    a sandwich and french fries
    Betty C.

    The food is diner style but what a great organization to support! Waitress was very sweet. Hubby had bacon and eggs. I had the french dip. Portions were generous. Pop in. Support the legion!

    3 egg omelet with grits and rye toast

    I know you are wondering how a small dive cafe that doesn't really advertise can get FIVE stars from me. Well here is how. Just inside of the main entrance to the Legion Post you will see a set of double doors on the right. Enter breakfast and lunch heaven! They open early every day and close between 1 and 2. You don't have to be a member to eat in the cafe. My review is revolves around something I know well: breakfast. I could eat breakfast for all three meals forever! On the menu, there are many combo platters that have a meat, eggs, toast, and grits or home fries. Favorites include country fried steak, corned beef hash, and chipped beef or sausage gravy. They also have 3 egg omelets that have a range of toppings for. The omelets also come with toast and a side of potatoes or grits. The pancakes are huge and they taste awesome. I always get an order if blueberry pancakes to eat later as a snack! The next thing the do really good is coffee. I am not a fan of strong or assertive coffee because I don't want hair to sprout up on my chest. At only $1 they make a killer cup! Flavored creamers are in dishes on the tables! The last thing they do (and they do it really well) is take care of the customers. You can sit at any size table with your party like anywhere else, but here they have a long community table where you can join others if you are alone. The conversations are always flowing at that table! Sonia is the one who usually takes the orders and serves. Always greeted lime you are family, she automatically remembers your drink order. This may seem lime a small thing but in this large of an area where we never see people we know I feel pretty special when this happens. It is clear that a lot of the same people come every week. This should be a tip that the food is good. Ordinary American comfort food in a diner like setting is getting hard to find around here. Most breakfasts cost between 5 and 7 dollars. There are also breakfast sandwiches that are between 2 and 3. A full dinner will cost from 6 to 10 and a hearty sandwich is between 4 and 5. Try it once and I guarantee you will be back!

    Talk about inexpensive quality food. Not sure why I've been wanting my time at diners, Denny's and iHop. Always saw it on Yelp with very good reviews but for some reason avoiding going. Avoid no more.

    That was a tender steak, and I've tried a few...

    It's just great to find a place like this hidden right in front of you! I'd read about the breakfast/brunch thing going on at the Legion Post a little while ago but I just got around to checking it out last week and I've gotta say I just love it. Nothing fancy, nothing cutting edge and nothing yuppie about it, it's a simple café with such friendly service, simply tasty and nicely made food for an amazing price (check out the menu). They serve breakfast and lunch 7 days a week plus a special Friday Night Dinner. I can certainly say that breakfasts are filling and the coffee is hot, fresh and tasty! I've had the classic eggs/bacon/homefries/toast a couple of times now and it's just as good as anyone around here can do it, the difference is that it only costs $5.95 here and just a dollar for coffee with refills. The folks I were with had the chipped beef and gravy over a buttermilk biscuit and grits which apparently was really tasty, they were way too busy munching to give me details lol... This morning I had their special which was a super crisp but crazy tender Country Fried Steak w/gravy, 2 eggs/homefries/toast for $7.49, unbeatable! I came back for a lunch this last week and had a French Dip sandwich which was as satisfying as you could hope for, I intend to come back and try more sammies and entrees so I'll keep ya posted. Last nights dinner was a fantastic surprise so here's the deal. Every Friday night the chef decides what he's going to have as a special and they post a sign a couple of days ahead to let you know. This week they had Prime Rib au jus OR Chicken Cordon Bleu with homemade mashed or baked potato, veggie of the day and a warm dinner roll PLUS a simple salad bar, your choice of drink AND desert (can you say chocolate cream pie?) with coffee to top it off!! Prime Rib was $14 and the Chicken was $12, I mean Dang!! Again I'll say nothing too fancy but we left there feeling pretty seriously satisfied. All the customers are really nice folks who obviously have been coming here regularly as many of them seem to know each other, but they've made me feel welcome each time I've been. And the service is just unbeatable, Sonia has been there each time I've gone and she's so sweet, great memory about her customers, but all the folks working are kind and make you feel comfortable. I'm a liberal and not a fan of Fox News at all, and I have to say that the big screen TV is running it constantly but luckily the sound is down and it's easy to ignore, so putting politics aside I'm hands down going to be a regular for as long as they'll have me!

    Perfect eggs with corned beef hash. So good

    Great food with friendly service. Made to order and so fresh. Not greasy like most breakfast joints. My kids enjoyed the pancakes and French toast. We want to try the lunch menu because it looked so great.

    Great facility to host events! Happy hour is cheap! Dinners are good food with lots of choices!

    Double cheese burger, delicious! And super worth the price 7 bucks lol
    Marcus D.

    Decided to check out the warrior cafe here at the American Legion, being it's so close to my house. Yes I will be coming back, the best burger I have had in a while, great family atmosphere, many friendly people and open to the public. Very affordable and super delicious! Wife and youngest had the Buffalo chicken wrap as well said it was tasty. I will have to come back and try the breakfast another time:)

I would have loved to be seated next the the staircase because it has some nice sight lines. The restaurant is so clean and nicely decorated as if you stepped into a homey yet lux cabin restaurant. It just feels....comforting. There were a lot of people dining here but the noise level was surprisingly minimal. The service is impeccable. Every waiter was attentive. Someone even asked us if we wanted another drink when our glasses were full. Never in my life has that happen to me. Lol The server was very knowledgeable about everything and left me to decided between all the wonderful options they offer. And they have OPTIONS. I heard the steak is banging. I'll be back... Now let's talk about these Ozzie dinner rolls. Bomb! End of story. And in my Nike voice....Just do it. In other words stuff your face and get some to go. I got blessed with 2 baskests and a bag to go. Won't he do it. My son enjoyed his little Mac aka his burger and fries but was too full to finish the fries because he stuff his face with Ozzie dinner rolls. So be careful yall. You have been warned. I orderer the pecan trout which was a very interesting take on baked fish and yet it was still good. I'm not raving about it. But it was good. Nice thing is they give you to pieces of trout 1 for now and 1 for later because yes I stuffed my face with those darn Ozzie rolls. Smh I had my eyes set on that deep dish apple pie and I shall return to try it and other menu items..like that banging steak. My leftovers hit the spot. I had enough for a whole lunch the next day. Saved me extra resources. Everything tasted even better the next day. Like the seasoning settled in and exploded into deliciousness. Peoples I say this with love...Don't come here because I don't want yall taking up all the free parking spaces available. Lol this is my new go to spot.

The standout, though, was our server, Gabi. His service was spectacular--prompt, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful without ever feeling overbearing. He checked in at exactly the right moments, kept everything moving at a perfect pace, and somehow made the whole experience feel both polished and personal. What impressed us most was his special attention to details, whether it was guiding us through the menu, ensuring our drinks and timing were on point, or noticing the little things that elevate a meal from good to memorable. For drinks, I went with the margarita flight, and it did not disappoint. We also ordered appetizers, and they arrived with that "right on time" feel--warm, well-presented, and clearly prepared with care. Every bite delivered, and the timing was spot-on, letting us enjoy the experience rather than feeling rushed or left waiting. Overall, Maggie McFlys earns its reputation the right way: great food, an inviting atmosphere, and--most importantly--service that shines. Thanks Gabi!

When she questioned them, she was told for that particular wine you can only order a large glass. I ordered a Ruben sandwich. The meat was so tough and full of gristle that I couldn't eat it. I left 3/4 of my sandwich uneaten. Although, the onion rings were good. With all the problems our table of four had, you might have thought the manager might have come over to talk with us ... no where to be seen. Our waitress was nice and apologized several times. Avoid this place.

The fifth star is for Naweed who embodied the true definition of old school customer first service..in addition to being kind, patient, and personable with great menu knowledge. For the food: can't go wrong with the bacon & egg classic - the potatoes were tender with awesome flavor and the side of fruit was a nice touch. The cinnamon rolls - another classic came out hot & soft, the glaze seemed to have a hint of citrus maybe orange it wasn't overpowering but noticeable so worth mentioning. The chicken biscuit came with two pieces of chicken which is something to brace for - I suggest opting for one piece or ordering if you're really hungry. Not pictured, but the cheese grits were ordered too - they weren't awful, but also didn't add much to the spread. All around really pleasant encounters from the host, the manager, and everyone in between who touched our table. We'll be back to watch a game! THANKS NAWEED

The waitress, Olivia, was kind, attentive, and overall an amazing server. Albeit she was busy, she went out of her way to make ours a special dining experience. The food, was absolutely delicious.
