Customer Reviews
I ordered a pecan waffle. It was hard as a rock. I had a hard time cutting it with a knife. Even with syrup i had to saw at it. Not food at all. Ordered hot tea and brought me 3/4 of a cup and no waters for either of us which most restaurants do. I Had to ask twice for a water and i.know she heard me because she sropped and looked at me. My husbands lasagna was good. Bathroom was not bad but smelled bad
Hmm, here we go again - another unhappy experience at Hometown Cafe. This time the Pork Chop came out of the kitchen raw, still pink. Why, as a customer am I getting raw food out of the kitchen? The bad part about it, I waited 25 minutes before the meal was delivered to the table. The waitress sat me at 10:05am, two more was sat at 10:15am, ten minutes later their food came out. HMM At 10:35am the 2 Pork Chop breakfast finally came to the table. I had to eat quick because class starts at 11am, after eating half of the first pork chop, I see pink. I'm like WOW! I just put this in my stomach trying to eat one of the pork chop before leaving for class. One of the staff asked me was I okay, I told her "NO" and showed her why. She took the raw pork chop and only charged me for one pork chop, ha
My wife and I stopped here for dinner. I had the best chicken fried steak that I have eaten in ages. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. The portions were more than enough. Was traveling on vacation when we came across this restaurant. My wife loved her meal as well. It was more than she could eat, so took a portion back to our hotel. Definitely recommend!
I’ve only ever gotten takeout but I’ve always got plenty of food that that was a great value for the price. They gave plenty of silverware and extras without asking. I love the breakfast l!!
Real deal diner. Always busy. Good food at affordable prices. Update 08/07/2025 As of summer 2023 they moved to a bigger location across the street and tore the old location down. The place is so much bigger than before and a lot more parking space. They even have a buffet now on certain nights. .
