Delicious malts and the food was fantastic (my kids had a hot dog and the hobo croissant breakfast sandwich and we had the chili and Reuben). Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely come back!
I recently visited this amazing cafe that not only had great food, but also used biodegradable straws! This is such an important initiative towards protecting the environment and reducing plastic waste. The cafe had a great atmosphere and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about their products. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a delicious bite to eat and a sustainable place to enjoy a drink. Kudos to the cafe for their commitment to the environment!
Stopped here for lunch on our way home from Mendocino and so glad we found this little gem. The sandwiches, hot dogs, and lemon mascarpone cake (get the cake if you see it on their specials!) were delicious but what really stands out is the super friendly staff. All the ladies who sat, served, and kept us watered on a hot day were accommodating and made us feel right at home. Just note that they are cash (or check) only!
Plus 1 ⭐️ for 🐶 dog friendly patio service‼️ Vast selection of menu items and great service. Location just off Main Street draws locals and travelers alike.
Great spot for sandwiches I've been there a few times, each time I got something different and have never been disappointed. My last sandwich there was the meatball one and it was freaking amazing. Definitely a nice little hidden gem.
Loved Loose Caboose, Willits restaurant. Food delicious. Atmosphere hip, funky, cozy, upbeat. Service exceptional attentive and friendly. Made everyone feel at home. Thumbs way up!!
On a road trip, visiting from Australia. Stopped in for lunch, and greeted by a customer on the way in stating "this is the best place for eatin". He was 100% right. Best milkshake I have ever had! The sandwich was fresh, huge and full of flavour. Don't skip this place - huge selection of food and friendly, fast service.
Might be the best sandwiches we have ever had. Bread was crunchy without messing up the roof of your mouth, specialty mayos made the extra difference and the server was SO nice. This place is 10/10.
We had a good experience. Our kids loved the food! We had some custom made sandwiches and salads! It was Monday, so it wasn’t too busy and we had no issues finding parking.
Best lunch spot in town!!! The ultimate guilty pleasure. The spicy ranch is unlike any other and the staff is the definition of small town feels. The owners are amazing and are always giving back to the community.
