The Li'l Bar

Decided to try out a local diner, and found this place. Took my family, and got to enjoy a good breakfast! I would say this is a solid mid-level breakfast spot. If you're looking for super fancy attention to menu details, or homemade specialty items or dressings, this is not THAT place. If you just want a good cup of coffee and a tasty meal that's not gonna break your pockets, they got you. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Bacon Apple Fritter Sandwich(which is exactly what it sounds like chicken, bacon, and cheese between two slices of a fried apple fritter), my family ordered the chicken fried steak, and also the two and two breakfast, and a cinnamon roll. I got coffee as well. The coffee was decent, not the strongest, but not super weak. It was a little bit of a wait between ordering our food, and getting everything; however, I noticed that most of our wait staff was older folk. I don't know if that's always the case, but noticing that, I decided to be very patient. (And if that is the usual staff, and you complain about the delay, shame on you. Respect your elders.)The food was delicious! I was a little leery of the apple fritter sandwich, but it was crispy and bacon cheesy with just a touch of sweet from the fritter bread! Really effin good, and I highly recommend trying it if you like sweet hot crispy flavor! The regular breakfast items were well done and pretty standard, bacon, eggs, etc. Nothing exceptional, but nothing terrible. The country fried steak was crispy and good, and covered in a good amount of gravy. We had American fries (the chunky fried potato bites type), and they could have been a lil bit crispier, but they were cooked well and yummy. Oh, yeah, we had french toast too, and that was buttered and syrupy and good too! Nothing exceptional (like compote, or homemade syrup, or anything like that) but a solid good french toast! Overall, I feel like this was a decent local breakfast joint with solid food. The prices weren't crazy, and the food was decent. The staff was nice enough, and the place was Minnesotan Cabin style decor(Cabin-chic, if you will), and clean. If you want a good mid level breakfast experience, I recommend it! I have plans to go back and try the Bagel Burger, and perhaps the bacon and cream cheese omelette! Enjoy!❤️

It was okay. I got a reuben but they didn't inform us they were out of pumpernickel or sourdough bread so automatically subbed it for a whole wheat which, just was okay. I would of got something else had they told me. The fries were okay. They also charge 4% for card usage, but they don't tell you nor is there anywhere stating so, at least that I saw. Honestly it was okay, but not good enough for us to rush back to.

Actually, after today's attempt to eat there, 1 star is too much. Arrived for breakfast for 2 about 10:30, got a table with waters and menus.....and nothing else for 30 minutes. No eye contact from the wait staff, one actually held up her palm to us as she was walking by, and nothing. We like to try to support the local shops, but this was ridiculous. Tried to wave down a server, but was ignored. Great food from past experiences, but will never go back there again.
