A convenient little diner/cafe in an area that desperately welcomes more food options! I stopped for a quick lunch pick up. Easy to find and plenty of available parking out front. The menu is pretty large, but I'd say a lot of it is breakfast and they had finished serving breakfast at 11 am. I got the Chipotle Chicken Wrap which seemed like a new item, and a California Burger for David. Chipotle Chicken Wrap: Pretty standard and nothing incredibly mindblowing. The amount of jalapenos they put in there made it pretty spicy. Picked them out and gave it to David. I did like that they make it on a spinach wrap. California Burger: The patty was almost paper thin and definitely from frozen. It tasted fine and wasn't gross or anything, but not something I'd get again. Would be nice if both the burger and wrap came with a side to make it more of a meal tha just the sandwich alone. The service was quick and it seemed like the kitchen staff cooking behind the counter was efficient. I didn't wait long for my two items. Seemed like others eating at the cafe were regulars who may work in the area. Convenient for a quick lunch during break, I'd come back and try their other options or maybe that breakfast burrito which sounds like one of their most highlighted items. read more

The Gateway Cafe - Getaway Cafe, breakfast burrito - Cafes Near Me - Clarksburg, Maryland

Quick, no-nonsense, and convenient. Great omelettes and pancakes. If you're in a hurry and want a quick breakfast, this is your place.

My rating is for the breakfast sandwich's. They were better than driving through a fast food line. We had a croissant with real bacon and egg. Also a bagel with bacon egg and cheeE. Both were good and reasonably priced. $5-6 The buritto egg sandwich had excellent potatoes inside. $7. Drinks 2.50 It's super casual. Diner feel. You order at the counter. Great for a quick off the road stop. It's in with office buildings. read more

Tucked away a bit right off Exit 18 on 270, this little spot is one of those hidden gems people love to find. Being in an industrial park it has limited hours but a great lunch spot. The steak and cheese is very good and just the right amount of food, so you don't feel like taking a nap afterward. Run by the friendliest family, you'll be greeted with an enthusiastic hello when you walk in the door. Highly recommended! read more

This is a nice spot! It's tucked away in a office building lot. So parking is not an issue and finding this place was not hard either. Walking in I was greeted by a very nice lady. She welcomed me and told me to take my time since it was my first time being there. I ordered the French toast platter and the pancake platter. It cost $23 for the two meals and the only thing that was bothersome was the meat portion sizes. They only gave me one slice of ham with this large platter. I ordered an extra for my husbands plate and it came with one piece of sausage for $3. Usually IHOP will give you more for the additional cost. Either way the food was good for what it was. The pancakes were somewhat dry but the French toast was good! I would definitely come back here! They have a nice selection of seating inside and they serve lunch here as well. I want to try their lunch menu next time for sure. I thought it was super cool that there were birds outside the restaurant that we got to see cool. There were peanuts on the ground for them to pick up, so that was nice to see while waiting for my food. Haha read more

Good food for a good price with friendly people in a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Traveling through places you often don't have much time to stop and eat so it leaves me looking for a place that's quick and local so what I found here was a small little cafe right off the freeway that's tucked into a business park like how can you go wrong with that? Coming here I only ordered a bacon breakfast sandwich on wheat bread it was that with some cheese nothing more nothing less than something yummy and quick! With that I asked for some hot sauce and it was all for what was quick and yummy if I worked in this business park I would totally stop by here again! Overall a mellow little place that's quick and easy with lots of options besides breakfast so who knows if I'll ever get here again but it's definitely not out of the question when I'm on the road traveling looking for a breakfast sandwich. read more

We stopped by this place by accident. We are so glad that we did. It is a mom and pop deli. The owners were very friendly and food was excellent. I was looking for breakfast so I ordered the veggie omelet. It was perfectly cooked and I loved it. I ate every bite. My husband wanted a sandwich so he ordered a turkey club on wheat. The bacon was perfectly cooked and good amount of meat. We will definitely return to try other items. read more

Delicious food hard to find now a days mom and pop in place breakfast and lunch is realy good Great people only wish it was open until late so I can eat there all the time 2:30 pm is to early lol read more

This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch. Think of the neighborhood cafe near your office and this is it. They serve breakfast item's like pancakes and French toast. No grits, but fried potatoes comes with the platters. I like there chicken salad sandwich on a sub roll. In the summer, it seems like the have the freshest fruit. The green salads are good as well. They have a variety of drinks, chips, muffins, and candy. The staff are so nice and helpful. You won't wait long for anything you order. They have a good menu with enough of a variety that you should find something that you can enjoy! No pics, this time. I will update when I go again. read more

I stopped in here today after having blood drawn and maybe it was just that I was very, very hungry, but I don't think so. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese croissant with extra bacon on the side and I sampled the bacon first. It was perfect; not overdone yet perfectly crispy. The sandwich was very close to being maybe the best breakfast sandwich I've had ever. The only thing I would've added would be a little bit of black pepper. The croissant was steamy and hot and buttery, the eggs were perfectly cooked, and the melty cheese was so savory and not too salty. Altogether, it was just the perfect bite for me at the perfect time. The people were friendly, the restaurant looked clean, my order came up so fast and they have a huge menu with all kinds of bottled drinks, chips and pieces of cake ready to grab and go. They had various salads and specials such as fried chicken. You can sit and nosh or grab it and dash. This place has everything and the coffee was good. I'm definitely going to go back! read more

Have been going here for years. It is very good for breakfast fast and cheap. Love the workers

Just a small little grill off the beaten path. Establishment is always clean, the staff is very friendly. They have great menu options with good portion size. Considering what they sell and the area they are pricey but it's a convenient stop if your in the area but I would never go out of my way to stop by. read more

The Gateway Cafe - Turkey Club wit one pethetic strip of bacon - Cafes Near Me - Clarksburg, Maryland

Love there sausage egg and cheese on a croissant it's the best. They also have a great lunch menu!

Very good diner-type food and cheerful service. The chicken salad sandwich is excellent.

Happy to have found this place! Did not know it was here! Take the energy of a successful Chinese restaurant and put it in an American deli and that's what you have here. Lots of people behind the counter, all working fast to deliver you good food quickly. Friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. Can't wait to try the breakfast. This is a lot like the Wow Deli in Gaithersburg. So much so that I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same owners. Had the MD Crab soup and a tuna melt (pictured) and both were very good. read more

This spot is a well kept local secret. Off the beaten path in a flex office park, this place has diner style breakfast and lunch options at affordable prices. You will be pleasantly surprised. read more

I love this place! Great little local cafe with plenty of options, good prices, and pretty good food. It's next to the offices, so I have had food from there plenty of times. The Philly cheesesteak combo is pretty good and the chicken chipotle wrap is great. Only thing I didn't like so far has been the chicken tender basket, it was generic store bought tenders. If you work nearby or looking for a quick lunch, definitely recommend! read more

I like Gateway Café, there food is fresh and good and the pricing is great. If you not paying attention you will miss it. This location has a outdoor eatery and a indoor eatery. They also deliver themselves instead of making you wait for door dash or some other company to come and deliver it for you. I also love the combo specials that they have. Also the owners are extremely nice and pleasant, not in a rush to take your order and get to the next person. Please come and support this business it's worth it. read more

The Gateway Cafe - The front of the establishment - Cafes Near Me - Clarksburg, Maryland

We really wanted breakfast this morning so we decided to try the gateway café. They answered the phone and they were very pleasant over the phone although there was no menu online we still took a chance. I ordered a steak and egg croissant and my friend had a steak and egg bagel neither one of us got cheese because it was a $.65 up charge fine. when I arrive to pick up the food I asked if there is a paper menu for future orders and she said no you just have to take a picture of the menu when we got home and got the food out the bags I was confused because the home fries were not in a container, but in a plastic bowl wrapped in foil, which the boat was soggy, the potatoes, left any seasoning, and there was no fried onions or any flavor to them as far as the croissant complete waste of money, they use to thin sheets of steak him's and maybe a half an egg the croissant wasn't even a full croissant. It was the small ones that you get at Walmart I would not recommend breakfast from here. read more

The Gateway Cafe - Steak bagel, steak croissant, and home fries - Cafes Near Me - Clarksburg, Maryland

This is close to my work so very convenient. The food is always good. You can go for breakfast and lunch and not be disappointed. For breakfast: I've had the bacon,egg, and cheddar sandwich! The French toast platter is so big you can share! As for lunch: the salads are good with delicious homemade croutons, the philly cheese steak with fries excellent! The Reuben is the best I have ever had and they give you a generous portion. And the shrimp salad BLT. Yum!! Also homemade shrimp salad. Most of their stuff is made from scratch and it's delicious. I just realized they had a Yelp page, but when I go again I will be posting pics!!! Love the gateway cafe!!! read more

What a hidden gem in Clarksburg! Have been here many times and have tried quite a few different items from the menu. I've liked everything I've tried and it is always prepared pretty quickly. They are only open for the hours of a work day, so no getting dinner after work here. But they are open for breakfast hours during the week and on Saturdays. Basically your average deli, nothing spectacular about it, but a solid and consistent option! read more

Best place for a bomb ass steak and cheese, chicken tenders, burger. Amazing service, feel like home. Owner, cashier everyone there are super friendly! And the price is worth it! Def recommend. They have wraps too that are amazing if your trying to be a little healthy I recommend the chicken Caesar wrap! read more

Definitely a hidden gem! Husband discovered the place.. I have no idea how but very glad he did! Pro's: -Quick and friendly service -Great prices -No frills just good food -Lot's of parking -The breakfast platters are all I get, I haven't adventured during lunch time yet. Platters include, drink/coffee , home fries and toast for $7-$8 can't beat that! Con's: -Advertise to open at 6am but wasn't open :-( -Tucked away behind some office buildings Will visit over and over again! :-) read more

If I lived or worked in the area, I would eat here everyday for lunch! This little cafe has it all: Soup, Salad, And Samiches. I loved my Maryland Crap Soup! It's a real treat to find a place that actually serves it, much less does it correctly. Their French Fries were hot & crispy, and my roast beef sandwich was excellent. Overall, I feel that there should be a place like this in every neighborhood. It's a good place to get whatever Soup & Sandwich you want, prepared the way you want it. This place is the perfect lunch spot. Too bad it's tucked away in an office park in the middle of Clarksburg MD. I wish it was located nearby. read more

Out of the limited food options in Clarksburg, this spot is definitely decent; especially if you want to support a local business. Offering breakfast and lunch, with a good variety on the menu. For breakfast they have turkey options which is a plus and a rarity at many places. The customer service is great! Jackie, the owner, and everyone else there is xtremely friendly. They speak to you when you enter, by name, and know your order if you are a regular. read more

I driven by this location several times and decided to stop by today for breakfast. Nice little out of the way location with very affordable break and lunch options. I had an egg and sausage sandwich on rye bread. Very tasty and fast service. Not a big restaurant but there are quite a few tables for a quick sit down, eat and go. I'll have to return to try something for lunch sometime. read more

This is right down the road from my office and I was looking for something different because Clarksburg offers pretty much no food options. Overall it is a decent place, the food is average, made to order, and inexpensive. The chicken cheese steak is nothing to be excited about. It tastes fine but it isn't overly big or interesting. It does come with fries which have salt and pepper on them, the fries are the best thing I've had here. The chicken Caesar wrap isn't bad either. It is a decent lunch option. I've also had their chicken salad triple decker. It is kind of misleading because the chicken salad is between two slices of bread and you have one slice of bacon and lettuce between the other two slices... This is a place you can get something to eat quickly and cheaply. It's not expensive because the food quality isn't the highest. But honestly its OK, because there are no other options within at least 5 miles. Its a food desert around here!! I will go and try their breakfasts one day, I imagine they are pretty solid. read more

Great food reasonably priced and smiling staff. What more could you ask for? My granddaughter and I enjoyed bacon cheeseburgers after shopping at the outlet mall. read more

Pretty slow when we went in on a Saturday, but given the location and the quality of food, something tells me this place gets jumping for the weekday breakfast and lunch crowd. Our breakfast of fried eggs, toast, and sausage was prepared and delivered by two thoroughly pleasant ladies. The place is kept very clean inside. I have great respect for places like this that tend to focus on fast, good food for busy clientele. read more

The Gateway Cafe - Order area - Cafes Near Me - Clarksburg, Maryland

Super nice people and I've never had a problem with the food or the space. It is a great neighborhood place

First, this is not a place where waitresses come take your order at your table. Give your order at the counter and take a seat. Good food fast with a comfortable place to sit. Paper plates and plastic utensils do not detract from the food. If you're expecting gourmet food then go where they have gourmet prices. Nice quiet place to meet a friend and have a bite before shopping or checking out the wineries. Parking is free too! read more
