This time I got a burger and root beer. This isn't fancy food, this is country cooking at it's finest. The root beer is amazing. I should have asked about a root beer float, next time. You walk it and sit where ever you can. It it a long counter that wraps around and the wait staff walk inside it. The fries are yummy, and the burger was perfect for what I needed a solid meal since I hadn't eaten in almost 9 hours. Yep sounds like a personal problem. But hey at least the food here has been perfect both times. Maybe next time I will buy a shirt or at least some root beers to go with me. My burger was a true knife and fork meal. At least I am too old to be wearing my chili all over my beard and shirt. Highly recommend if in the area and it is only 5 miles off the interstate. Drive in and enjoy a yummy meal.

We sat outside since the dogs were with us. The seats were uncomfortable and extra cold with the plastic benches in a lattice design . Today was a special occasion and they did zero to help celebrate even though they said they would. The wait to be seated took an extremely long time. The rating is more 3 and a half than 4 (especially given this latest visit) but I tend to be generous overall if possible.

I have always loved this place, I visit often, mainly for breakfast, I have always found the…read moreservers very friendly and nice! , however this time I had a weird experience. First off, I have always picked where I want to sit, the part about "server is busy, and that table is served by a specific server" is nonsensical, they should really change or add a server to the seating area that customers prefer (near window, more lighting etc) rather than having the customer sit somewhere else for their servers convenience. Secondly, I picked up the glass for water and it smelled like an egg, I called out the server (who already seemed annoyed to change of seats) and told her about the glass and the response I got was "we wash our glasses in vinegar so it must be that", well first off, I know the difference between vinegar and egg smell, secondly, it was disgusting and I cannot drink water in it, instead of arguing, she really should have just changed the glass, it's not that hard.

We visited yesterday and were disappointed. I ordered classic eggs benedict and my husband ordered…read morehashbrown eggs benedict. There was only like a teaspoon of hollandaise on each egg which would have been fine if the eggs were cooked properly. All of our eggs were nearly completely hard boiled. The whole point of eggs benedict is a runny yolk. I was just going to ask for more hollandaise to help wet the breakfast, but our server never came back around after leaving our food. He had already left by the time we realized the eggs were hard boiled. So I basically had a hard boiled egg, a piece of ham, and dry english muffins for breakfast. :( I should have stayed home where I could have done a much better job. Purdue is out on break and they were not busy at all so there was no reason for the kitchen to have lost track of how long our eggs were cooking. I won't be returning.

Pleasant staff greeted us upon arrival and the genial vibe continued throughout our meal. Props to Paige for great service during an obviously busy Saturday morning. Quaint decor and quality service gave me high hopes that the meal would be a winner, too...and it was! Dishes were served hot and perfectly plated...and the first bite sealed the deal: Delicious! Flavor development and fresh tastes met me bite after bite...excellent in every way! If mild coffee is the way you enjoy your coffee, you'll enjoy their coffee...I prefer a more robust blend and missed it the table with the symphony of other great flavors. The carefully clean dining room and bathrooms tell me that management covers all facets of running a great restaurant...kudos! I'll be sure to return to The North End Cafe in the future and I hope you have a similar experience when you cross through the door for the first time! Until next time...tk

The whipped feta was so much better than I was ready for with fried pita and apple, the flavors played so well together that we were all scraping the plate for a last bite.

I'm also a sucker for the fluff provided by the egg white, plus who doesn't love a little added protein! The Pumpkin Pie Martini is a great seasonal compliment as the stand in espresso martini. Mom's Bourbon Cider was delicious, served hot it provides a warm hug in drink format. The campfire came next and wow! Strong and delicious, the freshly roasted marshmallow garnish is a win for sure.
