People's Cafe — Restaurant in Cambridge

Well it was ok for what you pay. My wife REALLY liked it. Although I think more on principle of supporting a small business than actual taste. I on the other hand was not really impressed with the food. The service is absolutely WONDERFUL though. But that's pretty normal with a small town cafe.

So I got pancakes (which are seriously the size of a dinner plate and DELICIOUS) hash browns (which were so oily they were basically mush) bacon (which was good) and scrambled eggs (which were also extremely oily but still good) AND a large glass of orange juice which good to me because it was pulp free and pulp is the bayne of my existence.

The syrup is NOT good although if pressed I would say it was REAL maple syrup although not a particularly good maple syrup. Which again is nice in theory... But is too bad for the pancakes which are actually really good buttermilk pancakes.

The hash browns were the most disappointing for me. As mentioned they were so oily and greasy that they were mush. And being I love hash browns... I was looking forward to them. The serving size awesome. Half a plate worth of hash browns is definitely my size. But I didn't finish them because they were so oily.

On to the cinnamon roll. Oddly enough I absolutely loved it and my wife said it was only ok. So I don't know... I would personally recommended it. The cinnamon roll that is.

Will I go here again...? Probably against my will because I love my wife. But if it's just for me... I'll just go to perkins or McDonald's where the syrup is good. And edible hash browns.

update I updated to 4 stars from 3 because I realized I may be a little more nit picky than most. I do recommend this place for a good breakfast at...

I used to love this place! The people are nice but the food has gone down hill. I had a pattymelt and the burger was about 1/4" thick, cooked to over done, dry, and black. They burned my onion rings black and brought them to me like that. I had them make me new ones. My Dad had the 6oz. Sirloin steak on bread. It was over cooked, stiff, and hard to eat. He saved it for the dog later and the dog could not even chew it either. The home made fries are no good anymore. They are big like JoJos now. They are not the good thin hand cut ones anymore. My Husband and Mom had the roast beef, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy. They got over cooked shredded roast beef and fat chunks. Stuffing with so much sage you couldn't eat it. Watery mashed potatoes, but the gravy was good. We have been going here for years over 25+ years stopping there on the way home or way to cabin. We will not go back again! They are not...

Been a few years since I've been here. I like to support local business so decided to have breakfast here.Food was good last time we visited. We came in, they were busy, but not slammed. After 10 minutes of no acknowledgement I grabbed menus from a bin on the wall. I was admonished by a waitress for doing so. Then had to wait another 10 minutes to get drinks and table setting. Another 5 minutes and they took our order. They were not that busy and there were three waitresses so really no excuse for the delay. The place isn't that big. All the staff seemed to be having a bad day. No smiles, slow to fill water and tea.

Food when it finally came was as good as I remembered, but doubt I'll be back. I generally write favorable reviews, but I just got a vibe that I was more bother than I was worth. No problem, there are other breakfast and lunch places in town that serve good food and seem to actually want...
