Nafi’s Springwood Cafe

We like to try a new restaurant at least once a month. This was our first time to Nefi’s and it was nice. The kiddos liked it and it was «I think» affordable for a family of five. Love the chilled root beer mugs!

My family has been coming here for years. They have the best soup and the best Eggs Benedict. It’s runny like it’s suppose to be and the hash browns are crispy. They have delicious Cod on Fridays and the French Fries are always hot and crispy. My husband loves the Gyro. The Corned Beef Hash is excellent as well as everything else you order. The owners are the nicest people and are always there. The prices are cheap as well. You can go in and sit and chat for hours without anybody complaining. Just a great place to be.

My boyfriend and I visited Nafi’s during our 4^th of July weekend trip to Kenosha. We went in early Friday morning, so it was almost empty. The atmosphere was that of a typical, tired diner with a good number of elderly people, but it was cute.
Positives:
1) The food was pretty delicious. I ordered the hash brown skillet, and also added corned beef hash as an ingredient to it. They do actually have a corned beef hash skillet that you can order (although it is not listed on the menu) but it does not come with the beloved hash browns. They also had biscuits and gravy, which the boyfriend ordered and loved.
2) The server seemed pretty rude when we first sat down, but she eventually ended up becoming very friendly and attentive. She brought out hot sauce and ketchup before we even asked, and was considerate in telling me they actually had a corned beef skillet that wasn’t listed. She even went to ask the cooks what was in it to make sure that I would enjoy it.
3) The prices were very affordable. Two meals (mine had an extra side and an extra ingredient added to the skillet) with coffee was $ 20.
Not so positives (?):
1) This may just be my horse-​like runner appetite, but I thought it was strange that the side of pancakes (called «toast cakes».were the size of little saucer plates. Any other diner I go to, including even Ihop, at least gives huge pancakes on the side. I ended up having to get a separate side of pancakes in order to have them be normal sized {you get the toast cakes with the skillets and regular cakes as its own order}. Sorry to add fuel to the fire, but they were still puny compared to the massive cakes you get at Denny’s, Ihop, and diners in my hometown.
2) The skillet did not come with very much cheese. I may be used to getting spoiled in Andy’s Restaurant in Des Plaines, because they load that thing with cheese, but it was kind of a bummer. I usually can’t leave a diner without taking some home with me, but I finished everything when I went here. So the portions are kind of lame compared to elsewhere. The prices are still cheap, though. They also just give you little commercial syrup packages, instead of from one of the nicer syrup glasses that other diners do, but not such a big deal. It just makes the experience nicer when it is not so upfront and obvious how «fast» your food is lol…
I don’t eat comfort food often (was treated for my bday), so I have grown to become quite the picky glutton when eating it (haha!), so I would still recommend this diner if you are looking for an affordable and delicious meal.

This family run restaurant is a gem! Been there a couple times so far and I’ve been satisfied (and full) after every meal. The staff is courteous and attentive. Nothing more you can ask for

By far the best meal I have had in the three years I have lived in Kenosha. A well kept secret that needs to be told! The blueberry topped French toast to the Manitowish sandwich… you can’t go wrong if you are eating at Nafi’s. I have made this my go to spot for out of town visitors and it is always a hit!
