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!

Finally got to check out Captain Mike's. I have heard good things about their burgers and they…read morelived up their reputation! The bar is a tad small so it can get busy in there pretty quickly. We got a table right at the main entrance and we were served promptly and pleasantly. I got help with ordering, which can be common for first timers, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. They have a nice tap list so getting a cold, refreshing beer was a must! My one critique if you will, the fries were limp.. not soggy but definitely not crispy. I didn't even bother finishing them, but the burger was filling enough that it didn't matter much. If I am in the area, I would stop here again and try a different burger, because they all looked so dang good!!

Captain Mike's is a dive bar in downtown Kenosha close to the lake. The food here is pretty good…read moreand that's why I had lunch there recently while in town. The only parking option I saw was on the street. Inside it's attractive with its own nautical character. Its food menu is burger centric and is kind of complicated to figure out. You complete a form that itemizes the kind of burger, fries, etc that you want. Even my waitress tried to help me and she got confused. Ha! I finally ordered a bowl of their beer cheese soup to start for $10.45. I then added an 8 oz grass fed beef burger with hand cut fresh fries for another $12.45. Yes, it was more food than I needed but I wanted to try the beer cheese soup which was delivered first with 4 pieces of sourdough bread. The soup was delicious being rich in cheesy flavor with cheese strings and bacon bits on top. It was a full bodied flavor soup and with the bread I could have made a meal of just this. After finishing the soup, the burger and fries appeared. It was a hearty and very good tasting burger on a quality bread bun. Also the fries were very good tasting with a good potato flavor. I couldn't finish it all but I wanted to. With a drink and tax it was about $28 before tip. I'm glad I had lunch here.
