Went to Gateway Cafe after a doctor appointment. I ordered 2 eggs over-medium and corned beef hash. The food was cooked to perfrction and my meal was excellent. read more

Your standard breakfast foods nothing crazy. The staff is kind of rude and I always feel rushed to pay .

The service was very horrible even heard the waitress (extra chubby brunette) say she dropped the toast but the floor is clean which totally ruined the appetite but since it was too late kept the meal she brings the check and before we could leave she says she forgot to charge us an extra $17 all K can say is WoW just lost 35yr. Customer due to childish and semi racist antics. read more

We asked to be seated at booth and requested a high chair. We were placed at a booth south end of the restaurant. The high chair's back was as to a table of 4 that nobody was seated. While eating a party of 4 was seated there. Okay with me. A busser wanted to move the high chair, while we were eating! I said no. She later squeezed between the high chair with a OPEN POT OF HOT COFFEE OVER MY CHILDS HEAD!!!!!!!!! No remorse. The manager, older white male, seemed to be annoyed when he realized I had a complaint. Then provided an excuse for the server. In disgust, paid my bill, tipped the server. To never return again. read more

Sorry, the place since new owners has gone downhill. I used to love the soup and get quarts of it when our family was sick. It's just not the same. I don't know if the cooks are different or what. We used to go there all the time. It's okay. read more

Great service the food was great the milkshakes were good they did a great job on everything that was ordered

Gateway Cafe is my favorite family restaurant. I live in Racine, and drive all the way to Gateway because I love their service, and their food. read more

Their bacon egg and cheese croissant is literally to die for I always get mine with a side of American fries and a fruit cup I swear I can eat like 3 in one sitting they are also a pretty big size read more

This review isn't about the food or service - those have always been good and many of the staff know us and our regular orders from memory! A testament to the staff. But, really sad to hear that Gateway Cafe will no longer be open after 3:00 pm and no longer serving dinner. There are a lot of people - myself and my kids included - that have been regulars here for many, many years. So sad that the new owner Nick is throwing away so much business, costing jobs in the community - for many that have been there for years, and taking away dinner at a neighborhood cafe that has been a staple for so many. read more

Just called to order and the female call taker was very rude. Won't be going there anymore.

Stopped in for a hot lunch. Pretty busy place. My server was nice and she was quick. They give you nice size portions and the food is hot however it really is generic. Not a lot of flavor. read more

Not at all a fan of this place. I wanted to like it because I know it's a staple here in town but there are so many better places to eat. It's ALWAYS slammed in here. It's always loud. The service is usually pretty subpar because their are a lot of elderly regulars that the servers chit chat with and the ambiance is dated and boring. Their breakfast is diner level at best. It is what it is but on the north side I'd seek elsewhere read more

While I'm bummed they close so early now, this is our go-to place for breakfast. My teenaged daughters love to roll out of bed and go and like that we get enough food to have a second meal later or the next day. The waitresses have always been friendly and attentive, even when it's clearly busy. read more

The scene- its Memorial Day 2021- Nothing is Open except the Gate Way Cafe. Admittedly, the place is packed but even people with low expectations need some where to eat. I'm being too generous - there are no expectations for the folks who eat here. Is there a Greek restaurant council I can file a complaint with to pull their Greek card? Service was spotty at best, nothing came at the same time for our party of 3, nothing on my order in particular came as requested, and drinks were either hard to get or didn't come until near the end of the meal. My gyros meat was dry, wet and gnarly ( how?!), hash browns were cool, soft and piled high- not crispy as ordered...barley brown. The side of sliced tomatoes and onions came as no onions and as heap of grilled diced tomatoes on my already soggy hash browns. The servers are crazy busy but I'm not sure what they are doing because it never seemed to be related to our table. I'd like to add some tidbit of advice- try, show up, care, open your eyes, taste the food? Anyone of these would yield positive gains somewhere! read more

We are regulars and are always disappointed. I suppose the reason we go is that we never see the bottom of our coffee cup. We have given up to expect the food to be cooked decent. Your plate is a pile of food. Today, I changed it up by ordering a ham and cheese omelet. Since when are eggs brown? Last week, 2 eggs over medium where the egg whites were brown. They came with a side of burnt bacon. We spoke to the owner last week because of the burnt bacon, and nothing has changed. Their hashbrowns are a huge pile of wet mush burnt on one side and a soggy slop on the other side. I would not be writing this review if he had spoken to the cook. Or taught him how to cook potatoes and eggs. The waitress gave up talking to the cooks they are mean to her and has no choice but to bring out what the cook plates. The owner has to step up. read more

Biscuits and gravy. Coffee is great, and they're quick with a refill. That is all... but I need 85 characters.

Really good brunch/breakfast food. We have been here several times for brunch and have always had a great experience. They have the best skillets/omelets/breakfast when it comes to family, diner-like spots in the area. The owners and staff are always very nice and the service is quick. The farmer's skillet, Mediterranean skillet and gyros and eggs are our go-to's. Highly recommend for a chill breakfast. read more

Usually love this place but today, not so much. I ordered my usual chicken fried steak and eggs which is usually tender and delicious. Today way tough and dry. Upon inspection I discovered it to be CHICKEN. How deceitful can you be?? Menu still lists it as steak and pricing reflects steak. Your customers deserve better!!!! read more

I grew up going to this neighborhood breakfast and lunch spot. From Village Inn to Gateway Cafe it is the fast hot fare that you come to expect. It was busy and bustling when I arrived. The hostess was friendly but was wearing an unprofessional looking tank top - in December. We ordered a skillet filled with potatoes, eggs and veggies and French Toast. Everything arrived quickly, piping hot and sooo tasty! The room is much larger than you would think with tons of booths and tables. Coffee and ice water were refilled before you realized you needed it. The parking lot was was full but late arrivals can park across the street at Gateway Technical College. Be prepared to smell like cooking grease when you leave. It happens every time! read more

If you're looking for a great family restaurant - this is it! Expansive menu, larger than life portions and great dinner specials that usually include soup or salad, and dessert. Excellent homemade pies, and the BEST soup in Kenosha. When we are sick my husband goes to buy us a quart or two - an amazing deal with fresh baked bread. Large senior following so you know the food is good and affordable. It's a family favorite. read more

Excellent portions for the price! We enjoyed the cinnamon toast, Denver omelet, ranchero omelet and western omelet. Everything came out quickly and hit. Excellent service and our water and coffee was never empty! read more

This is a pretty popular breakfast location in Kenosha and no doubt it is probably because of the fast service, portion sizes, and unbeatable prices for what you get. They have a pretty good selection of pies to choose from as well. read more

Food good great specials stats open for dinner cone to see my skb at college its perfect location some waitresses could be a lil more warm n fuzzy but food good read more

I absolutely love love love their homemade cream of chicken and rice soup on Sundays! The chicken and dumpling is also very delicious and on Fridays the clam chowder is yummy as well ...A+ in my book. Deanne Wendy Danielle Linda Tiffany & Dawn are the best servers because they work hard to make the customers happy PS the Greek spaghetti is to die for... & so are the variety of stir fries. There are 4 different choices which are steak, shrimp, veggie or chicken ... I get shrimp most of the time but I love all of them. With the Greek spaghetti and the stirfries the portions are generous and no doubt, hits the spot. read more

Went to breakfast with a friend. I got a half order of biscuits and gravy and something else too. We got seated quick and the service was good. Coffee was decent, one of the better ones I've had at a breakfast place. I grew up hearing this place had a reputation. It's definitely old people food, softer and lacking flavor. It's a decent and welcoming environment, but if you like seasoned food maybe skip this place. read more

Let's start with their outdated menu that doesn't make anything look appetizing, so you decide on something by the descriptions because otherwise you would order nothing. After ordering you can expect your food to be nothing more than "meh" and lack flavor, and anything great. The toast was chewy and not edible at all. The wait staff was not friendly and it was almost like we burdened them by making them take our order. We will pass on going back here again as there are quite a few places in town that surpass the breakfast you will get here. read more

The apple Carmel pie with nuts is delicious we have bought the whole pie for special occasions

Not too bad. I did enjoy it but the strawberries did throw me off. The strawberries were not fresh. Very nice staff.

My favorite spot for breakfast food no matter the time of day! The staff and servers are friendly and fast. The food is always hot and fresh and they keep the coffee coming. Next time you're in Kenosha, give them a try. A local joint that cares. read more

My favorite family style restaurant in Kenosha. I've never been disappointed with any meal. Their breakfasts are the best in town. This is the only place left in town to get a good chicken fried steak and eggs breakfast or a well made omelette. Their gyro sandwiches and gyro melts are also delicious. read more

This place is allowing dining in. The soup is always fresh and hot. We have had breakfast, lunch, and gyro. All have been great no bombers yet. Take out is always fresh n hot. That is rare nowadays. They do wear their mask. Will keep returning to this restaurant. read more

The service was terrible. They never asked us what we wanted to drink until I told them we never ordered drinks and we didnt even get our table setting until about 5 min after our food was served. The waitresses made us feel like they did not want to work our table and seemed very irritated for whatever reason. the food is ok but not good enough to deal with sub-par service. I will not be going back and suggest that you look elsewhere read more

Walked in and right out. Super crowded, no masks, not following the rules at all. Terrible.

Very good food at value prices. Super for breakfast. Love the turkey dinner. Everyone there is very friendly. Try the apple Carmel nut pie. We buy a whole pie for special occasions. read more

This has become mine and my husband's go to place in Kenosha. Their soup is fantastic! They serve a loaf of bread with dinner which is really nice. Going for breakfast there- try the Cinnamon French Toast. They make the bread there and you can even buy it by the loaf. So...good. My daughter and I are big fans of it. You can get it with eggs and bacon or sausage, just the french toast alone, or with bacon or sausage, eggs, and hashbrowns. My husband is loony for their Gateway Pancakes which are huge and are smothered with strawberries, bananas and pecans. You can get breakfast all day. They have an extensive dessert offering- cakes, pies, ect. And this is going to sound strange but....their jello is amazing. No, I'm not 90....but I feel like they use juice instead of water because there is so much flavor. Ok, don't believe me...but I'm not 80 either. There are pies and cakes and all that...I order the jello. Sue me. I suggest you go after 11am, get the awesome soup, order breakfast, and then jello. You might leave with diabetes...but it's soooo worth it. But seriously, I've also had their beef tips over noodles. The meat was tender and I really enjoyed it. This is a comfortable restaurant that is very fairly priced. It's always fairly busy but don't let the full parking lot scare you off....they have a LOT of seating inside. And before you ask....NO I don't work there nor am I affiliated with them...just a fan. Check out their website before you go. It lists the daily specials, soups, and they always have a coupon. Don't bother printing it, just show them off your phone or take a pic and show them when you pay. read more

Good breakfast diner food; weekend wait time can sometimes be long in the mornings. We order takeout from here a lot. We especially like the turkey dinners! You can also get very good homemade pies. There is a big menu with lots of options and is kid friendly. read more

Ok, I have been a waitress for a long time,and I think the service here is very poor. Sometimes you get that sarcastic waitress that thinks its cute to be "rude" or tease the customers..And she is definatly holding down that position on first shift....I just hate that...I dont want to pretend she is funny..i just want her to get my food and be friendly. I have a family member that is an a.m. regular and having went there with him for breakfast she says things like :get it yourself" ect...Anyone remember Flo from that Mels diner show? Something ike that..lol. My waffle was soggy too! oh and there is no smoking here. Also this particular waitress gets toooo chummy with the married regulars in her section..just saying read more

Been here several times for breakfast and lunches too. Consistent food, quality and portions. I've never had bad service yet. Judging by the crowds that are usually here, they are doing it right. A great family restaurant with an attentive and caring staff IMHO. read more
