It is a quintessential South Milwaukee spot. The food is always solid, you get exactly what you expect, and the service is wonderful. The waitresses and the cooks are always friendly. It is always clean and welcoming. And the cost is super reasonable. A real gem of a breakfast diner.

Stopped in there after shopping at Walmart in South Milwaukee. It is located directly across the street from there. I ordered breakfast and had over easy eggs, hash browns, corned beef hash, and coffee. Their service was quick and friendly. I only waited about 7 to 10 minutes for my meal. And everything was done to my satisfaction. Great place to stop.

If you live in this area, you've tried them all around here. South Milwaukee Cafe is the best place to sit down and eat breakfast. When we say we're going out for breakfast we mean South Milwaukee Cafe. It's that good. Best Jambalaya Skillet ever, or Chorizo Omelette.

Great little local spot for a meal. The folks in the kitchen do a wonderful job with what they offer and were even kind enough to make a 1 off BLT w/ grilled onions and egg for me which came out as well if not better than I make it myself. Just visiting for the week and it was a wonderful treat.

Glad I stopped in. Hot Coffee & the Denver omelet sometimes a short stack on the side but Sausage links was the extra side that day & they were great
I like the Chicken Fried Steak with a spicy sauce they give you, the name escapes me but I had never seen the brand. Enjoy.

Father's Day Sunday, 2023; 9:45am. Surprisingly, we had our pick of the half dozen booths that were open. Good thing. Within 20 mts, the place was packed with chatter and laughter! Our waitress, a young lady, was beyond personable and efficient. Our food came quickly. It was hot, generous, and yummy! So why 4 stars and not 5? They were completely out of dairy creamers for our (good) coffee. Only had chemical-based liquid Coffeemate. Yuck! Wish they'd also have a flavored creamer assortment to choose from. Aside from that? This is a cute, no frills neighborhood diner. With great owners, hard workers, and friendly customers! If you've not been there... Go! We will return. SOON!

The service was alright. Not bad, not good. The food was horrible, though. I've never had a bad crepe in my life until I went here. Part of it tasted like it was cooked next to my husband's eggs(which is okay, but that's how strong the scrambled egg flavor was), the strawberries were frozen and thawed then cooked so they were those gross pale mushy kind. The crepe itself had an odd flavor. You have to pay extra for those gross strawberries and whipped cream. There was hair all over the floor. Somebody else's comment said it was a hot pink george webbs. That's exactly what it looks like in there. I'm pretty sure it was a George Webbs. This place was so bad I made a private list of places not to go on google maps just so I never go here again.

My wife and I were in the area and she wanted an early afternoon breakfast. I found the SMC online and it had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. We found the cafe in a strip mall (which in some cases is a bad sign) but the door looked inviting so we went in. The atmosphere was nice enough, the food portions were decent, the food was no nonsense and tasty, and the prices were reasonable. We'd go again if we were ever in the area.

We come here often to pick up single orders as well as group orders often. Ordered online for pickup and had asked if the side of Mayo was in there. She said no because we charge for that. Now since I placed my order online I didn’t bring my wallet, so couldn’t pay for it if I wanted anyways.You charge for a simple standard condiment???? I ordered a sandwich with fries and a soup today. Can’t give me a side of Mayo, and don’t put any ketchup packets in my bag for the fries or crackers for my soup. Needless to say myself or my employees will not be returning.
