Second Street Cafe

I am new to Ottumwa, and the few times I have been to this restaurant it is very nice to me that I see the same staff there each time and the staff knows the regulars by name. As far as the restaurant goes, it is what one would expect from a small town restaurant. Very friendly staff, extremely reasonable prices and the food arrives very quickly.

Great breakfast menu. Courteous wait staff. My family and I eat breakfast here on a regular basis. It has a nice atmosphere and plenty of seating.

The food was delicious but the cleanliness was lacking. And my son's straw was unwrapped and put in his milk before she got to the table. Ours came in paper.

Great breakfast in a historic hotel. Update, place is still great, amazing breakfast, great waitress' , delicious.

Food was good. Service was friendly and comfortable.
Definitely gives a diner feel to eating experience.

It's food, it's edible, decent service, acceptable prices. Occasionally they might slightly mess up an order but who doesn't?

Neat historical restaurant located in the Hotel Ottumwa.

The food is great, taste like home cooked. Now as for the service... fast, friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu items.

The food itself was satisfactory (reubin & spaghetti--though larger plates for the salad would have been appreciated), but we found the server, Meghan, to be a bit under par in hospitality compared to our typical service at the Cafe Hopefully she was just having a rough day, and this isn't reflective of her normal demeanor.

Love their breakfast all day! I also love their lunch and dinner menu. Great staff and fast service.
