Brenda's Cafe

"Julie my waitress very Good Service and makes me feel at home. She was concerned about the quality of my food as well, I wasn't just a customer I was a queen!"

"My wife and I arrived at 9:45 am on a Friday morning. When we walked in, we noticed several empty tables (un-bussed) and no one working the floor (no waitresses, cashier, coffee servers or busboys). So, we went ahead and sat at an dirty table and waited... After about 5 to 10 minutes a waitress finally came out and bussed the table behind us, but we had to ask for ours to be cleaned. After bussing the table they took our order. 45 minutes later, we finally saw our food.... During the whole time we were waiting, we noticed that waitresses were very few and far between. It seemed like they are all congregating within the back. On occasion, someone would come out and top off the coffee, but that's about it. My wife, who had tea to drink was never asked if she wanted a refill. Not sure if they're short-handed or what. Kind of a disappointing start to the morning."

"Arrived (seat yourself) and was immediately brought offer of drink. Order taken and filled fast, and they were BUSY. Food came quickly, hot and very good. Homestyle. Drink refills aplenty and server was super nice, attentive without being bothersome. I recommend this place for breakfast. Food was cooked to my request."

"First time ever coming here and this is my thoughts. Trish was our server. She checked on us multiple times and is so friendly. This place is clean and lots of room inside. Family friendly. Now let's talk about what you are really here for the food. The pancake is probably one of the best that I've had. Fluffy and had the perfect crunch. Paired with hot syrup. The western omelet had flavor in every bite. My friend doesn't like omelets and tried mine and said it was delicious. The hashbrowns had the perfect amount of crunch. The biscuits tasted homemade and the gravy didn't need salt or pepper. I would recommend this place to EVERYONE!"

"Make it 2-1/2 stars because of the friendly reception. This is an older fairly Spartan establishment where most of the patrons appeared to be regulars and friendly conversation between tables was ongoing. We got there about 11:30 and took a booth as it is a seat yourself restaurant. I made eye contact with the hostess who was grabbing menus and silverware as we sat and she greeted us, gave a brief description of the "special" and desserts, then took our drink orders. We ordered two sweet teas and the hostess said our waitress would be back with them in a few minutes. This is a good place to comment on the booth cushions. Brenda's has a combination of wooden booths with padded backs and seats; and tables of various sizes with metal chairs, padded backs and seats. Padded is good because we want to be comfortable while we eat. Unfortunately, the booth seat cushions were cracked and uneven, making it a bit uncomfortable. The padding and covering needed replacement a few years back. Our waitress was out with the tea within a few minutes. My wife ordered a broccoli cheddar baked potato. I ordered the special - meatloaf with mashed potatoes, brown gravy, and green beans. The food was delivered within 5 minutes. Hers came with a very small paper container of butter and a pile of steamed broccoli florets and some shredded cheddar cheese melted over the medium sized potato. It was dry and had little flavor. My meatloaf was a large portion, but was made with such a large quantity of fillers that it tasted less like hamburger and had a mushy texture. The thin ketchup glaze didn't help much. The green beans were good and the mashed potatoes had good flavor, but we're thin - almost like instant. The tea was a little off flavor, as if the preparation and dispensing container needs more regular cleaning. We weren't offered refills and our waitress didn't bring our check to the table, even though we pushed our plates to the edge of the table at least 5 minutes before getting up. She was at the register though and had the total - $22.48. I paid and she didn't offer a receipt."
