    A very so-so experience at Toasty Badger. Had higher hopes based on the ratings but the dishes were subpar and nothing to rave about. Can understand and appreciate the diner vibe it has inside, but overall quality of everything can improve.

    The salmon Bennie and avocado toast were great but the granola was not crispy and would not recommend this. It was also really cold inside but overall would recommend this restaurant

    Food? Delicious. Vibes? Immaculate. Came here for a casual Mother’s Day lunch and everyone was very happy and we all agreed we’ll be back.

    It was great to come early for Easter when it wasn’t busy. They let us stay for a while after eating before they very politely let us know it was getting busy. I really appreciated that.the smoked salmon Benedict was delicious!
