| - I went to the Courtyard Cafe for the first time for a late lunch and it was very enjoyable. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and the staff is friendly and attentive. The menu is extensive offering homemade soups, salads, full entrees (fish, beef, chicken, ribs), sandwiches, burgers, pizza, etc. They have a full bar and it looks like a nice dessert selection. The mini-strip plaza that the restaurant is located in is undergoing renovation (Sep. 2011) so at the moment, the regular restaurant sign is not present but this should be corrected once the construction work is done. Even with the construction and the odd late-lunch time, the place was about 1/3 full - I suspect they get packed during normal peak rushes.
I opted for the Smoked Turkey Bacon Monterrey Jack Wrap which was really really good. The wrap is sun-dried tomato flavored and went well with the smoked turkey and bacon. I particularly enjoyed the preparation at the Courtyard as they put the wrap into their pizza oven and toasted it, giving the outer wrap firmness, and marrying the ingredients via the melted cheese. Very tasty, and something I would order again. It came with a small cup of sour cream, but I did not use it as the sandwich was tasty enough without it. Additionally, I had a small cup of their homemade Italian wedding soup (Thursday special). It was also very good, with a lot of mini-meatballs. Each day, they make a different homemade soup. During pleasant weather, they also have a nice outdoor dining area.
So yes, I recommend the Courtyard Cafe. In case you want to go now while the construction is going on... Drive into the plaza where Subway/Honey Hut ice cream is located, and go to the corner of the plaza. Walk towards the corner and the restaurant is on the right.
Sorry, as I said, it was a late lunch and I was famished so I bit into my wrap before I could take a photo! Oh No... :)
