They under cooked the fried pickles and false advertisement on the every sandwich come with a side you have to ask for a side which is outrageous for the face I spent 11 dollars on a sandwich that wasn't even filling but the Northside Skillet was good so one star for that but all in all not 44 dollars worth of food

Was there tonight for the rib and chicken that's their Saturday special. Got there at 6 pm and was informed they were already out of white meat, so I ordered just a full rack of ribs . When it came out the dinner roll was dry, the ribs were plastered in BBQ sauce and the meat was way over cooked. Almost like chewing on a leather boot, the green beans were also gross. Best thing on my plate was the french fries.

We popped in for a lunch while heading into town during our vacation in Birchwood. The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious with healthy portions. I had a cheeseburger which was freshly hand pattied and seasoned well. The fries were perfect. I also had a cup of the chicken dumpling soup which I highly recommend. My husband got the cinnamon roll pancakes and said they were wonderful. The waitress was friendly and helpful. My only critique is that when we walked in the waitress made eye contact with us, but didn't acknowledge us. This in itself is not a big deal, but there were only 2 other tables at the time, and we sat there for awhile before she even acknowledged we were there. She went back and forth to the back a few times, and then finally came with menus. We actually were wondering if we should just leave and go somewhere else, when she finally came and spoke to us. It would have tsken her no additional effort to welcome us and tell us she would be with us soon. That we can understand. Thankfully she made up for it with her service once she brought us our menus.

Love to come to this place once in a while. The food is good and the staff are friendly. My meal was spot on no issues with it. Although the pork sandwich was a little dry. Other than that, I love the fish..

You guys really blew it, TWICE!! We came in last Saturday morning, party of two, server brought water and took our order. Never came back to refill water or check on us for 35 minutes. Other tables that arrived at least 10 minutes after us were receiving their orders. Went to the front counter to ask about order, and the server said it should be out "soon". We had scheduled plans for the day so I told the server we had been waiting over 35 minutes and to cancel our order. No "I am sorry," no comp, just "okay."
We thought it had to be a fluke so we thought we would try again the following Sunday. This time with a "to go" order so we wouldn't be forgotten. Server took our order over the phone and said it would be 15-20 minutes. Arrived in 20 minutes and told the server at the counter we had a to-go order. She asked what the name was. I responded that no one took my name when I called in the order, and I told her what we ordered. Waited for over 10 minutes at the counter when another server asked what I was waiting for. I told that server what we ordered (to-go) and she left. The first server returned and asked for my name again and I told her my name, but that no one took my name when I ordered. She asked again what I ordered and wrote the order down on an order slip. I asked her if she was putting in the order "right now"? And told her that I placed the order over 30 minutes ago on the phone. No apology, but then she told me that my order was already picked up. By WHO I would like to know? I had been sitting there waiting for 15 minutes and no one came to pick up a to-go order. And where was their order, if they were given my order????? I told the server not to bother putting in the order. They had already wasted enough of my time. 😕. Too bad that the server felt compelled to lie to me to make an excuse for complete incompetence. We used to like coming here regularly. We won't be back.

A small town eatery that serves up big time flavor. I ordered the Northside burger pulled HIGH with pulled pork on top. Truthfully, I could have done without the pulled pork, but that’s just a me thing. However, this burger was FANTASTIC. Cooked perfectly medium rare. Flavorful and juicy. One of the best burgers in the area I have had.

My friend and I were looking for breakfast on Friday morning. We thought we'd check out Denny's but it was over a half hour wait. And I said well let's go check out Nancy's, because I had not been there in years and I remembered food was always good and the service was also. We got seated right away and we both ordered our meal and my pancake on the side and it was way too much food but it was delicious

Today all we heard the 2 waitresses do were complain about other staff members the entire time or about the ones need to go buy "coke" afterwork. From now on we will be checking out waitstaff before considering to dine in.

We loved it! And the homemade bread was a delicious touch. This was our first time in since they opened and we were delighted to see the life brought back into a classic café of the area. The 50s flare was really fun and we loved to see that most (if not all) of the seats were filled by patrons. The hot chocolate was delicious as was all the food. Great things are happening here!

We were hiking in the area and randomly picked the Northside Cafe for our lunch. I was slightly skeptical at first, because the exterior of the building needs some upkeep--peeling paint on the window trim for example. Don't let this scare you! The inside was cute and VERY clean with plenty of tables for dining. The food was absolutely delicious. I had two lovely eggs, 3 pieces of perfectly done bacon (I can't stand limp bacon!), delicious American-fried baby red potatoes (yum), and the cranberry-pecan toast which was an absolute treat. A whole plateful of delicious food for just $7! Service was fast and efficient. This place felt like a hidden gem to me, as opposed to the chain restaurants where you don't get half the value or half the flavor. Thank you Northside Cafe--we will definitely be back!

Nice looking place. They did a little make over from Nancy's restaurant . Almost the same menu but a lot more in prices. 1 to 2 dollars more then other owner. This is a OK place. Dated with coke a cola stuff and with outdated curtains. Good try but needs a new look not just cover tables with a cover and not fix the seats padding or covers. Dosent impress me. But looks like a cheap make over ran out of money. People are OK. Old ones were a lot more friendly. Waitress who took care of us was not very friendly. Spoke more to other people then to other people and us other ones there. Had there choice who they did and didn't talk to
