⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Brian Houk
I stopped in today to grab a quick breakfast while doing some work on my laptop. From the moment I walked in and was greeted with a smile, I knew I was in the right place. This is a great spot to enjoy breakfast or lunch wile enjoying some great food! The atmosphere is quiet and it is always nice to see a locally owned restaurant busy! The other thing I loved was that the staff was laughing and talking with the customers and you could tell they loved where they work and interacting with customers. I highly recommend you check this place out !
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Ellen Paullin
Great breakfast! Stumbled on this gem by accident and am glad I did. Had breakfast at 9am on a Monday. They are open daily 6-1:30. Lunch also available. It's bigger than it looks from the outside. 2 separate dining areas with a mix of booths and table. Friendly staff. The only reason I chose a 4 is having to wait a really long time to get my order taken. It was busy. But I was passed over many times to serve other diners that had arrived after me. Not a deal breaker by any stretch. Just the reason I didn't do a 5 for service. Had the small breakfast platter which had an egg, 1/2 slice of ham, hashbrowns, toast. Choice of meat and bread. I added a cinnamon roll. It was all very good. The cinnamon roll was huge. Could easily share between 2 (or 3) people. All the food was cooked as I asked. Good flavor, good portions, quick delivery once I got my order in. Phenomenal price. Only $14 for that AND a cup of coffee. $14!!!!!

Tucked away in a small nondescript strip mall is this small neighborhood diner where seniors seem to come and order their standard breakfast. The entrees are your typical well portioned standard order comfort foods with reasonable prices. What caught my attention was a small handprinted sign on the door explaining the extra charge of .50 cents per egg due to high egg prices - I read about this and now I see it— at least it is an add on and can be taken away when the inflationary rates for eggs go down if that is their choice. I ordered the full order of biscuits and gravy with a side order of bacon with enough left over for dinner. The rich gravy was creamy with a plethora of small chunks of sausage, but the biscuits not as fluffy (Somewhat flat-4 biscuits). The bacon was a little over cooked, for my taste, but each piece had good flavor. The food was well seasoned. The inside decor was well worn with a homey atmosphere served by a wait staff that seemed to enjoy serving up conversation with some of their regulars— this reminds of the neighbors that enter Waveland Cafe on Polk similar set up with a delightful neighborhood vibe.

This review is a tough one for me. Overall I liked this place but it is because of one item on the menu, the pancakes. They are HUGE and delicious. We got a blueberry one. We also got the omelettes, now they had good flavor but were small. Here's the catch, not sure if they were really small or just compared to the pancake they just looked small. Either way the pancakes are the star here!!!🥞🥞🥞
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Dave
The biscuits and gravy was phenomenal. They did not skimp on the gravy either. Really loved our sausage patties. We will definitely be back!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Brad West
I just love eating breakfast here! Everything is great including the service. You can't go wrong with their pancakes. Go eat there!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mark Feauto
My family and I were staying in a nearby hotel this past weekend and looked online for a place to get breakfast, and I'm so glad we found 100th St Corner Cafe! The food was very good and very reasonably priced, portions were generous, and the staff was wonderful with our three small kids. We even had a plate of french toast go tumbling on the floor, and the staff was sure to reassure our son that it was okay and that accidents happen as they cleaned it up. They even offered to remake it for us, but we were pressed for time and had to leave. I had the blueberry pancake platter with two eggs and two slices of bacon. The eggs were cooked exactly how I asked for them (over easy), and the bacon pieces were large and crispy. The pancakes were awesome and were served with warm syrup. I give our visit a 10/10! I'm not sure how it could have been better!
