    Wow, this place is great. Priced right, fast friendly service and easy to get in. We were seated and served in less than 10 minutes. My wife (who can be a little picky) said, this is my new favorite breakfast place. Clean and comfortable.

    Bacoado omlette and a bunch of potatoes
    Jen D.

    This is a sweet gem in mid cities. The potatoes were perfect. This is one of the only places we have been that really knows how to make eggs!! Service was wonderful. We love having another option for breakfast in the area. Highly recommended!

    It's right in front of the Trinity High School. Really cute setup. Quaint, humble, and clean. Service was wonderful and friendly. There seems to be a few regulars that are retired and enjoy this cafe. We ordered the chicken fried steak with hash browns and Two Egg Breakfast with Belgian waffle combo along with coffees and chocolate milk for the kid and kid pancakes. Everything was delicious and decently priced. Food came out fast and fresh. Hash browns were perfectly crispy along the edges. Nice place and good value for the cost.

    Migas, potatoes, cinnamon french toast, and biscuits and gravy

    Well, I feel like a fool for not visiting this location on a regular basis! We came here after getting some seriously rude service by the hostess at the local Denny's and deciding a different option would be best that day. I was impressed from the moment I walked into Mid Cities Cafe up to the moment I left. We were enthusiastically greeted by a lovely young woman who asked us our preference on seating (booth or table) and seated us at an available booth. Our server came out shortly and was extremely gregarious and smiling wide, while seeming completely authentic. After he took our order, we enjoyed the lovely, quiet, quaint atmosphere of the cafe. The decor is well done and provides visual interest without seeming busy. We ordered the cinnamon french toast, migas, biscuits and gravy, and a side of potatoes. Everything was wonderful! I'm actually salivating just thinking about it, honestly. We had not a single complaint. The coffee was also good, it tasted like an American brew, but lacked the bitterness that so many diners seem to have in their coffee. If there is one thing I could suggest, it would be to provide fresh salsa with the migas (or any other southwest inspired dish). They had cholula at the table, which is great, but I do dearly love me some fresh salsa! But that is super nitpicky, and certainly won't stop us from coming back very soon!

    The atmosphere and aesthetic gave a brightening welcoming earthy feel! Of course the food was amazing and received superb service by Aidan! We got the Crossaint Benedict and Bacado burger and it was delicious! Love the fact that the background music is not too loud so you can hold a conversation with your party. Will definitely come again!!!

    Very clean and nice place to eat breakfast, lunch or brunch. I have been coming here for breakfast and brunch. So when my son asked for breakfast, I remembered of this place. He ordered steak and egg and it was gone in minutes. I always ordered the corn beef hash and this time with house potatoes and pancake. Never tried their pancake before, but it was biiiiiig and perfect. Super filled with their delicious meals. The waiting staff, Anthony, was very attentive and kind. The owner was always checking on us too. I have no complaints and cannot think of anything they could do better. They are already so good! This is my breakfast/brunch to go, always!!!! If you are in the area, please come and check them out. You won't be disappointed.

    Cinnamon French toast finished (good) and one order late arriving. Bacon not good. Wish I had ordered the sausage.

    We ended up here one busy morning when other restaurants were packed with long lines. This is a bit off the main restaurant thoroughfare so that may account for being able to be seated immediately. We both ordered cinnamon French toast - mine with bacon, his with sausage. The French toast was quite good; I would look forward to trying it again. The bacon was inedible - it's flavor to my taste buds was almost rancid. Very disappointing. His sausage was quite sage-y flavor-wise but I liked my small bite. Eggs were eggs, as ordered, well, almost. He wanted his eggs scrambled but they were delivered over medium as mine were correctly. We think we were not clear on his order. Disappointing was the service. The restaurant filled after we arrived, partially with friends of our young waiter, who seemed more interested in talking with his friends rather than tend to the old people over there! We had to wait way too long for an order to be corrected and coffee to be served. We would return, and hope that service improves and would definitely skip the bacon next time.

    Love coming here for breakfast! It's close, local and the customer service is top notch. I only order the Biscuit omelette because it's so freaking delicious I don't want to venture away from it. I just try new things on my husbands plate lol. If you are in the area swing by! Enjoy!!

    Clean pleasant atmosphere. Of the six tables occupied, no one has received a coffee refill. I've been waiting for 20 minutes, as the waitress/greeter/cashier has passed my empty cup. Get to person some help. Kitchen takes way too long. Chorizo and eggs. A looking disgusting looking pile. Taste like eggs and Greece. Bisquits, who toast a fresh bisquit? And no butter to be found. The fruit cup, cold and delicious. I'll tip the 20% these things aren't the waitress fault. But I won't be back.

Cody was our server and he was courteous and lively, and overall we really liked the cozy vibe inside. Plenty of space inside for large groups and can be intimate enough for date night too. We ordered the spicy calamari, a Caesar salad, and a pasta sampler to share. First, the complimentary garlic rolls came out, and they might have been my favorite part of the meal. Incredibly buttery, soft, and flavorful. The calamari had a nice batter and savoriness but my girlfriend noted that the green onion garnish tasted off and seem spoiled. We let Cody know and he hopefully relayed that to the chef to let them know. The Caesar salad was pretty typical but enjoyable nonetheless. We got the pasta sampler and the first thing I noticed was that the sauce tasted pretty one dimensional and a bit too sweet for my liking. I'm no Italian food expert but I found it to be at the same level as canned sauces. The cheese fillings and pasta themselves were pretty good and there no complaints there. The meatball also suffered from being a bit bland and had the same problem with the sauce. Maybe it was just an off day, and I do understand they are a family business. Hoping that if I try dining here again I'll have a much better experience than this one.

I don't think that is a bad thing, it is my favorite cream cheese. It is just different. It comes with chips or waffle fries and salsa. I will say, their salsa is terrible. I do really like their grilled chicken avocado sandwich. It comes with two huge pieces of bacon on it, that I have to cut up and redistribute, but it is a tasty sandwich. I get it without ranch, I don't think it needs it. Their fries are crispy and salty, and hit the spot. They have a nice happy hour and the service has always been good. The restaurant is clean.

If I pop in by myself to get some work done and grab lunch, I either have to take up a giant table or sit at the bar.

The burger was --full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and that pepper jack + jalapeño combo hit just right. The street corn? Next level. I added their "Sweet Heat" (or Street Heat) sauce and it took it up another notch--sweet with a kick. Perfect balance. I'm not gonna lie...
