My dining companion and I recently visited Olean's Café. This restaurant location has been here…read morefor what seems like forever. Adams Street is a quiet street on this particular Saturday morning around 9:15 am. But inside the restaurant, there is a flurry of activity behind the counter, the aroma of breakfast makes us smile when we enter and there is a line that stretches to the door. Folks are waiting. Few dine in and most are carrying out several to go boxes per person. The prices are reasonable and for the portion size, I would say budget-minded. Get the Olean's omelette. It's generously sized and enough for 3 meals. It looks nothing like a traditional omelette. It reads more like a breakfast casserole. Eggs, potatoes, sausage, veggies and cheese. It's comfort food on a plate. I am so sorry I didn't take a photo to share. I highly recommend this meal option! My dining companion ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and plain grits. My dining companion stated they were the best restaurant grits they'd ever eaten. The bacon was piled high on his plate! He took 1/2 this meal home. Mrs. Olean is behind the counter and just as personable as can be. She sets the tone for hospitality and it shows with her courteous staff. There was ample parking. The dining room is small, probably 10 tables in all. Most seem to be taking bags with their to go containers. Few people leave with one container. We will certainly return for some of their lunch options next.

They make both of those dishes to order so you may want to call ahead. I also thought their collard greens were good. One thing that could be improved is the wait time.

The food is so flavorful and filling and there are a variety of options to choose from. The portions are huge. I literally had enough for just about 3 meals.

I also love that they have specials for the college students which makes this an affordable option for some "good eating". Definitely give Auntie a try!

**Review: Solid Steak Dinner at The Edison**…read more I had a pleasant dinner at The Edison recently and walked away satisfied, especially with the food. Service was just okay--nothing terrible, but the appetizers definitely took longer than expected to come out. That said, our server was genuinely good: friendly, knowledgeable, and checked on us at the right moments without being overbearing. The appetizers were worth the wait. Both the fried green tomatoes and the crab appetizer were excellent--fresh, flavorful, and nicely executed. For the main course, the steak was spot-on: tender, well-seasoned, and cooked exactly as ordered. The potatoes that came with it were also really good--creamy and tasty without being heavy. We ended the meal with the bread pudding, and it was one of the best parts of the night. It was done perfectly: warm, moist, and full of rich, comforting flavor that didn't feel overly sweet. All in all, The Edison delivers on the food front. If you're after a reliable steak with some standout starters and a strong dessert, it's a solid choice. Ambiance was good, love the historic building. I'll definitely be back for the steak and bread pudding. Recommended!

The prices are already solid, but the dinner specials make the deals even better. The staff is very friendly and keeps things moving quickly, which is great because the food comes out fast and piping hot. The chicken itself is breaded to perfection--super crispy on the outside while still juicy and flavorful on the inside. You also get your choice of dipping sauces, which makes it easy to mix things up. If you're in the area, this is definitely a must-visit, especially if you love fried chicken. It's the kind of place that's simple, fast, and absolutely hits the spot every time.

However, the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the sound of your shoes sticking to the floor with a wet, suction-like squeak that makes you wonder... am about to get stuck in place?

It's enough to make you concerned about a gob landing in your food, which might give you more than just a mouthful of flavor--maybe even a throat tickle.

Chicken sandwich with fried okra, two piece white with Mack and cheese and baked beans. I also ordered 5 biscuits for good measure. Stars for the chicken. It was done perfectly. The biscuits were good and the gravy on the instant mashed potatoes was very good. The Mac and cheese - no. Baked beans - from a can and not doctored up like the ones that I make. However, the fried okra I'd have again. This is an order at the counter - been there forever type of place so it looks a little old but it was very clean when I was there. Even the restroom.

I ordered the sampler plate (I'm forgetting the name). It came with wings, sweet plantains, rice and your choice of a patty. Not like a Jamaican patty, but I got curry shrimp that had potatoes and veggies in it. I didn't really like that but my friends were happy to eat it. The wings were good... I wound up having to get the sauce on the side and it probably would have been better tossed hot. Plantains were tasty. The rice was meh. It was supposed to be cilantro lime but it tasted like plain white rice. I think I would want to go and try the bowl because everyone seemed to love them.
