A wonderful unique place to have lunch Of course, it’s locally owned! Other fun businesses on main street. Great service, helpful staff, and tasty food! Don’t miss the wonderful candy store across the street!!

1st time there, unfortunately we weren’t very hungry, so we shared. Ordered a reuben sandwich & onion rings. Both were amazing. Pretty sure they make their own sauces for the sandwich & onion rings. Got a piece of0cake to bring home for dessert, but haven’t had it yet. Looking forward to going back, but next time we’ll bring back up. Oh, our server was also spot on!

A great Mom and Pop Cafe nestled in the heart of downtown Mt. Vernon. Jim got the Hand rolled tenderloin and I ordered the build a burger with bacon and cheese. The tomato was fresh and cut to a good size. The burger hit my nose when I took my first bite. Both of us had a side order of fries. We did the curbside pick up. Portions are good size. Fries appeared to be hand cut. Cozy setting inside. I would recommend checking this place out. If you take out, make sure you ask for napkins though. You will need them if you ordered sandwiches.

Best veggie burger in Iowa. Seriously. It’s house made and cooked to be just slightly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. I had it in the “burger of the month” style, topped with fig and pear chutney and goat cheese, and I just about died of happiness. We also got a special, spinach and artichoke chutney, which was topped with walnut gorgonzola cream. Amazing. I’m seriously considering coming back tomorrow to have the same burger again for lunch!

Get the ribs and eggs for brunch… sorry I almost couldn’t stop to take a pic! Tangy bbq sauce moderate smoke and the most tender and moist! The tasty homefrie were gobbled up before the ketchup bottle was even thought of… I will be back!
