Brunch buffet from Brightside.
Will C.

I'm not a big fan of buffets and if I would have known this restaurant had only the buffet I probably would not have stopped. With that said it was a Sunday morning and I found myself in need of breakfast and I saw the very good reviews for Brightside. I got there an hour before it closed so I guess I can understand why the food was warmed over and it was obviously sitting there for hours. I ordered some orange juice and hit the buffet. It was just ok and the service was 0k as well. The only thing that really got under my skin was a fellow diner who thought it was appropriate to carry on a phone conversation in full voice using their speakerphone for the duration. Not quite sure why people think that's OK in a restaurant, but it is what it is. Maybe it would've been appropriate for the R restaurant manager to make a mention of the disturbance to that particular customer but that is their decision. I don't think I'll be going back to Brightside.

Great customer service, I ordered to go and the server made sure I had all of my condiments and the order was correct. The food is delicious, and the cafe was clean and cute!

Was looking for a GF option and this popped up in a search. Street parking. Cute cafe, painted yellow with inspirational quotes on walls. Waitress was quick to take our order, even double checked that they had GF bread before I decided on an entree. I got a Gluten Free Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, which was delicious, although small. My husband got the Brightside melt and thought it had good flavor as well. I am giving only 3 stars, as I think it was expensive for what you got. Sandwich only. No sides, not even a bag of chips. Combined our lunch was around $25 for two small sandwiches. To order a side of fries or sweet potato fries, it was an addition $3-$4. Just seems a little steep. Adding a filling, but cheap side at no cost to your customer would have gone a long way with our impression!! Again, great food and atmosphere.

Loved it. Staff was very nice, very clean dinning room. Its walls are covered in uplifting quotes, which I liked. Food was great, house's salsa verde was unlike others I've had and was really nice. The Philly breakfast burrito was outstanding.

Found this restaurant close to my hotel, so I decided to swing by. Customer service was excellent, the cashier knew the menu well! I ordered the classic breakfast burrito with chorizo and sausage, the breakfast taco with chorizo, and the creamy green sauce which has a kick of spice to it. All of the food was delicious. It was nice and fresh, and although all of the flavors were mild, once put together they made a flavorful impact. I hope to visit Sioux City again so I can enjoy more of their food!

Buffalo chicken salad that I made all messy. LoL Yummy!

It's Thursday December 13, 2018. I came by myself; first time here. I needed a quick lunch and a friend of mine comes here all the time and loves it! So, I decided to try it for myself, even tho I was alone. Plus I got a parking spot RIGHT in front, so why not?!? I ordered the buffalo chicken salad minus the pico and tomatoes. (I'm not a huge vegetable eater. Trying to work on that, actually.) It. Was. Delicious!!! The buffalo was hot but not so hot you're going to regret it later. I love that they use actual mixed greens and not just iceburg lettuce. Their ranch is very good. (I assume it's made in-house. If not, I need to know the brand they use!) Pepsi products. Not a ton of soda options, FYI. Used the bathroom. 1 person only. Was very clean. I guess they deliver! And I noticed most people get stuff to go. I guess they also cater and do specialty meals like a Christmas buffet. I'll totally be coming back again. There's a ton of stuff I want to try.

Nice, small diner for breakfast. Friendly staff and good selection of omelettes. Order at the counter and seat yourself.
