Anthony’s Cafe & Cakes

This place gets all five stars because it is consistent, cheap, delicious, and pleasant. It is currently under new management after the old owner (you know, Anthony) went into retirement. These new people have painted the walls and the restaurant is actually clean now, but they still have the same old crazy mug collection and the food is just as good. Part of what makes the food so good is the simplicity of the menu, as well as the simplicity of the food itself. I am almost always at Anthony’s for their breakfast when I go, and a standard order of scrambled eggs, toast, and potatoes and a mug of coffee comes out just right every time.
The service is definitely better than it was, which is a plus. Going to Anthony’s, I don’t expect much because they don’t set it up that way. You walk up to the counter, order food, and then sit down. You pour your own coffee, you grab your own hot sauce, no real frill. That said, the current staff is engaging and pleasant and I feel welcome in the restaurant.
If you’re looking or a no-​frills place to grab food, with reasonable portions (and prices!) and consistent offerings, Anthony’s is it.

Holy Crap! This was good stuff! Pleasant faces and pleasant smiles and pleasant biscuit sauce. My buddy ordered the number 2; and quote unquote he said, «it was good.» I got the mailman special. It is not what it sounds like (cardboard boxes and letters); it is essentially an omelet and sausage biscuit gravy. Pretty stinkin’ delicious! Good service and nice cold ice water!
