received superfluous service. will come again. Make the chicken more tender and go easy on the fire.
Food is good, staff is amazing and I realized I'm blessed to have a restaurant like this down the street from my house. I come here at least once a month and they never disappoint
Had to come back again I had to babysit my nephews kids and they wanted burgers and it's 50 leven degrees outside so I decided to go to famous Cafe they have 1.99 hamburger specials and the customer service is awesome and the kids loved the burgers will come back anytime it's to hot to cook and on a budget
Just moved into the area and have been here quite a few times and I have to say I've never had a bad experience with the staff. Yes, the food is someone greasy when you order fried food but isn't that why it's called fried food? If you want something fancy go to a fancy restaurant not a local diner, you get local diner food and local people instead of fancy, expensive, small portions . 2 personal favorites are the Fried Zucchini and the onion rings with orange bang.
Been coming to Famous Cafe for over 20 years and they still have my absolute favorite chili cheese fries. This casual diner is a local staple. Service is quick and easy, and it's also super convenient that I can call in my order for takeout when I leave the office and pick it up on the way home. The chili cheese fries are packed with hot, crispy french fries, covered with delicious chili, and oozing with melted cheese. The only downside is the price going up compared to 10 or 20 years ago, but that's just the norm with inflation. Whenever I'm breaking my diet, I'll come back to Famous Cafe for my #1 guilty pleasure.
