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!

pretty good food at reasonable prices. Waitresses don't seem to be to happy in their jobs. They might want to find something they enjoy.

My husband I enjoy this establishment and have been several times. We've never had a bad meal here…read moreand the service has always been friendly and great! Food is always served piping hot, we love the pulled pork and usually get the XXL meal which includes your choice of two side and drink. We have purchased plastic cups where we bring with us each time and get a discount on our drinks. Portions of the meat are very generous, the sides other than fries are just about a cup. My husband enjoys the mac n cheese and the fresh (never frozen) fries are made when you order them. The dining room is always clean and there are a variety of 6 sauces to choose from on the tables. Seasonal sides are great too! We particularly enjoy the banana pudding and strawberry shortcake.m, although portions are small. Last time we were there, I tried the sweet corn and it wasn't great and had zero flavor. A rare miss in terms of food offerings. We also tried the bbq shrimp and the salmon, both are excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking barbecue.

My wife and our grandsons have eaten here several times. Every time seems like better than the…read morelast. My wife's favorite entree is the salmon. It's always cooked to perfection. I have several favorites. One is their turkey. It's so tender that it literally melts in your mouth! Top it with one of their six signature BBQ sauces, and it's fabulous. I also love one of their off-the-menu items: the sauced burnt ends. Pair them with a side of collard greens, and you have a feast! One other thing I love about this restaurant is that they play the National Anthem every day at noon. Everyone in the store (including all of the staff) stands and is encouraged to sing along. As a veteran, I really appreciate this experience.

We popped in here one hungry wintery evening and we are happy we did…read more My SO and I each ordered a 2 meat plate so we could share and try a bunch of items. We ordered pulled pork, chopped brisket, smoked Turkey, and ribs for the meats. And for the sides, we ordered Mac & cheese, fried okra, baked potato casserole, and baked beans. All were good, especially the okra, which was delicious - crunchy& great seasoning- Yum!! The price per plate was around $15 and did some with cornbread. Overall, we really really liked it. The only suggestion I would have is maybe to increase portion sizes just a little bit - of even just the sides. I was still a little bit hungry and probably would have preferred a little more food. I would say for lunch, the portion was perfect. (I think during non-Covid times, they have free ice cream- this would have been amazing! But due to Covid the soft serve machine was not in use. Hopefully they can bring it back soon!) If you're in the area, and looking for good Smoked food, I would definitely recommend giving Dickey's a try. It's very conveniently located right off of 94 and would also make a good place to stop as you're transitioning through. Enjoy!

Been awhile since we've ventured to Dickey's and apparently it's been a while for many people…read more Food is still decent, but the facility is very run down. The ceiling tiles look horrible. Staff was nice and food was served relatively quickly and it was tasty. Free ice cream machine was leaking and I didn't check to see if it actually worked. Doors, both front and back, we open letting a breeze and the bug in as my child said, but I didn't see any personal.
