drive on New Years Eve.”

“Wow! One of the most beautiful places I have ever eaten, the waiter was amazing, we told him we had just gotten married and got us a free glass of champagne! This is a must see place! The view is amazing on a sunny day”

“Great place! Friendly staff! Good food! Fun atmosphere! We had dinner and enjoyed it! Keep up the wonderful tradition.”

“Outstanding pan pizza and cheesie bread. I would go back and get take out anytime I am in town. The atmosphere is lacking in coziness/warmth. They have picnic tables out back which are kid friendly.”

“Good place to stop for ice cream. $5.50 for a baby cone this size is a good deal to me. Recommend the rush hour hand dipped. A couple of young people running it, but did pretty good.”

“I just want to say thank you fo taking such great care of us even during these trying times during the pandemic!! You have overnighted us enough product to get us thru the instability of your bean supplier and kept us running strong! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all you folks and again it’s such a pleasure to do business with a “Partner” instead of just a supplier!! Thank you again!! Ozark Coffee Company Harrison, AR”

“Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! The food was excellent, portions were large, service was quick and friendly, and the outdoor seating was great! The food isn't "touristy" (meaning it's not low quality like other places in the area). We live about 20 minutes away and wanted a nice place to take my visiting relatives, so we thought we'd give it a try and I'm happy we did! My husband and I will definitely be back.”

“Best perch I've ever had!!! Good portions too! Suzie was fantastic!!!”

“Best Boeuf Bourguignon...”

“Great sandwich shop in the area. Loved the pretzel roll buns. Sandwich was very well portioned and will fill you up!”

“Quaint but bustling place with professional service and great food. The house antipasto salads were fresh and tasty. We each had a pasta dish and pasta was perfectly al dente. The penne with broccoli and linquini with shrimp had a flavorful sauces, the lasagna was great as was the penne and spicy sausage. Definitely coming back.”

“great food and service, fast and easy.”

“Party of four had dinner there on July 4, 2025. Food was good, but not as advertised on the menu. The apple salad was small and did not have candied walnuts on it and the nachos had no cheese on them. The 1/2 ribs that my husband ordered were tasty, but we ended up ordering cheesy fries after our meals because we were still hungry. The ribs came with coleslaw and nothing else.The server was friendly and efficient.”

“When it’s busy, and the fresh waffle cones are so fresh they’re still a little warm and a little soft….its the best!”

“We had the absolute best ever… Ever… Coffee shake. It’s a must!”
