Mid Cities Cafe

The wait time was understandable because of how busy it was. What was inexcusable was that the owner/manager ignored my husband and I when one of her "regulars" came in, so she greeted them before us, despite us standing at the front for 10 minutes. It took 30 minutes for anyone to come to my table. It took another 20 minutes for me to get a beverage, another 15 for my order to be taken, and a whole hour for my food to be brought out. It doesn't stop there, they took the order incorrectly! So my husband's food was not what he ordered, He specified the chicken fried chicken multiple times, and yet.. chicken fried steak. Also, we never did get our beverages refilled. I think a good indication of whether the service was good, is if the waitress/waiter never let's you see the bottom of your coffee mug... 100% disappointed and absolutely do not recommend.

I've dined in once before and it was pretty tasty. I ordered pick up today while my mom and sister are in town visiting: 2 bacon waffles, cinnamon French toast and 2 iced coffees. I got a call about 10 minutes after I ordered saying it was ready. I arrived, paid the full bill and received two plain waffles. I stated that we were missing quite a few items and those were the incorrect waffles. We waited, I was upcharged for the bacon, and our food was ready. Bacon bits were dumped on top of the waffles, the iced coffees had no ice, and there was no butter or syrup for the French toast. We are pretty disappointed.

Must be the Irish in me. Let's talk breakfast potatoes. The potatoes served are the freezer bag diced variety found at your local grocery. No issue there, you can make those taste pretty good... Like frozen French fries, if they are made fresh to order they taste pretty good. So Mid Cities Cafe, what about the diced potatoes? My experience makes me think you probably pre-make the potatoes in bulk. The critique of the potatoes: a bit dried out, sunk in, and not hot. The outside texture was chewy. The crispness it had achieved in a past life had faded away. These poor potatoes could only look at their picture on the menu as being the golden brown potatoes they use to be. Nope, these poor guys tasted more like they had been cooked crisp, then refrigerated, and served reheated. Why not freshly cooked to order like French fries?

This is def a local recommendation. The food is great. We had the pancakes, cinnamon French toast, and regular French toast. The only downfall is the amount of time it takes to get your food, and even get your food ordered. Seems like a lot of high school kids work there...and they only had one person waiting all the tables when we were there. Took FOREVER!!!
