We found the cafe based on great Yelp reviews, but we had a mixed experience. The shop is cute and…read moreclean with a dozen tables/booths. Vintage local photos decorate the wall. You order at the counter then find a seat. The menu is a mix of sandwiches and subs with daily featured soups. We both ordered a special half sub and soup. The staff is friendly and efficient. The bacon potato soup was thick, hearty and delicious. It tasted freshly made. We really loved the soup. My husband ham and cheese sub had one thin slice of ham. He was disappointed. My tuna sub was terrible. The tuna was taken out of a can and put on bread without any seasoning or prep. The tuna had a funny taste. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing. They were busy. Soup seemed to be popular. There is street parking nearby.

Pizza was wrong, skimpy topping and waited over 45 minutes for a luke warm pizza, crust was doughy.read more

I went only because I wanted to see Logansport and wanted to eat on a patio on the river. I give 3…read morestars mainly for the patio being clean and the staff being super nice, otherwise the food was extremely bland and greasy. Ordered popcorn shrimp and with corn on the side, the corn was not fresh at all, I could see some pieces darker in color telling me it was stale, the other entree we got was grilled salmon, which was not really grilled but seemed boiled and with no taste. It's sad we were the only customers for a good two hours we were there for.

I was the first to review this place back in 2022 (I think it was) and time after time the food was…read moregood. That's changed! Now what used to be our fav place to go is no longer on the list after several "checks". First few times when food is lacking, you make excuses. When there isn't anything good any longer, then it's time to stop. Once I ordered something so hideous and they didn't do anything about it. I ordered a Monte Cristo and it was a milky mush. Couldn't pick it up, had to use fork. Even though I'd never had a Monte Cristo like that, I tried to eat it. I gagged and couldn't eat it. I was told they got a new chef. No, not a chef, they did not get a chef because it wasn't even close to a sandwich, let alone what I ordered. They didn't even offer to remake, refund, or anything. Looking at the plate, it didn't take much to understand they needed a new chef, again. Also, if at all possible read the Health Inspection Reviews regarding restaurants here in Logansport. You'd be surprised what your food is subject to. This place has had hits and another reason why, it's off our list. Don't want to mention what because I can't be sure, but it was enough for us to definitely not want to eat there.

That, plus a good bet for a standard American breakfast, a decent collection of burgers and a lot more. My usual reaction to an "everything but the kitchen sink" menu is negative, but Marilu's makes it work. The decor is classic mid to upper end Mexican restaurant. Surprisingly, not all of the servers speak Spanish (asking for something with nopales was a non-starter). But the service was friendly and fast, and the dishes tasty and generous.

My last review stands but with updates. While I'd still say this has to be the best place available…read morein Peru, there are some inconsistencies. The ordering process is quirky. During the day, you order at the counter. Menus on a barrel to peruse. Nothing on the wall. You normally receive a number (not today) & your beverages & food are brought to your table. Today, I was given my coffee & water at the counter to carry, but my food was brought out. So, it's counter prepay, & you tip at that time, but it's also self serve at the condiment station while you're also being waited on table side somewhat, some of the time. Confused yet? I did dine here once during dinner hours. Since I was used to the other process, I didn't know you are seated in the evening & fully waited on. I like dinner time best though it's busier. You can get takeout anytime & sweets to go from the case or table. I believe they cater & might possibly deliver, at least for groups. There is also a section which can be reserved. I hadn't been in for a couple months, & hadn't seen my favorite lady for even longer. From chatting today, I don't think she remembered me. The man working the floor is especially great. He's a food runner & busser, etc. I was confused today, as was he, as he'd set something on my table while I was prepping my coffee at the sugar station. He asked if I'd had a bread stick or a pretzel, so I responded it was a pretzel because I had indeed ordered a pretzel stick from the menu. He ended up bringing out a full size pretzel after I sat down, & I felt badly because he thought I'd ordered that. I discovered the pretzel STICK is the same as a bread stick. He was friendly & told us to enjoy the mistake. The person with me was happy to find a device charging station. I'm not sure those are available at every table nor if WiFi is offered. The first timer liked her peach tea. You can get sweetened, unsweetened, or half n half. Cheese sauce is nacho with a lil kick. I fully appreciate that the staff will make me a fresh pot of decaf when I come in. Apparently, decaf isn't too popular around here, I'm finding. I rolled with it, but Garden Gate had Folgers in the past. The Kroger brand they used today definitely didn't taste as good. When I walked up to get a refill, I noticed it was really weak & watered down. I could see through it more than tea. Sometimes you get refills at your table. Not consistently anymore. None today. No non-dairy creamer or milk options nor raw sugar. Again, I roll with it. It's not really a coffee shop per-se. However, with "cafe" in the name... Garden Gate has surprisingly good spaghetti. Not like what I can make at home, but far better than what I expected during visits before today. I would like to see more plant based options, but I remember what town I'm in. You get used to making due with what you can get around here. No fish on the menu either nor any fried foods. Sandwiches come with chips or slaw. They do have a fired pizza oven. If you like meatloaf and mashed potatoes with green beans, this would be the perfect place for you. They have daily specials on a board. Their veggie wrap is okay. The bread/pretzel sticks are buttered & also okay. Mashed potatoes, great. Never had the green beans since may contain bacon. Garden Gate good with accommodating substitution requests. I do like the long bench in back so you can sit as you wait for carryout or to be seated in the evening. Quality furnishings & ambience although the barrels from the brewery this once housed don't exactly jive. It's nice there is a private parking lot with a side door since street parking downtown can be hairy, especially this close to the courthouse. Some outdoor seating. A lot more seating inside & much better air conditioning than the old location. Better tables and chairs which are actually comfortable unlike the old place. I don't like that they pool tips. I tip extremely well, & I would like it to go to the person I tipped. I'm also not a fan of tipping at the beginning of the visit. I'll over tip & not get stellar service afterward. Did they even see it? Now I feel like George Costanza. I have been given rather large to go cups of decaf in the past. I didn't even want to ask for one today. It's usually clean though sometimes the tables & ladies' room could use extra care. Dirty tables can pile up at times. Confusing system. Good food but not much that I want. I really just go to have somewhere in this town to sit & to KNOW it's actually decaf in my cup. Sometimes it's loud, sometimes not. Service isn't quite what it was when this location first opened. It can be hit or miss where I can feel #1 or forgotten. Service usually good but not above and beyond like 6 months ago. I'm sure I'll return because, honestly, where else am I going to go? Possibly the best in Peru, yes, but I'm adjusting stars for everything stated above. It could easily be a five with some tweaks, but I won't hold my breath.

Lobster quesadilla! Yes, please! Lobster quesadillas in a quaint little town-I'm impressed! The flavor of this did not disappoint either. It was very tasty! At first glance, I was concerned because the filling was very minimal. It was very very flavorful and definitely enough lobster filling. The pico was extremely fresh and I've enjoyed having the peppers and jalapeños in it. it was not too spicy, it was just right. I also did the up charge and got the Tom Thai soup. They asked if I wanted crackers or bread. I was thinking is that a question? I very cheerfully stated, "I will take the bread!" Even though the bread did not have a lot of flavor, it was fresh, warm and very comforting to eat. This will definitely be a new place I will be stopping at any time I'm in the area. The only reason for the four star is, I also ordered an unsweet tea and they forgot to put it in my bag. (All drinks are bottled-no fountain drinks) therefore, I had to turn around and go back and get it. Thankfully, I was only a few blocks away when I noticed it was not in my bag.
