    Ham and cheese omelet.

    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.

    Brunch

    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.

    Chicken, not steak
    S. M.

    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!!!!

    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!

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

    And yes the bathroom needs an update, but I wouldn't call it seedy.

    The staff is super friendly. It is grab a table and order at the counter. They bring you your food…read moreand refill your coffee for you. There is water and cups at the counter for free water. I didn't even try the bakery items, I was so full, but, it all looked delicious! All of the food was really good. A little on the more pricey side, but worth it. There was so much on the plate. My only issue with the food was the toast was too lightly toasted and the coffee was a little bitter. But the brisket and other food was amazing! They do not have a kids menu but they will 1/2 orders of pancakes or a French toast order. The tables are small and the plates are huge. I would suggest trying to get a table on the wall if there are more than 3 people. It's small and tight but so worth the food.

    An absolute gem tucked into the corner of an unassuming small retail plaza. I'd driven past it 25+…read moretimes without noticing it. But read a review on here and have been back many times for one of the best breakfasts you'll find in the area. Food: delicious, attentively looked after Staff: welcoming and sincere in ensuring you enjoy your meal Ambiance: once you get inside, it's the best version of a small, local breakfast spot you could hope for. Would recommend a rebrand though. The name is fine, but the minimalist black and white signage belies a colorful and ideal meal.

    This place is an absolute gem and worth burning a little gas to get to. The food was outstanding…read moreand the staff somehow managed to be both wildly efficient and genuinely warm, like they actually enjoy being there. I ordered the half garbage plate with sausage and bacon. Pro tip: ask the difference between the half and the whole before you commit. The half comes with three eggs. The whole comes with five. Five. I chose wisely. Oh and don't forget the homemade bread smothered in butter! It's clearly a neighborhood staple. People were greeting each other by name, swapping stories across tables, and operating like they've been meeting there every Saturday since 1974. Thankfully, they extend that same friendliness to random out-of-towners who just wandered in hungry. The vibe is energetic and communal, the kind of place where conversations overlap and nobody seems to mind. It has a modern, eclectic feel, but there's also a subtle time-machine quality to it. Like you stepped into the 1960s, just with better coffee and fewer ashtrays. Perfect blend of nostalgic and now.

    This place is super cute because it was an old train car made into a diner. There is so much eye…read morecandy around with funny signs. If you're a snobby person or someone with tons of food allergies don't come here. They are irrelevant in a very good way. I would stick to the basics here. My friend got the cheeseburger with fries and it was perfect. They have fresh meat, no frozen patties. I got the half order of biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs and it was perfect diner style food. The portions are huge so a half order was way more than enough. My friend had the roast beef omelette and I wouldn't recommend it because the beef was in chunks and was full of gristle. However, everything else was terrific. I didn't have the garbage plate because the portion was huge but it's on my list for next time. Maybe I'll split it with someone because you need to come hungry. Prices are very reasonable but it's cash only.
