The restaurant is set inside an old train car, which is just really cool and different. The hamburgers are always spot on -- juicy and full of flavor -- and I can't pass up the Reuben. It's perfectly toasted with plenty of meat and just tastes great every single time. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the stop even better.

I stopped here while on a business trip and was shocked when I received my bill…read more I ordered a $12.99 burger, a Cherry Vanilla DP for $2.80, and upgraded my fries to onion rings for $2, according to the menu. Based on those prices, I expected my total with tax to be around $19-20. Instead, my bill came to $23.38. When I called to ask about the charges, I was told they no longer had the original ticket, so they couldn't review the itemized bill. The employee explained that I had been charged $3 for the onion ring upgrade instead of the $2 shown on the menu, and that my soda had apparently been upgraded to a large without my knowledge or permission, adding another $1. They also mentioned there were several other small charges that contributed to the total, even though I never requested any extras. The restaurant refunded me $2, but that still left me paying $21.38 instead of $19 for a burger, onion rings, and a soda, which I find excessive. I've always met clients at another restaurant when I'm in town for business, but this time my meeting was here at someone else's suggestion. Compared with both the restaurant I normally visit and restaurants where I live, I found the prices and unexplained charges disappointing. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

I liked that my hamburger steak came with gravy on the side since I would rather dip mine in gravy than have it smothered. The steak fingers had a crispy crust and were very tender .. no need for a knife here.. the gravy was separate so you could dip for the right amount on each piece. The waffle fries were crispy with a great sweet flavor.. my husband sad the casseroles were like Thanksgiving dinner. Loved the setup with the tables in center .. kitchen one side and the market on the other.. we will be back!

There were a lot more people seeking nourishment than would have been on a typical Saturday. So when I say the service was a little slow, I have to add the caveat that I don't think City Center was ready for the invasion. Center City is in an ancient and historic building. The seating is bare bones. They have something going for them. The other go-to American breakfast restaurant closed its doors. The food was what I expected. It was tasty without imagination. Sometimes that is exactly what a traveler is looking for. The bill? It was reasonable. It was the exact amount that the meal was worth. I have to be honest; I can't shout the excellence of this cafe. I can say you get what you pay for. If I were traveling to or through Comance, I wouldn't hesitate to grab breakfast there. I can't speak to the dinner menu. I'm sure it would be more of the same.
