Th place is food for the soul ! So charming. You can feel the love. The soup was the best I’ve ever had. So fresh and delicious. My only regret is how long it took me to get here. Do yourself a favor, have a meal here and chat a wyle .

Food good but prices are a little high for what you get. Would recommend for a different dining experience.

Everything has made homemade including the turkey for the sandwiches and the focaccia bread and homemade soups. And the price is right here. It’s a fabulous place.

We enjoyed a lovely long lunch at Chat-A-Wyle. The atmosphere was sunlit and cheerful, with lots of surrounding conversation . Service was prompt. The menu had unique soup items, and worth the calories deserts.

This restaurant is super cute, cozy, and warm with a friendly atmosphere. They serve delicious soups, sandwiches, and desserts. I highly recommend trying their soup flights, which allow you to sample a variety of soups. I've tried all of the soups and they were all delicious. If you're in the area, you must visit this place.

This place has been one of my favorites since I was in high school. It always has a homey feel anytime of year and the food is consistently good. Whenever I go I almost always get the cheesy potato soup. This place is not super huge and can get busy but the food keeps us coming back. Recently I had the turkey sandwich and we were told that they roast a turkey everyday for their sandwiches and soups they make. One thing I would change if I got the turkey sandwich again would be to try a different type of bread. I had the focaccia which ended up being thinner and crispier than I'm used to for this type of bread. Their Italian I was told is Roma's bread which is always a staple when we visit the area. They also have an oat bread that I would like to try. One thing I do not like when I dine here is the water, the tap water has a chlorine taste. I usually order something else to drink when I remember. In the past their desserts have been good as well! Definitely worth the stop when you're in the area.

Awesome bread soup bowls. It's a cozy home style restaurant. I've also seen it on tv as a documented haunted house

Tasty and hearty breakfast and lunch. Portabella mushroom sandwich is my favorite. Meatloaf is also delicious. Monte Cristo is what I usually get for breakfast. In addition to good food, the staffs are very friendly!

My wife seems to be addicted to their Autumn Bisque soup which is consistently terrific! Instead of an intervention I try to get her a few bowls for takeout every few weeks! Servers are always friendly! Great unique place to have a delicious lunch!
