I’ve been showing my patronage since the first day Luke and Linda opened !! I’ve always had a great experience and so proud of what they’ve created !!
I’m simply elated about the new location ! Congrats to you two amazing people and your staff !! And,,.. don’t forget Ma And Pa’s place in Oregon !! Sonny’s is equally “top notch”!! 🥰

If I could give this place a zero star I absolutely would. I literally just came in to pay for an order I placed over the phone with someone who seemed pleasant. When I walked in immediately I didn’t feel welcomed. I stood in the front for a couple minutes with workers just looking at me from afar without saying a word. I proceeded to walk to back towards the bakery area and the kitchen where I seen a few staff members working and was still ignored. They literally saw me and pretended I wasn’t standing there. A worker sat down a bag that I am assuming was mine without a smile or saying a word to me. Not only was it uncomfortable it was embarrassing to be treated this way in front of everyone that was there. How very rude! Disgusting behavior. I will never come here again. There were about three tables of people sitting and chatting that clearly felt welcomed. I will take my money elsewhere and tell everyone one I know about this horrible experience.

Restaurant was very clean. There is a large variety of food. I had the hobo skillet which was very good. The only thing was the hashbrowns were over cooked. I'll just have to be specific next time.

Such a phenomenal establishment. We stopped in here for Mother's Day breakfast. We showed up seeing a large group of people waiting outside for tables, and we thought we would see what the wait time was. They turned over so many tables and worked so fast at getting everyone seated that we hardly had to wait. The food here is so delicious. We have been here twice now, and both times, the food has been above what we expected. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We will be stopping through here more often for breakfast.

I had such a wonderful experience at Luke’s Café, and I have to give a special shoutout to Rayya for making it extra special. She was incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout my visit. Her friendly attitude and care for the customers really stood out and made the atmosphere feel welcoming and relaxed. You can tell she takes pride in her work and truly values each guest. Thank you, Rayya, for your great service—I’ll definitely be back!

Went there for a quick bite. Got the meat lovers skillet. Was told to seat myself and the woman who came to initially see what i wanted to drink didn’t seemed to thrilled to get me a coffee and water. The server was great and the food came out quick. The skillet was an average skillet that you could get at either a Perkins or Dennys.

Great food, great family friendly atmosphere. I believe Luke and his wife both work here, which makes it a great environment. Many of the servers have worked here for a number of years so they are seasoned and very professional and on top of your orders. The pancakes are excellent, and I always enjoy the ham steak with my eggs. Highly recommend!

New location (Old Medicine Shop). I'm a little worried about parking when they get busy but we were able to get a spot when we went on Friday for lunch. It was out first time at the new location. It is nicely done, bright, well lit and open. Food was good. Mom got the bacon and Swiss omelet with hash browns and rye toast with a Hot Chocolate. I got the strawberry and pecan waffles with crispy bacon. Did not disappoint.

Saw this place online & decided to give it a try. We sure are glad we did. The 3 skillets we had were delicious. The portions for what we paid were spot on. We all wound up taking almost half of our breakfast home with us. (which became lunch btw) The people working there are friendly, there's definitely a small town, family atmosphere to the place. We'll be back.

My boyfriend and I go there at least twice a month minimum. Good breakfast is hard to find these days but Luke’s does an amazing job everytime. Great food, portions and service without a doubt. No matter what I decide to pick for the day I know it’s going to be delicious even if I’ve never tried it before. Luke’s food is truly cooked with love and care and it makes all the difference. And the portions for what you pay are great. Not to mention the service is always quick and kind. We can always count of Luke’s for a great meal.

Delivery. I pick up the food on time, I transport it in a hot bag, I deliver it immediately to your customers, and I get sandbagged with a 1-star for your food being cold.

Not worth the risk to deliver this food.

Just placed my order got a Denver omelet with American cheese and add mushrooms to my omelet food was decent hashbrowns could use a bit more cooking time and omelet could use a bit more cheese. Overall I give Luke's Cafe a 4 out of 5 star

Food flavor bland but ok

Service not to slow

If you stand out in no way at least be cheap.

We had an omelet and skillet with pancakes and toast. I would go back if I am in the area and needing food on the go. Maybe another plate will be on point.

Seems like it has the right things to be able to be a good establishment but needs to refine some things. Price and taste of food are good. But walking into the restaurant and being able to immediately spot dead bugs is not. Also upon bringing my food home and opening it, I found a hair in my eggs.

Really disappointed because the potential is there, but the execution wasn’t.
