    Old fashioned restaurant makes me feel nostalgic - love the seasonal decorations
    Aileen B.

    There is something special about this place. You know what I think it is? It kind of feels like a homey coffee shop, where you can grab a bite to eat, get a good cup of coffee, and sit back with a book and read for a spell. It's got character and charm, as well as a great wait staff and cooks. There are seasonal decorations aplenty, and they just shout, "Back Road Cafe wants you to feel at home and be comfortable." You can't go wrong here. Really! The eggs are well-prepared, the toast perfectly buttered, potatoes made just right, your water glass and coffee cup are kept full, and the waitresses (Eileen was excellent) cheerily make your time here a slice of home away from home. Enjoy!!!

    Breakfast rush about to start.

    Went here for breakfast having read about this on yelp. Was very pleased with the quality and quantity. This is a greasy spoon restaurant so expect accordingly. Service staff was friendly

    Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and when traveling I seek out exceptional "breakfast joints". Back Road Cafe ticked all the boxes for exceptional. First the super nice staff was clearly engaged and enjoying what they do. Several customers came in and knew the staff by name and you could tell this is a part of the community. The food - was amazing. I ordered broccoli, tomato and cheese omelette and it was a perfectly formed omelette-fluffy and hot! Side of bacon was huge and the potatoes were fresh not frozen. Coffee was great Cafe coffee - nothing fancy. I highly recommend it.

    Have always enjoyed our meals here. My boyfriend is picky, and he has no trouble finding something to eat here. Would definitely recommend.

We get there around 9:30 - 10:00am, the place wasn't busy at all, and we seated ourselves. Greeted by the waitress taking our drink orders and bringing us menus. My mom and I ordered the classic eggs and bacon classic breakfast with toast & home fries and my dad ordered the peameal bacon breakfast with toast & home fries as well. We didn't wait long at all as our food came right out about after 10 to 15 minutes. It was hot and delicious and the bacon was cooked just right; the home fries were tasty, the toast was buttered and the coffee was hot. I prefer my eggs sunny side up, and they were cooked perfectly so I can dip my toast into the yolk. What a wonderful place, I can't wait to come back and try a few other items they had on the menu with some friends. Wonderful staff working there, making the experience that much better. Just a side note, there is no parking lot, just street parking, which is fine, we got a spot right outside around when we went. Overall a great diner experience, restaurant like these that make me keep wanting to come back to get that local feel.

The staff was very friendly and warm when greeting guests. Their personable nature made the visit that much more worth the walk in the heat. Since the place was pretty busy we took bar stools to avoid waiting for a table and it was a good view of the smaller kitchen area. I was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency we saw from the busy crowd and the food not taking 10 years. The food was tasty. I truly enjoyed my Korean spicy fries. Spicy in name not truly spicy to cause a burn if that makes sense. I was craving a traditional breakfast plate but the staff and my friends who are local insisted that I needed to try the Korean fries so I did both. Was it greedy of me? Absolutely. Did I care? No. The locally sourced sausage was also very tasty. I must try to find it to cook at home. My friends ordered their regular go-to meals so it was great according to them. The burger and the duck hash. I think I'll go back and try the duck hash next time for sure. And another thing, there's a particular parking garage they validate a couple hours for. So parking is not an issue in this downtown office building.
