Did a yelp search for breakfast diners and this one came up. I wanted a good old fashioned diner experience. I walked in from the cold and was greeted by the friendly and attentive staff. Was seated immediately. I got the waffle platter. The food was prepared quickly and brought out in segments. They explained the waffle would be out shortly but they put the other plate out. The food was standard fare but the waffle really had a good taste to it, and the butter and syrup was very good. All throughout the staff checked up on me and I was very pleased with the attentiveness. It seems like this is a locally owned place and independent. If you are in the area definitely stop by and support them. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner. I would try them again for their lunch and dinner options. read more

Decent food, friendly service, but not good for gluten free. Had lunch while I was in Smyrna for work several weeks ago. The owner and his wife greeted us, took our orders, he cooked the food, and worked the register when we were leaving. The food was okay. I had a blue cheese burger which was pretty good. I would not, however, recommend this to anyone seeking a gluten free meal. I was able to make it work, but not necessarily a wise decision if you have an allergy. For instance, the owner swore to me that no seasoning ever have gluten in them (which is not true). I might go back, but maybe not. read more

Not a soul here as I entered Sunday afternoon. We shall see how the catfish turned out. I'm getting it to go. Delicious and crispy catfish with great seasoning. The broccoli is steamed perfectly and the green beans are real good. Not oily and not with pork, which is healthier and right up my alley. Spread the word these guys can cook. read more

The experience was amazing. The food was great and the atmosphere is chilled. Get the corned beef! Delicious. read more

We had a great breakfast--Sunday 10:30 no wait, Wife and I LOVE breakfast...Food was good, service spot on. We had the basics and all we were good. Best part-it's a family business, we were constantly checked on and everyone there genuinely wanted our visit to be positive-we loved it. Not a chain, franchise or corporate location..it's worth a visit-great people and great food. read more

The Ruben was great! Service was awesome and friendly atmosphere. It's located on a corner right next to Publix so easy in and out.

My waffle and chicken was delicious!! Very friendly owners and servers! It was super clean too! I highly recommend!!!

Good food and friendly service. The reuban sandwich is huge and filling. The ham and cheese omelet was very good. I will be coming back.

I've only gone in once. The ambiance is very "diner" and a little dark. The menu is varied and the Patty Melt was top notch! One of the best I've ever had! I'll be back. read more

Food was mediocre. Nice music. Friendly staff. It was clean. Had biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs. Eggs were real. Gravy tasted like pre-made kind. read more

Solid diner breakfast and wonderfully nice owners and family running the place. Biscuits and gravy were very good for any place in TN.

We both really enjoyed our dishes. Wife had vegetable pasta and I had country fried steak, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. We both loved our dishes. The Mac and cheese was amazing! Mashed potatoes were great and freshly prepared from scratch. Owners were very friendly and we had good service and the atmosphere was very relaxing. We'll definitely be back! read more

was on my way to get Greek down the street, and saw a sign that said meatloaf. I had to stop in and try. I was very skeptical at first, inside was very basic, nothing special but, OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is my new favorite place! I live in Murfreesboro and will have to make the 20 minute drive! The owner was kind and super to get along with: I was the only one there so we got to know each other a little. GREAT place. Can't wait to try the other dishes he has! read more

Smyrna Cafe - Waffle, eggs, bacon, and potatoes Two big chicken biscuits with eggs and potatoes Eggs and mini waffles for kids - Burgers Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

I'm in the neighborhood often for work and stopped in once before. I had a similar experience the first time I visited and consistency is so rare. I was greeted by the owners and made to feel welcome. We had some small talk, he took my order, and my food came out quickly. I got the biscuits and gravy with some eggs. Perfect over medium eggs and pretty darn good biscuits and gravy. If I lived closer, they wouldn't be able to get rid of me. Looking forward to trying something else next time I'm there. read more

Friendly owners and staff, delicious food, and great experience. We both ordered the waffle platter and it was so good! Highly recommend! We will be back soon! read more

Kind people and good food! Stopped in on our way to Georgia and the staff was so amazing and attentive

Great customer service, as other reviewers noted. They even gave us some bottles of water and sweet tea to take with us when they found out we were hitting the road for Mississippi. We were trying to eat light so we didn't try any of their specialities, but the food we tried was good, especially the biscuits. read more

This was our first visit and the food tasted great. It was around 4:30pm and between the lunch and dinner rush so we actually had the whole place to ourselves. The owner was very helpful offering us his recommendations and everything we had was very good. I had one of their signature dishes, the meatloaf, with excellent mashed potatoes and green beans. My partner had the blue cheese burger with fries and he raved about it. We shared the caramel cheesecake for dessert and also enjoyed that. We'll definitely be back! read more

We found this restaurant via Yelp and opted to check it out. We like local eateries and this one was highly recommended and very local. The restaurant itself is immaculate and obviously well cared for. There is a light classical music playing in the background I very much enjoyed. The waitress was friendly and fast. We ordered chicken and waffles, pancakes and biscuits and gravy. The food came out fast and was hot and well prepared. The chicken and waffles was especially good. The man that brought us the check was extremely pleasant. He is Egyptian and very outgoing. He is very obviously proud of his business and he should be. Our bill was 65 dollars for four people that were well fed and that is very reasonable. read more

We've been meaning to come here to try it, and finally had the chance. Inside is open and very clean, plenty of places to sit at 9am on a Friday. Greeted immediately by one of the owners and coffee given very quickly. Hubby got the country fried steak and eggs and I had hot chicken and waffle. Everything was very tasty. The owners are extremely friendly and wanted to make sure we were happy at every opportunity. We will come again, and you should too! Support small local businesses. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my wife, we are always looking for new locally owned places to eat. I'm glad we stopped in, the service was super friendly. I'm assuming it was the owners that greeted us and made sure we were happy. My wife had a blank and ble burger and enjoyed it, I had a gyro which wasn't so great but I knew better than to order it from a cafe. I would go back for lunch. I enjoyed the experience read more

One of my all time favorite places. Great service and great food. I would be there everyday if I could.

READ FULLY. I found a paper straw wrapper in my corned beef hash. Let me note that he said in his reply that they don't serve straws with paper wrappers, luckily for me and my defense I found a review on Google posted a week ago with PROOF!. It was folded up and didn't know what it was till I unwrapped it fully. This was literally someone else's leftovers and trash that I ate!!! I called and the guy said he would give me 50% money back since I ate the eggs. This is NOT how you run a business! Do not eat here. This is disgusting! Also to the owner. Do not reply with some generic message. You were rude and this is completely unacceptable! Edit: believe me, if we knew I would have found trash in my food we wouldn't have eaten it! You're seriously talking about how I got "free eggs" just because I ate them? If I would have known about the trash underneath them, don't you think I wouldn't have eaten it?! Ignorant response. I don't understand how it got there but you saying you use plastic and not paper does not make this matter any better! Explain to me why other reviews with pictures show straws with paper.. make it make sense. I didn't even order a drink! So why the heck was it in my food! BAD BUSINESS!!! Your response was useless. You only agreed to a full refund after I had told you I would post my picture on yelp! Nice try buddy! Also let me add that your comment about "I like bossy women" was highly unprofessional!!! You're disgusting. Let me add more because the owners illogical response has me irritated. And I'm not the one. This place was MUCH better as a sushi restaurant. The please now looks dilapidated and just straight foul, I should have known better. I have no idea how it has such high reviews. Take your business to a REAL locally owned restaurant. There's a good cafe near the roundabout in Smyrna. That's actually where I wanted to go but instead gave this place a try...for the first...and last time. It is very sad that the owner wants to shift blame and tries to cover his ass instead of just apologizing respectfully without the crappy attitude. Every negative review on yelp he does this. If he's been a business owner for however long he says (as if that matters) then he should know how to own up and handle things accordingly. Good riddance! read more
