Tangie's Cafe — Restaurant in American Fork

Not all the hole in the wall places are a surprise. They are simply an-old established eatery with very local clientele that hang out, chat, and drink coffee. I decided to go outside my normal breakfast, ordering good Ole eggs, sausage, and hash browns. I rolled the dice and ordered something that was called a breakfast hamburger-patty it sounded interesting and sounded good. Unfortunately, it was a very overcooked hamburger patty with very little flavor A lot less time on the flat iron would have gone a long way and some simple salt and pepper at the very end. For those of you who don't know how to cook a beef Patty, here is what you do. You let it cook on one side, letting it get a brown crust on the bottom. The blood floats to the top of the patty, and you flip it over. Cook it for another 10 seconds and pull it off. Perfectly cooked warm in the middle. A little bit pink but a whole lot of flavor. You put your salt and pepper on at the very end before you put it on a plate. I also ordered a 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy. This was not too bad, a nice homemade biscuit with a simple gravy. The hash browns were cooked well. I will go back and try one of their specialtie dishes to give them the benefit of the doubt. Happy...

First time trying this place. We love family owned diners, especially hole in the walls that serve good food and have quality customer service. We bought a coffee like we normally do in the morning before coming here. I’ll be up front and say I didn’t read the sign on the door, when I should have. We walked inside, sat down, and were ready to order. The server approached. Her tone, demeanor, facial expressions, overall body language (the ways we communicate as human beings) was not pleasant or welcoming. It had a very similar feel to Pittsburgh, “Welcome to the diner, what do you want.” I looked past that, being a server in this day and age can be difficult. As we were ready to order, she advised that we could not because we brought our own coffee in. She then advised to go put it in the truck. Policies are policies. Customer service though is what brings customers back. Leniency can really make a customer feel at home, however, it can also make a customer take advantage of the system. This diner could have taken our money, when we bought a meal. Instead, they got nothing.

Do not bring food or drinks into this diner. Don’t expect quality customer service or a welcoming atmosphere.

I can’t speak on the food, wasn’t able...

My favorite place for breakfast in Utah! My husband loves this place! Tangie the owner makes you feel like YOU'RE HOME! Great place for breakfast. Great fast service. Great coffee, always hot, never bitter. And the waitress comes before you even ask for coffee and fills your mug to the rim! They have the thick homestyle bacon or delicious German sausage and perfect eggs! They also have homefries! And for us Texans they have creamy grits with butter ...Made the right way! You can also get omelets, pancakes, scones and French toast. If you like it spicy, then be sure and use the Gunslinger hotsauce. You can also get burgers, pork chops and even steak. They have a variety of drinks. And they have a kids menu. Everything is delicious! The decor is very homey with a lot of Texas and Western decor. The prices are very reasonable and won't break the bank! They are in a cute historic Downtown Main street, American Fork. And they are open on Saturday and Sunday! Great place if you're heading out early for a ski run or going on a trip on the motorcycle out of town or state because they open at 5:00 AM and they ARE THE FASTEST BREAKFAST PLACE IN UTAH! So you have time to get a good meal and still leave on your...
