The food is almost okay, nothing exciting at all - the portions are small & the prices are high - for what you get. 2 pieces of deli turkey & microwaved, floppy bacon & a thin piece of cheese on a tiny croissant roll with about 10 French fries on a small plate isn't worth $12.50, I can tell you that much. No idea why they're so popular. The main thing that upset me is that they were supposed to close at 1. I was meeting an old friend there I hadn't seen in close to a decade. We were seated at 11:30am. Yes, we took our sweet time to order & catch up & I even told our server that it was a reunion of sorts. She seemed cool with it. I swear that by about 12:30, the place was cleared out of customers & all the workers were gathered around our table sweeping within a foot of us, scooting us out the door - before official close time. It was in extremely bad taste. I had confirmed with them that they close at 1pm when I called ahead to see if they do reservations (they don't). I wanted to make sure she & I had ample time to catch up. I'd never been there before so I wasn't sure what to expect. If I had known we weren't really going to have the time to post up & enjoy ourselves without being rushed out the door early on a Sunday afternoon, no less, I would have absolutely chosen somewhere else to reunite over lunch. The food being overpriced 7/11 cold case sandwiches was the kicker. The service itself was fine. They all just seemed stressed out even though there were plenty of servers to handle the 400 sq ft room of patrons. Needless to say, I won't be back. read more

We are visiting from northwest New Mexico. Found The Palms Cafe on Yelp. I am glad we did. A small cafe with a personal touch. Great food, great portion and friendly friendly friendly read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this little place. The building is kind of awkward but the food was very good. I had a French dip and the meet was good quality and plenty of it. But the service was even more outstanding. I haven't had that good of service in I don't know how long. Outstanding. read more

An unpretentious little cafe with friendly and efficient staff but on the Friday noon we visited the food was so-so. My veggie omelet's vegetables tasted of cooking oil and were a bit overcooked. The home fries were dry but cooked just right. The coffee (Good Bean) is good. My companion stated the clam chowder was "okay." read more

Great little restaurant! Awesome food and service. The waitress was extremely friendly. The food was amazing. Best veggie Benedict I've ever had. My husband had the veggie omelette. Both would excellent with lots of veggies. Great presentation also Highly recommend. read more

This is a great place to stop in for breakfast or lunch. I've eaten here many times and I'm always happy with the food quality, portion size and the service. The building is older but clean. Definitely recommend! read more

A property fitting its name, The Palms floating in sea of pavement, is a pom-poms cheery service and a no-frills standardized American breakfast. This little hut brings the hardy portions for those "value" purveyors needing that double-wide plating. They will make you second guess that Grand Slam down the road. Digs: Across from the highly coveted Dollar Store we parked and entered the only door that doubled as a backdoor by the narrow blast of bathrooms, hallway and hungry gawking tables; an unusual setup where the cash register buzzed in the center of this L-shaped eatery; walls painted in shades of blue, local waterfall photos hung opposite of our plush booth but the decor was mostly barren; the furniture and a glimpse of the kitchen displayed years of loving abuse; Ate: Titled - "Comfort Food" Bacon, Hash-browns + Dos Eggs & Split Pancake - a proud plate that delivered the expectation; thick glistening bacon slightly overdone; a fluffed buttermilk pancake that was soon washed in maple syrup; two eggs "over-medium" whites cooked leaving the yolks slithering; hash was a blushing brown just needing a good salt dusting; Drank: Coffee, Coffee, Coffee - they spoiled us with the constant "top-offs" never seeing the bottom of our cups; Service: Greeted with a bubbly "hello" the young female staff whizzed by on a high octane caffeine; they were dishing out heaping piles of ham along with the customer's order; strangely we noticed along with the booming giggles their faces were competing for a beauty pageant by the level of makeup utilized; no point against them and probably a tipping magnet, but shout-out to Vegas; our waitress was very attentive and warm throughout the course; Overall: The Palms Cafe stays true to the famously comfortable and affordable breakfast. Come here starving and leave needing a lullaby for your food baby. No surprises await you here but that's the hidden charm in these roadside time capsules. read more

The service is excellent and friendly the food is not. I asked for a medium rare burger and got an overcooked piece of shoe leather... read more

The Palms Cafe - New American Near Me - Central Point, Oregon

Service was fine, food was hot but my first visit here, not impressed, canned corned beef hash for $10.50 seriously? When I mentioned that it tasted canned and asked the server she said yes but most people ask before ordering! I didn't eat more than 1 taste. I will not be returning and you shouldn't go either read more

This is a great breakfast location in Central Point. The location is small but it was packed with customers. All the staff was super friendly!!! The food was delicious and the portion size was just right! This was our first time but we will definitely be back! Great mom and pops local spot for breakfast!! read more

Our little family loves this place! Every time we go, we have a great experience. Fast and friendly service which is fantastic when you have two little ones. The cook always makes the cutest Mickey Mouse pancake for my 4 year old. Nice family friendly restaurant in Central Point. read more

The Palms Cafe - *Eggs Benedict with hash browns - New American Near Me - Central Point, Oregon

See all

Went to brunch with a friend here to catch up- the space is quaint, yet a nice open-concept booth seating. The staff was friendly & patient, which was nice- always on top of refilling low water glasses, too. Had their veggie eggs benedict- added ham for a buck more... it wasn't bad, though there was a screwup in getting mine without tomato. Hollandaise was mediocre, but not broken, so it was still tasty. On top of that, it was nice I was treated- only needed to help cover the tip. Overall, not too bad experience & probably a safe bet for a decent breakfast in future recommendations. read more

My family and I go every weekend. It's small but always has a booth open! Great food and service.

Went there for an early Sunday morning breakfast. The food was delicious and hot. Our server was fantastic, attentive and kept our coffee cups full. We will definitely be back. read more

This restaurant is not easily noticed on Hwy. 99 (front street) in Central Point but if you eat there you'll find great service and very good food. In MHO they cut the onions and green peppers a little large for a Denver omelet but the vegetables are nice and fresh so I forgive the size problem. The link sausage is the best of any restaurant in Southern Oregon. Try this place, you'll enjoy it. read more

Alright- this is not a fancy place. It is very simple, but the food was hot, quick, fresh. The service was fantastic and the food priced well. Not a to. Of options on the menus, but plenty for most. It's small, quaint even, but I'd come back in a heartbeat. Good strong coffee. Clean. read more

My husband and I came out to Oregon to visit family and we had breakfast 2 mornings. The staff was nice, the place was clean and the food was good. We will be back on our next visit to Oregon! read more

Crazy good food, super friendly staff. A very down home, small town feel cafe. The kidlets beg to go here every chance they get, which is a rarity for them. The owner and staff go out of thier way to be accomidating, and to make you happy. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get, we always leave STUFFED! read more

My experience was decent. The staff are top notch and attentive to the customers. But the food was a bit underwhelming. May have been a bad choice to get the veggie omelette but the onions and peppers inside were very raw and the avocado slices were rock hard. Might give them another chance down the road but I probably won't be ordering the same dish. read more

I was so disappointed when we tried this restaurant for breakfast. You walk in the the place is dirty, dirty, dirty. The floors were disgusting. We thought about walking out right then but it's very small and everybody sees you when you step thru the door. The waitresses would fly by our table and do the toss and walk with our silverware, food, etc. without saying anything and then just stare at you from their desk. The crepes were sickeningly sweet, the scramble mediocre and quite frankly I was scarfing down the food so I could get out of there because I was so freaked out by how dirty the floors were. I was afraid to think about the kitchen. Will never, ever, ever be returning. read more

From the outside it defiantly doesn't look like a restaurant, and even the inside is oddly shaped, but the food was delicious. I had one of their skillets and my husband had an omelette with pumpkin pancakes. The waitress recommended he try them with Apple butter and they were to die for. Decor needs updated but overall, they've got something here! read more

Food's always good n plenty. Service is friendly with the interactive locals, much like a functional-family atmosphere. ;^)

Great little breakfast place! Delicious, homemade style. Quick and friendly service.

Best tri tip dip I've ever had. The sweet potato fries weren't the best and probably not worth the extra $1. Stick with the regular fries, they were great. read more

Very nice people but they need to work on their customer service. The restaurant is an old odd shaped building but the food made up for it. Had an issue while we were there where people who came in 15 minutes (no exaggeration) after we did got their food before us. Once our food came the waitress acted like nothing happened, like we wouldn't have noticed that it took half an hour to make an omelette? I had to ask her why we were forgot about. Her answer, our ticket didn't print and then a mouthed (not sincere) apology. I wasn't looking for free food or a discount, just some recognition that they screwed up and an apology for making us wait so long with no communication. Very odd behavior for a family run establishment. I paid full price, and was happy to and left a good tip, FYI. Ultimately, the food was really good and the coffee tastes like fresh ground. Made up for much of the delay. read more

Great little diner with good biscuits and gravy! Normal diner service, but the food is delicious. Definitely think it's rated a little low by other reviewers. read more

Wow. Seated for more than an hour, waited 51 minutes for food that never came. Waitress explained how very busy they were, as we watched several tables that came in after us get served, eat, and leave before we even got all of the silverware we repeatedly reminded her we needed. We finally left, still hungry, and went elsewhere. We will not be troubling The Very Busy Palms with our order again. Very poor business practices and attitude for a small town business. read more

Good food, prices and service. The portions are large for the price. Pancakes were really good.

We are from out of town and really liked this place. Good service with small town feel/vibe we were looking for. The decor is pretty outdated, however depending on your perspective it adds to the charm. The food was good and the waitress was very attentive. read more

Love this place. The staff is friendly and the food fits what you expect from a cafe. I love the club or turkey croissant. The fries with fry sauce are very tasty. This place never disappoints. read more

A great family-owned business, that strives for nothing but the best! They are quick to get food and drinks for you. Just a small, cute restaurant that has the small town feel! Totally good to me :) read more

Great food and great staff. Casual American diner with classic food choices and friendly faces.

Went here after reading good reviews and what a waste!! Worst eggs Benedict I have ever eaten, thick...yellow, greasy goo slathered on top of nothing special. Server was rude, took forever to take our order and bring our bill. She was too busy chatting it up to ask if the food was good, which it was not! Didn't get greeted, and the poor service continued. read more

I would refrain from coming here. The chicken fried steak was straight out of the freezer. The hash browns and breakfast potatoes were out of a bag. The red onions on the breakfast potatoes were raw. Pancakes were like rubber. Everything seemed like it was out of the frozen food section. read more

To be described in one word would be FILTHY! My gut Instinct was to turn around and leave! ( I wish we had ) . One dirty coffee cup with dried lipstick which the waitress didn't apologize for. The French-fries served tasted like they had been fried in the same grease with fish! Disgusting to say the least! When paying at the counter and noticing the coffee pot sitting there, I've never seen anything so dirty! I don't even want to think about what lurks in the kitchen! All I'm left to say is the health department needs to pay a visit! read more

The food and staff are fantastic! Love it every time! However, the decor??? Ugh!! Blue walls, and old Christmas decoration, fall photos, tropical theme....depends on what direction you look. Building has a strange layout, but they definitely could just do a basic warm color paint and stick with one theme. And get rid of that dead Christmas decoration that is "sentimental" because it is the first decoration they got...or gift...or something. It is dead and looks like you just don't care.!! And sweep up the floor. Stuff all over it does nothing for consumer confidence. From someone who hopes you can stick around. read more

My husband and I tried this cafe today for the first time. The service and food were excellent. It's a small, but quaint little restaurant with a warm atmosphere. All the employees were very friendly. It seemed to be a hotspot, but we didn't wait long I think 10 minutes. We will be back!! read more

Food was great. Everyone in our group enjoyed our breakfast. And prices are reasonable. Can tell regulars like this place and that's always a good sign. We will be back. read more

Respect people with lots of energy and great hospitality. I had the crispy chicken wrap with the beer battered fries and can't wait to have them again! read more
