Midtown Cafe

We stopped here because of the previous posts! Unfortunately that was a bad mistake. Don’t order any thing with the roast beef it is cut thick is fatty and so tough u can’t hardly chew it. Granted the let uOs order something else but not at all what I expected! Very disappointed. Maybe they are ok for breakfast!

Only ate there once and food was horrible. Our server was rude and the place needed to be cleaned better. We sat down at our table and it was sticky and disquieting. I do not understand how this place stays in business.

Very cool little place, every third Sunday is a free desert table so I had warm bread pudding with sweet fresh strawberries before lunch. breakfast for lunch so had a great steak, scrabbled eggs, hash browns. And rye toast with lots of tobacco! Super cute waitress that got it all right, friendly, and the place has Iowa square charm!!! Ordered a red raspberry pie for next Sunday, can’t wait!!!

Exactly what I was looking for!
Was looking for a quick, not fast food breakfast in Newton and found this restaurant on Unilocal.I felt comfortable and welcome the moment I walked in to this cozy, small town restaurant.
I ordered two eggs with toast, sausage links and a large orange juice. Everything was cooked perfectly to my specifications and my total bill was only $ 8.50. I don’t believe it was homemade, but their wheat bread was very good!
The wait staff was extraordinary. Order was taken quickly, drinks were filled regularly, and she stopped by not once, but twice to make sure I was happy with my breakfast. Check was brought without having to ask and everyone else in the place seemed to be receiving the same expedient service.
There was also a group of what appeared to be their regular coffee drinkers the morning I went in. They were nice, happy and I overheard them talking about the omelettes, which are apparently very good as well.
Give it a try!

Party of 7– we had great service, food, and pie!
A hidden gem– a cozy old-​school diner feel. If you are from Newton, you will appreciate the photos that are hung throughout the place.
