Front Page Cafe

I’ve been going here for years and this place has consistently given great service and great food and excellent prices. There are few places in town where you can get good home cooked food for such a low price. Breakfast is nothing out of the ordinary in terms of selection. Always great and comes out quick. You won’t find a place in town with better bacon. Lunch/​dinner is excellent. I’ve got their chicken fried steak, chicken, hamburger steak, smoked pork chops, etc and have always tasted great. I have yet to order something I haven’t liked. Their sides are made in house and the yeast rolls are delicious. The only thing I don’t care for is the liquid butter. So weird! Overall, this place has the best country food in town and the best prices. Staff is very friendly and attentive as well!

This place was huge disappointment. We went for breakfast on the Unilocal recommendation. My biscuits and gravy were terrible. Pasty with no flavor no sausage and stale biscuits. My husband ordered the ham platter and it was terrible as well. Coffee is flavorless. I had a side of grits and they were clearly instant, with dry flakes caked on the bowl from the microwave. They didn’t even take the trouble to stir them or add butter or anything.
The staff were attentive, but when we paid the owner was far too busy talking to his buddy to ask how our meal was.
Not worth the drive the calories or the price. I there were zero stars that would be my choice.

Had heard this was good breakfast place. Disappointing. Coffee so weak you can see through the carafe. «Butter» is some sort of yellow, greasy liquid on a squirt bottle. Asked waitress if there was actual butter or margarine & she just stared at us as if we were from Mars. Food was ok, not great, service bad. And did I stress how bad the coffee was?

Great place for breakfast. Good service and atmosphere. Owner was extremely friendly and helpful.
Biscuits and sausage gray were amazing. The chocolate gray was tasty too.

I had heard the «Front Page Café» was similar to Lambert’s, so a group of 5 of us decided to try it yesterday, Wednesday, 8÷30÷2011. When we walked in, the hostess said nothing to us, she just looked at us, and walked over to a table, so we followed her. The young man who was our server was oustanding (very personable and attentive). The food was incredible, the price was great, and the portions were more than generous Like Lambert’s, they threw rolls to us, gave us beans (Lambert’s gives you black eyed peas), and okr, and they were all great. They came around several more times, with rolls, and the other pass arounds (to all tables), and by now, we were feeling pretty darn good about things. After a bit, our server saw some of us were pretty much finished eating (but I was still working on mine), and a couple people in our party asked if they could get a «to go» box. He said sure, but told us that their policy is to take our left overs to the kitchen, and box them up for us (which we were fine with). He said, he would be back with us in a few minutes, as he had a couple other tables who needed his assistance, and we said, no problem. Then, the hostess came by with a tray of rolls, and as she got to our table, she turned away from us (she turned her head and her back), and passed us by, like we were some sort of plague! I was still eating, and wanted another roll, but I realized at that point, I was not going to get one, and I was really disappointed. When the hostess came back by, one person in our group asked her if he could have another roll, to take with him, with his leftovers, and she said very bluntly «No», we don’t do that. He said to her, oh, I was going to ask our server for one, when he boxed up his leftovers, and she said (in a very nasty tone – and I quote) «I’m the Boss! She then went to the kitchen (where our server had gone, and she came back with 3 «to go» boxes, and reached in between two people in our group, and just sat them down on the table, without saying a word to us, and walked off! We all just looked at each other, and said, that was not cool at all. Our server came back and informed us that he could not give anyone any more rolls. He was really nice about it, and we understood. But when it comes to comparing Front Page, to Lambert’s, Lambert;s wins, hands down, because there is no excuse for being rude and nasty to your customers, and that is exactly what «The Boss» was, (I think she goes by the name «Star” – but she sure is not one). I have traveled on my job for a very, very, long time, and I have never had anything like this happen — never, thus, a very poor score here. They just got put on «The Back Page»!!!
