As a European, visiting this restaurant was a shocking experience. We were served by a gentleman who carried a loaded gun at his side. Pro-gun statements, war slogans or Trump posters were hung all over the walls. If you want a real hillbilly redneck experience, go there, it's unbelievable. Oh yes, the lettuce was rotting and the food in general and as expected typical American trashy and unhealthy.

Karen’s Kafe is the best place to eat hands down! Karen and her staff make you feel at home and so loved. I have recommended to everyone I know and have taken all my friends and family! You don’t want to miss out!

We stopped at this small homey cafe for lunch. The owner is a veteran and the walls are decorated with patriotic mementos. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food came out quickly and was hot. Menu has anytime breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, salads and some platters like Country Fried Steak. We ordered 1/2 breakfast burrito with green chili sauce. It came with home fries. It was large and tasty. The second item was a patty melt, also very good. It came with a side salad or fries. Some salad dressings are homemade. We then split a delicious homemade cinnamon roll. Coffee is locally blended and roasted.

How many places have you eaten where you get a hug from the proprietor on your way out the door? Karen and Stephanie are real people and they are AWESOME. Great food served by the management and a quaint homey atmosphere. Huge portions and a military discount for service members, veterans and first responders. It just doesn’t get any better.

The food here is DELICIOUS! I had the special which was slow cooked pork tenderloins and omg was it good! My boyfriend had the Sloppy Steven. Adam was our server and he was great!!! The owners are very kind. I highly recommend stopping by. I think this will be a regular place for us now.

Yummy biscuits and gravy. Delicious coffee. One suggestion........how bout' you keep your plates during this bone chillin' winter on a food warming tray. Ive seen them at the ARC cheap.The icy cold plate cooled my food too quickly. Other than that....... real friendly folk. We loved the patriotic feeling inside restaurant. ???

Had breakfast. Food was great. Service was great. Atmosphere was great. Kinda pricey but it was good and it's nice to support a small local business. Recommended!
Stopped in here for lunch, had the chicken fried chicken and mashed potatoes and green beans with bacon. It was a very big portion for a very competitive price. The atmosphere and the restaurant were very clean and the service has some of the best service I have had in 30 years, you don’t find that very often anymore but you will find it here. Definitely worth your time and your money make sure you support this local establishment!

Cute little place with prompt and friendly staff serving hometown Americana breakfast which provides for a great stopover before or after visiting the Painted Mines Interpretive Center. The half-portion breakfast burrito was more than enough to fill one up. While it was okay, it benefited from a side of salsa to add flavor, which also helped to add dimension to the otherwise accompanying bland hash browns. Others in my party ordered the biscuits and gravy which they absolutely loved and again, the single biscuit order was enough to satisfy each of their appetites.

We are from out of state visiting friends and do a bit of traveling. Best tasting steak I ever had and I have had plenty. Safe friendly environment and the owners treated us and everyone else like family. DO NOTjudge this book by it's cover. going back for Sunday breakfast before we leave for home.
