    This was our first visit to Bushel and a Peck, it was quite enjoyable. The food was excellent, the atmosphere relaxed, and the service outstanding. We liked having a carafe of cold water on the table and the fast refills of our drinks. The entire experience was really wonderful and relaxed. We'll be be back.

    The food is VERY GOOD here! Ordered the chicken and waffles and my partner had the apple cinnamon French toast. Both dishes tasted soooo good! We also ordered the crab dip and that was very tasty. Definitely will return for brunch next time in the area.

    We had a reservation so we were seated quickly. Our server came right over and took our drink orders. The BlackBerry Sangria was amazing! The bread was delicious and the salad was ok(not a fan of vinegrette). Our steak was prepared as each of us requested. It was delicious! The special sauce was very tasty! Much to our surprise they came around with another round of steak and fries (which my mom and I boxed up as we were full). I highly recommend Medium Rare if you enjoy steak in a nice atmosphere!
