Cafe USA — Restaurant in Bossier City

Food Critic of 6 years here. I stopped by this quaint café for lunch and ordered my daughter a kids grilled cheese and myself a 6 oz. steak. My sides were baked potato, a dinner roll, and green beans. The staff was kind and quick to serve. My steak, which I ordered medium rare, was cooked to the like for the most part but the outer edges cooked a fair bit more. The potato was offered with butter, faux bacon bits, and sour cream, I refused the sour cream as it does not suit my palate. Over all the entire meal was bland, unseasoned, and tasteless. Even the dinner roll was unremarkable in any way, soggy, and not even browned. My daughters grill cheese was just as expected although I was a little surprised at the lack of fries, for 4.99 I suppose it was passable, she seemed to enjoy her meal. As you can imagine kids meals aren't exactly fine cuisine.

Overall the atmosphere was homely and enjoyable enough.

2 stars as the food would be considerably better if it were seasoned even with salt and pepper, but the experience was fair enough.

I do not think I would...

UPDATE AS OF FRIDAY MARCH 21 Still nothing bad to say about this long-time Bossier City staple. Very friendly staff that greets you right as you walk into the Cafe. If y'all haven't tried that chicken salad sandwich, you don't know what you're missing! It's very delicious. Oh, and get you an order of those tasty cajun fries to go with it

Good normal diner! Solid food, good decor, awesome staff. Clean tasting water!!!! Really liked that I could see into the kitchen. Good prices for the service. Good coffee. Honestly it's been a struggle to find a good diner and this beats out the competition. All the other diners are either over priced, dirty or have bad food. This places rocks! Really love the staff.

I personally think they need to upgrade a few little things and have a polish up. I also suggest looking into like an express conventional toaster oven like they have at dunkin or Starbucks for heating up things like pastries and waffles. Microwaves make food taste strange and bread harden. Also just kind of wish they had more sweetener and creamer optiona for coffee, but it tasted great black-so could i really ask...
