Went back for my second visit last week. This time was dinner around 8pm on a weeknight with one of my girlfriends. There was no wait, but the place was pretty full, which is kind of surprising since it's tucked away in a stip mall in a suburb. The crowd was mostly older folks, which was also a little surprising considering the time of day. We both got salads, which were again fresh and large. I especially liked the red French dressing, which tasted homemade. My friend had to customize her salad, which the waitress had no problem doing. I got the meatloaf sandwich to take home for my husband, which he said was tasty. He said the bread was especially good.
I will agree with Steve W. that this is not ever going to be an adventurous foodie's favorite place. While I generally am a very adventurous eater, the majority of my relatives are all very picky eaters, so it's pretty impossible for us to go to a restaurant that I am excited about and they are not afraid of. I am happy that places like the Courtyard Cafe exist because my relatives know they can find things here within their comfort zone, and I don't have to endure the agony of eating at a national chain restaurant.
