| - Downtown Henderson. I really liked this place. It's next to a bookstore, and what could be better than that. I am fuzzy on remembering the decor, but it's small and quaint. Nice extensive menu with breakfast stuff served all day - always a bonus to me! They had a little bit of outside seating as well, which is perfect in the current season before it gets too hot.
I had a friend who was supposed to meet me, and unfortunately, I had forgotten my phone, and she had forgotten about lunch, so I was hanging around a bit. The owner, who has been termed as crusty or unfriendly, was very sweet to me, he even offered his phone so I could call my friend. Unfortunately, my memory loss kicked in and I couldn't remember her number.
In the end, I ordered the Coo Coo's Super Bird Panini. To be my unusual self, I left off the Dijonnaise and Tomato, and had them add the Cran-Mayo (from the Ocean Spray sandwich) which went extremely well with the Turkey, Swiss, and Bacon (isn't EVERYTHING better with bacon?) and I had the Sourdough bread. For my side, I up charged to get a cup of the chicken noodle soup.
The sandwich was stellar, especially with my Sally-like ordering, juicy turkey, nicely melted cheese, crunchy bacon, and the nice tinge of cranberry with the mayo, yum! The sourdough was properly panini'd and no burn. :) The chicken soup was especially good, nothing like Campbell's or Costco or anything out of a can. It had excellent flavor and a nice balance of chicken to noodle to veggies, or what-have-you that was in it.
There was a steady stream of customers in and out getting drinks and lunch to go, you can tell they do a lot of local business. Right next to me were some folks from local law enforcement (it's near the Henderson courthouse, after all.)
The staff were very nice to me even though I hung out for a half hour before giving up on my friend and ordering. They didn't give the vibe that they were impatient with me at all. As I said, the owner was really nice; I wouldn't have recognized any of the previous Yelpers description of him.
Back to the food, I saw a Chef Salad delivered to customers outside that looked gorgeous in presentation. It made me want one!
No fries on the menu, as others have stated, and I'm not a huge Mac salad, chips, or potato salad kind of girl, and fruit cups is too healthy for me, but the ability to switch up to a cup of that fabulous soup worked great for me!
I will be back, hopefully with the friend who suggested the location and eats here frequently! She was pretty apologetic about forgetting, but no big deal, I got to really check out the place.
