Great service, very patient. I ordered a plate for a person in need. I realized it was a buffet, I asked the person their preferred meat & side selections.
Really impressed with the quick turnaround.
Great food! No frills. Must visit
Food is ALWAYS AWESOME AND SERVICE IS IMMEDIATE. ALMOST A FAMILY/HOME TYPE OF HUMOUR AND GOOD WILL FROM ALL STAFF MEMBERS. JOHN'S JOKES ARE WHOLESOME & FUNNY! EVERYONE IS FRIENDLY AND I JUST LOVE THIS RESTAURANT 😄!! Everyone MUST TRY AT LEAST ONCE! OH YES, THE BANANA PUDDING & THE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE IS THE BEST I'VE EVER EATEN!!! 😋
Omg so glad I have never judged a “book by its cover” so to speak. I had a little bit of a wait due to the incoming traffic of people and a lengthy line, which was moved along expeditiously to my surprise. Everything looked delicious so took me a moment to decide. I had the smothered pork chops, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and Mac and cheese😋. Got it Togo due to a long ride ahead, then decided to sample first cause people were still coming. A few in the line had great things to say about food as well.
Anyways, nothing said was untrue. Everything was delicious 💖. Not even big on pork, but the chops were tender and gravy was great (could’ve been a little bigger) but maybe I just wanted more🤣. Mac was great (my fav food so I’m real skeptical about everybody’s) but they didn’t fail me. Staff was very courteous and lively, with a little hesitation on friendliness from 1- whom I’m told was the owner (also a server at counter). He lacked a smile and same friendliness as other server and cashier. I’m sharing some pics. Not a fancy spot, smaller building, but clean, good atmosphere, not familiar with neighborhood but business area I believe. But food was definitely worth coming here overall. I will be back when in this area again and will do a comparison review. So overall, I was greatly satisfied and glad I ventured to this restaurant. 💖
Parking: Plenty of parking spots (narrow area) but due to the amount of people coming and going during lunch time it can be limited but definitely enough spaces. And it was lunch time when I arrived. When leaving there were plenty of spaces available in lot and on the street.
Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible due to flat entrance, wide seating area.

The food here is so so good. Home cooked and filling . Their Mac n cheese is to die for. Their chicken fried steak and fish are really good as well. Servers are friendly and the whole restaurant gives off the air of a cozy diner where everyone knows everybody. A meat and 2 costs about $13.

A Delightful Step Back in Time with Amazing Food and Service
This was my first time dining at Fyfe Restaurant, and I was immediately taken back by the warm and nostalgic atmosphere—it truly reminded me of diners from years gone by. Walking through the cafeteria-style setup was a treat in itself, with an incredible variety of options. Everything you could possibly think of was offered, making it hard to choose!
The staff were so kind and welcoming, which really enhanced the experience. I had the pleasure of chatting with the sweet lady at the register, who even told me about the breakfast they serve—I can’t wait to try it next time!
For this visit, I had the country fried steak with lima beans and collard greens, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were comforting and truly hit the spot.
I highly recommend Fyfe Restaurant to everyone looking for great food, friendly service, and a bit of nostalgia. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Waited 30 minutes for breakfast I was told it was 15 minutes wait. This caused for me to be late for work. Food was ok

I great meal for the price. Every employee has patients with "Us" who are always undecided on what we want. Thank you!

We were visiting and this was a great local spot! Food was excellent and inexpensive.
Rated 4/5 as we waited almost 45 mins for our food. I'm not a huge fan in eating and drinking out of Styrofoam.
