“100% recommend novellas! We just recently celebrated our wedding there and we had the best. Time. They made the entire wedding process so easy for us, with menu items, decor, timelines, everything. You name it, they did it! Bryce, Chloe, and their entire team were so helpful and kind. So willing to step up to plate, and the food was DELICIOUS. Super affordable and convenient as well, and they answered any and every question they had. Our special day was made even better thanks to the wonderful work of their staff and the beautiful scenery of their venue. My guests and family were overjoyed and welcomed happily by all of them, and I’m incredibly grateful! This place has become like family, and we’ll be back as often as we can now because of their professionalism and kind hospitality! Thank you guys!!“

“Not from this area at all but was strolling thought town trying to find a bagel store and ended up here. Saw no bagels so I settled for a sandwhich and got the AE PHI. Let me just say that first bite was marvelous. While we waited we pondered over the pickles and pickled area, and folded to buy their pickles and pickled cauliflower once we saw their first place ribbon for a pickle festival or something like that. Both were great and 10/10. The crunch on my hoagie, the pesto, WOW. As I said I’m not from this area but I would make a hike back up here just to come to franks fresh. 10/10“

Starbucks has nothing on Mudd except hype. You want good ☕️ and reasonably priced selection of quality products when you need a break Mudd Puddle is worth a drop in.“

“We came to Main Street Bistro for breakfast on the recommendation of our Airbnb host.

The menu is creative. My boyfriend's eyes stopped two items down the menu at Protein X. I kept going and asked if he was getting Kiki's breakfast stir fry and he changed his order. He rated it 9/10.

Since Mr eyes continued to wander, the citrus walnut bread of the Zoo Canoe was intriguing. I'm a picky eater. I've never put tomatoes in my eggs or tried hollandaise sauce but my daring spirit prevailed and I'm glad it did. Breakfast was DELICIOUS. I too would give mine 9/10. (Nothing is perfect although a well done version of my favorite ANYTHING may get 10/10.)

It was Saturday morning and busy. Our server Tim was good even though it was busy. Would definitely come back if we were in the area.“
