This was my first time there & I took my family we were treated so good. The food was great and so was the service. The owner Monay is very on hands and a sweet person her host Ken is also great A+ oh and the music was on point I will definitely be back and with friend

Was traveling through CT, and somehow ended up at empire cafe at midnight on a Saturday night. Their kitchen was open late which was nice. I am from the south so I do love me some spicy food. they delivered, I ordered the Rasta pasta with chicken and it did not disappoint. Got to meet the owner, she was super enthusiastic about her craft at empire cafe. She also told me they can make vegan options as well. Support this place.

Their hours of operation are very odd they claim to be open on their website when they are not at all open there closed I'm sorry to say it I don't believe this place will last much longer if they cannot get everything in order You're waiting 45 minutes to an hour for coffee or even for food The prices are extremely pricey for what you get and the service is very slow do you feel very uncomfortable waiting for your food and coffee and it's like you're better off going somewhere elses. I ate at this restaurant and it left me with a sour feeling of not wanting to come back again when you order your food for example chicken and waffles you would think you would get chicken strips not chicken wings The waffles had a bad taste I'm sorry to say I will not be returning again.

Family and I were looking for a place tonhave breakfast and happened upon Empire Cafe. We decided to give it a try and were happy we did. Inside was spacious, clean, and super cute! Our server was very friendly and attentive. We all enjoyed our breakfast very much, especially the delicious sausage gravy. Definitely would come again!

Don’t waste your time, ordered very simple things, like a chocolate milk and received a piping hot hot chocolate. They were “out” of the 2 things I wanted to order. Very very mysterious staff and place. I just can’t put my finger on why it is like this. It needs

The service was great, the place was very open and clean.My wife and I got the sausage gravy eggs Benedict. I'm originally from the south and had my doubts when I saw southern cuisine.The biscuits were from frozen and warmed up. They were also soggy from the amount of water coming off of the poached eggs. The home potatoes... Now I'm used to spicy food and these were a bit too spicy. For those who do not do spicy food, I advise switching these out with their fries. The gravy could have used a little more salt and pepper when it was made.It was good... but just wasn't pleased with the quality/price ratio.Cost for 2 plates of this and two coffees came to around $30+.

I just stopped in for the first time. Its Sunday morning and there is no wait. I had a perfect breakfast in a clean and beautiful place served by friendly people. They have great coffee and the potatoes are amazing!!! The prices are very reasonable especially for the quality of the food and service. I’m going to be eating here a lot.
Most unprofessional staff I have ever been around. The only guy who cares is that new cook who actually cares about his job. That other cook swearing and cursing a few months ago was very unprofessional. This place turned me away 2 times for lack of food. How u have a good service cafe with no food. Poor cook can't even do his job. I give this place a few months if that and only because that rude cook is gone this new guy might save them! Buffets are great on Sundays and there's not any yelling coming from that kitchen anymore. But still never have the breakfast I want. If it happened to me and my family I'm sure others have been turned away for lack of food. So of the 4 times I been there first time in March 2023 rude yelling cook and my eggs were wrong and now last 2 times I was turned away for lack of food. 1 TIME we had buffet and the cook came out and was very pleasant he's gonna save that place seems like no one else knows what to do.

Must turned over cooks again ? I was there this past weekend and I ordered the sausage biscuits gravy eggs Benedict I ordered this dish because a few weeks ago I was in and it was delicious gravy perfect consistency this weekend the gravy tasted like you've been there for a week. A friend ordered fruittop waffle no whipped cream brown strawberries and dried out blueberries It was a little embarrassing considering I recommended we come eat at empire it was so good my first time there. Our waitress hardly spoke to us unfortunately our glasses were cloudy. What happened?

I went for a going away party. I was surprised, it was a nice off the beaten path place. Not hard to find. We were there at night, so there was a difference. We brought our food but I am quite sure the food was good there. Black owned place. Good sized parking lot, back and front. Service was excellent! The people who run it were very friendly. We brought some stuff but they had their own. We all had a very good time. They danced and partied until it was time to close. I appreciated how it was, very nice!! No trouble what so ever. My nephew and so to be niece really loved it. Must go back for lunch. Must say thank you to the coordinators and proprietors. Had a very nice time at your place of business. Thank you!!!
