User Reviews

We stopped here during a baseball tournament on Father’s Day. This place has amazing food and great waitstaff. We had a group of 15 kids and 15 adults and were seated quickly and served promptly. My breakfast buffet was excellent. Where else can a person get delicious cinnamon rolls, apple crisp, rhubarb crisp, blueberry cheesecake, and orange meringue on a breakfast buffet! supposedly, they have this breakfast buffet every Sunday morning. Prices were good too! Highly recommended.

I would say the food was really good that we did have. Service was fairly good with as busy as they were only thing I didn't like is we came for the buffet and were told it was over and couldn't order it but several tables full of people came in after us and were able to get the buffet we were very frustrated as that's why we came didn't sit well with us.

Wonderful little cafe that offers a breakfast buffet (probably just on weekends?) or menu options. I ordered off the menu and was not disappointed, especially with the American fries (so good!). Loved the small hometown-style feel. Saw lots of staff chatting with local families and adding to the warm atmosphere of Crouse. Breakfast was really good overall, bacon was fantastic. The pancakes were a bit on the sweet side (I like the sweet to come from the syrup and these had what seemed like a strong vanilla flavor already) but will definitely be back.

Everyone working was so friendly and made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself was so much bigger on the inside than we thought and we got a spot fairly quickly. You can tell how popular the spot is based on the amount of people in there eating! As a bonus, the neighborhood had some cute shops so we were able to shop and walk off some of our delicious food right after.

One of our favorites when visiting for the Knoxville Nationals. It's a small drive from where we stayed this year but still worth going. I highly recommend a slice of a fresh baked pie. I had strawberry rhubarb this year and took it with. It was still yummy two days later. I had bacon, eggs, hash browns and pancakes. The server was friendly, funny and attentive. Their specials always look yummy and everything coming from the kitchen looked good. There is plenty of space inside and parking appears to be on street only. Highly recommend.

It's been around for a long time for a reason. A town staple, and it's been seeing some of the same customers for generations. Best food in town by a long shot and you won't pay a crazy price for the some of the best tasting and best quality food you've ever eaten. If you don't stop to eat at this place, you're missing out on perfection yo.

Everyone is always so friendly here. Service is amazing. Food prices are good and always taste fresh and delicious. Home town cafe feel and atmosphere. Oh, and don't forget to grab a slice of one of their yummy pies.

We visited this restaurant twice, once for dinner and once for breakfast. The food was undercooked on both dinner meals, and the breakfast was cooks and not ordered correctly. They were very busy, but it seemed that they were just barely keeping up with the number of guests they were running through the place. Prices were not bad but even at that the food was not worth it.
