Moose Cafe - Colfax

The food at this restaurant was surprisingly delicious, made with fresh ingredients. Some people may not appreciate its homemade feel if they are used to processed food. It would be nice to have a few added touches like real butter and maple syrup. It seems a shame to make your own apple butter and serve amazing pancakes, only to top them with corn syrup. Overall, it's a great spot to enjoy a meal and unwind while visiting the farmers market.

Cute name for tourists, but not great place for food quality. BBQ was full of fat and greasy. Hostess was not friendly, just seated us with no words...just pitched menus on table and walked off. 3 stars for our server, who was great. Burgers way too expensive and average quality.

My husband and I decided to visit the farmers market and the Moose Cafe. We used to go to these places when we lived in Greensboro/High Point and always enjoyed them. It had been about 2 years since our last visit, as we had moved near Charlotte. The biscuits and apple butter were delicious, with the apple butter having a Christmas-like taste. I ordered the meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, and steamed cabbage. Unfortunately, the meatloaf was disappointing, tasting like a mystery meat brick with a Vienna Sausage flavor. The mashed potatoes were decent, but the steamed cabbage lacked flavor. The waitress was kind and offered to bring me something else, but I had lost my appetite. My husband had the breakfast with scrambled eggs, grits, and country ham, and said it was okay. Maybe I just picked the wrong dish, but we likely won't be returning.

The food at this restaurant is delicious. I tried the fried chicken, gravy, cornbread, beets, collards, and sweet tea, as well as a fried chicken sandwich. The breading on the sandwich was a bit heavy for my liking, but the fried chicken was still fantastic. I plan on returning to try their breakfast menu. The service was good, and I recommend giving this place a try.

Really good food. Not overly salty.. Definitely recommend.
