I had a great lunch here while I was passing through! I saw the menu on Yelp and I decided to check the Gateway Cafe out, and I'm so happy I did. My server was very kind and helpful and gave a perfect recommendation which was the steak salad and French onion soup. I also ordered a side of mashed potatoes and gravy because it was a necessary decision. The steak was cooked perfectly the way I like it, and had very nice flavor and the salad was yummy. The French onion soup was flavorful, but not too salty and very delicious, same with the mashed potatoes. Excellent meal! read more

Tasty meal! We ordered a BLT and a Swiss mushroom burger. Nice portions. The burger was not just a frozen patty, it was a hand made burger. Grilled perfect. Definitely recommend a visit. Although roads were wet/icy, we stopped for lunch and wanted to try a local restaurant off mike 101. What a busy lunch pub. read more

Try out the online ordering system for PICK UP. It worked perfectly. Had great burgers and side salads today. Everything was wrapped up, ready to go, when I arrived. Awesome job Should've taken pictures, but I couldn't wait to eat! read more

What a wonderful restaurant. Our waitress Morgan was helpful, cheerful and pleasant. She let us talk and figure out what we wanted to order. How refreshing!! The food was very good and we definitely will be back while visiting this quaint town. Awesome!!! read more

This place is very good! I got the fish sandwich and the bread is fresh baked. The fish was delicious. I also got the French onion soup.. also very good. We were a larger party and we had great service and it was super cute inside. We would come back for sure! read more

For real, they put fries on salads!! It's a DuBois thing, and I'm all for it. The footlong fried fish sandwich is also for real. This is a nice place to eat. They celebrate their history, which is nice to see. Tons of options on the menu. Service was easy and paced well. I was disappointed it took ten minutes to tell me they were out of what I ordered, but I had a backup plan for that. Overall, a great experience with good prices. read more

We were attending a volleyball game and one of the locals suggested this place. Omg not disappointed at all!! This place was the bomb! I'm obsessed with beer cheese and they have such a good one. Now the pizza was probably the lowest point of the meal cause it's not a fresh dough you can tell but man the burgers are a must must try! read more

Food was pretty good. Server was friendly. Not as lively as I was hoping to see with the ambiance but I came on a weekday.

Something to quiet the sound,Ai thought it was to loud for the ears but great service and food .

Why five stars? First, this place was open when we were hungry! I know it's a small town, but it is near a major interstate - most restaurants were closed on the Tuesday we made our stop. Second, the meal was a great value - especially in this time of inflation. I highly recommend the crab cakes. I know, not Maryland, but they were really good and about a third of the price you'd pay in Baltimore. Third, the service was the best! Our waitress was the most attentive I've had in probably a year or two. Great place! read more

I order the crab roll well while seating there I look downstairs they had one guy rolling them and had another guy taking to kitchen both had no gloves on so being touch two times bear hands. Then told one waiter about it she said she would take care of it. Well they shut the door so I couldn't see them. So good fix on there part. The meatloaf was spicy and mash potatoes was blaine and vegetables was cold. read more

Food was delicious and the waitress was on point! Plus it's a great place to to travel to North Carlin karaoke I won an award 10 years ago read more

Not a whole lot of draft beer selections, I think they had five and four of them were cheap. Typical's, the one craft beer they had was a light blueberry wheat. Would've liked to see some variation in types of beers if you're gonna have such a limited set of handles. As for the food, I got the Louisiana style salmon, which had a very good Cajun cream sauce, and a few shrimp on it, the salmon size was generous and it was cooked. Perfect. For the side, I got the mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Both tasted like they were not fresh but rather either frozen or processed. However, everything came out piping Hot and the service was great. 3% charge if you don't pay with cash... read more

This is only getting a three because of the time it took to get some of our food and the craziness of the night. We went here on a Saturday night, and we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. We noticed a lot of people were there, and many of the parties did not have their food when we sat down. One of the people in our party ordered a steak salad, another person ordered the crabcake appetizer and a bowl of soup, and the last person just ordered the crab cake appetizer. It took 30 minutes for the soup to come out, which I think is a little bit crazy. The rest of the dinner came out between 10 and 15 minutes after that. All of our food was really good, but the management of the tables, the food, and the wait time made this only a three star. read more

Fav restaurant in Dubois. Desserts are definitely 5 star worthy! Parking is very limited though during day when other businesses are open.

We made it to the area to attend our first Ground Hog's Day event in nearby Punxsutawney, and had a room in DuBois. We found The Gateway Cafe as a recommended casual dinner place. It was a Weds. night so karaoke was a pleasant find. Most tables were occupied with 2 friendly wait staffers working the room. They did their best to attend to customers. I ordered the drunken cheese burger - it was huge and delicious. My wife ordered the shrimp salad. It was loaded with more than the 10 shrimp described on the menu. We each had a beer and it made for a fun and memorable evening. read more

Food was very good. We had the soft pretzel appetizer with cheese, Philly cheesesteak, soup, pirogies and kielbasa. They were understaffed so service was slow, but we'd gotten an appetizer so the wait didn't seem as bad. read more

This place is a lot of fun! My boyfriend and I recently attended here for some drinks, bar food, and to sing some songs. When we got in, we did not expect that the place would have a whole nice-looking bar on one side and on the other a cozy dining area with a DJ table. And we didn't expect that it would be so clean either! Most restaurants you see would have at least one or two pieces of trash here and there but this place was spotless. The food here is VERY tasty. I had a shrimp and fries basket, and my boyfriend had some good looking wings. They gave me a LOT of shrimp and a good amount of fries for just $9. And for drinks they had a large menu--I mean, they're a bar--and I had some sweet wine while my boyfriend had some strawberry lemonade. It was all very very good for bar food, I was expecting it to be greasy but it really wasn't all that bad! As for entertainment, the karaoke catalogue is HUGE. I saw they had everything from 2Chainz to Led Zeppelin. I sang Alice In Chains, Aerosmith, Skid Row, and Kate Bush. My boyfriend couldn't sing because he was feeling very sick from the seasonal allergies he had, but he cheered me on nonetheless! Overall, this restaurant/karaoke bar was so much fun! I would definitely come back for another date. Four stars from me because although the atmosphere and the food is fantastic, the food is a bit pricy too, but it is all well worth it! read more

The gateway café is always a wonderful place to stop. They have excellent food and fantastic service. I love the French onion soup.

Always have good food and friendly service. Have only eaten here for lunch. Wednesday nights are busy due to karaoke, which is fun to watch. Some people in the area have some good pipes! read more

Chose them on a whim...raining, needed to eat, from out-of-town, no food in fridge b/c we were renting on Treasure Lake and rolled into town the night before late... Couldn't be happier with the place and cannot WAIT to go back tomorrow for more awesome food/service. Spinach and artichoke dip was outstanding! Perogies were just like my Uncle Stan's. Homemade buttermilk ranch dressing is the BOMB! We cannot wait to go back tomorrow and have more grub, maybe a bloody mary! read more

Great food and service after games for the world series. Loved the wings. Very fresh and crispy. Very accommodating. We had a large party and they gave us a great "downstairs" table. Wonderful waitress Lauren. read more

Nice local place, Will was an incredible server and made us feel very comfortable, home away from home. The BLT was great, the mac & cheese is the best mac & cheese you can find. EVER. THEE ABSOLUTE BEST ON EARTH. The wings are amazing, get the Sriracha bourbon and the cajun dry rub wings. read more

Nice place off the beaten path! Good food too much to choose from . Steak looks amazing. Ordered the steak and cheese hoagie. Very good. French onion soup was good too read more

Great food and friendly service. I got food to go and it was packed well and it was hot. The wings were perfectly cooked in the hot sauce. They just the right amount of hot. Their homemade potato chips were good with the ranch dressing and I also got a side of Sriracha ranch. Onion rings were crispy and their sloppy Joe wasn't a red sauce sloppy Joe. It was more like a chopped hamburger with onions and a clear sauce. Not sure if it was my cup of tea. But overall I would eat there again in a heartbeat. Sorry that I have no pictures to share everything was in Styrofoam to go containers and not very photogenic. read more

Food is good, service is usually pretty good if they aren't swamped, but it's a little pricy for what it is. Good food though.

Off the beaten track, but well worth it! Inexpensive, really creative menu, and cool history. I did not realize places like this exist in DuBois. read more

Great food, friendly service, nice bar and dining room. Had the potato skins as an appetizer and they were great.

Tried it twice. First time the Italian sun was all grease...it was dripping! And second time got the turkey burger with a baked potato. The turkey burger you can tell was frozen previously and was topped with cheese and the most disgusting avocado I've ever tasted. It was super soggy and tasted old. Along with that my baked potato when I went to cut it was mostly black from being rotten. They didn't even take the potato off the order or apologize...On a separate occasion my husband went and he waited at the bar for about thirty minutes and no one came out. So he left. Go somewhere else if you want descent food... read more

We had a bday party here. The service was TOP NOTCH and our waitresses was very accommodating and attentive. The food was very good but my chicken n asparagus was very good but I thought the portions was a little on the small side. One more thimg,is that is was supposed to be over linguine but they used spring pasta. Why I don't know?? Would have preferred linguine. Another member of our party had the ahi tuna. It was not good, dry and tough. The lasagna was good and so was the steak dinners. Will return to try other dishes read more

Dubois Budweiser is the best beer that isn't in existence anymore! Bring back those days!

Wanted to grab a bite to eat after a long day at the hospital with a loved one. After looking for places nearby we decided on here because it was a favorite of my sister and her family. Walked in only to not be greeted by the waitresses or host. Waited and waited to be seated. There was a large party that left right before us but still.... greet your next customers and let them know you'll "be right with them". Upon waiting finally someone asked "how many" and said "well we are expecting a band, so I can't seat you over there" (it was 2:30 in the afternoon, almost positive the band wasn't going to be there for a few more hours). She sat us, took our drink orders and messed them all up. Asked for more straws, took forever. Ordered our food only to have a dry burger, dry grilled chicken on a salad and a child size mac&cheese for an adult even though that's not what was ordered the Italian baked hoagie wasn't baked. Food overall was terrible. Probably better off getting food from Sheetz. read more

The food was wrong.No taste we was put in a small room where the wait staff made tossed salads with no gloves on touching all kinds of stuff we will not go bsck. read more

Wow! Stopped here on the way home from NYC and it was great! Home cooked pot roast was special of the day, and I think my mom would be jealous. It was so tender and delicious. Learned about fries on salads (who knew!) and that Dubois Budweiser came first. Sherry was an awesome server, too! read more

The Gateway was a regular spot for me when I lived in DuBois. Excellent food including fresh cut fries, outstanding fish sandwich and hamburgers to name a few. The standard 6-7 beers on tap and a wide assortment of bottled as well. Very comfortable atmosphere enhanced by prompt personable staff. Returning after 31 years I was curious to see if it had changed like so many other things. And you know what it didn't. It is just as inviting and comfortable as ever. Food was excellent as was the staff and beer just as cold. Just goes to show that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Great spot. read more

This place really made me consider giving my first and second ex wives another chance! I ate here twice. I heard all good things about this place so I decided to go there for the first time and I had ordered their homemade lasagna. It STUNK! My lasagna put it to shame. I then remembered I saw a picture of wings online and was rather confused because they weren't on the menu. I kindly asked the waitress if they had wings and she replied, "we do they are just not on the menu." As you all know, I'm a wing guy and I'm not going to lie...This secret wing menu item got me a little aroused. I naturally ordered their hottest wings, and they came in a reasonable time (not really a good sign because all wing people know it takes at least 20 mins for good wings). The wings also stunk. I was going to yelp my experience after the first time, but I didn't because I was afraid my harsh review was going to put them out of business. Okay, so fast forward about 2 months and for some reason I agreed to go back. I ordered the drunken cheeseburger this time because I saw a guy get it the first time and immediately knew the lasagna was a bad choice. The cheeseburger came and BAH GOD it was awesome! It was also the first burger I had in awhile that was actually cooked to my order. Rare. I loved every second of this burger;however, I caution you this is not a first date kind of burger. You are going to leave wanting to shower because of all the cheesy goodness on your face. Don't even use a napkin until you finish the entire burger because that's how messy it is. I definitely get why it's called the drunken burger. Best burger I have had so far in this area. The Gateway was packed both times so you know it is good. Lesson learned, you should always give second chances. Even if they sometimes take half of your possessions. read more
