Now THIS is breakfast! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I've always believed that breakfast should be hearty to get you jump started. Hoosier Cafe does just that. If you want a "stick to your ribs" kind of meal, Hoosiers' the place. The establishment is decked out in all things Indiana & Hoosiers. It has that old school "Denny's" charm about it. I found Hoosier Cafe to be clean and comfortable to be in. Warning, if you are a health nut, your options might me quite limited to a fruit cup or maybe oatmeal (not sure if I saw that on the menu). Let your guard down and indulge in some biscuits & gravy or a stack of hotcakes! Feeling edgy? Kill a chicken fried steak & eggs! It's "slap-yo-mama" GOOD!!! read more

Hoosier Cafe - Yep. I'll be hitting the gym after this! But it's worth it!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Been going to hoosier cafe for many years great food and the people there are amazing.

I went there one morning on a whim because it was down the street from my work. The staff was friendly in courteous. I order the big breakfast was delicious I will go back again asap read more

This is such a nice breakfast spot in the east valley area. With the number of chains and new fancy breakfast spots open and opening around the Gilbert/Chandler area, sometimes you just want a simple yet delicious restaurant that's down to earth, Hoosier cafe is such place. I have been here a few times on the weekends and there is always a wait, typically 15-30 minutes but they tend to call you faster than the quoted time. The servers I have had have all been really nice and efficient, your cup will rarely be empty. I love their pancakes, seriously, I am not a big breakfast food person but these pancakes are so delicious and actually make me crave them. Bacon is also really good here, well bacon is good anywhere. read more

This is a great diner and the people were very nice. They really try to keep the place clean, frequently wiping windows and cleaning the tables and booths. Our server was super sweet and attentive but didn't hassle us with constant interruptions. Had the Spanish omelet with country potatoes (get it extra crispy!!). Geez, the chorizo on and in that omelet is amaaazing. They could serve a bowl of just the chorizo and it would be a best seller. You get bread or biscuits with gravy. The gravy is kind of bland to me but the biscuits were big and fluffy! Big portions and all for pretty well under $10. I didn't even finish it. My bf got the steak omelet with hash and bread. He had onions and peppers added in the hash but be forewarned: they put a ton! I had to scoop some on my own plate. We also got a small order of French toast. Was good but would be great had we had it warm (and wasn't stuffed from our respective omelets). Great place! Too bad it's so far (for me) and closes so early! read more

Hoosier Cafe - Another Spanish Omelette! With x-crispy country potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I can't believe nobody has reviewed this wonderful little restaurant yet! I've been going here for years, first with my parents, who are both from Indiana, then to treat my mother, my husband and kids, even my brother when he was in town. Where else you gonna find a "breaded pork tenderloin" sandwich! And it's really good! They also have great breakfasts. I had the "Corn Meal Mush" one day and expected a bowl of hot cereal, but it was actually strips of fried cornmeal batter which were delicious with syrup over them. They came with a generous amount of bacon, too. They are only open till 2pm so don't dawdle if you want to eat there. And be sure to try the pork tenderloin! read more

You will love this greasy spoon as much as you love the diner look and feel to the place. Clean restaurant and it can get very busy at times, especially in the morning. This is a good place to come and read your paper and sip coffee. I had a standard breakfast with over-easy eggs, potatoes and toast. Now come on, I know what your thinking, who can mess up eggs and toast? Your right but they get it right, perfectly looking and tasting how a greasy spoon breakfast should taste. Which is good but obviously not that great for your health. Who said I was trying to save your life? My partner's breakfast with the bacon looked awesome. The bacon looked thick cut and perfectly cooked to perfection. He has also had the bacon cheeseburger which he observes is equally satisfying. read more

Love this place ! Always packed but there's a reason for it and it's because the food never disappoints & the ambiance is great ! This has easily become one of my fave breakfast spots read more

I was blown away by the great atmosphere, great menu had the Cinnamon Roll French toast meal & it was amazing!! Service was great food was great I highly recommend having breakfast here if your in the Chandler area. read more

My family, girlfriend and I came in here for breakfast, mainly because my girlfriend being an IU Hoosiers fan and being from the midwest made her feel a little more at home here. Well don't feel shy to check it out even if you're not a midwest native, this place is a must try. You can not go wrong here if you're looking for a place with heaping portions. The portion sizes for the cheap prices is unreal! Nobody at the table left hungry! Try the Ranch Potatoes if you're looking to not eat for 3 days, and be prepared for the waitress to ask if you want onion and peppers to jazz it up a bit. Fantastic biscuits and gravy are served here as well, if you arent looking to make a meal out of it, order them in place of your toast (its an option that doesn't cost extra)! Breakfast burritos about the size of a newborn, and omelettes fit for a king. Service is pretty quick, but be prepared for a packed house, with a morning crowd on the weekends. The walls are decorated in anything and everything Indiana sports memorabilia.The walls are literally all glass so it can get bright but also adds some personality and for a better scenery than your basic view of a painted wall. Looking for a new breakfast spot, check this place out! read more

A bit over priced for the quality. Charged for bad coffee I didn't drink and when I told server she said ya some people don't like it. I did tell her that I didn't want it but she didn't seem to care. Food was typical greasy spoon style. I try a lot of small business restaurants because they usually have the best food unfortunately this was not one of those locations read more

Great service, and very quick our food came out creepy fast! The food is amazing all three of my group ordered different breakfast combos and were amazed! Definitely a good stop! read more

This place is great for breakfast i have been here several times and i always get the spinach omelet, which is delicious. My husband has had the skillet, chicken fried steak and meat lover omelet and has always been good. They definitely bring a lot of food for you, portions are huge! The wait time was accurate, they said 10 minutes and it was. The staff and server's are friendly, never a bad experience. Today is mothers day and we expected a longer wait for seating and for food. Food came out within 15 minutes today and was great as usual. All in all another good experience...i really like the consistency of quality and service. read more

Hoosier Cafe - Spinach omelet with hash browns and biscuits and gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

First and last time eating here! The food and service were below ok. They have an upcharge of $1.25 for fruit instead of potatoes and the fruit was slimey. Slimey fruit = nasty! Told the server and all she said was "Oh, yeah." So we paid an additional $1.25 for the nasty fruit and then a mysterious $.50 for unknown that the cashier couldn't explain. There are too many breakfast places that don't upcharge AND serves great food. read more

Great breakfast food. Like old school. Will definitely visit again. Atmosphere is very bright and chill. Nothing fancy or high end. Comfortable and cozy. read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast. I had the cinnamon roll and the corned beef hash, egg and hash browns. The cinnamon roll was excellent--gooey and warm. The corned beef hash and eggs were good too. I thought the hash browns were nice and crisp, but they had a weird under-taste. The service was super fast and very friendly! I'm glad I checked this place out! read more

A little gem tucked in the corner of an everyday stripmall, Hoosier cafe did not fail to disappoint my early morning senses. A short jaunt from home, a friend and I found ourselves snagging a booth at this highly populated Mom-and-Pop joint. Although packed, our drink order was taken and arrived swiftly by our jovial waitress. The easy to read menu and even easier on the pocketbook prices were promising. We ordered the Steak and Egg burrito ($6.59), a half order of Biscuits and Gravy ($2.59), and the 1/2 Belgian Waffle with one egg and choice of meat (ham, bacon, or sausage - I selected the sausage) ($5.69). My waffle was perfection - crispy outside, light as air on the inside. The accompanying maple syrup was warm, and I was delighted to see not one but two sausage patties. My egg, which I requested well done, was cooked exactly as I had requested - a first for my dining out experiences. The biscuits and gravy were tasty, with large pepper flakes in the gravy over one full, fluffy biscuit. I sampled the burrito, which could have been a tad spicier. My tea remained filled to the brim during and after my meal. And despite a packed restaurant, we were not ushered out the door as soon as we were finished with our meals. BONUS!! For the price and quality, this one can't be beat. read more

Great food great atmosphere and great people make for an awesome breakfast/lunch spot right off Arizona Ave and Warner Road in Chandler. Fast, friendly and best of all quality ingredients and food. I highly recommend the Moo, Cluck, Oink Burger, one of the best burgers I have ever had. Bacon, fried egg, and cheddar cheese, all on a toasted roll, and do yourself a favor and get the fresh onion rings. Mmmmm Can't wait to go back. read more

Always amazing Betty is the best I have been eating with her since I was 22 and I'm 35 now. Amazing everything to be honest you can't go wrong with this place read more

Hoosier Cafe is not a heart healthy cafe. Bring that knowledge through the door and you will be served up a hearty filling breakfast, albeit a fat-laden one. I had the spinach omelet ($6.99) which came with hash browns or ranch potatoes, and toast or biscuits and gravy. I chose the ranch potatoes and biscuits and gravy. The omelet itself was great. The eggs were fluffy, and there was a lot of spinach and mushrooms in the filling. The spinach and mushrooms tasted great, but the spinach was loaded with grease/oil. The biscuits and gravy were also very good. The gravy wasn't overly salty, and the biscuits were soft and warm. There was a large portion of potatoes to finish off too. I could only finish about half of my meal. Will definitely come here again to try more dishes! read more

My fiancé and I grabbed a late breakfast today. We are really glad we came here. Definitely your hometown cafe with great food! I had the chicken and waffles, and it was great! She has the California omelette and we definitely loved sharing bites together. The service is great and prompt! read more

I don't like 2022 restaurants I usually like old school diners and they have good and better food and know how to cook

Always good, fresh food! Monthly specials are good as well. Love coming for weekend breakfast. Will continue to cine for breakfast.

This place has an amazing diner feel and it's delicious to boot. I had the 1/2 belg waffle + eggs and sausage. It was delicious and more than enough food for one person. Definitely coming back for breakfast. read more

Pancakes are HUGE. Breakfast burrito is AMAZING (with potatoes added inside). Wonderful service as well. Skip iHop, Denny's and other breakfast chains. Come here instead, you won't regret it! read more

Shitty. Ordered a bowl of fruits, looks shit and not fresh. Unbelievable they brought it to the table, I'm not paying $7 for this shit, $5.49+tax+tips is $7 if I'm not wrong. This fruit platter is worse than other restaurant's free ones. Come on, don't treat customers like they are idiots. read more

Hoosier Cafe - Fruit plate $5.49 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

One of our most favorite breakfast spots! The Avocado Toast is deliciously light and filling! The garden skillet was also amazing! Pancakes are HUGE...our children love them! Fruit is fresh, service is great, and the atmosphere is amazing! Thank you Hoosier Cafe!! read more

Overpriced garbage not worth it what so ever. Paid 17 for a screwed up order food wasn't even hot yet the bagel was burnt. Never going back.

Hoosiers is my favorite breakfast spot in Phoenix. The grits are great: but the star of the show for me is the waffles! EAT THE WAFFLE! Even if you don't normally like waffles. They do make their hot chocolate with water so I would avoid. read more

Food was OK, place was clean, not to busy, service started great and then went down hill. I should have got up and walked out. My wife and I were in there almost 1 1/2 hours. The people next to us came in 10 minutes after us, got their food and were getting ready to depart by the time we were served. The server said several times that our order would be right out. Finally the untruth came out that the kitchen was overwhelmed with orders, I then told her that I didn't seem to bother the production of the neighbors order, nor any one else in the establishment only me. Either the server or the kitchen lost the order and then they tried hambone me. I'll never go back another WAS the Hoosiers on Warner Rd., just off Country Club on 12/23/2020 from 9:45 to 11:15 read more

My date and I ate here after church yesterday and the other Yelpers were +SO+ right! The biscuits and gravy are out of this world! The omelets were fantastic and the portions were "farm size". The service was efficient and the place was clean. I will be back! A solid 5 stars! read more

I really enjoyed the Midwest "greasy spoon" atmosphere! I got an omelet and it delivered on all of my expectations, fluffy, cheesy, and stacked! The toast was crispy on the outside and soft from the melted butter on the inside! The service was great, they have good hospitality! I will be coming back! read more

Hoosier Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

A little pricey but when you are craving home style midwestern food this is the place.

I've been here a few times now and found that if you don't get here early you're going to wait. I'm from the Midwest and a like a little home style cafe that has good service and good food. The Hoosier Cafe has that style. Very consistent and just nice people here. read more

Food is good. Service is good as as well. They REALLY need a better system. The hostess has to run back-and-forth and pick up takeout orders, DoorDash ect. Deal with all the customers walking in and accept payments from customers. It's like she's the only one that works there. How about somebody from the back bring the food up to the front and set it on the table so she doesn't have to run back-and-forth. Makes zero sense. read more

It's your average breakfast/lunch place.. it has all ur basics from omelettes to burgers.. breakfast and lunch is served until they close which is about 2pm.. it gets busy but the staff are pretty on top of it. Our waitress was very attentive even though it was busy.. probably be back sometime in the future.. read more

Just your average diner food; not good and not bad. Fries were a bit salty, but the Reuben was pretty good. read more

Hoosier Cafe - Rueben and fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

EAT HERE!!! It was our first time experience eating here, thought we'd take a chance and we got delivery takeout through Door Dash. So that is a test in itself already, and we are happy to say it was great! My Bf ordered the Two Egg platter with corn beef Hash, which he was able to get both French fries( unfortunately wouldn't recommend the fries, they didn't travel well) and biscuits with country gravy. But THE BISCUSTS...AND GRAVY!! ENOUGH SAID. It was delicious and FULL OF FLAVOR, you could really taste the herbs in it. As I snagged quite a few bites of it lol. I had the Moo Cow Breakfast Burger, well done, which it was! The potato bun was a really nice touch, and came with pickles tomato lettuce, and I got potato salad for the side, though there were a lot of good selections to choose from! That's another thing! Lots of variety in the menu and choices! So DO EAT HERE! We would definitely recommend and we will be ordering again soon!! Ok gotta go, gonna Om Nom Nom Nom more of this food! read more

I have lived in the east valley for 30 years and had yet to try Hoosier Cafe... until today. The service was friendly and prompt, the coffee was hot and very smooth. DH ordered the bacon cheese burger with fries. I snagged a few of the fries and they were perfect, hot, crispy and right amount of salt. The burger on the other hand wasn't horrible, but not good either as it was dry and over cooked ( dark crunchy crust on the outside) and was lacking in seasoning. I ordered the veggie skillet with the ranch potatoes cooked extra crispy. I even advised our server I would like them almost burnt. The skillet came with sautéed peppers, onion, tomato, mushroom and broccoli, topped with cheddar cheese. I noticed right away that there was no color on the potatoes and asked our server to again make them extra crispy. She returned with the skillet just minutes later. The potatoes were still soggy and I couldn't taste any spices or seasonings. The veggies looked good with the exception of the broccoli. It was pale green and in tiny pieces, my guess would be frozen broccoli that was pulsed in a food processor. I requested she just take the skillet and remove it from the bill, which she did and offered an apology. This seems to be a common occurrence for me at most restaurants. I should learn better than to order this but I seem to hold out hope for crispy, savory, cheesy skillets. I don't eat eggs so I substituted half of a blueberry waffle instead. This was probably the best waffle I have ever had. It was crisp on the edges and warm and fluffy in the inside with the perfect amount of blueberries. This was served with butter that had been whipped and airy with syrup that was not overly sticky sweet. I would definitely return for the waffles but not sure I would be willing to try anything else on the menu. All in all I am still actively searching for the elusive unicorn of perfect skillets but at least I now know where to go when craving waffles. read more

The service is awesome. Clean...my husband ordered ham steak. But he got a cut piece of can ham. I ordered a simple breakfast a waffle and sausage. I eat it all....I think I would come back. And a cute puppy reminds me of my baby coco at home. But yes visiting Chandler Arizona come have breakfast here. read more
