I love this place. Good food and the servers are perfect. The owner is cool af. Lots of vegan and gluten free options.

Great food, great service. We had a short 15min wait, so we walked around the ped mall and they texted us when our table was ready. There are lots of benches right outside too so sitting and waiting was also an option. There were both basic and fancier food choices, and several items labeled as gluten free, or vegetarian. They also offer egg substitute to make dishes vegan. I'd highly recommend the Lodger Special. The biscuits and gravy was also good and generous with the amount of sausage, which is always a plus. The sizes are also quite large, so we had leftovers. I'd love to come back and try a house baked cinnamon roll, but we were stuffed. We'll definitely be back!
