Riley's Cafe Reviews
The vegetables in my omelet weren't even slightly cooked and the eggs were burnt? Not sure how that is even possible. Hashbrowns looked as if they had been sitting for a long time, didn't try. The whole place smelled of dirty mop water.
Don’t let the name fool you. Definitely using the name to get customers. First off it was way hot inside and doors open letting more hot stale air inside along with lots and lots of flys. More flys than customers for sure which you had to battle from beginning of your stop until you leave. Food was not good, had an omelet and half of the ingredients were not even fully cooked; and not sure what the hash browns were, but definitely not what I prefer; seemed extremely overcooked...read full review
the food was not that great..I went for breakfast with my best friend and she wasn't impressed either..the hash browns were spicy the pancakes had powdered sugar on them and the omelet wasn't very fluffy

Riley's Cafe is a small, family-run restaurant known for its great breakfast and lunch options. The menu features popular dishes like Eggs Benedict, including Salmon Benedict, and the Rileys Benedict, which is highly recommended. Customers praise the breakfast for its quality, with eggs cooked perfectly, crispy yet tender hash browns, and sides like fresh American Fries and taters that are seasoned with a hint of rosemary and butter. The fried potatoes are especially appreciated for their flavor and texture. The Cedar Rapids Shipwreck and scramble are also favorites, served with rye toast and enjoyed on the cozy screen porch or indoor seating. The restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere with clean, organized interiors and occasional outdoor patio seating, where guests can enjoy a soft breeze and good music. Service is attentive and friendly, making visitors feel welcome. While some reviews mention recent changes in the kitchen, with hopes that the new cook will improve, overall, Riley's Cafe maintains a reputation for consistent, delicious meals and a pleasant dining experience. The cocktail menu, including drinks like a blueberry mimosa, adds to the appeal. Whether for a quick breakfast or a leisurely meal, Riley's Cafe is a go-to spot in Cedar Rapids for those seeking good food in a friendly setting.
