Always love the food from here! They give a great amount, and everything is fresh. Flavor is great. We had one bad experience, and they went above and beyond to fix it! They really care about their customers! Glad to live so close to such a good restaurant!

“First visit after many recommendations. Overall everything was great. Our waitress Lisa was excellent! She was pleasant, attentive and an asset to your restaurant. The only downside was the iceberg lettuce, carrot and cabbage mix. This bagged mix never tastes fresh and always has a distinctively packaged flavor. The menu says “mixed greens”. The salad would have been much better if it had actually consisted of a fresh mix. That being said, we will dine here again!”

The Anthracite Cafe was a mixed experience. The bar/restaurant was mostly crowded at 7 p.m. on a Friday night, and quite noisy. My party of two had reservations, and was seated promptly once we entered. The server was a pleasant woman, and a large party next to us had a different server who was very attentive to their requests. Although my girlfriend and I ordered two cheeseburgers, we had to wait approximately 45 minutes before our meals arrived. Maybe there wasn't enough staff, maybe the establishment was very busy, but I found the wait to be a bit excessive. The Middleswarth Cheeseburger -- featuring the famed local barbeque Middleswarth potato chips -- will appeal to the local clientele, as the burger was supposed to be stuffed with Middleswarth crumbles, along with cheddar cheese. However, that didn't prove to be true, as there was no cheese oozing from the burger, and the crumbles rested on top of a slice of cheese. The burger also wasn't topped with bacon as described. I chose not to bring this to the attention of my server because I didn't want to prolong my hunger by waiting for what could have been a long time. Instead of the toasted brioche roll, I opted for a pretzel roll, which was an additional 99 cents and worth the extra money. Although the chip crumbles provided additional flavor, there was no balance. Sometimes I could discern the barbeque flavor, but mostly not. What was supposed to be a sandwich designed to invite the local customer proved flat overall. The Texas Burger on the other hand, was very good. That bacon on it was tasty, and the barbeque sauce was tangy and flavorful. This was also served on a fresh pretzel roll. The steak fries were very good, and I liked the fact that they weren't salty, allowing me to add salt to my liking. The menu boasted a wide assortment of wings, which I will definitely try should I visit again. I would try and go a bit earlier so as to avoid the wait time. The establishment does add an additional 3.99% charge if you use a debit/card. This isn't a hidden charge, but clearly posted as one walks in.

Excellent service, attentiveness and food! The burgers are really superb, the pulled pork was to die for, the chili, the stuffed rigatoni, the handmade breaded mozzarella... a definite place to visit. 🦋
