They didn’t serve espresso ( on the day we went ), which is the reason we went at all. The menu for lunch was limited in our opinion and the water we drank in place of espresso was dirty and had flakes in it. We left and ate else where.

The salads are fantastic whether you eat in or have carry out. Highly recommend this place. Good atmosphere.

Service nice,food good, loved the burger, side salad very good. Ordered Ruben but short of bread so no go on that. Ordered meat balls, out of that also. Grilled cheese good. Apple harvest salad had potential, chicken moist and tender. Restrooms were clean

We stopped here on our way to the river for a picnic while kayaking the current. Best decision ever! They were open early, served us super quickly and went well out of their way to pack it for our excursion and the coffee house club was one of the best sandwiches we've ever eaten. Won't do Subway in Salem ever again. Sooo much better. Be aware, they park in the shade, so the parking lot looks empty when they are actually open.

My husband and I started going to this restaurant when they first opened. The steaks were very good. They were a nice thickness and cooked as ordered. In the last few months, the steaks are getting thinner and they are not cutting them good at all. They are serving them with much more fat. Last night I got the 16ounce ribeye and my husband got the 16 ounce strip. I couldn’t believe it when my steak came out. Exactly half of it was total fat. Ribeyes usually have fat throughout that can be cut out but there was more total fat than meat. My husbands cut was thin and fatty also but not as bad as mine. After telling my server he informed me that the owner who cut the meat and prepared it said he cut it slightly larger than 16 ounces because he was aware of this giant chunk of fat. This piece of steak should never have been served to a customer. This was the last straw and we won’t be going back. This restaurant has been going downhill for a while. Now it’s bad

Visited the restaurant on a Saturday evening with friends on their recommendation and had a steak dinner. Family owned, friendly and attentive staff, great food and a reasonable price. The place is popular with local residents and friends advised they had numerous items from the menu, and complimented the meals. Will definitely eat there again next trip through the area.

Restaurant is family owned. Ordered a tropical salad, with cheesecake for dessert. Both were very tasty.

Friday morning breakfast around 9:30. Ordered the Belle's Special. Always take home half of the serving since it is so much. Great, fresh breakfast. Going back in the morning to order a pancake. When leaving a patron had ordered himself a pancake platter and the pancake totally covered the plate. Just a good place to eat.

Trout fishing in the area we were told this was a good restaurant for a steak. You have your choice of two steaks, Ribeye or Strip in 8 oz, 12 oz or 16 oz. The owner ages his meat for 45 days and everytime a steak is ordered it is cut fresh. There were three of us and we ordered a 16 oz strip, 16 oz Ribeye and half rack of ribs. Our steaks were cooked perfect at Medium and the other Medium Well. The owner came around to the tables, which are appropriattely spaced apart, and asked how our meals were. I told him I thought my steak was much larger than 16 oz and he said it was probably closer to 20 oz. And that's when he explained the aging of the beef and that he cuts each steak fresh per order. We also had a baked potatoe and nice lettuce salad. The service was excellent and no roof for homemade desserts. Well satisfied and very happy to reccommend the restaurant. I have review a lot of restaurants in a lot of countries, but this is the only restaurant I have given an excellent rating in every catagory.
Awesom food all the away around my favorite is the bell special. There salads are really good to. Family owned..

Their food is very good, served quickly. The menu items are different from run of the mill restaurants. They seem to specialize in different types of sandwiches although plate meals are available too. The restaurant is rather cramped, but if one doesn't mind this type of atmosphere, it is a great place to dine.

The steak special was excellent. I highly recommend the ribeye which was cooked well done to perfection. The large salad was wonderful along with the baked potato. The service was very pleasant. Why go to a farther destination when we have such a wonderful restaurant nearby.

What a thrill to see open faced roast beef as the special for the day. Awesome flavor. That cheese dip for their pretzel was awesome as was the lemon cake.
