Food blogger Shannon of Piecelove recommends Café 4 for their “incredible modern Southern soul food like fried green tomatoes with goat cheese, red-pepper relish, and balsamic reduction.”

Café 4 burger. The bread and honey butter is off the hook! Kelly is the bomb server.

Great location and atmosphere. Expect 2-hour wait time on weekends if you do not have a reservation. No stouts, porters, or brown ales on tap. Light beers and IPA only.

Good food and atmosphere. Very limited beer selection, unless you like IPA and light beer. No stouts or porters. Not even a brown ale.

Had the buttermilk chicken minis with asparagus as the side. Both were perfectly prepared and delicious. Service was excellent.
