Love their daily specials! We had their fried chicken special! Fried after we ordered. We ordered their famous liver dumplings which were delicious! Great food and service. Will definitely return! read more

If you are looking for an old school place where the locals eat, this is your stop. I wish I could remember the woman's name who seemed to be a one-woman show. We can't be sure she wasn't cooking in the back, as well as answering the phone, seating patrons, taking orders, and handing out the meals to go. Our food was excellent-we both chose the Reuben with fries. It was a reasonable price and portion. We added slices of pie as well-yum! The conversations amongst our lone server and the other diners made me smile. Great first stop on our girls weekend! read more

Disappointing the food was bland needed seasoning. Need more options for sides.. probably won't go back.

After an out of town volleyball game for my daughter on our way out we wanted to stop for something to eat before the drive home. We found this incredible little restaurant on accident but wow was I glad we did. We walked in and took a seat and our drink orders were taken immediately. We were the only people in the restaurant which as you can imagine made me wonder if this was a bad decision. Looking through the menu and seeing the selections available my eyes immediately stopped on the prime rib. It came out cooked per perfection and a baked potato that was fully cooked and hot! Good value for the money here and great food. read more

We've driven by the café several times, and decided to try them for a late lunch. We're very glad we did! The fried chicken was very crispy and juicy. My dining partner enjoyed his sandwich and fries. The servers were very attentive and friendly. I'm sure we'll be back again! read more

Great service & daily specials are very good. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

There's something comforting about Cafe Genevieve. Maybe it's the oldies that are always playing softly in the background, or the historical pictures of Ste. Gen hanging around the restaurant. You won't be rushed through your meal here. The food is all good, not fancy but solid home-cooked meals. The fried chicken is great and well worth the wait. I haven't had anything I didn't like. If you get a salad, ask for the mayfair dressing. It's addictive. read more

Nice find on a day of hiking on the area. We stopped around 3pm for late lunch. I had the French Dip and fries for $7.95. Delicious bread but unique way to serve the meat for a French Dip - seemed more like a burger. My girlfriend had the fried chicken which was delicious and plentiful. So much to eat she couldn't finish it all. Attentive waitress, nice people. Great local spot. read more

Value lunch plate specials with table service is why I think my mom likes this place. They do offer liver, good fried chicken, or other plate lunch specials with 2 sides for under $7. They have white table clothes, real plates, silverware and actual glasses. The place is clean & new. They have a large amount of low standard height tables and chairs including a semi-private area that people can use. I stick to German or "country" food and seem to do A-OK. read more

Stopped after visiting friends. Great service. I had the 2 piece fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans. Very nice lunch. I'll be back again. Very nondescript cafe but well worth the stop. I love Mom and Pop diners. This one is a win. read more

This is my go to in for a wonderfully prepared home cooked meal. I typically have the meatloaf here but today's special was fried chicken with two sides and a salad for $6.29. Even though I never have room for dessert after eating here the desserts are so good I usually take one home with me. Servers are always friendly and attentive. The place is always clean and also includes many historical photos of Saint Genevieve which I appreciate. Good value and always consistent. read more

Wow.....I had the lunch special for $6.25. Homemade chicken fingers, homemade mashed potatoes, green beans, and a salad (homemade blue cheese dressing.) Interior design is quite nice and nothing like I expected. The old "Flash Cafe " sign is still standing outside, and I didn't realize that I was walking into Cafe Genevieve. I will return. read more

the blueberry pancakes are the biggest and best tasting I've had. lots of fresh blueberries, light and fluffy. The local sausage and bacon was wonderful, as well as the eggs! Sweet atmosphere, cozy, welcoming. Price is very reasonable read more

Great fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy. Jami is the owner and the best server. You have try the liver dumplings (famous German recipe unique to the region). read more

First time here. Around 6pm for dinner service. Not crowded. Nice cafe atmosphere, comfortable and clean. Staff was very friendly and courteous. I had the Tilapia and the Wife had the Cod. Tilapia was way to salty for my taste. Not enjoyable. The wife's Cod was a large portion but quite dry. I've had better fish. The sides, german style potatoes for me and French fries for her were good, no complaints. The dinner salad we had was good however the lettuce was a little brown in spots. Overall dining experience was ok, not great though. We will try them again with a different dish next time. Love the old pictures that line the walls. Fun to look at. read more

Great place to eat for the family. Good food, good service and good prices. Restaurant was clean and bright! Will definitely go back and recommend! read more

The food was okay. My husband and I went there for breakfast and he seemed satisfied with what he ordered. I ordered a Spanish omelet and it was adeqate. The service was okay but when we arrived, we read the sign that told us to wait to be seated and we stood around for probably five minutes waiting for someone. When the server finally appeared, no apology. Nothing. The problem is that the place was pretty much dead for a Sunday morning. There were two other tables with a couple of people at each spot and both were getting ready to leave. read more

Great place love the old pictures on the wall. Shows the history of st. Genevieve. The food was good a great place to sit back relax and visit with family and friends read more

Everything was nice, but it was a long wait for the food. Once the food came out it was EXCELLENT!! The staff was nice. Great atmosphere.. I recommend it just prepare for a wait when you walk in.. read more

Very good fried chicken, lots of good sides, family style, will go back just for the chicken, nice friendly service.

Not bad. Was hoping for healthier options with "cafe" in the name, but apparently that's not what people eat in this town. The french fries are great, but my burger was a well-cooked brick. read more
