Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about Humble Comfort Food & Spirits and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Meghan Black.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Humble Comfort Food & Spirits stand apart from its competitors. Meghan told us about some of the ways they offer comfort and care to their patrons, saying that it all starts with a warm greeting right when you walk in. They are committed to making truly home-cooked comfort food by hand. They also hang amazing artwork on their walls, all from local artists! Meghan told us that in their shop, there are always great conversations going on, and that she loves their regulars.

We asked Meghan about their business mission, and she shared:

“I find food to be an important part of my day, and I value what goes in my body. I want people to have that, too. We make them real food that will nourish their bodies.”

Building Success, Online and Off

Humble Comfort Food & Spirits has earned a phenomenal reputation, and Meghan said it’s all been thanks to word of mouth. Of course, they have also seen the benefits of having great online reviews. When we asked Meghan what the secret is behind getting hundreds of positive reviews, she said that they are just lucky to have such great patrons.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Humble Comfort Food & Spirits has managed to. We asked if Meghan could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:

“Make sure that your customers know you care about them and that you truly enjoy them.”

Meghan ended our chat by saying that she wanted to express her gratitude to the people that have left them such kind words in their reviews. She also wanted to give a shout-out to her staff, who she said makes the dream work.


Congratulations to Humble Comfort Food & Spirits for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Meghan for taking the time to speak with us!
