★★★☆☆ 3.0 Asif Rehmani · Mar 2026

We ordered the corned beef hash and the East Coast skillet. Both were decent in taste and quality, but nothing that really stood out. Food (and coffee) came out warm instead of hot and that really set the tone. We let our server know, and she did offer to replace everything, which we appreciated. But we didn’t want perfectly fine food getting wasted, and we also didn’t really want a “microwaved fix,” so we just rolled with it. Overall, not a great first impression — hopefully it was just an off day, but the temperature issue was a big miss.

Visiting from Houston, Texas and highly recommend Big Apple Cafe for breakfast!! Carl took great care of us, the best host!! Thank you!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Tina Smith · Feb 2026

Me and my husband used to come here often, about 2/3x a week. I don’t know what happen to this place. The food quality went down a lot. The service is now horrible, all the staff has switched over. They are slow and always on their phones. The chicken noodle soup it’s disgusting now, no flavor at all. Used to be the best. My husband got a skirt steak that was so small like they cut the portion in half but raised the price. The eggs tasted like liquid fake eggs. And hash browns tasted greasy and old. Such a shame. We will go to Louie’s from now on.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Tara Platt · Dec 2025

This used to be my go to breakfast spot but lately the service is horrible and the food is lacking. Seems they raised the prices and dropped the quality of the food. The server, Suzanne, was too busy talking to her regulars to pay us any attention. We ran out of coffee and she never refilled it. I needed hot sauce I had to get up and ask another employee while she stood there flirting with old men. I won’t be back anymore. This is the third bad time in the last 6 months. 3 strikes you’re out!!!! The new owners need to step it up a few steps. I miss the Greek owners they knew what they were doing. This young guy does not

Suzanne is Amazing and always give great service. It also helps that she's my birthday twin. 😊 When we come, we request Suzanne to ensure the best experience every time. She's truly a Rock Star we look forward to seeing her every time we come! Thank you Suzanne for always being so amazing and making our experience memorable!
