Great mom & pop restaurant! Super friendly staff and delicious meal! Decor, tables & chairs are dated but it’s part of the charm! Ribeye was done perfectly as was the Sirloin tips! Manhattans were excellent!

Wife and I stopped her for lunch. We have never been here before and we loved it. Home style cooking. Food was fantastic and the services was awesome. Busy the whole time but the waitress was still helpful. And we will be coming back for sure. I want to take my kids here for dinner

A friend recommended this spot, so we stopped in the day after Christmas—right after I picked up my hearing aids.
The service staff’s energy was infectious and fun, and they kept up with consistent table checks. The atmosphere felt like a cozy, antique-style pub—comfortable and interesting to be in.
The food was delicious across the board. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

I don’t normally leave reviews but we ate here last night on a girls trip and it was AMAZING. My grandma said her favorite part of our trip was the service we got from our amazing waitress. The burgers were so big my face could fit behind it and it was delicious. The soup smelled fantastic, the music was great, the place was nicely decorated, the waitress made us laugh plus had great service, and overall it was a great end to our trip. Definitely recommend!

I highly recommend this establishment. The culinary offerings and service are exceptional, however, it is advisable to plan your visit during off-peak hours such as lunch or dinner. This is due to the fact that these times are particularly busy. However, if you have the luxury of time, it is certainly worth the wait. The space can feel somewhat confined at times. They do provide a bar, but due to its small size, it is challenging to secure a seat during peak periods. Nonetheless, I believe that it is still worth the effort.

Stopped in for breakfast to go Sunday morning on my way back to MN. I’m so happy I found this gem of a place! I ordered a breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito. Both were delish. Home-cooked and fresh ingredients. Love it. Get the bloody with Spotted Cow chaser and enjoy the vibes. I’ll be back with my girly friends when it gets warmer!

Nancy was our server 9n 2/13/2026 and she was friendly, informative, funny, bubbly. Loved the energy of everyone working. The woman who bussed tables and bartender were hilarious and fun to banter with. Quaint little place. Old decor. The food was good and reasonable (,tbone for 30$), we had 2 entrees, 2 deserts, 2 apps, and 2 specialty drinks for under 100$ before tip. It was a great time there! Will be back!

The French onion soup was delicious! I thought the broth was some of the best I’ve ever had and I’m a soup snob. The waitress was very nice, friendly and clearly experienced.
I also got the Cod sandwich with fries which was underwhelming. I never experienced fried food with so little flavor and seasoning. It looked perfect but tasted like nothing. Also, I’m also a ranch snob and their ranch was not good at all. It was the tangy sour kind. I also hate to add that I didn’t like the tartar sauce either.
I could just be comparing their meal to Flipside whose fish, fries, ranch and tartar sauce are the best every time.
I will go again for the soup and possibly try a burger that many people are saying are good.

The reviews lived up to the hype. I am here for the state track meet and I walked here from campus to see what the hype was about and let me tell you, this place is legit. Please visit if you are in town, you will not be disappointed. Good job Hungry Peddler’s, you all are doing good.

Our server was sweet and considerate, food was so delicious (ESPECIALLY THE FRENCH ONION SOUP) and the atmosphere is vintage and classy.
The fries are super crispy and perfect and the food isn’t too expensive. Will definitely return!
