It was evident by the packed parking lot and people leaving that we had missed the rush. We were seated immediately and the server was right there to take our drink order. Their coffee was one of the best I've had out. I ordered a veggie omelette but didn't want the normal sides of toast and potatoes. I ordered just the one pancake. The omelette was just a bit cooked too long, but it was still good. The pancake was soft and fluffy inside and even better when I added syrup! I was surprised when I got my bill that they didn't charge me for the pancake. The server said that the owner/cook just likes to make people happy and was very flexible on the sides. The prices are really reasonable. I'll be back!

Great food, service, and value. I've only eaten breakfast there; it's always been great.read more

The start of my first official day in Kentucky kicked off at Eastgate Family Restaurant. My friend…read morewho's from here advised that Eastgate Family Restaurant has the best breakfast in the city. Based on what he said I had to go. As Eastgate Family Restaurant sits in a parking plaza there is ample parking. Upon walking it you are met with a sign to seat yourself. The restaurant is huge but has the feel of a small down home diner. The decor is very simple and dominated by gray tones. Once seated we were greeted by Lisa who was all smiles and midwest charm. The menu has an abundance of options but the breakfast section was calling my name. LoL! As I watched the servers bring out some other dishes I had to think long and hard about what I wanted. Being that my tastebuds we're all over the place I decided to go A-La-Carte, don't judge me. Food: Grits - The grits were plain. There was nothing special about them overall but they satisfied my desire for some grits. The serving size was very generous and after adding 6 packs of butter I was happier. LoL! Bacon (well done) - The bacon was the bomb. It was thick and well done just how I like it. Even with being well done it still had the robust flavor profile of smoked pork. Truth be told, I would come back for the bacon alone. Home Fries (well done and add onions) - The home fries were thinly sliced which made the crispyness even better. Though they were thin they still had the softness in the middle. They hit the spot. Overall, Eastgate Family Restaurant was a good meal with great service at a great price. It's worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for home cooked flavor without having to cook it.

My husband loved the eggs. The biscuit tasted like it was made from scratch. We ordered the pecan pie because it was the special. It was so good! The coffee was okay and hot in its yeti mug. I thought they could use someone to bus tables, cause when we walked in there were quite a few dirty tables and flies on the left over food. That almost turned me around, but I'm glad we stayed! If I was a local, I'd be a regular!

We tried this amazing restaurant last night after seeing it pop up here and there…read more It was Italian night so my daughter got the lasagna but I was torn between a few dishes. The waitress told me the beef for the burgers is from Dewig's so I was sold on the blue cheese burger then. Let me tell you, the bacon was crispy and the burger was out of this world. My family also butchers our own beef and this was as good or better! I started to order the crisps to check those out when my daughter told me that they have house cut fries. Love those! Great meal and we were stuffed!!! BUT we were Informed that the dessert was made in house so we got the chocolate ganache cake to go. Had it at home. So glad we split it, the slice was HUGE.

The decor was eclectic and reminiscent of a trip to a hip Grandma's kitchen. The plates are all mix matched older patterns and lend a fun vibe to the interior. The room is a big open space but with lots of cozy spots. They have a room for a separate party and the servers were on point despite it being a busy morning. The food was perfect comfort food with amazing fried chicken on a smothered biscuit. Yum! My friend's French toast was very cinnamony which she loved. We will keep this in mind for future trips and even signed up for their newsletters and updates. It is worth a trip!

The cafe was busy, but orders were taken quickly and arrived just as quickly. I ordered today's special which was the tomato basil turkey wrap.

I look forward to returning and trying something new. I'm excited to recommend Sidewalk Cafe to others!

The biscuits and gravy were just okay, and the omelet would have been better if it weren't made with American cheese slices. I did like the potatoes. Everything had a taste of grease to it, but for the price, I can't complain too much. I wasn't a big fan of their coffee (decaf). The service was nice and kept our cups filled, haha. The decoration inside is dated and nostalgic. For a small diner, it served its job :) Note: I enjoyed the pancakes, but they were a bit raw in the middle.

My husband and I were celebrating Valentine's Day and chose to go somewhere new to us…read more The restaurant itself is a very well decorated and cozy place. The menu tonight was predetermined with great options. Service was a little slow tonight, but that is to be expected when the entire restaurant is at capacity with reservations. My husband and I loved the appetizers. It was a sample of shrimp cocktail, spinach dip with pita bread, and sriracha honey bacon brussel sprouts. I ordered the garden salad for my next course while my husband chose the broccoli mushroom chowder. We each enjoyed our choice. For the main course I had the marinated grilled chicken with creamy spinach and artichoke, and my husband had the 16 ounce bone in ribeye. Both main dishes came with a twice baked potato and roasted vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, bell pepper). My chicken was slightly overcooked, but it wasn't too noticeable with the creamy topping. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed the sides. We got dessert to go as we were so full by that point. I chose the carrot cake and he got the cheesecake. Our son was very happy we decided to bring the desserts home so he could also try them. Both were delicious, but the carrot cake was the standout. We look forward to returning to have their regular menu.
