Rustic Cafe

I am always so surprised when I order off the menu! The food is fresh and so tasty and the chicken hash is one of my favorites. This little place is often crowded and the wait staff is busy, but I’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes. They do a great job.

Great food and service. Been there twice now with the family. Everyone enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Right off the Loop 101 and easy access to get too. Highly recommended!!!

Love this place, yummy breakfast everytime. One of my favs eggs always perfect, if you ask for crispy hashbrows also perefect. Nice size portions for real decent price. Coffee refilled before it is empty.

I gave this place two stars because I use to love this place. I hadn’t been in for sometime, but it was of my family’s frequent breakfast stops. We decided to get some breakfast there and it was pretty busy. The thing that caught my eye was the barefoot little girl stuffing her face with chocolate hanging out around the front counter floor. It made me feel uneasy, but I tried to put it aside. My husband had to use the restroom and he said they were disgusting. Again we understood it was busy, but the thing that made us leave was when he saw the same barefoot little girl walking around the kitchen. We then left. I found it very unsettling to see a barefoot child walking around the parents restaurant and especially in the kitchen. It made me feel they didn’t care about health code and I didn’t want to risk getting sick.

went back for a couple of times this last week and was very impressed by not only the food but the staff! Much better w/​o our grandsons-​but they even enjoyed it despite their typical kid behavior.
Loved the «healthy» chicken hash w/​egg whites on the first trip. Hubby had the greek omelet that morning. It looked so good that I «healthied» it up by switching egg whites, tomato slices and took out the cheese-​still looked and tasted great!

On our way to Cave Creek, decided to stop here and for once try a new place for breakfast.
When we walked in, there were a lot of young children in the restaurant, and it was very loud although not too crowded. Dirty floor, tables hadn’t been bussed, and what’s up with all of the dresses and headbands up front?
We were seated quickly, and were advised that the waitress would be around in a few seconds. Seconds turned in to 15 minutes to put in our drink order.
We ordered the Chicago omelette and the Breakfast Changa. The omelette was over cooked and hard and the Changa was undercooked, and the bacon was almost uncooked. We never saw the waitress after she dropped off our plates, and had to ask 2 people and wait 15 minutes for our check. Fast forward to that same evening… my stomach is a mess.
This place has great potential, but until it realizes that potential, I won’t be back.

First time today for a quick lunch on our way to Sky Harbor. We ordered wraps and both were very good. The chicken had good grill flavor. The sides were macaroni salad and slaw. Both sides seemed homemade. Our ice teas were very good too.
Our ticket was only $ 21. I felt it was very reasonable. Our server was fine.
They need to fix the walls but the place was clean.

You might as well rename the restaurant Denny’s because that is the quality of food you will get here. I was super disappointed in the whole experience. The wait staff was unfriendly and just didn’t want to be there. Our sons food came out first and then 20 mins later ours arrived. We ordered simple meals. Scrambled eggs, French toast and hash browns. The scrambled eggs tasted like they came from a box and if you could make oil crunchy, that would describe their hash browns. Although we did have some entertainment while we waited, the table in the center of the restaurant was drawing up their needles and injecting themselves with which I assume was insulin right at the table. Classy place!

First time here and we will definitely be back! We ordered a Breakfast Change (eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, cheese) in a fried tortilla with an very tasty creamy salsa. We also ordered one GIANT salted caramel and bacon pancake. Everything was sooo good, including the service.

Tried this place for the first time!
Ordered the Double Decker sandwich… Omg!!! One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Service was great! Place is clean! Would have given 5 stars, but they were out of sweet potato fries and the onion rings aren’t homemade.

Family run, large menu options, they are there to please. They deliver what the menu says, and you really feel you are part of something great. Family first :)

I’m a big fan of a hole in the wall breakfast place. This place is certainly a little nicer than a little breakfast dive. I had the Greek omelet and the Cajun breakfast potatoes. It was a decent meal and large portions. The staff was friendly and the service was fast. There are unique art pieces on the walls that are actually for sale. I am in town visiting my parents and they come once a week. My dad always gets the breakfast sandwich with fruit and absolutely loves it.

Ordered country fried steak w over medium eggs and hash browns. The hash browns are not even cooked they are mostly white not crispy at all. My eggs are over easy.gross.the white part is runny. The steak is over cooked and the breading is almost burnt.
Not good and for almost 10 dollars if rather go to filbertos and get a chorizo burrito.

First time here today and I’m impressed. Breakfast menu is massive and portions are huge! I had the Tuscan omelet and my sister had the farmers breakfasts. Bacon and hash towns were crispy, biscuits soft and moist, and the veggies in my omelet were cooked and seasoned.
I should note that this place gets busy, as do all breakfast places on the weekend, so keep that in mind if you’re in a hurry. A woman at the table behind us is irritated about the wait and just about everything including the fact that it’s sunny today and she’s breathing fresh air so. Yeah.
Great place, we will be back!

Eh. Wasn’t terrible but wasn’t great either. My son did have a waffle and he loved it. My daughter and I were less than satisfied.
Service was good, coffee was good.

Little café on the east side of cave creek north of the 101 freeway. We live nearby & enjoy the homey atmosphere with decent fresh food.
Last time I got the egg white bagel sandwich ($ 7.99) on an everything bagel and a cup of fruit ($ 1.99). I really enjoyed the avocado, egg white, ham and melted cheese.
My hunny got the green chili burger which he ordered medium but it was well done– of course. He enjoyed the bread.
Minus 1 point for tchotchke hair ties and homemade baby clothes being displayed at hostess area. This is not a boutique and I suggest you elevate your dining experience by ditching the dust collectors.

Quick, quality food and local business for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It’s hidden within a strip mall on the corner. At 10am we didn’t wait more than 10 minutes and left within 45. Reasonable prices. Lots of options. Portions average.
We will be back!

First time here.
I had the «The John Wayne Omelet». Ham, sausage, bacon, and Cheese. served with potatoes and toast. I also had coffee with non dairy flavored creamer.
My Alex had the «Cheese» Omelet. Cheese blend, provolone, Havarti, feta, Swiss or mozzarella. Served with potatoes and toast. He had Ice Tea.
Really good food here, service as great and the restaurant was immaculate.
We were here on a Sunday, only open till 3:00 pm.
We’d like to come back and try lunch some time :)

Haven’t been here in a while due to poor service, so we thought we’d try this morning.
Staff was cleaning up from a large party that had just left so our table was clean. We were the only ones in the place at the time but it still took 10 minutes to take our coffee order. We knew what we wanted and ordered right away, then waited about 40 minutes to get our food, which wasn’t worth the wait.
One coffee refill, lackluster service. We left and will not be back.

This was actually our second time here. The first time was a week day in the afternoon. We had gone in and waited to be seated, but no one ever came out to acknowledge we were there. We finally left.
We decided to give them another try. This time on a Sunday when we figured they would have more staff. We got there a little past noon. There was a young lady by the door when we entered. She asked how many and led us to a table for four with two chairs. She placed the menus on the table then turned and walked away. Not a word spoken other than the cursory ‘how many’.
Our server came by and we asked if she could wipe off our table. It wasn’t dirty from food, but there were little bits of something white. She came back with a rag and wiped what was on the table in my friend’s direction. When he asked her not to do that, because it was going in his lap, she said she would get our server and disappeared. Okay, so far, not off to a good start.
Our new server came by and took our drink order. The menu is fairly extensive, offering a selection of breakfast entrees, wraps, salads, burgers and even pizza. I decided on the Mediterranean Meat Salad minus the pita wedges and dressing on the side. My friend ordered the Porky Pig Burger with a side salad.
While we were waiting for our food, I was looking around at things. There are two dining rooms. A main one and a smaller secondary one. We were in the smaller one. First, there isn’t anything rustic about the décor. The only thing that stands out are several large displays of hair bows and dresses. They are just inside the door when you enter. It looks like items better suited for a craft fair and very out of place. Where we were sitting, the paint on the wall was peeling and it looked like a drink had spilled down the wall. The floor was also dirty. Maybe because we were near the patio, but it was a big turn off. And it was loud. There was nothing to buffer the sound.
The food came out after fifteen minutes. The burger was a bit overcooked, but still very good. It came with three thick cut slices of bacon, a slice of ham and all the fixings. The Gyro Meat salad looked great and was fresh. A nice mix of romaine and other greens along with cucumber, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, gyro meat, lemon juice and tzatzikii sauce. The tzatziki sauce was lacking in flavor. I ‘ve had better. Feta cheese would have also added a nice ‘pop’ to the salad.
I would give this place 2 stars based on atmosphere and service. The food a 3. For now, I’ll go with 3 and will maybe give it another try at some point.
