Joe's Cafe Breakfast House — Restaurant in Royalton Township

Joe and Gabriella and their dedicated employees always work hard to do a great job. The food is great, they are always very busy and they all hustle and do a great job getting customers seated, their orders taken and the food cooked and delivered to the diners amazingly fast.

We have been customers of this family owned and operated business since they started, many years ago. When they first opened, their restaurant was less than 1/2 its current size and I remember having discussions with Gabriella about they were considering expanding into the space next door and they were nervous about the risk. Turned out to be a wonderful move for them and they are always busy.

I love to see hard work and risk rewarded with success when its earned, and Joe and Gabriella have worked extremely hard to make this place something special and have certainly earned our respect.

The reason they are busy is they provide very good food with large portions and they do it quickly. If you are looking for the place with multi flavors of coffee and a dozen different types of crepes, this isn't it. This is traditional very good "diner type" food which is priced very reasonably and served very quickly. It's one of our regular favorites because they do such a great job and they care about their business and customers.

Bring an appetite because portions are large and generous. Always very good food and excellent service. Never a disappointment. Excellent value, its a great breakfast type diner restaurant that does their very best to get their customers in, fed and on their way. Thankful to have a reliable restaurant with very reasonable prices, consistent high quality food served quickly.

I love their corned beef hash and they will even make it into an omelet if you desire. Now I am hungry, but I will have to wait until tomorrow as they close mid afternoon, as they should. This is a breakfast / lunch type of diner so they are open early and close before dinner. I have no problems with that, as they need to have a life outside of work. Great place, great food, great value. One of our favorites...

I'm sure they have other bkfast dishes that absolutely rock, but the $12 Huevos Rancheros was an underwhelming flop.

Three eggs, laid out on three small corn tortillas, swimming in ice cold, watery salsa. The only side was a "TV dinner" sized portion of refried beans--flattened out to make it look bigger--and literally a sprinkle (about a 1/2 teaspoon) of chorizo on top of the beans.

Nothing else came with this dish. No toast, no fruit, no meat, nada. And the tortillas were pretty much worthless after being soaked in the salsa.

Portion-wise, honestly, I guess it was about normal for a "healthy" meal, but there's no way it was anywhere close to being $12 bucks worth of food, sorry. This meal was nothing but a cash grab. The picture in the menu even showed more food than I received.

(And on a side note, their coffee had an odd flavor--almost like cannabis. Coincidentally there is a CBD shop two doors down. ? 👀)

Not sure if this place raised prices/cut serving sizes after COVID, but that's the general vibe I got. "Shrank-flation".

Service was fine, atmosphere was about what you'd expect for a bkfast place located in a weird plaza. Nothing fancy. Parking was fine.

If paying $12 for about $6 worth of edible food is your thing, then go for it. I'm...

Food: 4/5 (solid good breakfast!) Service: 5/5 (remember your name, kind staff!) Atmosphere: 4/5 (nice restaurant!)
