If you find yourself wandering through downtown Antioch, surrounded by cute shops and looking for a spot to grab a bite, you have to check out The Vegas Cafe! This place has such a cool, cheerful vibe with all sorts of Vegas-themed decor. It’s like stepping into a mini Sin City (without the chimes and jingles of slot machines of course lol). The service was lightning fast! The waitstaff were friendly and made sure everything was just right. As for the food, don’t expect anything fancy- The menu is down-home dishes that hit the spot. I tried the stuffed omelette and the biscuits and gravy, and they were delicious! Comfort food at its best. Overall, I’ll definitely be back. It’s a great spot to relax, eat some good food, and enjoy the quirky, fun atmosphere. If you're in the area, don't miss out!

From the tasty food to the glamorous Vegas ambiance, The Vegas Cafe is the perfect stop. I had the turkey sandwich with their chicken and rice soup and sweet potato fries. It was cooked just right, fries were crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside. The soup was creamy and delicious. My wife had the raspberry crepes, and she thought they were amazing as well. You can tell that the whole staff here is caring and helpful. Many military vets walking around looking happy. A place like this is hard to find, but when you do, you will likely be back again.

Breakfast and lunch until close time which is 3:00 pm. No dinner service. Classic American diner fare with sumptuous portions and a wonderful service to match. Weekends get busy. Not much in the form of dessert options. Counter service available, as well. Gaudy Las Vegas style decor. I enjoyed everything except their coffee which tasted stale to me. When I expressed my dislike, they immediately took it off my bill.

It is time to get Souped Up! They run an All You Can Eat Soup & Salad special for $6.99. That is a great deal. Plus you have the choice on weather you want a bowl or cup. The menu lists two daily soups but when I typically walk in they always have 5-6 soups showcased in the front of the restaurant. Soup is a big deal here.

There is always a special going on for Soup to Go. Soup can be purchased in 3 different sizes with 32oz being the largest. Sweet Mother of Soup Bowl! And its not expensive. I believe it is under $6. They also run a deal. Buy 2 of the same sizes of soup and get a third for free. So you could walk out of here with 96oz of soup for under $12. Soup It Up Baby!!!

Today I decided to do the Triathlon of Soup. I started out with a bowl of Broccoli Cheese Soup. I must say that it was delicious and full of cream. I would not expect anything less from this great local family diner. Since I was all warmed up I moved to the Cream of Chicken Rice. Again really delicious and full of creamy goodness. Those two were the star of the soup show.

I decided to take a break and get my salad. It was an okay mix of 90% iceberg and 10% romaine. There was cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, croutons & cheddar cheese. I also got the blue cheese dressing on the side. I picked a good time to go healthy. Not!

Okay back to the soup. I next went with a cup of Tomato Bisque and I must admit it was really delicious. I was really surprised. I was very letdown with the Vegetable Soup. It was really tasteless. I'm glad I only got a cup because I couldn't even eat it. I hate wasting but it was not good at all. I am also on the fence with the chicken dumpling. The broth was delicious but salty. The dumplings were very big and dry in the middle. They needed to be a little smaller. Plus if you got a cup of the dumpling soup it was full of dumpling.

Our waitress was young and very absent minded. We would order stuff and she would forget or bring the wrong thing. It was hard to get mad because it wasn't like she was doing it on purpose. It was just her age. She would even repeat what we wanted back to us and she would then bring the wrong item. She even caught herself once when she realized she brought me the wrong soup. Hopefully she will get better in time or realize she doesn't want to be a waitress.

The kids meals here are a great deal. We were able to get a grilled cheese, milk & apple sauce for $3.65. We then added on a soup for $1. Like we didn't have enough soup going on at our table or in our belly.

I almost forgot about the bread basket. I'm sure it broke some health codes. The buns were stacked on top of a basket full of packaged crackers and breadsticks. Which I'm sure were touched by several other diners before me. They also shove the bread plates on the side of the basket. Again touching the packaged crackers. I know this is not fine dinning but health codes still need to be followed. I was on a soup high so I looked away. Nothing was gonna bring me down.

This place is cute and a center piece of the community. The owner walked around wishing a Happy Holiday to her regulars which seemed to be every table but us. Yeah we were skipped. I'm not hurt but it was an opportunity for her to get out of the box and meet new people. It's nice to meet new people. Who knows you might even make us regulars! Maybe next time you'll say hello.

If you're traveling through Antioch and your looking for some good diner food or to fill up your belly with soup, then this is the place. It's open 24 hours which is a bonus in this town. Next time I need a soup fix at 2am then I'm coming...

Wow. What a difference, and not a good one. My wife and I visited yesterday around noon, so lunch rush as to be expected. Once seated, the atmosphere was just...bad. Our waitress was unable or unwilling (or both) to get simple requests, that were repeated, correct. Gave the sense that she was too busy to take care of us. Made an off comment that yeah it's been busy like this since we opened. Oh. I'm sorry that my patronage of your workplace is an inconvenience for you. Don't worry, that won't happen again. Service and overall feel from waitstaff was poor.

Food...another story altogether! Phenomenal! Portions just right, flavorful and delicious. Only meh was food was a tad cool, because of the busy rush they were experiencing???

I am really disappointed in this experience. I had come here numerous times in the past, when I lived in Antioch, and pre-CoVid. Now, I will not be back. I wish you good luck. I know there were other employees that were working to make the dining experience more pleasant, so don't let my review sway...

I used to love this place. I hadn't been there in almost a year. The moment my fiance, son and I got there it was very packed and everyone was running around, given since its breakfast. Seating didnt take too long which was a plus. Since it looked very busy and we had our 7month old son, we decided just to get cream of chicken and wild rice soup to ensure it wouldn't take long, regardless it took over 10 minutes. The soup was fantastic just as it was before. Our waitress came back roughly around 2-4 minutes as we started to eat to see how things were going and everything was fine. The second time I saw her was 6 minutes after that and she just brought us our check. I still wasnt done eating and she started to clear our table. We werent offered refills or asked if we would like anything else. It felt as if we were being kicked out. We spent a total of 25 minutes from entrance to exit. I would try going in the afternoon when it isnt as packed. You are able to choose from...
