Living near this new establishment, I was very excited to see an old building being revamped into what is already popular. Being open for only a few short weeks, every time we passed we saw that it was packed.  Luckily we were able to get our first peek on Cardinals opening night.  The building is awesome.  Take time to read about this history of the building, they have taken items from various buildings and added it to make this a one of a kind.  There are many tvs along the walls and it is very welcoming. Their menu isn't expansive but you're sure to find something.  They are being noted for their smoked items so we got the pulled pork and the chicken sandwiches respectively.  We were not disappointed and we left feeling quite full.

This is a great new place in South County that opened April 1. Took a few family members for lunch on April 2, and we all enjoyed it. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, reasonable prices, and good food. I had spaghetti and meatballs and a salad with house (italian) dressing. The meatballs were tasty and the sauce had a sweet characterisitc to it. Others ordered the beef sliders and grilled cheese, and both were very pleased with their orders.

New #Oakville spot to try out. Not off to a running start. Hoping for a bounce back. (@ Cafe Telegraph) http://4sq.com/15ZpF0i

I think the owner did a great job fixing the place up but, I truly believe the food is what needs fixing.  We spent about $85 with tip for 2 kids and 4 adults.  Definitely not worth it.  We won't be back.

— yelp.com · Tue, Apr 30 2013 15:01:21

Not bad for a brand new spot. Servers still need to work on menu knowledge, specials and what is and isn't allowed by te chef. I requested a side substitute and wasn't allowed because chef said "no way". Other thn that pretty decent spot to grab a bite n some beer.

— tripadvisor.com · Tue, Apr 30 2013 15:18:07

My first experience was bad and we left. This time we received excellent service and the food turned out awesome. Kudos goes out to the Cafe Telegraph staff for redeeming themselves without even knowing it!
