Genoa Cafe — Restaurant in Genoa Township

September 2025. First visit today. Visited with my daughter and two grands. This is an older establishment but in great shape. Basically plain decor reminiscent of the 60's. Booths, tables and counter seating. Open to serve breakfast and lunch. I ordered the Patty Melt. It was very good. Serverd on two pieces of toasted and buttered rye bread. One third pound patty, cheese and grilled onions. Comes with Soup of the Day. Friday being a very good Cream of Potato soup. The real shocker were the very affordable prices. My $8.95 meal would probably be at least $12 to $15 at many other locals. There is a kids menu but did not see any "Senior" specials, but with the low prices really not needed.

This place is not raved enough about, way better than corner grill in my opinion any day! I hate we just...

Honestly, i LOVE KFR but this place in town is closer and just as good if not better (sorry Sam, you still make AMAZING dishes that i crave, promise 🤗) seriously tho, our waitress was so nice and accommodating with having a toddler and all. Tip good for entirely reasonable prices. Try their steak and eggs with the truly home-made scalloped potatoes. TRUST ME, it won't disappoint. Another satisfied and we'll satiated customer. Food for friends and family. Feel very much at home here. Also, new remodeling really brings a mre upscale vibe and relaxed atmosphere; Would HIGHLY...
