Great food and great service

Old world diner

Do they have fish and chili fries?

I agree with Kimberly, their fish sandwich is great. while I've never had chili fries there, I have had fries and I have had chili.

Do they offer Wi-Fi? Is it student friendly?

No wifi

The breakfast here is awesome. It's hard to find a place that makes a good corned beef hash and biscuits and gravy. Chef's coffee shop does a great job with both. Their pancakes are decent. Staff is friendly and the regulars who inhabit the diner in the afternoon give the place a grandparent's house atmosphere. I would definitely prefer this place over Dennys.

We were hungry and driving by and looked up and saw the sign. What a great place to stumble upon. The staff was fun and welcoming. The biscuits and gravy was completely off the chain... perfect! This is absolutely an old-fashioned home cooked meal. If you like leftovers you will definitely take some home.

I have been stopping by Chefs since I was a toddler. All the breakfast options are incredible and served all day. If I go out for breakfast, I almost always make it a point to stop by here. The staff are also friendly and make the experience.

Cute place. The pictures I'd seen didn't do it justice. The food was good. My tuna melt was unlike anywhere else I've had it. It was like a tuna salad melt which was interestingly tasty. The service was good. The server wasn't particularly friendly but she did her job promptly and efficiently. Would definitely come back.

The AYCE beef ribs on Saturdays is okay but they were rather overly fatty and too cooked so that there wasn't much bite to them. Maybe they were sitting for awhile because the ribs got better after a reorder or two. The soups are good if you like em' thick i.e. more like porridge or stew with little broth. The clam chowder needs more clam juice and less flour in the roux. Or maybe just cooking it better. It had a heavy flour undertone. Don't forget to leave space for homemade (on premises) pie. The atmosphere is of a local family place. Comfortable, cozy and friendly staff. I have been going to since I was a kid with my parents some 40 plus years ago.

An average dinner, friendly service with down home cooking. I ordered the Texas Omelette, and it would have been very good, but there were egg shells all over the thing haha! Decent cup of coffee that won't ever be half empty. Note they do take credit cards, but as of March 1st, they charge a .50 fee. Parking is limited, so good luck!

Came her today with the family after my son's open house. The outside is very welcoming the staff is very very nice. Our waitress was great and very attentive. The food was uhm , it was okay. I dont think we plan on coming back. Only because it was kind of pricey and the food was olay. But hey to each their own. Just because it wasn't out cup of tea doesn't mean you won't like it. So yeah try it. You might like itOh also I got a small salad and it was almost 9$ that's kinda crazy right?

In my family, we all like breakfast for dinner once in a while. This is a great home town feeling cafe. May be due for an update, but at the same time, the decor adds to the vintage feel. Many patrons seem to know the staff and visa versa. Standard coffee shop fare, usually a baseball or football game on, great pie! Very family friendly and comfortable. Generally quite busy on weekend mornings. Plenty of parking.

We have a long wait when there were Empty Tables available and when my mother put in her name they didn't write it down so people in behind us where in front of us and I asked for over medium eggs and as you can see in the picture they were over easy I also asked for crispy hash browns and they didn't do that it took us a long time to get a cup of coffee but a busboy when ask immediately brought us a cup of coffee the biscuits and gravy were kind of runny and so so the salsa that they have is kind of not really spicy I didn't ask him to fix everything because I didn't want to wait any longer for I was starving and when I fat person wants to eat it's now hahaha

I don't like leaving bad reviews but i just had to for this one. My husband and I saw that it had great reviews online on Google so we decided to give it a try. Walking in it was very full but we didn't have to wait long. The waitress was nice she was very kind and helpful but the food was not good at all. While waiting for the food I noticed how dirty it was and how badly it needed to be updated. The carpet looked very dirty the seats were dirty. When we finally got our food I regretted it right away. My hot chocolate still had undissolved powder and it wasn't hot at all. My pancakes were pure rubber it was actually hard for me to break it apart with my Fork. The waffles were very big but they were very toasted and it just crumbled apart. I can tell that this place has loyal customers but I cannot recommend this to anybody.

Why do people put food on their menu's that their cooks don't know how to make? I order huevos rancheros! That was an option on their regular menu and I got spaghetti sauce on top of scrambled eggs! Wow really? Not to mention that it came with a side of Green onions and pepperchinis. Never again going here.

A regular favorite when we lived in the area, we used to eat here often on the weekends for breakfast. Pretty good sized portions and really good service, they always keep your coffee topped off. Weekend morning are usually busy so there might be a wait but it's worth it. Parking can be limited during those busy times too but there is some street parking nearby. It's been there a while so don't be fooled by the looks, I don't think the place has been remodeled in a long time but the service, food and price is right.

I will start by saying it is my first time here and I was here on a sunday @ noon when I arrived it was busy. There were 3 people ahead of me on the waiting list. After 15-20 minutes of waiting I was called for a table. First we were offered coffee and the waiter immediately asked if we were ready to order which was great. After having placed our order it took roughly 30 minutes of waiting before our food came out. We were being cared for nonetheless by getting constant coffee refills. All in all the eggs and bacon were great but the hot cakes tasted a little undercooked from the inside. The coffee wasn't as hot as expected and the fries were crinkled fried which I personally am not a huge fan of. I gave the 3 stars because the service was fair but the food wasnt up to par. Pricing was not too bad it totaled up to $28.55 for 2 meals and a side of fries.

Chefs is a very nice place to eat. The food is always good. The service is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. It is worth your time to give them a try if you haven't already tried them yet. They've been in business for a long time and treat you like family. Stop in some time you may make some new friends.

Chefs has been around for a long time, and that's it's charm and a reason you should check it out. The staff is friendly, the prices are good, the portions are huge and the food is ok, definitely better than Denny's.Coffee kept flowing without me asking, we got a breakfast burrito and waffle combo. Another thing to look out for is the parking, there's some in the back but there's not much usually. Probably because a lot of families come here in separate cars.

Food was okay, Service was ok. The waiter was pleasent but seemed more interested in the regular customers. It was my first time there and I wasn't overly impressed. Kinda old fashion in decor and could use a good cleaning on the general surface of the place. But restaurant overall was clean for eating purposes. My lunch date suggested it so I trusted it. Wouldn't be my first choice if I'm in the area again. For what they charge, I'd think they'd update a little. But that's me.
