What a good find! We stopped here for breakfast after church and had a good experience. The place has a charming diner vibe, and even though it was busy, our wait wasn't long at all. Our waitress was pleasant, and the menu had a great variety of options. I really appreciated their approach to keeping costs down by allowing one substitution per order--a smart way to stay budget-friendly! We ordered an omelet and a breakfast burrito, and both were yummy and to our liking. The food must be consistent, as the restaurant was filled with what looked like regulars. If you're searching for a simple, tasty, and budget-friendly breakfast, this is definitely a good choice for you! read more

9:30 on a Wed AM was a great time to arrive. No loud, disturbing noises- instead, a quiet background hum. Very peaceful and serene. My tea arrived quickly, water hot in a tea pot, making me feel peaceful as I steeped it, dressed it and then enjoyed it. The service was perfect; quick and responsive. Food arrived hot, offer of ketchup was made before I asked, and refill of hot water was perfectly timed. I look forward to returning to the Uptown Town Cafe. read more

Uptown Cafe - The Virginia ham on the Uptown Feast was a satisfying surprise. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

Poor service. Showed up a little after 9am on a Friday. Not crowded. Seated with our menus. A couple came in, then another. They each waited almost 5 mins to be recognized, then seated. Meanwhile, we perused the menu and decided on our meals. Waiting on our server. She came into the dining area, handed one of the newly seated couples their menus, and took their drink order. We watched, expecting her to come to us next. Nope. She went to take care of their drink order. We voted with our wallet and promptly departed Uptown Cafe. No cheers! RS read more

This place is not fancy, so if you are looking for fancy food and ambience, go somewhere else. However, if you are looking for delicious food cooked to order, at a really good price - this is your place. The people who work there are warm and friendly. I have been there three times and had good service and delicious food each time. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, so plan accordingly. read more

Good potions fair price great breakfast selections. It's our go to check out their daily specials

VERY GOOD. I had the Chorizo Skillet with jalapeños added. It was very good. My over-easy eggs were cooked perfectly, and the biscuit was crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. I sat at the front counter, and my server was great. The atmosphere is "neighborhood diner" with a cozy ambiance. read more

We love this place. It's our go-to breakfast spot. The food is always solid. The space is comfortable. The parking is plentiful. But it's the service that makes this place *our* place. I have a specific way I order my tea, but I don't have to spell it out for them. They know me and remember me. They ask about my son, who's away at college. They ask how I'm doing after recent surgery. They know how we like our hashbrowns. All that is worth a lot to me. What I like about their breakfast food is that it's "normal". They don't add kale to my eggs. They don't stack it all up in a food pyramid. It's good, solid, traditional breakfast food. This should not be interpreted as boring. They've got a great menu. It's consistent and familiar. They pack in on weekends. Get there early, but if you have a wait, it's worth it. Great family place. read more

I come to this restaurant often and I always get the same order. The up at 5, it comes with eggs your way ( I always do scrambled with cheese), bacon , 2 link sausage, 2 slices of French toast and silver dollar pancakes. I will sometimes get their grits , which are stone ground and usually yummy! Today I had water and coffee but I often get their orange juice which is fresh squeezed! This is a large meal and never disappoints. Today was no exception! Always great service! read more

This had been our weekly breakfast spot. The food is always wonderful, however, the past 3 times we have been (various levels of busy) our food has come out ice cold. Try as we might, it's hard to eat a cold over medium egg or biscuits and gravy. Hopefully this is fixed soon and we can come back because the food is great! read more

A homey interior and feel with generous portions at a price to keep your wallet happy. I had chocolate chip pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. The pancakes are fluffy and HUGE. They did crumble and fall apart but could be easily scooped back up with some syrup! The bacon was oven-baked which gave it the perfect melt in your mouth texture that I personally love. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us in a timely manner. I recommend trying them out if you're in the area! read more

Love this place ! Friendly staff ! Love the link sausage! When you buy into it, give you that crunch!

The food and service here have been consistently great for years! If you haven't tried this place, you should!

I was just at Uptown Cafe with my husband. We came in, and even though we were seated promptly, the server just ignored us. She saw us, but she acted like we didn't exist. She didn't speak to us at all. She saw us, I know, because I made eye contact with her. She just disappeared in the back and didn't come back out, except to check on a table of about 5 people. We were her only other table. I know this because besides that table and us, that entire area was empty. We ended up leaving because we couldn't order anyway. We had stopped going there for years for the exact same reason, and we decided to give them another try since the food is good, but if you can't get any service, it's not worth it. We told the hostess what happened. She couldn't care less. We'll never go back there again. read more

A gem in this area and a family favorite. Great food, services and reasonable prices. The only thing I hate is that they cut some items from the menu like the oatmeal pancakes and the Italian omelet with sausage was a favorite. read more

My husband and I like to go out to breakfast occasionally. He is an awesome cook who typically makes breakfast each weekend, so our expectations are high when we go out. :). I had a combo plate - wow, lots of yummy items - eggs, pancakes, french toast and mmmmm BACON! I believe my hubby had some sort of corned beef hash. He really liked it! The waitress was friendly snd attentive. I can't believe we've never been here before (as we thought we'd been to every breakfast joint in the surrounding area near home), i am glad he found this location. We would definitely come back! read more

Was in search for a restaurant we haven't tried for breakfast before and found Uptown Cafe on Yelp. We arrived just before noon on a Sunday. The place was busy and packed. We were greeted immediately and gave them our name. We didn't wait long before they seated us. The restaurant is divided into three different spaces. We were seated in the space farthest from the entrance. I believe it's their overflow seating area as well as private party seating. The restaurant and its restroom were both clean. We ordered the following: Up at Five $9.19 3-2-1 Breakfast $7.49 Monterrey Omelet $9.69 Coffee (2) $2.89 I ordered the Up at Five and came with two X-large eggs any style, one slice of French toast, five silver dollar pancakes, two all natural applewood smoked bacon strips, and two sausage links. What more could you want?? Everything came out fresh and as described. There was so much food in one plate, I couldn't finish it all. My son ordered the 3-2-1 Breakfast. It came with three X-large eggs cooked to order, hash browns, stone ground grits and choice of toast or biscuit. He ate every bit of his breakfast and said it was delicious. The hubs got the monterrey omelet which came with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and goat cheese. He thoroughly enjoyed his omelet. The coffee was good. We received excellent service from our waiter. He was friendly and attentive. Breakfast was inexpensive and portions were generous. Great spot, overall! read more

The service was good. No wait is a plus if you are hungry. We arrived about 1:10. The menu selection is extensive. The buttermilk pancakes were a bit over cooked- no fluffy on both sides, had an omelette and added on grits. Everything was okay. read more

The Uptown Cafe is a decent option for breakfast/brunch. I dropped by a few Saturdays ago for breakfast. The wait time for a table was quick, as there was one ready to go. Reggie was my waiter, and he was great with the service. The wait for the food was a little long, which is attributable to how fresh it came out. I ordered the Sunrise breakfast, along with a hot chocolate. The Sunrise is comprised of hash browns, 2 sausage patties, scrambled eggs, and toast. It was standard, on par with what you'd expect, but still good and fresh. The hot chocolate, which came in a fancy Irish coffee type of glass, was good as well. At the end of the meal, you're given your bill, which you pay at the counter by the entrance. Overall, I recommend coming here for your standard breakfast options. Do plan for a little wait before the food comes out, but again, that just means that you're getting a fresh meal. read more

It was (last) Saturday morning and I was in the mood for pancakes, syrup (lots) and eggs... I found this cute little restaurant on Yelp (of course)... I am a fan of restaurants that give you a "homemade" feeling. They have a very vast menu, anything you want on your breakfast is there, from eggs any style you want to more elaborated items, such as eggs Benedict, or my favorite "Up at Five" which includes eggs, pancakes, sausage, and french toast all in the same plate (YUM). It is massive, and needless to say delicious... If you are like me, you will need help (to attempt) to finish it... I love black coffee, because... there's no other way... Uptown Cafe's is very very tasty, their cups are smaller than at other restaurants, I lost count after my third cup of coffee. I obviously order the "Up at Five" that Saturday, I was surprised of the size of the plate and how delicious it all looked... I quickly realized I was not going to be able to finish it by myself... But man, did I try!!! Servers are very nice, the place is clean and has a "warm" atmosphere. Soooo.... next day (Sunday morning)... I went there again! This time I took my boyfriend, there was a line, 30 minute wait, but we were willing to be patient. He ordered the "Up at Five", obviously he was able to finish the whole plate, he also loved the food and the place. I ordered the "French toast special", I was not disappointed at all, I took half of my french toast home and we ate it later in the day. I am definitely going back there again, I think I will order the eggs Benedict with biscuits OMG... I'm so happy I found this place, it is exactly the kind of place I like. I just took one photo :( read more

Uptown Cafe - "Up at Five" - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

I've been to this location 2 times and it just keeps getting better. The restaurant is nestled inside a small unassuming shopping center. So, do not be fooled, IT IS AMAZING! There are many options for both breakfast and lunch. Ranging from traditional American fare to gluten-free and clean options. I've honestly considered moving closer just to eat here more! Service is next level! They treat you like an old friend! My new favorite spot! read more

Quaint cafe on the Johns Creek/Alpharetta border. This location offers indoor and outdoor seating. Robust menu, complete with offerings for even the pickiest eater. I initially wanted a waffle but opted for the steak and egg breakfast. This breakfast was complete with a hearty 8oz steak, 3 eggs, hash browns, and toast. Service was good - a bit slow as the server warned us the restaurant was understaffed. It was good but I think I will try the waffle next time. read more

Super fast delivery!!! I barely had time to check in on Yelp before my gf and I got out orders. I ordered the up at five based on what it came with. The pancakes were excellent, the French toast wasn't too bad I cold taste whatever else was on the grill at the time but then again I was coming off a cold so that could have had something to do with it. However that didn't stop eating everything on the plate. Will definitely come back. read more

This is fine for a convenient brunch spot, but not exciting in any way. The food is ok at best. No vegetarian meat alternatives. Hardly any healthy options. The customers are mostly over the age of 65, which is fine - just noting. Most everyone seemed to be regulars and know all the staff. Overall good experience. read more

Amazing food and customer service. Food is brought out in a timely manner. No long wait times. I love this place

Uptown was outstanding, the service was very attentive without being overwhelming and the food was great. Nice job to all at Uptown!

The food was good but service was lacking for me. Our waitress was very attentive until she brought the check out. Soon after she brought the check I ran out of coffee & was wanting a refill. She walked past our table, looked at our table and just walked on by (several times). My friend and I were still eating and chatting for probably 45 min. and not once did she say anything until we stood up to leave. I thought the lemon ricotta pancakes were delicious & the skillet was good as well. But next time I am looking for a breakfast/brunch spot I will probably venture somewhere else. read more

I have been to Uptown Cafe two times now and have been very happy with both visits! There was no wait either time and the food was brought out relatively quickly after ordering. It is a very casual cafe with no frills and decent food. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come here but am always happy to stop by when I am in the neighborhood. Most of the menu is very reasonably priced and for large portions. I got the Sunrise Breakfast with turkey sausage and they let me sub a bagel for toast. I also appreciated that they listened when I requested scrambled eggs very well done considering so many breakfast restaurants do not. I also loved the fresh squeezed OJ but it was not cheap - a small glass cost $4. There is plenty of parking outside as it's in a huge shopping plaza. read more

Uptown Cafe - Sunrise Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

We ordered through Uber Eats - our appetizer of fried green tomatoes was an excellent, fresh take on a classic. The feta and pesto were wonderful! We certainly recommend them! The fried chicken was really great - the vegetables and potatoes that came with it were tasty! The chicken was fried to perfection, nice and juicy. Even the mushroom gravy was very good! I was incredibly annoyed that the Uber Eats receipt had the side of collard greens I added and the receipt from the restaurant did not. We did not receive the side, yet I was still charged for it. The restaurant didn't answer their phone and no one from Uber Eats responded. At least my credit card company got back to me, but essentially I have to wait. The fish and chips were just okay and not my favorite. I am not a fan of coleslaw to begin with (that's why I added the side I paid for but did not receive) and my opinion remains the same. The coleslaw with the fish and chips was sweet and I'm not exactly sure why. Overall, we may or may not order from Uptown Cafe again. read more

It's cheap and the food is ok. I ordered the steak and eggs through Uber eats for breakfast and I maybe had unrealistic expectations. The eggs were fine and the steak was cooked medium (not medium rare as requested) and was very chewy. Very, very chewy. You can honestly get a better steak and eggs and Waffle House. We also ordered corn beef hash and eggs and weren't much more impressed. For $10.95 we got a couple dollops of hash (other places in the Area give you four times the food for the same price) and three eggs. It was ok yet not ok. That's it. Pretty sure they'll need a spend $20 save $8 special for me to try it again. read more
