Service was so bad . We only got half our meals. Catfish dinners come with 2 fish fillets and we got 1 . It also comes with 2 sides we got 1 and sat there over a hr and a half to be served. If I could give zero stars I would . That'd be a good location for a restaurant!!

We had a wonderful breakfast here this week! Food and service were excellent. Large portions. Would definitely recommend and return.

The cheese curds alone are worth the visit. The tea is good. Service is friendly. The eggs are great. The waffle is probably one of, if not the best in town.

Everything was perfect; I just wasn’t fond of the cut of meat for the chicken fried steak (could have been the oil), but again it was cooked perfectly. Service was great.

Got a sandwich, a doorstop and some softdrinks. And they were made with the care and ingredients my nanna would have made them with. I've never seen such fresh green lettuce anywhere else. Now, for delivery, they have had the good sense to only include items that would still be in good shape after travel time. Seeing other reviews has made me aware their dine in options are expanded. We'll be visiting when we can. I also like their sense of humour on their online menu. Back in the day Cafe sounds about right, cause eating their food makes me feel like I'm eating food from a different era, back when ingredient quality used to be a thing. And the price is quite reasonable too. And I don't even need to walk uphill, both ways, in the snow to get it. In fact, I'm about to order more right now.

Didn't get my food, same waitress who in the past forgot my husbands order. Hostess was nice and offered us a dessert but all I wanted was my food and had to go back to work. Will be going back but this is the 2nd time this happens with the same waitress.

The only reason I leave one start is because I doesn’t let me leave a 0 star review. Sadly, I had a horrible experience in this place! The establishment is dirty and they don't wear gloves in the kitchen. Customer service is terrible, especially from an older lady with the name Becky! Not only was she was very rude towards me but also racist! To be clear she was laughing at the way I speak English and the manager(owner) was very much ok with it. When I asked “Becky” what was wrong with the way I spoke English (trying to understand why she was so rude and disrespectful towards me) the owner in front of all the customers told me to leave the establishment. I couldn’t believe this, after years of not only me but friends and family members supporting this place. To say the least, I felt so humiliated and for that reason we will not be returning. I was planning on not leaving a bad review since it is a pretty small local business and I know it's hard to get people in the door. But the experience I received there was really horrible and humiliating! I would like to make everyone aware of this place because nobody deserves to be treated this way.

Breading did not stick to the chicken fried steak, and it was a little greasy. Eggs were OK. The hash browns, the cheapest item on the plate and I got a whole two bites.

This is a great place to eat. The food is delicious, service is very good and the decor is so cute. The interior is set up like an old time town. I'm so glad to have found it.
