    Hot beef after half gone. I couldn't wait. LOL
    Brenda P.

    Oh my goodness, the service (Isabel) from the time we walked in till we left was excellent. I ordered the hot beef with American fries, and my son ordered a very big bacon cheeseburger that was delicious. And the price on the bill was wonderfully cheaper than any of the places we've been to. And we definitely are going out to eat family. What a gem Yelp sent us to.

    Veggie Omelet

    I'm so glad my friend introduced me to Phil B's Cafe on Roosevelt Rd several years ago. I'm now a Veggie Omelet Snob & no one in Chesterton nor Valpo has yet to compare. The veggies are Fresh, Crisp bite & sliced perfectly. Not chopped diced or hidden. Topped with ripe Bright green Avacados. You can get hash browns & toast, but I always get Fruit & Rye bread at an upcharge. This meal keeps me Happy & full all day. Give them a try, I have yet to have a bad meal. I also Love the Rueben, Patty Melt, French Toast & Chillequiles. That's right they have a Mexican Menu as well. Shh "It's Vip only." Lol & the Fries are crispy just the way you would want them to be. The kitchen & Front of the house always seem to be cooking with Love & Serving Smiles.

    Ok I will say it again, and I am a snotty self righteous elitist pig about omelets -- BUT DAMN THIS IS THE BEST OMELET I HAVE EVER HAD. And consistently fantastic. The huevos rancheros omelet (not the skillet) is the best I have ever had! Added fresh avocado and Serrano peppers and the homemade salsa is off the hook. Wow!!! The waffle has FRESH blueberries not a compote!!! The batter for the waffles tastes fresh and not out of a box. I now have confirmation of yet another premium ingredient in this understated hidden gem, yes virginia the waffles are from scratch NOT a mix!!! But to update this place fairly I have to say this ITS GETTING TOO CROWDED AND I AM WILLING TO USE VIOLENCE if I am faced with a seating issue. LOL. Another long time customer noticed the same thing as we sat watching the place filled to capacity we turned to eat other and said "damn I havent seen this place so busy ever before" thats when I had the idea that long term customers may need to buy a VIP seating card soon LOL.

    Good breakfast and coffee and small cute atmosphere. Crispy bacon! I highly recommend the fiesta skillet and add chorizo.

    Very friendly staff. Bagel breakfast and Fiesta skillet were good. Fruit was past its prime, except the grapes.

    Jimmy’s Cafe

    Jimmy's Cafe in Valparaiso had some positives, but the cash-only policy and limited menu were…read moresignificant drawbacks. My wife and I recently went for breakfast with another couple and were seated immediately. Our server, who I believe was also an owner, was incredibly sweet and attentive, which was a definite plus. However, the menu was surprisingly small and lacked many breakfast staples you'd expect at a diner, like Eggs Benedict. I ordered the French toast, which was just okay. I wasn't a fan of the syrup, and overall, I was disappointed with the limited choices. I would have rated Jimmy's Cafe higher if it weren't for the fact that it's cash only. In 2025, it's hard to believe any establishment still operates this way. If the issue is credit card fees, the solution is simple: post a sign about a service charge for credit card transactions. This way, customers have the choice to pay with a card if they're willing to pay the fee. It puts the decision in the customer's hands. Because of this outdated policy, I won't be returning.

    This is the best place to get breakfast in Valpo. It's a small restaurant owned by a local family…read more They have awesome service from friendly people bringing out deliciously hot food. I'm always shocked at how fast it comes out too. They are often crowded and for good reason. All the locals know this is the spot to go. We have also had lunch there and it was just as good as all the breakfasts we've enjoyed. Don't miss this place if you are in town.
