The BEST local pizza!! Chicago Style deep dish. It DOES take about 45 minutes to get your pizza after you order, so don't go when you're already starving!

Delicious brunch and cozy atmosphere. They seat you at picnic style tables with other guests seated at the same area, so if you're looking for private or romantic setting, go somewhere else ;)

Best weekend brunch! My go-to location ANY time guests are in town for the weekend. The owner is SUPER sweet and always takes time to talk to her guests. She also has a made-to-order gourmet omelette bar. Set up in an old dairy farm, there are multiple rooms to dine in, with a huge open room full of food. Definitely worth the drive, and the somewhat steep price.
