This is our local spot for breakfast or brunch. They also do lunch items but we haven't really tried that yet. Have never had a problem parking, there is an outside patio but if you go during the weekday there are often smokers out there so we stay inside. The service is consistently top notch and the staff exhibits great team work. We usually order one of the specials, my favorites are "the city" and the monte cristo sandwich. My friend got the steak and eggs on sunday and was happy with it. The coffee was great and always full! The only downside is the checks/ bill have to be taken to the pay station by the entrance and if it's a weekend crowd, the area gets kinda tight. NOT a big deal but it's a factual situation and some people aren't so patient. read more

This place is clean, friendly, attractive and comfortable. The food is outstanding and has all your comfort favorites. Portions are generous so bring you appetites!! The new owners and staff are friendly and so nice. They really make you feel welcome . I will definitely put this place on my list of favorites and make it a regular. Can't wait to bring friends and family to enjoy!! read more

I may have dropped in at a bad time, but my breakfast was... well, awful. I ordered a simple two eggs over easy, bacon, home fries, and rye toast. What could possibly go wrong? The eggs and rye toast were fine. The bacon was thin and limp. But the so-called home fries were abysmal. There was not a hint of crispness. It was like they were steamed rather than fried. A comment to the waitress was left unheeded, she seemed more interested in the table of eight loud and boisterous seniors. (BTW, I'm a senior) Probably won't go back, but they seem to have a loyal following, so my boycott won't matter much. read more

I have been visiting the Peoria Cafe off and on over the last 20 years or so covering several different owners often with differing levels of food quality and service. The current owner, who is very hands on and can be seen in the kitchen as well as on the floor, apparently "gets it", and it shows. Good food with a good value. As mentioned previously, this 'locals" cafe sits within a newly remodeled strip mall. The cafe interior itself has been remodeled and upgraded over the last couple of years in segments. The staff is a good mix of of long time and new employees. Everyone is friendly. I had breakfast at the cafe this morning for the second time in the last week after a long layoff which had nothing to do with the cafe or it's food and more to the fact that I don't eat breakfast out as much now that I'm retired. The reason for my re-visit, I wanted to enjoy their new Mexican Omelette which is principally a mix of chorizo, steak and cheese. My second sampling of this omelette was as good as the first. Ordered: Mexican Omelette Iced Tea Total $11.00 If you want to enjoy a breakfast at a reasonable price, give the Peoria Cafe a try. read more

On my first visit I thouroghly enjoyed this place. From the food to the staff, everything was great and makes you want to come back to explore more. With a vast menu covering everything breakfast and beoynd, there was bound to be a return trip. On my return trip in my waitress was so rude it's turned me off from eating again inside this establishment. When asked if I could do a substitution (due to an allergy) she looked at me as if I was an idiot and rudely asked, "well like what? what do you want me to do?". She was unable to comprehend that I had asked her a question and then proceeded to say "that's not something we do. Well wait, I'm new, let me check...", so ordering something different became an immediate choice. If you don't know something, don't be rude, just ask. From now on I will order out from this place which I have done with success several times since my first visit. The friendliness of the other staff and food still gives hope for this place, but in the end the actions of one representing a whole diminish the brightness that was. read more

Always amazing food. They treat us like we are family. The staff care about our needs and know just how we like items. Always fast and friendly. Love the oatmeal and biscuits and gravy. Coffee is always refreshed ands hot. Make sure to stop in and try the cowboy breakfast. Yummmmmm! read more

We have ordered couple of times for breakfast. They don't skimp on food and very good. Will continue to order take out.

Labor Day was a busy day to have my first breakfast here but it was worth the hour or so wait. I got the two egg breakfast with hash browns and biscuit and gravy, side of crispy bacon. It was worth the wait. The servers were all super friendly and apologized for the wait with a free bowl of menudo. Coffee was always full. All in all great place but probably not on a holiday. read more

First time to this cafe. We are breakfast people and I think the one I had here was great. We stuck to the basic American eggs and toast but the menu is extensive and has a lot of variety. My test is to try and get crispy bacon and it was great the first time. I usually have to give it back to crisp up. Recommend the Peoria Cafe. Will try the Friday fish fry soon. read more

Foods good but service is a little lost. Got forgot about back in the corner. Price & food help overcome this flaw. read more

Comfort food. Good comfort food. Good comfort food with a Southern flair. Breakfast anytime. Biscuits and gravy, Eggs cooked just right. Lots of choices. Spot-on friendly customer service. It was as if we stepped back in time . . . into a 1970s cafe. Our first visit was happenstance . . . a recommendation from a local person. . . . we definitely will be back the next time we are in this neck-of-the-woods. Might even be worth a special trip. Thanks Peoria Cafe. read more

My boyfriend and I love going to Peoria Cafe. They are very welcoming and the food is delicious. I usually always get the red menudo and its my favorite there! My boyfriend always gets the biscuits and gravy. Not only is the food delicious its inexpensive. You can enjoy a great meal for not too much. Most of the waitresses are super nice and very attentive. Love it! read more

Eat local, folks. Seriously though. This place makes me feel at home every darn time I walk in the door. And the food is so good. So so so good. And $7.99 for breakfast that covers the entire plate? crazy. We're talking chicken fried steak. Thats a heck of a deal. If you live in peoria try this place out. Just make sure you get there early because they close at 2. There's always a crowd but I've never once had to wait. Staff is always friendly! read more

WOW WHAT A PLACE. Had lunch for the first today I had a 1/2 lb bacon cheeseburger with fry's. It was the best Berger I haven't eaten in years. Thick juicy and jest dam Good.. The fry's were crisp and hot very good. My wife had the open face Hot Beef Sandwich. And could not eat it all. She is lets say a bit picky when it comes to her hot beef and said this is very very good. She brought what she could not finish home. We will be going back for breakfast this weekend. I suggest you give it a try. And will will be doing the fish fry on Friday night. We will let you know how it is. read more

Best place to go for a quick meal with friendly staff. My husband and I have been going here for about 3 years on a weekly basis. We either try to stop in on Friday's for the Fish Fry (best in the Valley) or on Sunday for breakfast. Either way, we walk out overstuffed because the food is so good, your mind has trouble telling your mouth to stop. Amazing burgers and their breakfast food is way better than anything you would find at a chain restaurant. The staff is always friendly and we never have empty glasses. They are extremely prompt and the longest we have ever had to wait for our food was 7 minutes. It is always reassuring to walk in there and recognize every face in the place. I highly recommend Peoria Café! read more

This was my first experience. Stopped in for breakfast. The service was impeccable. The food was good and the serving size was generous. I will definitely remember this place as a breakfast option. :) read more

First time I went it was close to closing and I ordered fried shrimp with fries. They were totally over cooked. My friend mentioned it to the waitress who said nothing and did nothing. When we were leaving my friend made a comment towards the kitchen which the manager overheard. My friend walked out the door but I stayed to pay. The manager comped the meal and was extremely apologetic for the quality of food and service. I was totally satisfied with the outcome and knew I'd give it a second try. My second visit was awesome. Great service, awesome breakfast, great atmosphere! Will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

I recently moved to Arizona and have been searching for a decent breakfast place for two years. Trying new places several times a week and nothing seemed to make the cut, until this morning. Peoria Cafe was on the list to try and I finally got to it. I was immediately welcomed by the hostess who asked our preference on table or booth, we were sat and within 30 seconds we were greeted by Annie M, a warm and welcoming woman who was incredibly sweet to my son and I. I ordered the coffee and he got the tea. Coffee was excellent, not burnt or too strong like most other places I've been to. She also brought ice water with lemon, and that was such a nice add that more people should do. Lemon was a thick slice of perfection. Nothing soggy or browning like other places also. Excellent variety on the menu and fair prices. Our food came very quickly. My son ordered the cheeseburger, it wasn't a cheap frozen patty it appeared to be fresh ground beef. I ordered breakfast with hashbrowns, sausage, eggs, toast. Everything was cooked to perfection. The veggies on the cheeseburger were fresh, thick and plump, with excellent flavor. Not the skimpy thin tomato you'd been trained to expect. Our service was above average. Annie was so sweet and on top of everything, we will be back and we'll request her. Excited to be a new regular. read more

The food here is always good and the service is great. It has certainly grown since the last time we were here some six years back. I only wish they had a larger hot sauce selection, all they had was some red sauce in a oil dispenser. The pancakes were big and tasted good, the turkey club was tasty. I didn't like the French fries so I'll make sure to ask for onion rings next time. And the sausage patties were kinda salty. Ultimately, this is a really nice place to come with friends or family. read more

So I think it's the amount of people they are trying to pack in this joint that makes the noise so much louder, but I had a hard time just talking to my friend in front of me without having to speak louder. Regardless, the food was pretty basic. Big portions and it filled me up. The potatoes were pretty good, but I douse mine in ketchup. My omelet didn't have a lot of taste but the raisin bread was SO GOOD. I love raisin bread and they buttered it perfectly. The coffee has a very woodsy taste and I drink it black so it wasn't too strong and wasn't too weak. Our waitress was a little odd. She was apologizing for everything even when nothing was wrong, so I'm not sure if it was from a bad experience with a customer on her part or what, but it was kind of annoying. Overall, the food was average, service was average. Nothing special about it. read more

Place had great food and fantastic service before thr pandemic. Food is still good, but the service is terrible. And to make it worse, the manager is still at a table in the dining area, vaping while customers are eating. I'm never going back read more

My husband and I went to Peoria Cafe for the first time this past Friday 4/20 specifically for the all you can eat Fish N Chips. We both ended up getting them single serving fish in chips and the batter was perfect not salty and you get more fish then batter and it was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to go on the weekend to try their Menudo! Oh and their homemade bread pudding was bomb! Thank you for the awesome 1st time experience and the wonderful service!!! read more

I had a chicken salad it was very fresh as well as the tea nice and fresh, my bf had the all you can eat fried fish which is on Fridays and it was delicious!!! Very clean staff very friendly staff!! Will return !! read more

Friday fish fries are a must! The staff is always incredibly friendly and the food is always fast and delicious. A great place for kids, they have mickey mouse pancakes that are adorable. They need better bathrooms but that is minor issue with the great food that they have! read more

Solid breakfast place. The eggs and bacon were well prepared. The pancakes were golden. The service was good. The place is solid, but nothing special or mind blowing (in my opinion). Good, but not great. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for years and love the food! They have great pricing for the portions you get. The wait staff has always been really friendly too. Try out their specials like the city, town or valley for your traditional breakfast items. Their chicken fried steak and chorizo platter are great too! read more

I went in on a Friday for lunch, I HAD to try the fish fry after reading all these great reviews about it. Im sad to say that I was dissapointed with the fish fry. The batter was good, but the fish didnt taste so good. The place was extremely busy, so it might just be me that didnt enjoy it; I might return and try out some breakfast, hopefully that is a little better. read more

Great clean coffee shop. Prices good food very good service very good. Burger may be the best in town, really. Hand patted patties very good. read more

Peoria Cafe - 1/2 lbs burger. Really good $7.99 - American Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

My family came into town for the weekend so we decided to try this restaurant out. It was really good and the amount of food was great my daughter and I shared the French toast combo which was really good. My family from out of town enjoyed their dishes as well! We will definitely go back and I highly recommend this place to others. read more

Was on the "military diet" when I went for a work meeting, and they had all the items I could only eat on the sides menu! It was great quality and delicious. Friendly employees! Always kept my coffee coming! Thank you! read more

Picked this place as it was new to us and we had a great experience. Service was great, food was good and price was good. Place was clean and looked nice but more so atmosphere was inviting. Will be back. read more

so we finally stopped in for breakfast.... I say finally because we drive by this lace at least three times a week. The whole plaza it sits in has been remolded, and we discovered that the cafe has been too - it looks great. I wouldn't call the cafe 'cozy', but I will take new and clean over dingy and outdated any time. Breakfast was only slightly above average, but taking the service and the price into consideration earns the cafe four starts. If you want fast and satisfactory food and a moderate price, this is a good option to place on your rotation. I don't think we would swing by for dinner - not our style, but we WILL be back for breakfast. I suspect we will be stopping by for lunch at some point too. read more

We have been going to here for breakfast just about for the last four years to present and every time it has been the best place we have enjoyed the most .. we have tried other places but we seem to always come back here !! The staff is great and but we do have a favorite waitress, Melonie thank you so much for everything, your the best !! Keep up the great job!! Paul and Lucy read more

This place never disappoints. The service is amazing. The food is so comforting. Best cafe I have been to in a very long time.

The Fish fry is awesome, and I always liked going there, but what happened to my parents last Friday evening was just horrible I thought. If you've eaten there, you know how much food they give you on a regular order. Well my parents are both in their 80's and they don't eat much anymore, well they can't even finish an order between the two of them. Well they ordered one meal and asked the waitress for another plate so they could share it, well the waitress told them they could not do that. They both needed to order their own meal, so in order for my mom to stay at the table she needed to order something for herself. Well she refused and then the waitress then went to the owners and she proceeded to tell her the same thing, so she ended up having to order a bowl of soup. She told the owner that this was the last time she would be eating at their restaurant. And that goes for me and my wife as well! read more

Came to breakfast with my granddaughter and Liz was our server, she was friendly, Funny and very helpful. Food was great definitely will return. read more
