“Huge portions- excellent quality food- Should be #1”

This restaurant is by far the best in Ghent, with quality, amount of food you get for your money, and creativity with the menu. The food is all amazing and you will never be disappointed. Parking is tight coming in. You won't wait long for a table. The ambiance is very artistic and ecclectic with high ceilings and wooden tables. The bathrooms are unisex and really neat inside===although I could do without the unisex. The noise is high in the restaurant so it's not a quiet place to eat, but such a great place to take company from out of town. Just beware of sitting in the table right outside the swinging kitchen door---too much traffic there. We always take our friends and family here when the visit---its our first choice! The service is good and you won't ever wait long for a table. It's a very well managed restaurant, you can tell.

My favorite dishes are:
Salad with broiled tuna (such a variety of greens, huge, homemade parmesan peppercorn---sooo good)
London broil pita (huge and great cut of meat....they do not skrimp)
chili with deeeeelicious cornbread!!! (corn bread is so good it tastes like cake)
side of onion rings (I could drink the onion ring sauce)
Reuben
OH ....EVERYTHING!!!!

You literally could order anything here and be happy with it b/c of the tremendous quality and creativity with the food.

Casual & eclectic, this local favorite is consistently pleasing. I am especially fond of their funky salads.

All time, never fail, always have a good meal place to go in Ghent. Teriyaki tuna wrap is AMAZING. My out of town grandparents insist on coming here every time they visit.
