    Homestyle Breakfast.

    Great place that serves home cooking. It's right across from the courthouse. Save room for dessert, since there are plenty of options.

    3 Piece Fried Chicken special

    As I work my way through clearing out my parents' longtime home following my father's recent death, I've also been revisiting some old and familiar places along the way. After a brief stop at the house tonight, I decided to stop in and revisit Mayberry Cafe. I have known the owners of the Mayberry for many years, partly because they knew my parents and partly because my path used to cross with one of them. As I don't really live in this area, I don't get here often. However, with my father's death I'm spending more and more time in this area and tonight decided to do a revisit. Mayberry Cafe is, of course, an Andy Griffith-show themed restaurant complete with decor centered around the show and a menu that really celebrates Southern dining. There's a police car off to the side of the building reminiscent of that featured in the show (it used to be out front but kept getting hit). While the owners were not in-house tonight, I really was in the mood for a quality meal and decided this would hit the spot. The visit started off a bit rough as I waited several minutes for service - the person manning the front believed I was with another party (NOTE: I will say this was a bit of a stereotype since there was another wheelchair in that party). It took them leaving and me staying for her to realize I actually needed service. Once that got straightened out, however, things were fine and familiar as I've always enjoyed both food and service here. I was taken to a comfortable table. It's worth noting that there's two floors to this restaurant and there's actually an elevator (the staircase is obvious; the elevator not as much but is available). Parking in this area is either alongside the building or around the courthouse. Parking is free with a 2-hour time limit around the courthouse. For disabled parking, the time limit is 5 hours. This actually is a neat little square, though it's not all accessible. Mayberry itself has a nicely done concrete ramp into the restaurant. My server, Jenn, was super friendly and helpful. She seemed surprised when I asked about the owners (I was secretly hoping they'd be in, though I knew a Sunday evening would make it unlikely). I ordered one of their specials - a 3-piece chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and one veggie for $15.99. I got my usual unsweetened iced tea. This food really is about true southern cooking. It's not glamorous. It's not knock your socks off. It's simply good southern cooking at a fair price. I preferred my mashed potatoes without gravy and that's how I got it. The chicken was delicious. The mashed potatoes were wonderful. I was less fond of the cole slaw I also ordered - I doubt I would order it again. I got my usual iced tea refill. Customers were friendly. Employees were friendly - one, in particular, raved about the job and was excited I knew the owners. She raved about them. This was a rather poignant visit for me coming off my father's death last week and funeral earlier this week. Yet, it felt healing to revisit the place and remember family visits. My parents loved this place and my mother, in particular, loved the owners. These days, I'm going places that make me feel better and that's what happened here. I still don't live close, but this visit really reminded me that Mayberry Cafe is worth going out of the way.

    My husband and I went on a lil culinary adventure and we stopped at the Mayberry Cafe for a lil nosh. It's really cute inside and has a lot of lil homages to the TV show. The menu has cute little names after characters. Service was fine.

    3 Piece Fried Chicken
    Patricia Abigail H.

    Very very delicious chicken and more delicious apple pie, I haven't been to this place but it was supposed to give the vibe from the tv show Andy Griffith, I've seen the show and other people that love the show also loves this place. The service was good, there was a hiccup where one of our companions side didn't get to the table until later in the meal but she was apologetic and it was still good. I love that they incorporated the tv show in the menu as well

    Fried mushrooms

    The mushrooms and mashed potatoes were good. The meatloaf and green beans were decent but I've definitely had better of each of those. The nostalgia of the place makes it worth a stop, though.

    I had not been to Mayberry Cafe when I was a kid and took my son recently. I love the charm of the restaurant. The food is hearty comfort food. I had the breaded tenderloin and Mac and cheese and enjoyed it. My son liked his pizza, but his favorite part was the kids meal token. Kids can use their token to get a treat at the "general store" or they can trade it in for ice cream. Our server was very sweet and our wait time wasn't bad at all. I would definitely return.

    Tenderloin
    Casey S.

    Let's start with AMAZING! I have always loved a good tenderloin, and have heard many great things about this one for a long time. To put it mildly it did not disappoint! The tenderloin here is big, and delicious. Hands down places it in top 3 I have ever had, probably even best. Seasoning was as close to perfect as I can recall, and the loin was thick, but still tender. We tried a couple of sides as well, and were almost as pleased with them too.

    What a fun, character-rich place! Located in a renovated historic movie theater, tons of ambiance…read moreplus frequent live entertainment. The rooftop is a hidden gem, lovely if it's not too hot to sit outside. I was with a group and we got to sample a number of menu items. The shrimp cocktail with little pops of mustard seed was great, as were the short rib egg rolls. Also enjoyed the sirloin with chimichurri and the sesame-crusted seared tuna. Do not miss the "Sticky Foot" dessert - a slab of DELICIOUS date bread pudding with caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream and popcorn on top. YUM. If you're a cocktail fan, I loved the butterscotch/root beer old fashioned. Order it smoked if you're fancy.

Our server Emily was cheerful and informative. A parking garage across the street served us well for dining at this restaurant and attending an event at Hendricks Live across the street. The shrimp cocktail appetizer featured fresh large shrimp with dollops of horseradish on the plate and a nice sauce. I enjoyed the steak frites entree, a generous portion of steak perfectly cooked, served with a delicious broccolini and tasty fries. My sister ordered the chicken marsala and noted that she would have liked more sauce, and the truffle potatoes were delicious. My brother said his huge pork chop was perfect, and my sister in-law recommended the sirloin steak. We had reservations and were seated at a high top table, which is not my preferred way to dine but the restaurant was full so we didn't ask to be moved. We had a bit of a wait for our entrees and chalked that up to it being Saturday night. There is a separate bar area and rooftop dining with igloos available.

    I was looking for a local, non-chain breakfast spot, and this place absolutely hit the spot!…read more As soon as I was escorted to my table, I was immediately distracted by the bakery case filled with fresh-baked desserts. They had everything from cookies and pies to cakes, and I especially loved that they offered so many single-serving dessert options. I ordered the two-egg breakfast and asked for my eggs to be scrambled with cheese. My plate arrived with delicious honey oat toast and what were, without a doubt, the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The texture was perfect! I had forgotten to ask for them crispy, but there was no need--they were lightly crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. The eggs were also cooked perfectly. I really appreciate when the cheese is folded throughout the eggs instead of just being sprinkled on top as an afterthought. It's a small detail that makes a big difference. I'm going to be honest--the table next to me ordered the biscuits and gravy, and I could see the huge chunks of sausage from my seat! It looked so good that I had to order an additional side of biscuits and gravy to go, along with a sausage patty. I can't wait to dig into it later. I'll definitely be back. My only regret is that I didn't bring anyone with me! The portions are generous, and this is the kind of place where it's fun to share a few dishes so everyone can sample something different. If you're looking for a locally owned breakfast spot with great food, generous portions, and an incredible bakery, Bread and Breakfast Cafe & Bakery is absolutely worth a visit.

    Stopped in on a Friday around noon and there was about a 10-minute wait, which honestly wasn't bad…read moreconsidering how busy they were. We split a bowl of soup and they kindly served it in separate bowls for us, which I appreciated. The soup of the day was corn chowder and wow, I was surprised how good it was, I do love soups. I'd never tried corn chowder before, but it was creamy, flavorful, and comforting. I ordered the half salad/half sandwich combo. The smoked salmon niçoise salad had a blend of interesting flavors and the dressing paired perfectly with it. For the sandwich, I chose the BLTEA, and unfortunately this was the disappointing part of the meal. The avocado on it was clearly overripe/bad, so dark, mushy, and it gave the sandwich an unpleasant taste. I removed as much as I could, but it still affected the flavor. It was a bummer because this spot usually tastes very fresh. I've had it before and the avocado was fresh, along with the orchard salad which I loved. I would say the orchard salad is my fave. They make their dressings homemade and the dressing for the orchard salad was delicious. The service was still very friendly, and since they were slammed busy, I didn't feel like making a fuss about it. Everything else we had was enjoyable. The inside is small and quaint since it's a house turned restaurant, so it has a cozy but lively ambiance when crowded. One of the best perks here is definitely the made from scratch desserts. I love checking out the dessert case because the staff will happily explain each option and answer questions. There's something oddly satisfying about watching them slice the desserts too. I took a lemon cheesecake to go and absolutely loved it. I've also tried the blackberry wine cake which is a staple and delicious. A seasonal dessert that was really good was the pumpkin pie. You really can't go wrong with home made desserts here.
