River Road Park is a picturesque green space located near downtown Boerne, running alongside the tranquil Cibolo Creek. Visitors can enjoy various activities such as picnicking, fishing, and observing the local wildlife including geese and turtles. The park serves as a trailhead for the scenic Cibolo Trail, which extends beyond the park and winds its way around Boerne following the Cibolo Creek to Main Plaza Park.
Great place to walk off your lunch or dinner. Mellow walk, friendly people, lovely scenery, we really enjoyed our walk. We saw lots of dog walkers, ducks, geese and squirrels.

Nice park along the river. Needs a small play area for kids south of the bridge. Loved the ducks, turtles, and occasional surprise like the huge catapillar in photos. 3 snakes in between rocks and next to sidewalk did scare the ladies. They were jyst on the north side of the bridge and possibly water moccasins. I can see this place being magical with lights all over during the holidays.

I loved this park so much!!! The scenery was so beautiful, the Egyptian geese and ducks and turtles were so fun to look at. It is very clean and serene and felt like a dream! The people of Boerne are lucky to have this amazing park.

Never gets dull coming here with the family. The ducks, turtles and other animals who call the river their home are always visible and line the banks or shallow water. Relaxing morning or afternoon strolls and a good place to mentally reset! Adjacent restaurants and parking are readily available.

I have lived here over 30 years and this river has been an amazing respite and source of peace in me, my wife and my kid’s lives. It has been completely upgraded and more paths have been added and it makes living in a small town such a joy. Good job @city of Boerne.

Restaurant
The Dienger Trading Co. is a charming vintage bistro housed in a 19th-century building, featuring a quirky atmosphere and serving breakfast, sandwiches, beer, and wine. The cafe occupies the ground floor of the historic building and offers a variety of country specialties such as chicken-fried steak Benedict and classic pancakes. Additionally, they have a full bakery with an array of pastries and muffins sourced from local vendors.
My son-in-law and daughter took me to The Dienger Trading Co. in Boerne, Texas and we had great meals there! The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the selection of dishes that were offered was unique, and some of the selections were uniquely "Texan." All of the food was either cooked or baked to perfection, and I and my family thoroughly enjoyed our meals! The owner was present, and he went from table-to-table warmly greeting his guests and fellow diners ensuring that we all had a wonderful dining experience at his restaurant. I was particularly impressed by the genuinely courteous Texan hospitality that he displayed, and felt at ease as if I was dining at home among friends. Thank you to all of the kitchen and wait staff, and the owner for giving us all a truly memorable dining experience. We'll definitely return for more!

Great restaurant with delicious breakfast food. Big portions. Good coffee and cappucino. Good service. The place itself is well designed with large windows and an older style decor that gives it a vintage vibe. There’s a large boutique store connected to the restaurant which my wife absolutely loved. They sell women’s clothes, baby clothes, stationary, candles, cups, kitchen items, and more. Good selection of quality items you won’t find in the big chain dept stores, and everything we saw was fairly priced. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Boerne.
Mike — Google review
I will start with the positives. Atmosphere with the history is just awesome. The little shop is too cute with a lot of Boutique stuff. All the kids clothes are adorable and the adult clothes are sophisticated. The food was amazing however the service could have used a little extra touch. I sat there with no water two times while the server walked by me. I don't feel like I should tip a server for only taking my order. He did check on me once after I got my food but somebody else delivered it. I did however tip him $2 because I didn't want to be completely rude, but I don't think he deserved it and I hope it went to the hostess who did more for me and the food deliverer and cook.

Super cute restaurant and boutique. Our server Brooke was great, no food was forgotten and it came out really fast considering all the people. We got vanilla custard French toast which was 10/10 and so was the biscuit. For something savory I would recommend the eggs Benedict. The restaurant is so pretty and all the staff is really nice. The owner is always here talking to the customers which is super cute. We love it here!

I regret not taking a picture of my food! The Avacado toast was amazing. Their biscuit and gravy are great, especially due to their house brand sausage. The breakfast potatoes were the best I have ever had. Mimosas were well priced and delicious. All in all, for a whole bottle and 2 people to eat some amazing food, I feel the 64 dollar price tag was pretty amazing. The staff all around were pleasant, happy, and helpful. The owner is a good man. He opens his place to host a veteran breakfast meeting and offers a military discount. The shop is nice and offers a diverse selection. Mostly its for women and children, but they do have some literature, kitchen items and some cool toys. All very uniqe from local artist.

Atmosphere was nice, coffee was good and adult food was good. Service was slow even though we got there at 8:40 on a Sunday with no line. Biggest reason for low stars is kids meal. The kids food is a literal joke. A spoonful of eggs and one slice of bacon for $12? The plate was EMPTY. THANKFULLY I got my kids pancakes because even they looked at their plate and said “this is it?” Age 4&7 Add $3 and get them an adult meal because it actually comes with potatoes at least. Even the thought of 3 mini pancakes with no fruit cup or anything seems like a joke of a meal for kids. You must not have kids! Also no coloring or any kids activities while you wait. Not kid friendly here.. on top of that we never got asked for sauces or checked on, but we did get asked if we wanted our check before our food even got to our table! Very odd and I said no, we haven’t even eaten yet. Never got a receipt, have no idea what we got charged for. Wish it was a better first experience, I really wanted to love this place.

My bride and I decided to celebrate Veterans Day with breakfast at the Dienger. The greeter was excellent and informed us that it would be a few minutes wait. No problem. She seated us 10 minutes later and provided us with water. I believe the statement was, "your server will be with you. Our server never showed up. I was in uniform, kind of hard to miss this guy in a Navy Khaki uniform. No service, no acknowledgement - I'll be with you shortly; nothing. Nothing. Serving staff going back and forth and not even a nod. I wasn't looking for a free meal or coffee, I just wanted to have a nice breakfast on Veterans Day. Absolute failure.

Nestled just a mile northwest of downtown Boerne, Boerne City Lake Park is a delightful 200-acre oasis perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike. This scenic park boasts a variety of activities to enjoy, from swimming and fishing to kayaking on the expansive lake. Visitors can unwind at the picnic areas or take advantage of the BBQ facilities while soaking up the sun.

As a resident I am able to enter at no cost. Small fee for non residents. It is always well maintained and such a peaceful and beautiful lake. It is surrounded by a walking path and has plenty of parking.

Great lake. Water is cold and fresh most of the year and is cleaner than some of the bigger lakes like canyon and Travis. Because of the size to motorized boats are allowed so it's great for kayaking, paddle boards and swimming recreationally.. I'll be going back to fish as I saw bait fish. Great place.

Please clean the park up! Large areas of the park have been made unusable thanks to people who don’t follow the rules. Leaving trash, including glass,! fishing gear, styrofoam ice chests left behind…. My dog cut her foot so bad on glass beer bottle, it sliced through a tendon required a ER visit and several stitches. I wish they would implement a refund fee for returning with full trash bags they have this system in place on the drive on beaches in South Padre and I feel it would really help the issues here. It’s such a shame how this park has degraded especially for such a high entry fee.

Brewpub
Cibolo Creek Brewing Co. is a family-owned brewpub located in Downtown Boerne, named after the nearby creek and park. They offer craft brews that change with the seasons, from light and refreshing beers in the summer to dark strong brews in the winter. The brewery uses seasonal fruits for their small-batch brews, resulting in a playful variety of flavors throughout the year.
Had the BEST burger I've EVER had here called the CCB flat burger on a pretzel bun. We also tried the Farmhouse salad which was really good. The flavors were on point with all the food we tried. Definitely come check this restaurant out. They have options for indoor and outdoor seating and a great atmosphere.

One of my favorite spots in Boerne! Cibolo Creek Brewing Co. never disappoints. The food is absolutely delicious — no matter what you order, it’s always flavorful and satisfying. Their craft beer is also excellent, with great variety and taste. Even when the place is packed (which is often!), the service is impressively fast and the staff is always friendly and attentive. It’s one of my go-to places to eat, relax, and enjoy a great time in Boerne.

We’ve been to Boerne many times but decided to try Cibolo Creek Brewing for lunch today. I had a burger and my wife got the chicken salad slider and salad special. TLDR everything was delicious, my burger was cooked perfectly and the fries I could have eaten 10 pounds of them. The chicken salad sliders were awesome too. The location is right on Main Street so it’s super easy to walk to from any of the shops as you’re walking around. They have seating both inside and out. We had had our dog and they had water outside and were very welcoming to pets.

This has become one of my happy places. Every single thing I’ve eaten here has been delicious, whether it was a current menu item, or one of their featured items. Now, what I can’t get enough of, the one that keeps me coming back, is the Pastrami Rueben. They smoke the pastrami on site, and oh my, does it set it apart. I am now ruined for all other pastrami. It is full of flavor, a little smoky, and perfectly cooked. Wonderful sauerkraut braised in their Blonde beer tops the pastrami. The rye bread is also well buttered, and expertly toasted. Again, my happy place. Thank you guys for making some stellar food!

Quality: A-. Food was pleasant, nothing over the top. Well presented. Served timely. Bacon a little over done. Service: A. - Generally well delivered. Staff attuned to customers needs. Cleanliness: B+. Overall appeared clean. Value: B. For the item and price, Value is not a strong suit. What make your $15 BLT any different than say Denny's down the street at $7.99? Or ice tea served in a small plastic glass? Would I eat there again: maybe. Atmosphere, quiet, good menu selection.
Ronald B — Google review
Went on a Thursday night. The food was subpar. I had a chicken sandwich that had zero flavor, had to add some crema from my wife's shrimp tacos and even then was just ok. The fries were so greasy, and the fries seemed like they were the bottom of the bag as they were all small chunks not even full long fries. For a $18 sandwich you'd expect better quality, in their defense, apparently they had some wing sauce you could add to the chicken but they didn't ask so... Service was irrelevant since you order at the bar, not helpful, and they just drop off your food. The ambient was not horrible but there was some gnats flying around which is never a good thing. If you go there for the beer 🍺 then you'll probably be fine.

Nestled in a rustic and romantic setting, The Creek Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with its seafood-centric American cuisine. The restaurant features a charming deck that overlooks a serene creek, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. With attentive service and an elegant ambiance, this establishment is known for its consistent and unfailing Continental fare.
Shout out to our server Gerardo! He never failed on checking our food and drinks. He was genuinely happy to serve and added to the lovely atmosphere. Perfect night to be outside with my friend! A reunion with yummy appetizers. We had the Brie and crab cakes and Paloma’s to catch up. The nature outside felt like we were home having a nice dinner, great company, great restaurant. The restroom was clean, free parking!

✨ Brunch Bliss at The Creek! Been wanting to try this popular place for a couple of years and today we finally had our very first visit to The Creek Restaurant in Boerne for brunch—and it was nothing short of enchanting. 🌿💫 Nestled beside the serene Cibolo Creek, the setting alone felt like something out of a storybook. The restaurant is housed in a beautifully preserved building that’s over 200 years old, and part of it was once a church. You can feel the character and peaceful energy in every corner. We wanted to dine outside on the deck, where the sound of the water created the dreamiest backdrop—but it was a bit too windy, so we cozied up inside by a window instead. It was perfect in its own way—warm, inviting, and still filled with charm. 🪟🌬️💕 The food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor—clearly made with love and care. From start to finish, the service was warm and welcoming, making us feel like treasured guests. We left feeling full, happy, and already talking about when we’ll come back. 😊 If you’re ever in Boerne, don’t miss this hidden gem. ✨

Beautiful place. Came here to celebrate our 5 year Anniversary. We enjoyed the place a lot. The food was awesome and not over-served. The chefs definitely have some skills. Our table attendant was awesome and made our experience memorable. The sight was relaxing, with the river about 30 yards away. They also have a Koi fish pond that's very nice. I recommend this restaurant for any celebration or just if your in the mood for a fancy dinner.

Excellent restaurant in the quaint town of Boerne, Texas. The food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch! Our hostess and waiter (Antonio, I believe) were both so friendly, polite, and kind. The food was delicious and freshly made from high-quality ingredients. What more could you ask for? Sorry I didn’t get shots of the food, but here are a few of the beautiful view from the dining porch (plenty of air-conditioned seating inside if you prefer). We’ll be back, and next time, I’m saving room for desert!

A hidden gem that deserves to be visited over and over again! Our experience was absolutely wonderful from the moment we arrived. We went to celebrate my birthday, and I was so touched by the surprise — they brought out a slice of cake with candles and sang Happy Birthday to me! It was such a thoughtful gesture that made the day even more special. Our server, Obed, was outstanding — friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive. His service truly made a difference. And the bartender? Just wow! He made us a carajillo right at our table with a fiery show that was both delicious and impressive. We went on a Sunday for the brunch buffet and were blown away. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Chef Josue Padilla (Josh) even came out to greet the guests — such a thoughtful touch that shows how much he cares. His recipes are simply exquisite. The prime rib was cooked to perfection — juicy and well-seasoned. The made-to-order Florentine crepes were soft, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. And the desserts? Out of this world! From the flan with Licor 43 to the homemade lemon cheesecakes, everything tasted like it was made with love. The patio has such a charming and cozy vibe — it reminded us of grandma’s backyard, the kind of place where you just want to sit and spend the afternoon. The only downside is that they close at 3 p.m. on Sundays, but we’ll definitely be back on a day when they’re open later. Can’t wait to return!

This was the 1st time my mother and I have been to this quaint elegant bistro. We were invited to this place by my neighbors, which all four of us spent our brunch hour attending. This little bistro was well represented. The dinning tables were inviting with white cloth fabric covering the entire table, elegantly folded white napkins, a set of glass cups, square plates and silverware. Their menu was not over whelming. Our waiter was polite, patient, well groomed, well mannered and respectful. They served each of us bread with whipped butter, a sample of their house special soup (garlic, onion w/almond slices) before the entree's arrived. The food was flavorful, colorful and very well presented. The food may look small portioned but trust me, very filling. I would definitely recommend this place to others and I will definitely be coming back. Big thanks to my neighbors for their perfect suggestion.

Never coming back. The Hispanic waiter told us he couldn’t take our order and asked us to leave. I had a reservation for my family and me at 2:30. We arrived at 2:40 and were ready to order by 2:55, but he said the kitchen was closed. I would have understood if he had told us earlier — especially since he still served another party of two that arrived at the same time who stayed. Maybe he just didn’t want to deal with a group of six after 3pm but

A quiet little high-end restaurant that really delivers on service, food, and quiet atmosphere conducive to great conversations. I had the daily special which was the salad with peaches and blackberries, I added the chicken. It was lightly dressed, but that was perfect for the myriad of flavors. My daughter had the Cesar salad with grilled shrimp (she wanted the salmon but they were out). We shared onion rings as an appetizer. Service was impeccable. The young man serving us was perfect, as well refined as anywhere. We really enjoyed lunch and will return.

First time dinning at this restaurant and O was very pleased by their service and food. Our server was so attentive and cordial, his service and attitude were outstanding. The restaurant is very nice and elegant, they have a patio too with very nice lounge furniture and wonderful views. The only thing is a bit hard is the parking, they do not have their own parking, but there is areas around where to park. The experience, food and service are worth the hassle, don't let that to disappoint you. Every dish we ordered was delicious! Look at the pictures and judge by yourself!

We were first time diners and we were very happy with the entire experience. It was our 31st anniversary and we decided to stay close to home and we definitely made the right decision. Bobby was our waiter and for his fourth day he did an exceptional job. The whole wait staff was awesome and the food was fantastic as well. The price met the quality and that’s not the norm these days for an elevated dining experience. Well done Peggy’s on the Green!!!

We love Peggy's on the Green. We went this Saturday for my birthday. My husband made sure to make reservations and let them know that we were celebrating my birthday.

The waiter was super busy but accommodating. We just felt punished away from everyone.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the food, but the homemade biscuits were a definite highlight, as well as the shrimp and grits. I highly recommend those two.

Bar
Cypress Grille is a stylish New American eatery located in the heart of the historic district. The restaurant offers an inventive, seasonal menu with a small, specialty selection that includes spiced pork shank, blackened sea scallops, and eggplant and potato lasagna. For wine lovers, Cypress Grille provides an extensive wine list featuring both conventional and rare options. The upscale experience also includes gourmet entrees and a wood-fired grill menu for carnivores.
Cypress Grille was very nice, they have a front bar with a rustic interior and tables for small and large groups. The front area is a bar with tables and then the main dining area is toward the back. They served some rosemary bread with oil as a starter which was great. They have specialty soup which was shiner beer cheese soup over bread, all of which was great. For dinner I had the pork chop with two sides which were black truffle Mac and cheese and twice based potatoes. All were well cooked and seasoned and service was quick. Dinner here is expensive but the environment is casual family friendly dining and I look forward to coming back sometime soon.

We love going here for wine Wednesdays however we have stopped ordering the charcuterie board because for the money, it leaves a lot to be desired. This go around my husband ordered a twice baked potato and the Caesar salad. The salad was tasty however it was swimming in dressing. But that’s not the worst- when they brought the $9 baked potato out, I almost fell to the floor I was laughing so hard. See for yourself.

We came in through the bar area for a lunch meal. They walked us back to the restaurant area to a booth. The atmosphere felt like a mix of sophisticated and casual. The service was fantastic and the food was so wonderful. I will be returning for their dinner menu sometime.

What a nice atmosphere! We had our anniversary lunch here and it was a very pleasant experience. I had the fried calamari and shrimp appetizer. The crust was delicious. However, the larger pieces of calamari were a bit tough and chewy. The shrimp was delicious. They also added some fried peppers and onions. Overall, a good appetizer. I ordered the shrimp Cobb salad. The blackened shrimp were cooked perfectly. The salad was delicious made better with the champagne vinegarette. My wife ordered the NY Strip with mashed potatoes and salad. The steak was well seasoned and cooked to temperature. My wife wasn't crazy about the mashed potatoes. They were a little lumpy and lacked butter and cream to make them more whipped. Overall, I will come back to try other menu items. The service was excellent and friendly.

Been to the Richter several times since they opened. Always an enjoyable experience. This time a party of 5x on a Thursday evening at 7pm. Weekdays are fine for seating, but we recommend a reservation for Fridays/Saturdays. Clean and friendly as usual. We usually get one of the burgers/sandwiches (which have never disappointed) but this time we also tried one of their pizzas (which was excellent). Paid parking lot immediately next to entrance, but free street parking available as well as free (in the evening) parking at the lots used by the gov't.

What a unique gem that I wish we had in Houston. We were able to get last minute reservations on a Friday night for table of two with drinks and appetizers coming within 5 minutes of our initial order. Servers were so well versed on the liquor and spirits with a back-story for their unique options, very cool. Brussel sprouts were perfectly charred and crispy with bacon equally as tasty and perfectly cooked. Hubby had the tuna nachos and loved it, serving sizes for both appetizers were huge and we ate every last bite. For entreeswe had the crispy skin salmon and chicken karage roll, again large portions in a good way and very delish!

My siblings and I were visiting Boerne in March and had the incredible pleasure of visiting the Richter Tavern! We were especially delighted to meet Guy Sanders, the owner of the building, who took us on a tour of the Tavern, the Speakeasy, and the Cork and Keg wine seller/wine bar while we were there. There are SO many wonderful things to say about the Richter! A quick summary: The building has been lovingly restored with impeccable attention to its original history. The furnishings and overall ambience are extremely authentic; when they couldn't get the original pieces, they found extremely close period pieces or reproductions. The bar in the tavern is reminiscent of the huge bar in Cody, WY, and is indeed genuine. The garage doors on the ceiling of the Cork and Keg and the downstairs hallway are from the building's original incarnation as a garage. The original artwork scattered through the building is superb and well-chosen. The overall vibe is extremely welcoming, with large open areas on every level and staff members who are honestly pleased to be of service. The prices for food and drink are quite reasonable, and the menu is eclectic with something for everyone. We unfortunately were only able to enjoy a glass of regional wine while we were there, but it was delicious and perfectly served. And the best part of all is Guy himself. He is friendly and engaging and a consummate host. He has all the stories of the Richter's history, as well as of the town itself. After 10 minutes of talking with him, we felt like we've known him all our lives! He truly loves the building and the town, and his enthusiasm is infectious. We can't wait to return to the Richter! Thank you so much for SUCH a marvelous time!

I love their architecture! The for Heavens Sake mocktail is still my favorite. This time we shared the wedge salad (exceptionally delicious due to the great beets and ranch) and the Ruben Sandwich. The fries were also crispy n tasty n I don’t usually love fries. Every time has been great food, drinks, atmosphere & service. Important Note: The entrance is hard to find and confusing - There are no signs in the parking lot directing you there and when you get to the elevator and stairs that lead up to it, the signage directing you to the Richters Cork & Keg makes you think they changed their name and moved. It’s on the second floor of the building so def take the stairs or elevator and trust your instincts. :)

Richter Tavern is outstanding! The restaurant and staff are amazing—extremely friendly, responsive, and helpful. They went above and beyond to make last-minute accommodations for me and my business when we placed a large order just three days in advance. Everything was handled flawlessly and seamlessly. A huge shoutout to Stephanie Anderson for her friendliness, attention to detail, and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

Outstanding service, great atmosphere, from the silent pictures playing on the walls to the awesome bathroom deco. The cocktails were fantastic and the old fashioned was one of the best I've had in the entire San Antonio region. The pork the dish was amazing. Only knock was the pizza sauce was very overpowering and I was not a fan of it. Try the wings, trust me!

I've lived in Boerne for 13 years, and this is one of the best dining experiences I've had. This restaurant is a well-kept secret. There is no need to drive to San Antonio. This is as good or better than Tardiff's or the Signature in Dominion. The atmosphere is wonderful. I'm only sad that I did not find it sooner. I will be sure to return. This will be the go-to restaurant from now on. After dinner, cocktails in the third-floor bar were wonderful. I can't give a better review.

Restaurant
The Dienger Trading Co. is a charming vintage bistro housed in a 19th-century building, featuring a quirky atmosphere and serving breakfast, sandwiches, beer, and wine. The cafe occupies the ground floor of the historic building and offers a variety of country specialties such as chicken-fried steak Benedict and classic pancakes. Additionally, they have a full bakery with an array of pastries and muffins sourced from local vendors.
My son-in-law and daughter took me to The Dienger Trading Co. in Boerne, Texas and we had great meals there! The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the selection of dishes that were offered was unique, and some of the selections were uniquely "Texan." All of the food was either cooked or baked to perfection, and I and my family thoroughly enjoyed our meals! The owner was present, and he went from table-to-table warmly greeting his guests and fellow diners ensuring that we all had a wonderful dining experience at his restaurant. I was particularly impressed by the genuinely courteous Texan hospitality that he displayed, and felt at ease as if I was dining at home among friends. Thank you to all of the kitchen and wait staff, and the owner for giving us all a truly memorable dining experience. We'll definitely return for more!

Great restaurant with delicious breakfast food. Big portions. Good coffee and cappucino. Good service. The place itself is well designed with large windows and an older style decor that gives it a vintage vibe. There’s a large boutique store connected to the restaurant which my wife absolutely loved. They sell women’s clothes, baby clothes, stationary, candles, cups, kitchen items, and more. Good selection of quality items you won’t find in the big chain dept stores, and everything we saw was fairly priced. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Boerne.

I will start with the positives. Atmosphere with the history is just awesome. The little shop is too cute with a lot of Boutique stuff. All the kids clothes are adorable and the adult clothes are sophisticated. The food was amazing however the service could have used a little extra touch. I sat there with no water two times while the server walked by me. I don't feel like I should tip a server for only taking my order. He did check on me once after I got my food but somebody else delivered it. I did however tip him $2 because I didn't want to be completely rude, but I don't think he deserved it and I hope it went to the hostess who did more for me and the food deliverer and cook.

Super cute restaurant and boutique. Our server Brooke was great, no food was forgotten and it came out really fast considering all the people. We got vanilla custard French toast which was 10/10 and so was the biscuit. For something savory I would recommend the eggs Benedict. The restaurant is so pretty and all the staff is really nice. The owner is always here talking to the customers which is super cute. We love it here!

I regret not taking a picture of my food! The Avacado toast was amazing. Their biscuit and gravy are great, especially due to their house brand sausage. The breakfast potatoes were the best I have ever had. Mimosas were well priced and delicious. All in all, for a whole bottle and 2 people to eat some amazing food, I feel the 64 dollar price tag was pretty amazing. The staff all around were pleasant, happy, and helpful. The owner is a good man. He opens his place to host a veteran breakfast meeting and offers a military discount. The shop is nice and offers a diverse selection. Mostly its for women and children, but they do have some literature, kitchen items and some cool toys. All very uniqe from local artist.

Atmosphere was nice, coffee was good and adult food was good. Service was slow even though we got there at 8:40 on a Sunday with no line. Biggest reason for low stars is kids meal. The kids food is a literal joke. A spoonful of eggs and one slice of bacon for $12? The plate was EMPTY. THANKFULLY I got my kids pancakes because even they looked at their plate and said “this is it?” Age 4&7 Add $3 and get them an adult meal because it actually comes with potatoes at least. Even the thought of 3 mini pancakes with no fruit cup or anything seems like a joke of a meal for kids. You must not have kids! Also no coloring or any kids activities while you wait. Not kid friendly here.. on top of that we never got asked for sauces or checked on, but we did get asked if we wanted our check before our food even got to our table! Very odd and I said no, we haven’t even eaten yet. Never got a receipt, have no idea what we got charged for. Wish it was a better first experience, I really wanted to love this place.

My bride and I decided to celebrate Veterans Day with breakfast at the Dienger. The greeter was excellent and informed us that it would be a few minutes wait. No problem. She seated us 10 minutes later and provided us with water. I believe the statement was, "your server will be with you. Our server never showed up. I was in uniform, kind of hard to miss this guy in a Navy Khaki uniform. No service, no acknowledgement - I'll be with you shortly; nothing. Nothing. Serving staff going back and forth and not even a nod. I wasn't looking for a free meal or coffee, I just wanted to have a nice breakfast on Veterans Day. Absolute failure.
