We had the burger, it was delicious! However your decore is very depressing and I had a hard time being happy to be in your restraunt.

Once of the best burgers in a town full of good eats.
Funky relaxed digs.
This time an excellent ribeye with grilled shrimp, and fish tacos. We missed the peach cobbler because it had sold out so quickly.

DUDE! I was worried when we walked in…. Not another customer in sight….but music was GREAT food was GREAT PLACE IS ABSOLUTELY retro and cool 😎 one of the waitresses told me Luke painted a lot of it himself. Super cool! Love supporting local spots like this.

Thought we’d try a local place. Waited to be seated, hostess pointed to table and said be right over. 10 minutes go by with no acknowledgment. In fact another couple came in, were seated and served drinks before we were even spoken to. 2 waitresses for 11 people in the whole place should have been enough. A couple tips for Luke the owner. The food was pretty good. We had the Cajun chicken fettuccini and the mahi mahi. The presentation on the mahi was lacking. Came in a bowl with gravy on top, no garnishments. My side a baked potato came 10 min later after almost done with dish. Not sure why a place that charges $40 a plate serves you foam cups for your drinks when they have china plates. Waitress offered no bread, crackers nor did she recommend any appetizers etc. during our long wait. For the prices this place is asking, you need to do much better on the service side. 1 new waitress running around apologizing to everyone and 1 old one who didn’t seem to care about anyone doesn’t cut it. This place could be a great find but not without some small changes. Greet customers, people are ok waiting for good food but not if they feel ignored. Offer some small hold over foods, bread or pita slices will keep people busy while their food is being prepped. Standardize the plate-ware. If you want to charge $40+ a plate, maybe have some glassware. Good luck in your endeavors.

I am very disappointed. Last week I called to get reservations. I was told due to short staffing reservations are not accepted. Tonight I go there and the hostess/waitress at the checkout counter tells me I can have that table. Pointing with her finger. I ask which table and again she points with her finger. As my husband and I are getting ready to order, we are told they are out of ALOT of things including steaks, prime rib, salmon, and fries because everything is made fresh. We proceed to order and also order a “to go” cheeseburger. Once we are finished with our meal I ask for the cheeseburger. She proceeded to tell me they are also out of hamburger and she is just the “middle” person. As I am exiting she proceeded to apologize and hopes we will return, just don’t pick a Saturday. I told her how disappointed I was, we had been there before and no worries….we will not return!

Initially appears as a local hole-in-the-wall joint. Do not be mistaken. This beauty is actually top dining fare in a retro savvy style. Take your whole appetite for palate pleasure. 5-star quality in a relaxed atmosphere where gathering is most relaxing and enjoyable.

Vegetarian options: Knowledge chef will create the best.

Dietary restrictions: Menu is clearly stated and everything is prepared fresh so changes are easily incorporated

Parking: Small area narrow parking lot. More parking available in back. Just watch when backing and mind your manners.

The food is off the chain! Full of flavor. Fresh vegetables. Really nice little restaurant with big house flavors. Luke's is always on point. It is a Must Stop for the ones never been there. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

The service was great, and it's a cute little cafe. The food itself was mediocre at best, especially given the price point ($20 for one burger to go).

The food is delicious but the service is super spotty and the building could use an update bigtime. For the amount of money for each dish the decor/cleanliness should match.
