Niland's Cafe — Restaurant in Colo

Can't beat a good ol kinda home cook meal. This is definitely a stop you could add to your travels. Got a touch of the Cafe's history on the wall... Also I haven't been here in a good minute so the new to me is the Island where you can sit at is much better upgrade... Really helps with the flow of traffic coming and going... As we know when we were kids the value of goods was more affordable then... Today just your basic cheese burger n fries with drink probably bout 15 to 18 dollars maybe a little less.. but nonetheless it's home cookin so go ahead and check em out right on old Lincoln Way.. old 30...

Father’s Day buffet, used salad plates as dinner plates . Nobody to lid off warming pans . You had to stand there and hold . Food was not hot at all . I’m sure if an inspector went in it would not pass . The bacon wimpy , some not done, biscuits where dry , sausage was pail, not sure if it was done or not . Carrot cake was just plain awful . This cost was $15.00 . The one thing that was great was the waitress was fantastic. She always is when we go in . This is about the 6 th time we have gone in since they reopened.
