Stillwater Cafe — Restaurant in Stillwater Township

What an amazing gem hidden in a small town! We went to visit family in the area and there’s not much around, but there was this general store, turned cafe. We were arriving on a Saturday and my aunt asked if we wanted to try dinner at the cafe. You reserve your spot and place your order ahead of time. There's only one seating for dinner but you are served a one of a few choices for each course of the 4-course meal (appetizer, salad, entree with two sides, and dessert).

For the appetizer, I ordered the shrimp cocktail. It was a good, standard shrimp cocktail. My wife had the Mushroom & Herb Cream Cheese Crostini, which she loved.

Next we were served the salad with Mixed Greens, Watermelon, Almond & Feta with Balsamic Dressing. It was very light and refreshing. Amazing flavor combinations.

For the entree, my wife and I both ordered the beef short rib. Simply amazing. It was fork tender, wonderful flavor and topped with gravy. The sides were Brussel sprouts on top of shredded carrots, and a bacon cheddar potato. Every thing was cooked to perfection. (The kids both got the Chicken Parmigiana and loved it)

For dessert, we strategized and got two of each dessert to split between the four of us. Creme Brulee Raspberries and Chocolate Panna Cotta with Mandarin Orange & Cream. All I can say is we wish we got four of each. We split them and they were both so delicious, we wished there was more to go around. The portions were great and we were already stuffed from the meal, but that didn’t stop us from all cleaning our dessert plates.

Went to the Stillwater Cafe today for lunch. Overall we were very disappointed. Although the food came out quickly this time perhaps they should have taken more time in preparing it. Ordered cheesesteaks which were mediocre at best, a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich which was just two slices of cheese and a slice of tomato on burnt toast (not the way Mom made a grilled cheese). French Onion soup was not available so tried the chicken gumbo which wasn't great. Also, heard people at the next table try to order a hamburger only to be told there were no more burgers. Talking with the server she explained that the regular chef was not there and a young person was filling in. We have always enjoyed going to this place but the last two visits were very disappointing. I hate to give a poor review but in this case it...

Our first visit, but we’ll definitely be back. We saw a Facebook post that someone shared about the Friday night dinner special and this peaked our interest. Decided to try it for breakfast first. We both had their “hash brown stack”. Different from anything we’ve had - AWESOME! A little out of the way for us for breakfast, but well worth it. We’ll be back, and are definitely going to try the Friday dinner specials soon. (The only reason I gave 4 ⭐️ for service is that the food comes a little slow. This wasn’t an issue for us, but might not be the best place if they’re busy and you’re in a hurry - we weren’t. And don’t let that be a reflection on the staff who were very friendly...
