Was close to my hotel so walked over there. Unassuming restaurant, not much for decor. However the food was outstanding. And served at the temperature of the sun, And the service was just as good. The hotel lot was very busy, and since I had my jeep right next to my window, I didn't want to leave my space. Glad I tried this little place.

All the times that I have been in Emmy Lou's Cafe I have NOT ONCE Had a bad experience The food was excellent as always. I get the meat lover skillet and I love it. The coffee is always hot, The water was not nasty like somebody else has said. The Soda is Not flat. And the wait staff is very personable And very attentive.I was just in there today and The waitress was named Jody And she was A top notch waitress. I very highly recommend this establishment.

Gordon Ramsey should come fix this place up. Everything is from the 1970s, the carpet had holes when we visited, and the food was okay by hospital cafeteria standards, but the cheese on my hash gave me bowel discomfort and upsets which is always fun for a pregnant woman.Shame because a diner in this location is a good spot but it needs serious overhaul in the atmosphere, menu and everything.

Food is good. Coffee is also good. Clean bathrooms . Very clean inside. My eggs were cooked just the way I like it. Over easy eggs. Bacon was nice and crispy. All in all we were satisfied with the food and service.

Great breakfast. Great service. The prices were higher then expected.
Really good service and food. They go out of their way to make sure you're satisfied. Also, there are no reservations it's first come, first served. That way, you can shop and eat when you want.Kid-friendliness: There were highchairs, and they took special care with families with small children . Really nice family atmosphere

Favorite breakfast spot I've found so far in Galena as long as you are ok being outside of downtown Galena. Very fair pricing. Food is excellent and the Big Pancake (which is indeed big ?) is a great add-on to an omelette ?
