Mr T's Family Cafe — Restaurant in Mount Vernon

Today we wemt in 10 deep. Today is 11.17.24. We were told on a rainy day, we can't be seated unless we were all there. Did you get that? Furthermore, they were mad at me as I was inside wanting to see where sister sat since they split us at my request to a 6 top and a 4 top, and the staff said I couldn't be inside unless we were eating as I was blocking the fire doors. Their layout does not conform with fire egress as they have too small of doors. 3-0 one way, 3-0 the other. However, I'm not an overly large guy. So, the 8 top we were turned into a 10 top as we all have visited regularly for over 8 years. The food is great. The chefs are great. I've offered to invest in Mr. T's.... but today was unique. The rudeness of the hostess and the unreal demeanor of the staff religiously having people wait outside because of fire lane violations... so to add, a large guy exceeding 400 pounds came in and they let him wait inside as he was cold. For the record, my party is an all native party. We love the place... but my family didn't like the way I was told to leave, and the other patron was not. He was allowed inside as he was cold. To add another wrinkle, one lady in our party is 8 months pregnant... and she has a baby shower at 5 pm today. When she showed with her hubby and child, making us a party of 10, they changed the wait time to 40-60 minutes more. So.... Unreal. Maybe they need to consider allowing us to make reservations so they stop having this stress added to their staff. It's quite clear when you make a pregnant woman and kid wait outside too...add 40-60 minutes to the wait time, I'd say it's time to evaluate...

Wow! I'm a local and I finally got to eat here! And I LOVE IT! Where do I start? I came with a friend to eat breakfast here. I think my plate was like $13 dollars. Only reason I remember is that I paid for my friend and it ended up being like $26 dollars. But although that might sound expensive to some wait till you see how big are your pancakes and the breakfast plate. My friend and I, even came to the conclusion, we would have been fine if we had even shared a plate. Everything tasted amazing. From pancakes to hash browns to biscuits. Oh my goodness! those biscuits definitely beat KFC and pancakes, I-Hop's! One of the things I really liked, was that the waitress was very attentive. She would come around and refill my cup of Joe all the time and I wasn't even finished with it!That to me is excellent service. So excellent, I haven't forgotten and really want to go back again and bring my family and close friends. We got helped right away even though it seem busy. Who does that? The place is pretty popular I believe. So go check it out and quit...

I started coming here 5 years ago. Since June there's a new owner and I really like her! She was our server today. Classic American breakfast food. Everything I've eaten here has been just great! I go for breakfast. The portion sizes are still outrageously huge. There are a few changes and all for the better. The staff are all very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Food comes quickly and is cooked well. If there's a wait, tables turn rather quickly. They are only open for breakfast and lunch.

And make sure you try their fresh squeezed orange juice that you squeeze yourself using a very cool juice machine... Just choose your oranges.

The parking is adequate for this size restaurant. The building can't grow in size and neither can parking grow. People are allowed to park across the street, just don't park at the front door of that business. No sign is needed. When it's busy enough to need extra parking, it becomes pretty obvious because you won't be the only people looking for parking or walking across the street to or from...
