Had a great Father’s Day breakfast at the bar! Great drinks, food & staff. 👍🏻
Stood in line to hear the party of 2 people in front of us told 15 min wait then the kid told us who was a party of 3 its an hour wait with 4 tables open and no other people in line waiting and a 4 top table just finishing and walking out. Not sure why we were told an hour wait … Oh well is what it is just thought people would like to know.
Girls up front were friendly and prompt upon arrival. Our server was Taylor. She was wonderful! Very nice! Made sure we had everything we needed but didn't interrupt our meal. She was very knowledgeable of menu items and had great recommendations. Food was delicious as always. Never have had a bad experience coming here. Food and service is always 10/10!

Fort Jesse Cafe in Normal, IL, is a popular brunch spot known for its excellent service, welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food. The cafe offers a variety of popular dishes such as chicken and waffles, Shrimp and Grits, Eggs Benedict, Cornmeal Pancakes, and the county fried steak, which many customers find fantastic—perfectly prepared without being too greasy or over breaded. The family-friendly environment creates a "sit around your kitchen table" vibe that makes repeat visitors feel like family. The cafe also serves fresh cinnamon rolls and seasonal dishes like the corned beef skillet and Irish crème cold brew, which customers praise for their unique and flavorful taste. Reservations are recommended due to its popularity and limited seating space. The attentive service, exemplified by staff like Tasha, enhances the overall experience, making it a place worth returning to for a satisfying and rich meal. Although the atmosphere may lack coziness for some, the clean and welcoming setting offers modest prices for the generous portions. The only downside is the subtle sign and logo that make the restaurant less visible. Overall, Fort Jesse Cafe provides an amazing overall experience with high-quality food and friendly service, making it a must-visit spot for a delicious brunch.
