    Chilaquiles Chorizo breakfast burrito
    Katherine M.

    Chickens, chickens, & more chickens!!! If you want a Mexican home style breakfast this is the spot. AM cafe is covered in so much cute chicken decor starting at the entrance all the way till the restrooms. I got the chilaquiles with huevos con chorizo and my husband got the chorizo breakfast burrito. Both items were very filling and delicious! The chorizo was cooked all the way through and it wasn't too aromatic. We also shared a short stack of banana nut pancakes that were sooo good! They weren't overly sweet and the nuts gave it a nice texture. I do wish they offered home made salsas, but they had a nice alternative with the fried jalapeño! Definitely a good spot to come and enjoy breakfast without paying crazy prices.

    If your looking for a great spot for breakfast than don't like any further because they spot is legit! Came by on a Monday morning at 11:30am with some co workers and found some seating and got served immediately by our kind waitress. Service was great and spot on which was appreciated. Menu is extensive with a great variety of items. It was hard for me to choose since there was so many great options but I went with a Denver omlete and that thing was AMAZING. Huge portion of food and of great quality. I was very pleased with my omlete, a 10/10. All my co workers loved their meal so that's how you know it's a great spot. If your in the area and craving some good food, make sure to check them out. Thank you AM cafe for the great food. Till next time.

    It's located in an old strip mall and doesn't look welcoming, however once inside, it is colorful and very welcoming! Like the saying -You can't tell a book from its cover, this is true to this cafe. We were greeted and seated at a booth located on the left side of the cafe. We ordered coffee and looked at the menu which has a variety of offerings. They work as a tag team, a very nice young man brought our coffee and stayed to talk for a while, he was followed by the waitress who took our order and finally another young lady who brought our food. The meal was reasonably priced and included 2 of each -German Crepes, eggs, hash-browns and bacon - choice of meat. The German Crepes had just the right amount of lemon and powder sugar, they were so yummy and made perfectly. The eggs were fluffy, buttery and cooked throughly , so good. The hash browns were freshly shredded and cooked to a light golden brown , it was like eating snow flakes just the right consistency- I would have liked them a little crispier but they were hard to resist. The bacon was good but again for me I love crispy bacon and they were cooked but not crisp! What I like about places like this is that you go not expecting anything, and what you get is one of the Best Breakfast I've ever had! Go to AM Cafe you will enjoy every bite!

    Haven't been to this place in awhile. There is plenty of parking outside and inside there's open seating in the diner. The decorations in the diner are pretty cool. Farm animals like chickens, hens, and roosters adorn the walls. We found a comfy booth and right away our server arrived and gave us menus to order our meals and that we did. The food was delicious and the service was great. Thank you AM Cafe.

    Delicious breakfast choices. Efficient and friendly servers. Delightful experience.

    Chicken sausage, eggs and hash browns
    Myra G.

    We decided to try AM Café based on the good reviews. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, and the staff was very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Our order was taken quickly, and the food came out in a timely manner, which I really appreciated. I also liked that they offered chicken sausage as an option, which was a nice surprise. The pancakes were fluffy and enjoyable. That said, the food overall was just okay for me. Nothing was bad, but the entrées didn't really stand out or feel memorable. With the cost of eating out these days, I personally look for food that feels like a 10/10 experience, and for me, this wasn't quite it. The restaurant was pretty full, so clearly it's popular and well-liked by others, but it just wasn't a place I'd be eager to return to.

    The Am Cafe was the perfect casual breakfast spot. It was a locally owned spot in a very unassuming retail center. As you walk in you are greeting by a very friendly staff, the decor is interesting, at first I thought it looking like a classic Mexican restaurant, due to the colors on the walls and the decor. My breakfast was served quickly, I ordered a three egg breakfast with bacon and harsh-browns. Solid breakfast, I would say the beacon could have been a bit more tasty but the rest of the food was perfect. Within the menu you will find a large variety of basics like, burgers, sandwiches, senior menu, and omelets. The pricing was very reasonable. Looks like the local police stop by there was 4 cop cars outside and many police enjoying coffee, so I guess it's a safe space.

    Cinnamon roll pancake
    Phoebe T.

    Seat yourself. Cute little diner farm vibes with a lot of rooster display. I ordered the farmhand special with cinnamon roll pancake, DELICIOUS! Perfect portions, the cinnamon roll pancake was a great dessert after the bacon/eggs/hashbrown. Hashbrowns were crispy & soft, eggs were cooked the way I asked. It does get hot in the restaurant though, but not as hot as it is outside. Overall great place for breakfast/lunch.

    found this gem here in Lancaster and I am very impressed. It is a cute place that's decorated with lots of chickens. Makes it feel homey. We were able to sit wherever we wanted and the waitress attended us right away. She took our drink orders and brought them out promptly. She took our food orders and then we waited for the food. The food was amazing. I had the banana walnut French toast, my brother in law had the cinnamon pancakes and my husband had steak and eggs. Overall it was quite delicious, the prices were great and will definitely go back.

    Chicken apple sausage, 3 eggs, hashbrowns, biscuits & gravy.
    Lisa S.

    Got breakfast delivered from here: chicken apple sausage (delicious ) 3 eggs, hashbrown (perfectly crisp as requested) and biscuits & gravy (yum ). I highly recommend this cafe. I didn't eat there but the food was so good. Thank you!

    We stopped by A.M. Café after our original spot was closed, my son picked it, and it turned out to be such a nice surprise! The location isn't the flashiest, but once you walk in, it's warm, welcoming, and very clean (menus, floors, bathrooms, everything spotless!). The food was great, and the service was kind and patient even though we came in close to closing time. One of the sweetest surprises was my daughter's little hot cocoa, it came with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles and was just the cutest thing ever! This place had a lot of unexpected little touches that made it feel special. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area. A hidden gem! Let me know if you want a fun, sassy, or super short version too!

Definitely order the home fries over hash browns, they are well seasoned crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So delicious don't skip! The garden burger was also so delicious the patty is made of like oats and mushrooms and one more ingredient that I can't remember right now but it was superb! Definitely one of the best veggie burgers I have had! Top 5 for sure. Now the reason they didn't get 5 stars. The side of fruit that I ordered and two other plates on the table came with, wasn't fresh. It looked a day or a few days old. Only the melon was decent enough to eat. Next is more of a suggestion. I understand it's a diner but I feel like all restaurants/diners/cafes should have alternative milks such as oat, soy or almond milk. Because I asked for a cold brew but I had to drink it black due to the lack of alternative milks. Which was fine but I can't be the only person that has that suggestion. Overall Katz n' jammers cafe was a cute diner with 50s nostalgia on the walls and fair prices for good food!
