    Local artwork inside the cafe.
    Olga A.

    We passed through Evanston on our way to Colorado and picked this cafe because of the name (lol) and also the food looked incredible in the photos. We got breakfast sandwich bagles and they were incredible! Fresh and very clearly made from scratch to order. The space reminded me of a cafe you'd find in Venice, CA. There is a yoga studio upstairs and art made by local artists for sale all around. The cafe has loads of space so we didn't feel like we were in anyone's business while we ate. The coffee was smooth and easy to drink. But the gold star is really for the service!! I love to talk to people and get to know about the local life when we travel and this cafe in Evanston was easily one off the friendliest and most open places I've been too. If you're not sure where to go, choose For Pete's Sake.

    Great place, it's really warm and cozy, I hear the bagel sandwiches are really yummy, so many flavors of coffee, the Wi-Fi works pretty well, I just wish there were chargers to plug-in phone or computer. There's lots of seating areas, a lady that works upfront is really nice. There's even toys here for kids to play with, books to read, Wyoming merchandise, looks like locally crafted goods are here for sale and artwork. Cute place.

    This is a kitchen sink omelette we split. Only $12!!!

    Great food and friendly staff. Really enjoyed the atmosphere in the restaurant. Tons of cool gifts for sale! We got one kitchen sink omelette and split it. Tons of great food for $12!!!!

    This place is so cute and cozy! It's huge inside with lots of places to sit. It was nice and quiet to work in for a few hours. The coffee was tasty and there was TONS of different flavors to add to your coffee. Unfortunately it was short staffed but I was still able to get a bagel. The guy working was so kind and helpful.

    What a great coffee shop. We came in and I was amazed at how much room Pete's Sake has inside. We ordered a couple of coffees. They were hot and tasty! If you are looking for a good cup of Java in Evanston, For Pete's Sake is the place to go!

    Awesome kitchen sink omelette, great coffee, fast service, awesome wait staff, beautiful design and ambiance. Top shelf and wonderful conversations.

    Love finding small town coffee shops when on road trips. For Pete's Sake had the friendliest barista possibly the owner (didn't ask). The place had a line but my first thought was the coffee must be good. I ordered a plain latte and it tasted perfect. I was only there for the latte but I noticed delicious looking sandwiches walking to the tables with big slices of watermelon. I wished I had found this place around lunchtime. I stopped in for my 2:30 pm pick me up. If I'm the area I'll definitely stop in again.

    Dirty Chai's!!!

    Awesome drinks and friendly service! Super happy we found this place. There's not a big sign so keep looking and your find it! Thanks Pete!

One of the only places that coffee didn't disappoint, wanted strong coffee and got it . Food was beyond good, huge and great for pricing, was stacked full but we got our food way quick.

We were seated at a table in far end of the room. Once seated it's hard to get in and out from the wall seat because the table are pretty close together. I ordered the Spinach, Mushroom and Swiss 4 Egg Omelet. They asked me if I wanted 2 or 4 eggs and I chose 4. As a substitute for the potatoes, I opted to choose the avocado which came as a slice 1/2 of avocado. For my toast option, I chose the single pancake, but could also have chosen a scone. The scone wasn't on the menu as a option, so I missed this when I ordered. My omelet was very flavorful, although a bit dense. I attributed that to the 4 eggs fitting into a 2 egg form factor, but I really don't know that for sure. The avocado was a good complement to the omelet and worked out very well. The pancake was delicious. There was syrup on the table and butter came on the plate. I gobbled it right down and thought that I maybe should have got another one. I have eaten here before when I was in the area, and will likely return again when up here. The busy nature of the restaurant is offset by the good quality food.

We stayed at…read morethe Holiday Inn Express in Evanston(another review)and asked Weston, the evening clerk at the hotel, where to eat. He recommended the Lincoln Highway Tavern. We walked in at about 9:40 pm. The kitche closes at 10. We wouldn't have been surprised to be turned away, but the wonderful woman covering the bar and kitchen, forties, glasses, dark hair, was very friendly and gracious. She also took excellent care of us, despite really having to hustle. I had the pulled pork tacos and my wife had the teriyaki wings. The tacos(I ordered two)were stuffed with pulled pork that was very tasty, and came with crema, a sweet relish salsa, and cheese(a slight upcharge). My tacos came with tortilla chips that were crispy and well salted. My wife liked her wings. If we're passing through again, we would definitely stay in Evanston and have a meal at Lincoln Highway Tavern.

The name leads you to believe it was a Mexican restaurant, but they actually had Italian, American, and Mexican offerings on the menu. I had looked at the online menu before arriving and found that the prices were about $4.00 higher online than on the menu inside the restaurant. The hostess was friendly and welcomed us with a smile. She seated us quickly and there were not too busy. The waitress was efficient with taking our order, but the food seemed a little slow to come out based on the number of customers. I ordered the Avocado Eggs Benedict. It was very tasty and the avocado complemented the traditional eggs benedict well. It came with hashbrowns that were cooked like I like them, not too crispy but not mushy or soggy either. The waitress came by regularly and kept our drinks full. I took an order of buffalo chicken wings to-go. When we opened them to eat later, the lettuce they put in the to-go box was all wilted. The carrots and celery were pretty tiny and didn't add much to the dish. The blue cheese dipping sauce was a good flavor and offset the buffalo sauce well. The chicken wings were smaller and not anything special. I would recommend the breakfast here, but suggest skipping the chicken wings.
