    Wait 10 Minutes just to be looked over and skipped . I literally walk around the whole place and son waiting to be served while another family walks up and they fall over themselves .

    This place just opened on Wednesday. Very spacious and bright inside. Lots of employees, but only two servers with a trainee. Service was good. Especially since they are all new. We ordered a patty melt with fries and a veggie omelet. Both were over cooked a bit. Nothing spectacular.

    This Diner was recommended by our hotel in Vance. The diner has been opened for 6 months. We read a couple of negative reviews on it and weren't going to try it but the ladies at the hotel said it was very good so we decided to give it a try and I am glad we did not follow those reviews. It was VERY good! When you enter the diner you are greeted by the bakery counter. We will get to that later. It is a large diner with tables or you can eat at a counter on a stool. The place is immaculate. We were greeted by our server Taylor D. She was so sweet. We ordered the meatloaf, which was a nice healthy serving and it was delicious! Our side dishes were mashed potatoes and gravy (homemade with skins and some nice soft chunks mixed in with brown gravy, they were delicious!), collard greens (which were very tasty), and the BEST fried green tomatoes around. The meal came with a cheese biscuit as well. Even the iced tea would make any southerner happy. Like I said, the young lady who waited on us was Taylor. She was so sweet and attentive to us. We had a couple of nice conversations with her. Be sure to ask for her. After we demolished our meal, we decided we were stuffed but could not resist ordering some dessert to take back to the hotel. It was a difficult choice, but we selected a slice of strawberry cake and coconut cake. Taylor said that her favorite was the original cheesecake but we went with the cake. They were nice sized slices (I forgot to take a picture BEFORE we ate them). The strawberry cake was moist and the icing was just right. Delicious! The coconut cake was the winner in my book. Oh my WORD it was so good. It was so moist and the coconut mixed icing was amazing! It paired very well with coffee. My hubby and I split and shared desserts. Husband's meal was $10.99 with 2 sides and mine was 11.99 because I added a third side. I highly recommend you try Sadie's Diner in Vance. You will not be disappointed.

Philly omelette- very good but I wish I order it with 2 eggs over easy or sunny side up instead. Very good but the Philly cheesesteak and Trash Can with a lid stole the thunder. So so good, we return the next day. And I got the Trash can with a lid with both spicy sausages and Philly cheese. Yummy!

Thankfully free parking was available. I walked in at the perfect time, just as the breakfast grill was shutting down and the lunch grill was heating up. I was 5 minutes pass breakfast, as told by the waitress. She was so kind and told me that she would ask, if they (he) could prepare a breakfast for me. The answer was yes, but no grits. Oh well, let's try the omelette and hash brows. I'm really not into hash browns but these were delicious! Crispy and perfectly round. The omelette was also good and fluffy. The coffee was a good robust cup of coffee. This is a real old school diner. Counter seats with a few booths to the side. No frills here. Decent diner food with great friendly service. By the time I finished my breakfast, the lunch crowd was starting to come in for a seat at the counter and booths. I heard someone say, this is the best Philly cheesesteak in the area. Anyways, this was a pleasant place to have a good simple meal with some awesome service. The only reason I'm not giving 5* is because of not being able to get the grits, which was my fault for not getting there a little sooner. I will definitely come back.

Friend took me there (bama alum) and great find. Food is as expected for southern food. Menu has daily mix of the choice of "meat" and "vegetables" with a special on the board. Food was hot and served timely. Friend had hamburger fried steak w mash potatoes and greens. He left nothing on the plate I had the lemon pepper chicken - daily special and fried okra, Lima beans and coleslaw. It was delicious Ambiance hasn't changed in decades. Don't expect more than that and appreciate the nostalgia

Out of our entire trip in Alabama, this ended up being our favorite restaurant based on our experience with their lunch meat and three options. We were here on a Friday and selected from an array of choices for this day. We went with chicken strips, hamburger steak with onions and gravy, fried catfish fingers, fried okra, candied yams, turnip greens, mac & cheese, stuffed eggs, and peach cobbler. Although I would like to rank each option, I find it difficult to do so as each was very tasty and unique. The hamburger steak was very savory accompanied by turnip greens with their earthy flavor, a side of corn bread, concluded with peach cobbler, and washed down with sweet, iced tea. It was three of us and we were tasting all our endless selections such as fried catfish with mac & cheese, fried okra, and candied yams. The list goes on. Next time I am visiting my alma mater, I will return to City Cafe specifically on either Tuesday or Thursday lunch to try out their fried green tomatoes. I am a novice at best when it comes to southern food, but you must trust me in this. City Cafe is the best meat and three in the whole region.
