Cafes in Many, LA

“Sit yourself diner style atmosphere. Not the fastest, but enjoyable. Food (chicken fried steak, redeye gravy, two eggs over easy, hash brown potatoes, white toast and decafinated coffee) was perfectly cooked. No water automatically was served. No refill offered on the decafinated coffee. Salt shaker top was once accidently filled with pepper but not cleaned, so it was the same color of pepper, but hosed out salt. Nearly ruined my breakfast. Note: Unless you know upfront, chicken fried steak comes with redeye gravy liberally poured all over - suggest getting a side of the gravy, like the locals know to do. Hashbrowns have peppers and onions, and only one piece of bread is toasted, buttered and cut in half. I'd like them to add 'Splenda in the Raw' to their repertoire of coffee sweeteners. Overall, I enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the dining experience. Lessons learned: In the future, I: (a) will bring my own 'Splenda in the Raw,' (b) will not go there if on a short clock, and (c) will order up front: (1) gravy on the side, (2) a second slice of toast, (3) a glass of water, (4) coffee in a 'to go' cup, and (5) remind the waitresses to regularly bring coffee refills.

Parking: Facing the diner, lots of parking on the left side of the building on a side street.“
