“Great location, great atmosphere. I’ve visited EC several times and have always wanted to come. On a weekend morning, there weren’t many servers, and although the restaurant wasn’t crowded, it still felt quite busy. I ordered brunch and a Margherita pizza. The food was delicious, but there were a few flaws, like the eggs Benedict being overcooked, with no runny yolk at all.“

“My mornings as of late have been spent reflecting on all I'm grateful for. Not due to any holiday traditions or faith or that, but just to simply go over the details and experience in microdosing all the new people Ive met, the new places Im walking, the new days Im waking up to sunshine and a smile. That time has been spent at this AWESOME (not so little) WONDERFULLY FRIENDLY and DELICIOUS Cafe for Breakfast and Brunch called The Nucleus ⚛ Their staff is unbelieveably polite, considerate and lgbtqii+ inclusive all around! This has been a place Ive only started in but I already feel its now a regular haunt and a spot if you're in the area cant be missed if you want to get up on the right piece of toast~ [ALSO: Vegan Options!!] Take a morning and treat yo self. Go to: The Nucleus⚛ Eau Claire, WI.“

“Thank you to the amazing staff at Culver’s tonight!!! I went through the drive-up and ordered my food and realized I didn’t have my wallet. I asked the employee at the window if he could put my order on hold while I ran home and got it. He told me “No”. He grabbed one of his coworkers and they told me not to worry about it. I offered to call with my card when I got home or to come pay for it tomorrow and they told me they were taking care of it! Being the crazy world it is right now, they were wearing masks so I couldn’t see their faces to remember who they were... but I saw the kindness they showed me and that is something I will remember! 🥰“

“This morning June 23r, I ordered 8croissants with some having hash browns and some with pancakes. After I am about to hang up the phone, the lady kindly asked for 15 min, that shocked me because that is FAST for 8 meals!! I get there not even 5minutes after I hang up because I was already on the way bringing the food to my coworkers at our place of work, within 5 minutes or less already they were almost done with my order on top of being in the middle of breakfast rush. Extremely fast service from these guys, and we are very grateful. We will always be coming back for more. 11/10 for service!!!!! On top of HUGE portions, our pancakes barely fit in a box that was atleast a 1ftx1ft, on top of loaded hashbrowns. Great portions, extremely friendly staff, incredible service, and faster than any other restaurant I’ve been to.“

“I've never had a good experience at this restaurant. haven't been here in years. I decided to swing in for a quick salad after my workout. I got there at 12:50 PM on a Tuesday. I was able to order right away, I didn't order a beverage. At 1:00 the couple behind me sat down, at 1:05 the couple behind me ordered. At 1:10 the couple behind me got their order(S) I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and was solo. I had other oligations going on I had to get to, I figured it wouldn't take that long for a chicken salad. As I got to the festival foods doors, The manager came out of famous Dave's and yelled, "Don't you want your food?" 😂 ....Yeah I sure did but not 40 minutes later sorry not sorry. Thanks for nothing!“

“I can't rave enough about the bangers we got! Stupid good! Good drinks, great setup with tiki bar and batting cages, v-ball courts and baseball field, pull tabs and slots... Service was on point. The only reason I didn't 5 star the "atmosphere" was it was too hot inside, ac wasn't on or what and we were sweating. Also it must've been karaoke day cause the drunk dude was singing every song!! Funny!!
5/5 100% would recommend and will stop again if I'm close! Oh yeah... exceptional value!! $12 super sandwich and super reasonable cocktails!!

Parking: Parking shouldn't be a problem here. Plenty!
