Love the food!! Larry is great and always friendly usually never have a bad experience have had a few new waitresses who are just learning and struggle to come check on their tables but have never had bad service. After moving away 2 years ago and coming back today to have surgery we decided we wanted to come to the Cafe as we don't have one where we are. The food was great and the service was great. We had Angela she has always been a great waitress over the years to us. Definitely recommend the Cafe no matter what you have you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Cafe by Country kitchen staff for always having great service keep up the great work.

Something for everybody's taste. Buffet available as well as a wide menu selection. Only open for breakfast and lunch now so be careful of when you go and check hours. Manager is super friendly as well as the staff.

My favorite place I come here every Tuesday. But it's stupid that when u use ur card to pay it charges you for that and you have to leave a tip off ur card. You can't just give it to your waitress which I feel is a bit over stepping there boundaries. I mean what if I didn't want to leave a tip at all. I would prefer to give it to my waitress.

Cafe by Country Kitchen has a lot of breakfast offerings including a buffet. I was here for the Eggs Benedict. I went here so I could try their version of "Bennys" . My review is only of the Benedicts, nothing else. The staff was polite and helpful. Amber was my waitress, took good care of me and was a delight. With that in mind, I will let you know that have a "top ten" list for Eggs Benedicts. After my visit I rated these "Bennys" as #5 out of 10. #1 being the best and #10 not as good. My rating is based on 3 weights : 70% taste 20% presentation 10% price #1 - taste: they use an English muffin that is toasted. They do use a thick piece of ham and they put parsley on top. Most of the Bennys I have tried use a small amount of paprika. The eggs were not poached but "over easy" and perfect. The Hollandaise sauce used was Knorr mix and flavorful. It comes with hash browns, which were very tasty. All of this made the review to 5 stars. #2 -presentation : It looked appetizing. #3-price: 9.89 is a good price for Eggs Benedict. Coffee for under 2.00 a cup. Now with all that said, it is hard to place Cafe in the top 5 because of how little a difference there is between all of them. They earned the #5 spot.
