We've been going to Cedar City every year for the Shakespeare Festival and since the Best Western closed (Mavericks now) we stayed at the Courtyard Marriott. Directly across the street, literally a 3-minute walk is Amber Kay's Cafe. It's a diner-type place with an open layout. We were seated right away, gave us a high chair for the little bug. The prices were reasonable for a tourist town and the food was delish, I love me some Avocado Toast. They were super patient with our little brat and very accommodating. Will for sure come back! read more

Best Breakfast!! Been in 6 States for roadtrip and this place was our last beakfast before heading back home to California.. Damn It Was Good! This place is definitely worth your attention in your time to stop in this nice little restaurant with the friendliest customers and staff. The food was off the hook good and the coffee was awesome the Pat Petty's French toast combo was really really good everything was so fresh. The chicken fried steak was really good had there been more I would've kept eating.

I haven't been back to CC in a few years. Nice to see more options. We had had breakfast and it was delicious, the staff was very friendly, coffee was on point with creamer or vanilla creamer at the table which is always nice. Love the vibe, felt welcoming and we will be coming back. Recommend you try the corn beef hash or the kids pancakes which my daughter absolutely loved. read more

Service used to be great. Went in last week and servers were standing around having a good old time ignoring their customers. Saw people walk out, because they were not acknowledged went they walked in to be seated. It took almost an hour to get our food. Very disappointed with our service. read more

Amazing French Toast Combo. Sausage patty was on the salty side if you aren't into that, but this hit the spot! Stopped here heading back from Outpostx read more

Super slow. Plenty of open seats but waited over ten minutes to be seated. Slow at taking our order. Slow in the kitchen. You get the idea. It is a guessing game of what they actually have. Multiple times they "were out of..." is it Covid shortages again. If you have endless time and patience then this is your place. read more

Amber Kay’s Cafe - Wait was so long - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

First and foremost, the omelette is where it's at. I was very impressed with the quality and quantity of it. Very tasty and cooked right. A lot of places overcook theirs. The hashbrowns were good and crispy. Just needed seasoning. Biscuits and gravy were okay. Waffle was good and plentiful with berries and whipped cream. They are busy and making things fresh, so be prepared to hang out and enjoy the vibe. read more

Unfortunately, our experience at Amber Kay's was disappointing. When we arrived, we were not greeted. A blonde employee with long hair, who appeared tired and was carrying a baby, walked past us without acknowledgment. She then continued bussing tables while holding the baby and eventually seated us, making an unprofessional comment in the process. After being seated, my husband and I waited to place our order. During that time, the same employee spent time sitting at the bar cleaning utensils, drinking from her Hydro Flask, and chatting with friends rather than attending to customers. We were also concerned about the kitchen's food safety practices. Several cooks had long hair that was not restrained, and some had long beards that were not covered with beard nets. Overall, the service and professionalism fell well below our expectations. Unfortunately, we will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience. read more

Welcoming and feels like home! Friendly staff with warm inviting personalities, makes you feel like family. Clean and spacious dining tables. They make everything from scratch in the kitchen and yet it's served out so quickly! They have filling portions too! I'll be back for more! read more

Amazing restaurant. Service was great! Ambiance was good. Clean and decorated cute! Best food around this area. We have the SOS and it was amazing. We also had the petty French toast dipped and it was so good!! Everything was great. We will only be going here when we are in town read more

Great service, fast, and friendly. Food was excellent and they serve cheeseburgers and fries at 8:30am. Someone in my group ordered it.

Great place to have breakfast or lunch. The three times I have eaten here we always eat breakfast. They have good breakfast combos with hashbrowns eggs and your choice of meat. The kids can always find something good to eat whether it's pancakes or just bacon & eggs. Guaranteed to have a good meal. The service is decent. They are always so busy. read more

The service was friendly. The inside decor is nostalgic and eclectic with many decorations on nearly every inch of the wall. We went for breakfast on a weekday. The food was just okay, pretty standard breakfast food. The butter was delish. If only they had an extended coffee menu read more

Popped off the 15 in cedar City to grab gas and Ambers, right across the street was calling. The mostly positive reviews helped sway as well as the packed parking lot. It probably would have been a decent wait had there not been empty seats at the counter. The gals taking care of us, we're super friendly and attentive despite how busy it was. Coffee was hot and the food fresh. Breakfast these days is always on the expensive side consider you're getting potatoes and eggs but relatively speaking $12.50 for a filling omelette isn't bad. Total cost for one coffee one veggie omelette 1 cup of cottage cheese and tip came to 21 and I'm stuffed! read more

3rd time here. Only about a 10 minutes or less wait for a table. We sat at the counter during our 2nd visit and will abbr do that again. The guy did the dishes right in front of us the entire time & would bang the trays on the counter. The service is always great! Friendly and attentive! Had the spicy burrito & French toast. Both were really good & we recommend. read more

Amber Kay's is one of the best places for breakfast and lunch. They make their own bisques from scratch and the hamburger are large and juicy. The will cook the medium it you aske unlike many restaurants cook the life out of their meat. Might as well eat a Hokey puck at other places. Fries come out hot and fresh, not sitting in a warmer. Sometimes they are so busy that you might have to wait.....but, it is well worth the wait. read more

My friends and I came to this restaurant for breakfast. We were quite a large group like 9 or 10 of us and the staff happily accommodated our large group! I ordered the Spam and Eggs and they were delicious! My husband got the steak and eggs and he loved them! Everyone in our group loved what they ordered! Coffee mugs and soda cups were always filled without asking. Staff were friendly and helpful with picking menu items and the restaurant was very homey. Restrooms were very clean! Thank you! We will definitely come back soon! read more

Went on a weekend morning and expected a little wait. Got to the table in about 5 mins but then waited 14 minutes for a waitress to take my order. Meanwhile i am watching a waitress use her bare hands to handle toast then go back to handling money and everything else. Almost walked out but ordered something without toast. Food was decent but wont be back. better options down the road. read more

This place is not fast food. A sign up front even warns you that they aren't fast, that good food takes time. But when more than one regular takes the time to tell you that the food is good, just decide that the entire experience is worth the wait. Sign yourself in on the notebook on the front desk and sit down to wait. There are A LOT of regulars who come here. Cute decor with big windows that bring in natural light add to the ambience that you stepped into Amber Kay's kitchen. There is a big counter for singles or couples, as well as small and large tables throughout. We received water quickly. The table was soaking wet and still a bit dirty, so the waitress retrieved a clean towel and cleaned everything up. The menu is full of simple diner food. Remembering what the regulars were saying, we looked forward to our meal. The house made meatloaf and potatoes with gravy were very good, although the potatoes were not very warm. That meatloaf even had the quintessential ketchup top. I think the nearly cold potato temperature was just a fluke. My fellow diners enjoyed their Philly Cheesesteak omelette and corned beef hash with eggs. The place was very busy, although possibly short-staffed. It's worth a visit and allow grace to the staff. Easy to find from the freeway exit. read more

Our group goes to lunch frequently on Sunday afternoon. Usually a party of 5-6, no kids. Everyone is in our group is known as a regular and service is outstanding in spite of a bit of a wait due to the crowd. It's well worth the wait. I frequently order Corned beef and eggs, or an omelet but today I ordered the Steak and eggs. The cook nailed the cook on the steak. I ordered the flat Iron rare, and guess what, the cook nailed it. Not just this once but EVERY time I have ordered it. That is not the only time, he also does an excellent job on the omelets and the Corned beef hash. read more

This place was amazing! The service was fantastic and fast! The food was delicious. My hamburger patty tasted great and eggs were perfectly cooked. Also their fruit bowl was berries and bananas and not your usual melon. This place was full of locals and clean restaurants. read more

Very good service, amazing food! We all (7) enjoyed our meals. We will be back! Seems more people know this as they seem to be busy every time we go there. read more

Came for breakfast and left disappointed.The food quality was poor across the board. The meal was greasy, and the hash browns were so hard they could've doubled as toothpicks. The scrambled eggs were watery and drowned in cheese. The toast was over-buttered and had a stale aftertaste. Even the coffee was weak and watered down. Overall, it felt like a complete waste of money and time read more

We love eating here. It is obvious the owners take pride in their establishment. Decor is fun, food is very good, portions are generous, and reasonably-priced. There is a POW/MIA table as you walk in, which makes these veterans smile when we see it. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Absolutely recommend. read more

Amber Kay’s Cafe - Bacon avocado toast with eggs over easy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

We decided to give Amber Kays another try so we went for breakfast Saturday morning. First thing we noticed we were greeted by this young muscular black man wearing a wife beater T-shirt armpits hanging out muscles everywhere I thought we were going into a prison yard weightlifting room after about a 15 minute wait we were seated and handed a menu. The menu was greasy and sticky and the breakfast items were all $15.95 up. I couldn't believe they were commanding 16, 17 or $18 for breakfast and the place was lined up with people I guess paying $16 dollars for eggs doesn't matter! The prices were ridiculous so we exited and we will never go back. We went over to Lupita's Mexican restaurant and had a wonderful breakfast for $10.95 read more

Amber Kay's Cafe will leave you wanting more! We were passing through while traveling around Utah and decided to grab a late breakfast. We were immediately sat down by a very friendly waitress and brought coffee within minutes of asking for it! The staff worked together and were extremely attentive throughout our experience. The decor is farmhouse chic. Very cute inside, with clean bathrooms, and funny signs all of the walls to read and entertain yourself while waiting...though you won't be waiting long. We both ordered omelets and the serving sizes are beyond generous. Make sure you go hungry, very hungry! The omelets were absolutely loaded with "toppings" and cheese to the point where the egg did not even seem like the main event! The hashbrowns were crispy and buttery as well. The toast was a separate plate and I forgot to take a picture, but it was a good amount toasted to perfection. We wanted to stop again on our way back through it was so delicious, but time was not on our side. I encourage you to give this gem a try! read more

Amber Kay’s Cafe - Lamb Burger w/tzatziki sauce.. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

Very family-friendly place. Fast and friendly service, and everything is clean and tastefully decorated. They have a changing table in the bathroom. They've been open for just 2 months now and run like a well-oiled machine. They gave my 18 month old cars to play with while we waited for our food. He loved it, and way better than giving him crayons which he would just eat. Very reasonably priced. For my husband, son, and I, it was $28.37 (before tip). Very doable. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito with asada meat inside. He loved it, and especially enjoyed the meat (which is very important to him to have meat without fat on it) and salsa. He said the burrito wasn't soggy. I ordered the waffle combo but asked for fruit and cream on top. It was good and filling! A solid breakfast place, and we will definitely stop here again when passing through Cedar City. read more

Loved it. Small town goodness and family feel. We will be back! Avocado toast was wife's favorite and the "special" waffle was perfect.

My wofe and I have been traveling for the last week this is the first good meal we have had from a restaurant. We loved the environment, And the waitresses were very friendly and busy as all get out but it is well worth it. I don't understand why they don't have straight fives STARS from everyone.. read more

The waffle with the fruit and whipped cream was the best my friend ever tasted in his life and my SOS with eggs was better then mine!

Excellent hometown cafe! Amazing breakfasts and great service! We had the biscuits and gravy and an omelette. Delicious! Highly recommend!

We have gone there three times and every time the wait line was longer than we wanted to wait. The last time there was not even a hostess there to handle things or give us any clue about how long it would take to be seated. Also there were empty tables and no bus boys. There also was no cashier when another patron wanted to check out. Probably our last try. read more
