Cozy, friendly restaurant. Great, efficient and very friendly wait staff. The owner greeted us and was warm and friendly. We sat at the bar since the place was hopping. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and enjoyable. We both had the spinach, goat cheese omelet and loved it. Mine came with a salad and a delicious butter biscuit that tasted fresh out of the oven with batter and jam. My cousin had the same omelet with hashbrowns. We were both very happy with our meals, The owner brought us fresh beignets that were delicious .. and more food than i could possibly eat. The whole experience was wonderful and i'd go back again in a heartbeat. Lovely food, friendly service, warm atmosphere. read more

Gorgeous decor, impeccable service and the most delicious southern food! Highly recommended Viola Cafe for the whole family. Started with warm beignets- very fresh and light. The etoufee was my absolute favorite but truly everything was authentic and so flavorful. The owner, Anthony, is so kind and friendly. I wish I lived closer but I can't wait to go back! read more

Viola's is back, but with new ownership and a new menu! Viola's now offers tasty southern cuisine in a casual homey restaurant. We tried the lunch specials and will definitely return for the reasonable prices and delicious food. The catfish was cooked just right, fried hard, with sweet moist fish inside. We also enjoyed the homemade potato salad, and fresh beignets. The servers were friendly and an added nice touch was a visit from the owner who made his way around the restaurant to welcome patrons. I would recommend stopping in for breakfast or lunch for a good meal with southern hospitality! read more

Tucked into this charming little town of three Oaks, Michigan just off of interstate Highway 94, is this new adorable café that's inspired by Southern comfort cuisine. I was with a group of seven, and then we got a wide variety of foods ranging from the pancakes, to biscuits and gravy, to the gumbo, to their version of eggs Benedict. All the ingredients were incredibly fresh and delicious, and even the owner stopped by to say hi. (Absolutely lovely man) It was very busy and there's a little bit of the way, but it's absolutely worth it and I understand why. Can't wait to return. read more

Great breakfast & lunch spot in a charming town. New ownership have updated the decor and changed the menu (southern focus). Very welcoming owner and attentive staff. We had The Y'all-andaise (very good, comes à la carte), two pancakes (they are thick), and a side of hash brown potatoes. Really enjoyed the place, the food and the service so we'll be back. One thing that seemed odd (but no big deal) is that this was the first breakfast place I've ever been to that serves eggs but doesn't offer omelets. read more

Amazing! I was so impressed! The food and service are outstanding! The cafe is adorable.

Excellent food and service. Been there twice and Viola's doesn't disappoint. Chicken pot pie with biscuit was terrific. Fried catfish was perfectly fried and not at all greasy. Our sides of beans and collards were more than tasty made according to a great recipe including ham and bacon. These folks know what they are doing. Very fair pricing too! read more

Second time visiting...just as good as the first. The ambience is clean, warm, modern and inviting. The food is excellent! The service was stellar both times. Our waiter was fantastic and the owner(s) mingle and make everyone feel right at home. It's becoming a new favorite!!! read more

Our first time back under new owners. Loved the new decor, chairs were comfortable. Pretty simple menu with decent choices and options. I ordered the Benedict Y'all (sp) and My wife ordered the Biscuits and Gravy. The benedict came with a huge slice of ham and the sausage gravy had a good about of sausage in it. Both were very good. The service, food, value and new decor made this a pleasant breakfast experience. Can't wait to come back. read more

Whenever we are in Three Oaks, my sisters and I always make it a point to dine at Viola Cafe. Anthony and Scott, the most gracious and friendly owners, exude Southern hospitality and offer delicious, gourmet comfort food, including beignets and "secret recipe" pancakes - the best we've ever tasted! Today we tried their "jezebel sauce"...delicious! Don't miss this gem when you are in the area. read more

Loved the atmosphere, hospitality and food! Amazing food! We were lucky enough to be in town for their grand re-opening. My children had pancakes which I kept stealing from their plates. I enjoyed their biscuits and gravy. The sausage gravy was the best I have ever had. Loaded with sausage and flavor. We will definitely re-visit when we are back in town. read more

Love everything about Viola Cafe. Great food, good service. It's been added to the rotation every time we're in the area.

Great ambiance, superb decor, and feels like home away from home! I'm from Cajun Country and truly the BEST real homemade southern food I've had in years living up north, this side of the Mississippi! read more

Wonderful and friendly staff! The sausage and gravy is delicious . The catfish was prepared perfectly!! Will come back!

We went there for breakfast this morning and was pleasantly surprised; very welcoming with all the new updated everything!! We had the Elm Street Special which is a pancake, eggs, sausage and potatoes. Everything tasted great but the pancake was thick and not fluffy at all. You had to use a knife to cut it; however it has a great flavor. Definitely will go and try something else. They will do great!! read more

Enjoyed everything about our Viola Cafe experience! So much so, we ate there twice during our weekend visit to Three Oaks.
