The Toast Cafe — Restaurant in Anderson

Terrible service! First time ever stepping foot in this place! Never ordered and won’t try again! Service is beyond appalling! There were several folks there at breakfast. The hostess said it would be about a 10 minute wait because the kitchen was behind. She cleaned and set all of the tables. There were several tables cleaned. There were 3 older ladies ahead of us that had been waiting longer than my wife and I. My wife has leg problems and can’t stand for long periods of time! I finally asked the hostess if she could at least seat the ladies for their wait. She blew up on me telling me how she said it’d be a 10 minute wait. Why couldn’t we wait sitting for instead of being a fire hazard in front of the door. The hostess was extremely rude and disrespectful chasing us out the door yelling at us! As a tid bit of information, my wife and I frequent and rate restaurants on or page Foodies of Central Indiana. I’m certain that since we were basically ran off, we will not only give you a bad review here but also on our food blog page. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Since posting of my review owner Gary Sallee has been trying to bully and harass me on Facebook to change my review. 25% bad reviews before my review! Does he harass everyone that gives him...

My husband and I have been trying to get in to The Toast for a couple weeks now. Our schedules never aligned with their slower periods. But today we got in!

After a brief wait to be seated, Neecie, our hostess, got us sat and set up with waters and menus until our server came. We watched as Neecie quickly worked to clear tables and greet everyone who came in. She was organized and on it!

Our server, Jahla, came to take our orders. She was super sweet and attentive. Where we were sat, we were able to watch the cooktop and how everyone worked together. The professionalism and flow of this entire team just added to the already relaxing atmosphere of the restaurant. I remember the previous version of The Toast with dirty carpets and people yelling at each other. This version is welcoming, pleasant, and clean!

When our food arrived, it was fresh and delicious. (Fresh food takes a little longer to cook than the previous canned versions served before. However, the wait was still minimal) The onion rings are perhaps our new favorite of any restaurant. The portions are more than filling, and the prices align with every other restaurant in the current economy. This is a refreshing addition (re-addition?)...

We had a great first visit at the newly opened Toast Cafe. They were busy but the staff was working hard and regularly communicating to get people seated and fed as quickly as possible. The food was good and prices were reasonable; one surprising stand-out was the grits, which were some of the best I have ever tasted. The decor was nice in a “diner but modern and cool” way. The staff were all friendly even though they were clearly working very hard. If they stay busy like this they likely need to figure out a way to add a waiting area/vestibule both so people have a place to sit and to keep the place from freezing every time the door opens. One minor thing; my biscuit sandwich was great but my last bite had a clump of unmixed baking powder. My wife pointed out that this is a good sign of fresh made ingredients but it was an unfortunate final taste to get. The cinnamon roll we shared was outstanding; it was one of the better ones I have ever had. We will definitely be back to the Toast Cafe. It was a good experience and I expect it will only get better as they polish...
