First time at Cafe 98. Ordered the shrimp and grits. It arrived looking appealing and dressed with a cheezy sauce. It was seasoned well and included diced sausage. The service was outstanding with friendly wait staff.

Great breakfast this morning! I ordered the Tomato Benedict and it was wonderful - lots of fresh spinach, great hollandaise, and the eggs were perfectly poached. I had the fruit cup and it was full of fresh strawberries and blueberries. To top it off, there was a fresh orchid! My husband had the sampler platter with pancakes and a variety of breakfast meats that I got to try, too. The pancakes with some of my fruit was a nice addition. Yum! Good coffee to start with, too. Oh yes, good service as well.

I usually give my servers and restaurant staff grace and patience. However, 2 weeks in a row we had the EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE. So now I know that the entire mood in there is to do the complete bare minimum at the job and to do it badly. Both weeks it took over an hour to receive our food. BOTH TIMES. There is no sense of urgency there what so ever. The food is WAY better at waffle house for a basic breakfast. We consumed both breakfast and lunch and neither blew me away. I have NEVER been so ready to leave an establishment. Not only will I review here but I also plan on telling anyone who attempts to eat there to run! This area has a million local amazing breakfast and lunch locations and if this place doesn't turn around their menu pricing and above all else their service, then it will not stay around.NOT ONCE AFTER ORDERING OUR FOOD DID OUR SERVER EVEN COME REFILL OUR DRINKS or CHECK ON US FOR IVER AN HOUR. NOT UNTIL I HAD TO GO UP TO THE FRONT HOST STAND AND TELL THEM NO ONE CAME. And once the food finally came out it was like a mom (server) shouting out McDonald's orders to her kids. She held the plates of food up and was asking who ordered what? WHAT A JOKE!!! oh and when the food arrived it was cold!!!

Excellent!

Had a great dining experience here. The service was on point. We wanted for nothing and the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The food it just really kind of underwhelmed us. Was not flavorful. It definitely did not match the atmosphere of the restaurant. Would love to come back and give this a second shot. They might have been having an off day. But if you're looking for a quick bite and a friendly staff, this is definitely a good place to go

A throwback in a beautiful historic home! We went for breakfast - I got the seafood omelette with a biscuit and gravy and a side of cheese grits ?? From the coffee to my last bite I have to say it was heaven! Staff was on top of our table, and food was great. Definitely recommend.

You walk in the door and as soon as the sweet smiling hostess greets you, you know you're in for a great experience. And the re-do since the last occupant is crisp, open and welcoming.We ate there 1st day (8/31) for lunch (Delious Hawaiian burger, sweet potato casserole & okra for me, and the grilled shrimp plate with cream corn & sweet potato casserole) and the next day (9/1) for breakfast. Returning a second day based on the first should say a lot for food, service & atmosphere.Their coffee is the best anywhere - I had 3 cups the 1st day and 4 the next!!!I actually had shrimp and grits both days. I opted for no meat but shrimp in my breakfast serving, instead having it on the side. It turned out to be a very smart move. The proteins didn't compete that way.Trust me, you'll never want "plain ol' breakfast foods" again. And as if it wasn't a scrumptious looking plate already, they 'guild the lily' by topping of the grits with a beautiful petit orchid. And the service is 5☆ - THANK YOU TINA! Your anticipated every need.Cafe 98 is THE PLACE to treat yourself special. YOU DESERVE IT! Tell them George and Deborah sent you. ?

We stopped at Cafe 98 on a Wednesday morning for breakfast. The restaurant wasn't busy and we were seated immediately. Our hostess was friendly and cheerful and she delivered coffee and water promptly.Our server took our food orders shortly thereafter and we waited a reasonable length of time before our meals were delivered. Our orders were prepared exactly as ordered.The flavor of our food was acceptable but not exceptional. The pancakes were good but a bit lacking in flavor and disappointing considering the rave reviews we read about them online.The only real complaint we had was that the bacon and the hashbrowns tasted like old grease as if they were cooked on a grill which had not been recently cleaned.Overall though, our food was acceptable and we would stop in again to sample the lunch menu.

My first time at Cafe 98 and I had the shrimp wrap and it was delicious. Highly recommend. I waitress was a great young lady very attentive but not too much. Very personable

Visited a handful of times and found the service to be professional and amazing than most places. The wait time is shorter than your franchise sit downs. The choices on the menu for breakfast and lunch were excellent and items were fresh and well prepared. As a community we should support our local restaurants and keep them going. Hats off to the staff and owners.
Our food was absolutely amazing and the service was even better! This was honestly one of the best restaurant experience we have had post COVID. These guys went above and beyond.

I had breakfast there this past Sunday morning. The waitress was great. Told us immediately to be patient as they were short on staff. That was no problem. I ordered pancakes and bacon. The bacon was tough as shoe leather and the pancakes were tasteless. Maybe an eighth of an inch, basically very thin and utterly had no taste.I love supporting local businesses and I do not mind paying a little higher price but I expect the food to be really good. I would not recommend this establishment.

I would love to have received more biscuits and alot more red gravy. 1 biscuit 2 slices of bacon and my egg with a sampling of gravy. It was good and this is the first time I've seen red gravy down here, the gravy needed pepper to give it a better taste, all in all I was satisfied with the food. Their coffee cups are way to small, I like seeing the waitress but she was at our table every 2 minutes because we drink copious amounts of coffee. Waitress was delightful to talk to. Look forward to trying more on their menu.

Food, service and restrooms were all excellent.Rueben sandwich and sweet potato fries.
