Amazing food and service! Super cool layout of the establishment. The biscuits and gravy were the best I have ever had.

Enjoyed my dining experience at the Hatters Cafe! I ordered a grilled cheese with bacon and Mac and cheese, and it was delicious! The only complaint I have is I was seated right at the entrance, so there were a good bit of people standing right by my table. But it is such a cute place and my waitress was so kind! And the gift shop beside it is so neat!

This is fun place to visit if you're out adventuring for the afternoon. Mentone is a cute little town! The food here was good, not over-the-top great, but the service was awesome and everyone was super friendly. Definitely a place to go at least once. Order the tea and waffle sandwich, don't recommend the BBQ grit cakes unless you really like spicey things. Also this place is pet friendly! You can eat on the screened-in porch with your dog! Big plus!!

We visited during our New Year family trip — a party of seven with no reservation — and they seated us in less than 10 minutes. We were given a lovely private room in the back with a view of the yard. Our server was absolutely beautiful, almost doll‑like, perfectly matching the restaurant’s whimsical theme.
The food was delicious, and the décor and table settings were adorable — it truly felt like stepping into a little wonderland. The service was wonderful as well. Despite hearing stories that some places in the area might not be welcoming to Asian tourists, we felt completely comfortable. They treated us with genuine warmth, smiles, and that charming Southern hospitality.
One thing to note: they automatically added a 25% gratuity. I wish they had mentioned it upfront, but honestly, the service was so good I would have tipped that much — or more — anyway.
This place is a true gem, and absolutely a must‑stop if you’re in the area

We visited here after stopping in the gift shop on a whim. The sweet lady in the shop suggested we have dinner there and since we were fresh into town with no plans, we took her up on it. It was a super strange dining experience. We knew it was Alice in Wonderland themed, but it was a lot. And it wasn’t necessarily done well. Our table was not sturdy and our chairs were not comfortable. It is almost as if they cared more about keeping the theme than they did about the full customer experience. Food was mediocre. We had the jalapeño poppers for our app and they tasted ok, but looked so unappetizing. There wasn’t any description on the menu for them, so we were surprised when they came with barbecue sauce and on a bed of corn. For our entrees, I ordered the Chicken Marsala and my husband ordered the Tuscan Chicken. My dish was boring…it felt like it was missing something…salt or some sort of acid - it lacked flavor. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Tuscan Chicken though. He also ordered the bourbon tea and enjoyed it. Our waitress was knowledgeable and took great care of us. We did not have reservations, but they are recommended for dinner - as there are very limited tables. Overall, it was an experience to remember, but not one I’d probably entertain again.
**Edited to add that this is my experience. That’s what reviews are for. Not everyone will share my opinion that this place is chintzy, and I’m okay with that. The owner seems to be incredibly offensive with every review less than 5 stars - which is a huge red flag. They need to take the bad reviews and grow from them or simply accept that they just aren't everyone’s cup of tea (pun intended).

We came on vacation because I wanted to go to a nice tea house and it did not disappoint. The tea was excellent and very well priced. We tried the French lavender, rose, and chai and they were all wonderful. The food is delicious, the space is decorated beautifully and when you’re ready to go you can buy some tea to go. Would come again 10/10

This is such a wonderful restaurant. The decorations are from Alice in Wonderland- lots of doilies, teapots, old hats and gloves, etc. The food was delicious and we spoke to the owners, who were such nice people. They also have a bed and breakfast. One room is a princess room- even has costumes for dress up pictures. There is also a nice gift shop next door with gifts, homemade bread and homemade candies.

Sweet owners/workers, awesome food, adorable decor, and great shopping. Highly recommend!
Nothing but good things to say. I drive for a living and have passed by thia place numerous times, but always had too big a trailer to park. I finally went through the area today in my personal vehicle and had the meatloaf with mac&chz and spicy corn, with hot apple spiced tea. The tea was so good that I decided to buy some to take with me from their gift shop, and got a peanut butter cookie the size of my head lol. 10/10 experience, will be back.
