“I’ll be honest — walking into Bad Garden Kitchen as a lifelong meat eater, I fully expected a lot of hype and a lot of lettuce. What I didn’t expect was to leave already planning my next visit and actually miss meat less than usual! From the second I walked in, the atmosphere made me feel welcomed rather than preached at. The staff were knowledgeable and passionate, but not pushy, guiding me through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. What impressed me most wasn’t just the flavor, which was outstanding, but how none of the dishes felt like they were missing something — they stood on their own. Every bite was thoughtful and intentional. I left feeling full, happy, and honestly a bit surprised at how much I had enjoyed a vegan meal. If you’re a skeptic like me, go with an open mind — you might just find your new favorite restaurant.“

“I’ve had their cheesecake before and just picked up the love flight that I pre-ordered for Valentine’s Day, but this review isn’t about that. I was running late and almost forgot that I purchased the love flight which included four flavors of cheesecake and Urban farmhouse called me to make sure I would be able to pick my order up on time. I appreciate this type of customer service immensely, without that phone call I likely would have forgot about my order and I would have missed out on four lovely desserts to share with my partner. Not only do they have amazing cheesecake but they also have amazing customer service and those are two things will keep me as return customer!“

“Amazing!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re anywhere near Leola, do yourself a favor and stop into Gracie’s On West Main. From the moment we walked in, the staff stood out. You can tell they’re incredibly well-trained—not in a stiff, scripted way, but in a way that feels genuine. They welcomed us as if they knew us for years and were eager to share the story behind the café, which made the whole experience feel personal instead of transactional. The food absolutely delivered. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And the bacon? Honestly, next level. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor—easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere. This is one of those places that gets it right across the board: great people, great atmosphere, and food that actually lives up to the hype. We’ll definitely be back when we are in the area!“

“The atmosphere was pleasant and service was friendly and attentive. We really liked the natural lighting due to the big windows where we were seated. The place was clean and inviting. The food was so delicious, I had the Owl's Nest burger & the dessert we tried was amazing too.(Strawberry Angel Crunch cake) Even though they're only open to the public for lunch Monday-Friday it gives us a chance to try more of their outstanding meals/desserts.“
