Guestbook & Reviews

Experience Through Their Eyes

Lunch was delicious and our bartender/ waiter was great. Always there when we needed something, while still taking care of all the other tables. This was my first time there and their broasted chicken was amazing.

Been to every place in town. Hands down, the best breakfast in CB. Hungover or not, strongly recommend the Hangover Platter! The best eggs, cooked to perfection. Amazing sausage patty, ham, and bacon. Only I can make biscuits this good! And the sausage gravy? Perfectly seasoned! Shredded hashbrowns to boot. Unbelievable! Go try it for yourself! You won’t be disappointed. Great service as well.

It is a very small place and we were lucky that a table was clearing as we were arriving. They were pretty busy on a Friday night so we waited a bit for our food but I would have waited another 45 minutes if I had to for that damn Broasted chicken. Perfect crisp. Definitely a must try, thank me later. It is worth the wait and the staff is friendly and the drinks are strong. I highly recommend this hidden gem. My wing-snob wife gave their wings double thumbs up (equal to 6 stars) They have their chicken game on lock. Second visit was just as excellent as the first. Got a table right away and food was hot and delicious. Locals are kind and welcoming. The Broasted Chicken is killer!!!

Never even knew they had food. I've driven by many times and found out about their chicken. I can't believe what I was missing. Nice little place.

Staff was very friendly, creating space for us to sit and eat. Food was great, drinks were cheap, and the people were friendly. Great spot for people out on a bike ride to stop and eat. Breakfast here is also top notch. Easily accessible from trails or Ave G. Love Third Base!
