“ 5 stars all around for Kathy the lunch shift server! She did awesome at featuring different items on the menu we hadn’t thought about, which we actually went with one of! She’s quick, friendly, and great with the guests. The food definitely matches her positive energy. Thank you miss Kathy!! ”
“ We popped in for a quick bite, and it didn't disappoint. It never does. The service is always the best. The food is always amazing. And we love the outdoor seating. Baker's and Hale is in our rotation for a reason. ”
“ Phenomenal happy hour! Atmosphere was great! Music playing outside, nice friendly environment inside. Deliciously unique dishes. I had the brisket tacos and the fried pickled home grown vegetables ”
“ The staff were very friendly and hospitable. Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately greeted and seated. Our drink orders were taken, and our waitress was helpful in answering our questions, as it was our first time there. We are from Michigan and in town visiting family. They highly recommended Bakers & Hale, and we are so happy we went. We purposely skipped having any appetizers with the sole intention of having dessert. Still, we were too full. So, I ordered the Lemon Gooey Butter Cheesecake to go. It held up well, and was 100% delicious the next day. Rich and creamy, and unlike any cheesecake I have ever had. I'd be happy to visit B&H just for drinks and dessert. ”
“ Food is amazing. Brisket nachos, brisket egg rolls, cheese burger with bacon jam, etc. Dessert was also incredible, blueberry gooey butter cake and chocolate gooey butter cake put me over the top, I could barely drive home, lol. New covered bar/patio has a ton of seating. A ”
“ Nice place to visit during their HAPPY HOUR. I visited this restaurant during happy hour, so all pizzas were 10 dollars. I could save 10 dollars bc of that. I liked the restaurant's atmosphere, the workers were nice and all food I had was amazing. I wish drinks were a little bit cheaper tho. ”
“ Amazing food. Brisket quesadilla is a go to. Burger was amazing. Fish tacos are worth raving over. ”
“ I was very impressed with this place and will definitely return. The menu is not the run of the mill which is nice to have different variety of options for a change. We were there on a beautiful spring day and there is a plethora of outdoor seating that we were able to enjoy for our 5-hour lunch. There is also a large amount of seating inside and the restrooms are very clean. They were very accommodating for my allergies and also checked labels and let me know what I could and couldn't eat. I enjoyed the fajita bowl with the cauliflower rice for three meals. The service was excellent and they continued to check on us throughout the 5 hours even though we were just drinking water for several of them. I will be returning shortly with hubby very soon. ”
