Manchester Cafe

Ate here for a late breakfast/​lunch and it was the best breakfast I’ve had in a while! Bacon eggs and hash browns were cooked perfectly and the staff was all very personable. I’ll definitely be back.

Just thinking about going here for breakfast… really awesome. Their food is reasonably priced (can you say CHEAP), their staff is friendly, and the food… ahh, the food. Sausage omelet #5 is my favorite, but I’ve had others. They can get busy and be a bit slow, but that’s because the whole region tries to go there at the same time. They could probably use a bigger place, but it still works out well.

Great food with a great selection. It’s your typical diner atmosphere where everyone knows your name.

This is the worst restaurant ever. The food is terrible. The service is horrible. The prices are… well I don’t think anyone should pay for garbage. Do they even know that vegetable be sides French fries exist… seriously. The only way you could get me to enter that place again is dead.

Must have BREAKFAST! French toast is hands downs the best i’ve had. no syrup needed. Food is more homecooked and Prices are good. Wasn’t a fan of lunch or dinner but breakfast is worth it.

I’ve been here many times over the years. Today went in with family, party of 12, around noon on a sunday.
Servers were friendly and accommodating for the larger group during peak hours.
The 2 stars are simply for the service factor.
I ordered breakfast, pancakes, eggs, sausage links, patatoes and toast.
One of the worst breakfasts I have attempted to eat.
Pancakes were rubber, sausage was rock hard it was cooked so long, someone in our group who has allergies to shell fish was given fries that are fried with crabs. And she specifically told them no fries because of her allergies.
All in all small town diner with pretty bad breakfast.
The group seemed to enjoy their linch/​diner platters though, so I will give them another shot next time I am in the area and update my review.

It’s just your average Greek diner. Nothing too special, nothing horrible. Lots of old people go there. I got the gyro which was pretty big with a good portion of fries. I paid six bucks, it was decent. The place is kind of like my review. Bland but not awful.

No. Just, no.
Super busy, parking is rough. Servers were friendly but seemed too rushed and not particularly attentive. A few of our orders got screwed up. And both my brother’s eggs and my toast were cold.
Just didn’t get anything right, today.

Another Greek greasy spoon. Def need to update décor. Good for breakfast but that’s about it.

I have never had a hot meal at this place. It seems that all of their food is served lukewarm. A lot of older people eat here and I believe that’s the temperature they prefer. The food is ok and so is the service. Have only had lunch here multiple times. It’s close to work and really there’s nothing else nearby.

I really enjoy coming here for breakfast on the weekend. Yes, there is often a wait for a table, but it’s usually short. They get you in quickly. I love the mushroom and cheese omelette. Having recently visited a few other breakfast places, it is my opinion that theirs is the best. I would not recommend their veggie omelette though. The oregano is overpowering. My kids like the pancakes and I personally recommend the French toast.
The service is pretty standard. Nothing spectacular I suppose but they do keep things moving, and I’m not really going to make friends with a waitress. So to me that works. I get what I want and they move on to the next customer. A few bus boys help too. They keep your table cleared quickly so you aren’t sitting with dirty dishes.
I wish the coffee were a little better. The servers are very good about keeping it filled, I just wish I wanted more of it lol! That would be one thing I’d ask them to change.

Pretty standard diner food. Breakfast is probably their best prepared meal but it does tend to be greasy. Extensive menu with lots of different variety. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about but they have recently installed new tables/​booths and such but that doesn’t change the crowd, which is mostly older folks. I usually end up ordering the chicken breast with peppers, onions, and cheese which is delicious when it is not overcooked/​dry but they have replaced it for me when I complained. French fries are delicious as is the shrimp bisque when they have it.

Some food here is ok, but not really all that good. The service here sucks.

Unbelievably large selection of meals on the menu such as gyros, chicken Parmesan, oysters, club sandwiches, shrimp, stuffed eggplant and even some Chinese entrees. Such diversity is awesome, but raises the question as to how much attention each dish really receives. Ordering the lunch special turned out to be a good choice. It was a chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce, onion rings and plenty of melted cheddar cheese on Texas toast. The waitress was very strict about substituting sides, she gave a stern NO at the request of onion rings instead of fries, although there were some exceptions. Also tried the chicken Parmesan sandwich which seems to be popular here, but was unimpressed by the generic chicken batter and marinara sauce. It’s difficult to assign this place a star rating with only one visit and such an extensive menu, it may very well deserve higher than a 3 star rating, but I can only base my review on the small sample size of food I actually got to try. I highly recommend this restaurant if your group always has trouble on deciding what type of food to eat.

On a Tuesday evening, my teen son and I visited the Manchester Café for the first time. Upon entry, one is reminded of an aging state-​run home for elderly, with the sloppy mint paint with black trim, accompanied by worn and food-​spotted carpeting. The booth seats sag and poke under one’s butt, sinking so that the table is chin level. It’s a poorly lit eatery, lacking any personality north of life, and the menu contains numerous selections, the insert full of misspellings and confusing entries. (Chesser mashed potatoes anyone?)
The lady who seated us looked about as worn and tired as the carpeting, with a splash of something wet darkening the front of her grey shirt. She avoided eye contact as much as humanly possible and the iced tea she brought was so bitter, it was undrinkable.
Several minutes after being seated, while we watched those around us waiting for their food (oddly enough, although the restaurant was fairly full, not many were eating), our waitress approached to take our order. I asked about the «Cranberry salad» listed as a vegetable option. I was told it was «cranberries and pineapple smashed together” – complete with hand gestures to demonstrate the smash. On a whim of suicide, I ordered it to accompany my broasted chicken and cup of beef noodle soup (the soup listed under the daily specials). My son ordered the hot turkey sandwich with a side of coleslaw.
The beef noodle concoction was hardly soup, but a clump of sodden noodles in a paste-​like gravy. I couldn’t have spotted beef had someone offered me cash to do so. The best thing about the soup was the packaged saltines which accompanied it.
During our nearly 45 minute wait for our meal (yes, we timed it), we watched plate after plate come by our table. The standard meal appeared to consist of either french-​fries or gravy. Not to be outdone, when my son’s hot turkey sandwich arrived, it was white bread with slices of turkey, in between layers of gravy. The coleslaw was bits of cabbage, floating in a vinegary cream base.
The broasted chicken, while having a nice crust, was nearly flavorless and the breast meat was close to sandpaper dry. After 45 minutes, I was nearly ready to eat my shoe, and maybe would have been better off to do so. The smash of cranberries and pineapple were so sweet, it would have melted my teeth had I eaten more than the two bites I tried. (One bite was to see how it tasted, while the other was to affirm that the first had been as horrible as I believed it to be.) I never did get my roll with butter that was advertised on the menu (but maybe that was a typo as well?).
This little adventure cost me slightly over $ 15 (not including tip), but I would have been better off going to McDonalds across the street. I hate eating at a place where the thought runs through my mind of, «I hope I don’t get food poisoning from this».

I had a little time before work so I went for some breakfast with my wife — had the mushroom omelet with hashbrowns. The service is good, but not out of the ordinary and the food is tasty but also standard diner quality food. I think it was decent for the price -$ 13 plus tip for the two of us.

My grandma used to come here with my grandpa all the time before he died, so when she mentioned that, I knew I had to try it.
Tucked away in a little run down strip mall is this wonderful restaurant. Definitely got the feeling it was an older person hangout, but there were also lots of families here.
Their menu was huge! Probably the biggest I have seen in a while! That scares me because usually that means that they don’t specialize on one particular type of food. But I was completely suprised at how good everyones food looked.
I was in the mood for some good home cookin, so I got Salisbury Steak. I never get that… ever! It was very good! I got one large steak with my selection of two sides, applesauce and macaroni. They have this cranberry salad as a side which I highly recommend. It’s sweet and tangy.
I’m hoping that by taking my grandma back here, she can continue to visit this place even though it brings back memories, since we made some new ones.
