Cafe Telegraph Smoke Shack

Got the smoked wings and dry rub ribs. The wings were crispy and juicy, but not worth it for $15 for 7 wings. The ribs were on the dry side. The sweet potato fries on the side were fantastic, nice and crispy but not overcooked.

Good service, pizza was ok

Everything on the menu aside from the pizza is great. Tried the pizza several times on different occasions and very disappointing for as much as they charge for it.

It was good, but not great! The proportions are large and the food was tasty. I had boneless wings and one was too hard to eat. But the sauce was great. Their fries are fantastic! Service was great! Weird layout to restaurant. All in all, I'd try again.

Food is great and portions are huge! Friendly staff.

Ordered the caesar salad, which was good, but was a little off-put by the grilled chicken breast on top which seemed to be smoked chicken dark meat. Overall the salad was okay. My group as a whole had mixed reviews on the food, this was during lunchtime. Seems like a cool bar and beer prices are very fair. Price was $19.

I really like this place. It's a clean, comfortable setting with a huge bar. Service was excellent, and the staff worked as a happy team. I had fried mushrooms, homemade broccoli cheddar soup, and a huge pork tenderloin sandwich. It was all freshly prepared and tasted so good.

They have the best pork steak I've ever had, hands down, the service was super friendly, the the price was reasonable. The tables were sticky like they had been laquered too heavily - I can fix that, feel free to reach out.

The burger I got was good and the service was great. The candied sweet potatoes are divine. I ordered fries but the staff member agreed to grab me a few of them and they are divine. It was also my first time trying toasted ravioli!

Café Telegraph unfortunately fell short on multiple fronts during my visit. The customer service was, at best, subpar. I walked in and waited to be seated without any acknowledgment from the staff, while others who arrived after me were seated promptly. This lack of attention is disappointing and sets a negative tone from the start.

Moreover, the atmosphere felt more like a bar than a café, which was not what I expected. The bitter and foul smell of smoke permeated the space, making it uncomfortable to stay. Additionally, the poor lighting throughout the establishment added to the overall dreariness.
