    Legendary, historic diner cafe with great food, friendly, professional service and AMAZING pies! (Pro tip: Get your pie order in first!)

    Blues Cafe provides a small town feel with friendly staff and a clean restaurant. With a retro feel Blues Cafe is a great place to go for any meal. We went for breakfast and I got Blue's Skillet. It was delicious and filling! Made sure I had to get some pie however, and got a cheesecake silk pie that hit my sweet tooth and left me wanting more. Would definitely come back again!

    Such a good breakfast! Very friendly service, lots of locals who are greeted by name. Just a charming place. The food was delicious, the biscuits fluffy, the sausage gravy so thick and tasty. I was too full to try the pie, but brought some home to have later since all the reviews say it's not to be missed.

    Great place for pie but I think their food is decent too. Glad to see they are open later on Thursday to Saturday now. If you want a whole pie make sure to call in a day ahead of time. Definitely don't skip the pie though! Highly recommend the coconut cream pie.

    I had not been here in almost 30 years. Glad I stopped in. Food was great and so was the service and other people there. We will be going back to eat more often. I had the grilled chicken skillet and it was delicious!!! Prices are great!!!

    Enjoyed an old restaurant that we came to several years ago otherwise, outstanding service and a friendly atmosphere would recommend to all!

    This is the second time I've been to blues Cafe. Once again I walk in sit in my booth and wait for service for 10 minutes before I decide to leave. A waitress could at least acknowledge my existence. I know they're busy but I would at least be told that will be with me in a minute. I know their food is good though so I'll be going back again maybe when you're not so busy

    Great small restaurant for home cooked meals. We go there for breakfast and have always had a great experience. The waitstaff were very kind and helpful.

  • 3/5 Jay B. 8 months ago on Google
    The food is not bad honestly. I'm not a fan of any of the pies. And if you're new or new(ish) to this place, be prepared to have the wait staff focus more on the regulars than you.

  • 5/5 Ava R. 9 months ago on Google
    Food is good, but the lady that you can't understand up front always messes my order up. Everything single time she messes it up. You can tell it's hee because he admits it.

  • 5/5 Angela T. 10 months ago on Google
    The breakfast here is very good and fresh to order. I always get the very berry French toast or the lumbar jack. This is my go to spot when I'm craving that home style breakfast without doing it myself 😜😁

  • 4/5 Mark M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good but the service not so good. It was just okay last time I went. Sometimes I wish they would stop talking to other people and focused on their customers. Other than that it was okay.

    Stopped in after a volleyball match. Place wasn't too crowded at 4:30, but I did hear the regulars say they were full the night before. It was obvious they were regulars because the server brought them they're drink as soon as they sat down. The rest of our meal was similar. Friendly, helpful wait staff and a friendly group of customers. Food was pretty good for a very reasonable price and it was done quickly. The pie menu was almost overwhelmingly large. I had the apple ala mode and my wife had the coconut cream. Both were excellent.

    My first time at Blues Cafe, and I loved it! I had the very berry french toast and it was perfect. Fresh berries and bananas on top of cinnamon french toast. Very delicious and generous portions. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu.

    The ladies at the counter were amazing. Miss Amanda helped me out with a smile. Someone called on the phone and was rude 😐. During this season we should all be more helpful like her. Great job.

    My omelette was very good. Asked for crispy hash browns and the waitress suggested deep fried and it was great! Thanks

  • 5/5 Ben C. 1 year ago on Google
    We were very pleasantly surprised with our experience at Blue's Cafe. A pleasant welcome when we arrived, quick seating, attentive staff, and a nicely cooked and full plate breakfast. The menu is well varied with choices for all palates. And...the food was tasty!

    Neat little Cafe. They make their own pies. Food was good. Service was good. I would return if I was in the area.

    Anyone who's ever been in a full car trying to find a place to eat knows how challenging it can be to find somewhere cheap, fast, super tasty, and that everyone is excited for. Local diners have always been able to fill that void and estabshments like Blues Cafe are why. The coffee is strong, portions are sized to be filling but not to overstuff, the skillets sizzling, the biscuits and gravy are rich in the right way, but the stars of the show are - for sure - the pies. Personal favorite is the butterscotch banana.

    Breakfast was very good, can recommend the skillets and biscuits and gravy. The pies are outstanding. Save room for them. Service was good and waitresses knew many of the customers. Excellent neighborhood joint.

    Since 1954. Had stuff pepper soup, excellent. Old place but a goodie. Easy to get to and easy parking..

  • 5/5 Diane S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a must see and do. It reminds me of a 50s diner. The breakfast is great and the pie is better than any other.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place!! Really great food! Old time atmosphere with old time customer service!! Very polite and prompt.

  • 5/5 Boi M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food and very fluffy eggs. If you like omelettes then go here.

  • 5/5 Carmen V. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing! I can't wait to go back. The food was excellent, prices right and wonderful server, Sharonne. It was our first time for breakfast but we're looking forward to try it for lunch. It's a homey place with a welcoming staff.

  • 5/5 Stephanie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good portion sizes in my opinion. I was not able to finish my meal! I enjoyed the cinnamon French toast. My husband tried their country fried steak with scrambled eggs and really enjoyed as well. We haven't been in a while but will be back again soon!
