“Rustic Kitchen truly lives up to its name with a warm, inviting atmosphere and food that feels like it was made with real care. The standout of the meal was without a doubt the chicken parm—absolutely outstanding. The chicken was perfectly breaded, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and topped with rich, flavorful sauce and just the right amount of melted cheese. Every bite was packed with comfort and authentic flavor.
The portions were generous, the presentation was great, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. Rustic Kitchen is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re a fan of chicken parm, this is a must-order and easily one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend! 🍽️🔥“

“A huge thank you to Donna and her staff for another great event for us! This is the third time we’ve used Center City Cafe to cater a party and she did another amazing job. Everyone raved about the “build your own taco bar.” My favorite part was that Donna came to set up for us (every time), which took so much pressure off of us the morning of our event so we could concentrate on other things.“

“I was at Millers in W-B on 4/27, which was also the night of a concert up the street. It was packed. The staff at the front door were SO NICE! We waited at least 30 min at the bar with no eye contact from either bartender. Then, a man who was I’m assuming a server jumped back and served us. We were so thankful and he was also, SO NICE!!!! We sat at the bar for one hour until our table was ready. I used to bartend, so I get it that you can be busy, but at least acknowledge the customers. I also observed arguing between staff and then apologies. I’m assuming, bc it was busy and the main bar tender was stressed, but take that behind the scenes. When we finally got to our table we had Zachary as our server who was PHENOMENAL!!!!! He knew we had a show to get to. He was attentive, friendly, funny and the BEST! I would probably go back, bc the French dip was delicious, but not on a busy night.“
