Amazing food with great flavor, so many choices hard to pick. I got the steak bowl and it did not disappoint. My wife got the BBQ chicken Hawaiian wrap and loved it. I would definitely come back.
I Highly recommend this place! Fresh-made, delicious food. Staff is friendly and attentive. We had the Classic Italian sandwich, and the Pot Roast Patty Melt. I also had a delicious chicken dumpling soup with big chunks of breast meat and a really yummy broth (which I ate before getting a picture of it) The caesar salad on the table next to ours looked amazing too. We’ll have to come back so we can try some of the other stuff they offer. We live 2 hours away (UP), and said ”This place is worth the drive!”
Oh. My. Gosh!!! Super yummy fresh food with fantastic staff!! My new favorite lunch spot for sure! If you haven’t been here yet you are missing out ...
Loved this place. Maybe, 7-10 tables, but clean and well kept. Best of all was the varied Menu options, really good food, and terrific service. Amy and Lori double-tag team each other to answer questions, to make sure you have everything you want and need, and to take your orders, getting it to your table while hot. The Owner, Jaime, has a creative mind with the food and the restaurant set up. You three are gems! Our initial orders were the Pot Roast Patty Melt Panini with Fries and Pickle Spear. I had the Figgy Grilled Cheese Panini (Brie, Fig Jam, Apple Slices on Sourdough Bread. Both were outstanding and filling (leftover takeouts for dinner or breakfast.) My Stuffed Pepper Soup was so good, that I ordered a quart to go for 3 more meals. The only negative about our experience there was when my sister ordered the Beef Teriyaki Power Bowl as her Takeout. They offer it as a choice Beef or Chicken. She was really disappointed at Dinner to discover she received the Chicken version (which was good, but absolutely not what she wanted.) We did laugh because another Gaylord restaurant did exactly the same thing to her order 2 months earlier on our trip there. I wish I could have docked the review a partial star because mistakes happen, but that cook was careless. This restaurant closes at 3:00 after lunch, so corrections weren't possible. Not being diligent on takeout orders can hurt a restaurant's rating. We loved Food n Stuff enough to keep the full 5-Star rating, despite the one mistake (and shorter hours. We would have come back for Dinner! ) I'm ready to return to try at least 4 other items on their menu.
The food should get 6 stars for that price. The breakfast pizza is delicious. Soft fluffy whole wheat from scratch crust. The bacon is smokey quality bacon and cooked perfectly with chunks in every bite. The cheesy goodness is everything. I want to try everything now. ITS CLEAN. Staff is friendly, fast, clean, pretty, and happy
They have a really big menu, I got a power bowl for lunch and it was good. I'm going to go back a couple more times to try some different things. It was highly recommend to me.
This is a great hidden gym just off the main stretch. My friend and I first ordered the cheese curds and they were DELICIOUS! We both got a panini, the grilled mozzarella and the Figgie grilled cheese, One was french fries and one was potato salad, and split to try them. Everything was fresh and absolutely amazing! We got two cookies to go and you guessed it, also delicious! Plus they have an awesome deal all you can eat soup and salad for 10 1-3 M-F. That will be our next lunch we try. Definitely recommend!
The service was fantastic. The breakfast pizza was big enough for my wife and I to have breakfast and take the other half back to the hotel for breakfast the next morning. Corned beef hash was delicious as well, and the hash actually made a surprisingly good topping for the pizza at the table. I wish they had longer hours or were just open on the weekends, but no complaints. The owner, Jamie, was super friendly and helpful, especially finding other local places to get food on the weekend when they’re closed. We will be back any time we’re in Gaylord.
