We are from out of town and looked for a restaurant with good reviews for breakfast. We decided on Sidetrack cafe. When we entered, we were not greeted, instead staff members just kept looking at us, we had to ask about a table (the large tables only seat 4, we are a group of 5 adults) we asked if we could pull up a extra chair because there isn't any seating for more than 4 people in the entire restaurant. We were told no, they didn't want any walkway blocked (although you could easily walk around a extra chair) so we were baffled as to how we were going to even be seated. They told us we could wait on a bench against the wall in a hall area for seating. Nothing else from staff. We decided to leave and go to berrien springs to a different place, hopefully with friendlier staff. So sadly we didn't get to try any food and the Google reviews are good.

Delicious food, great price, FAST service and you could tell the place had plenty of regulars. I came alone and one of the sweet ladies who was sitting alone offered for me to sit with her, and while I declined, it really goes to show the level of love and care that is in this mom n' pop shop. Also pretty solid street parking, very clean inside and out, friendly staff, the booth was comfy and the menu had a bunch of really yummy looking combinations on it. I had a waffle and was probably in and out within 30 minutes (which is exactly what I was hoping for!)

Decent breakfast. Stopped in while traveling. The locals seem to love it as it was definitely full on Sunday morning. Fast service. I'd give it another shot if in the area.

Love this little gem of a restaurant, great breakfast with friendly service. A place where everyone knows your name, unless you're from out of town, but they'll still treat you like one of their own. 🥰

Cute little Cafe, very nice staff and clearly a local favorite. The local charm is on display inside. The food was very good and the bacon, can we talk about crispy bacon? It was incredibly good. Do yourself a favor, visit this charming multi generation small town cafe.
The best of the best homework diners in all of Southwest Lower Michigan!

Trash.. highly disappointment most places don’t have any other options when it comes to people not eating pork and they do not so when I asked for a substitute they only had corned beef hash so thought I’d give that a try but they didn’t give me my potatoes that came with the meal and the waffle had no butter with it and was soggy no crisp at all. Waste of money and didn’t feel very welcoming when going in. It was all bad in my opinion

As a world traveler today I found a diamond in the ruff. Michelle and staff truly know how to treat someone. The cook was short but mighty in the kitchen. She made the 10 eggs exactly how I asked. No butter bonded oils and nothing broke. If you’re ever in Watervliet you have gotta try this cafe. To the staff and customers thanks for making my day. I’ll definitely be back.

Refused to even acknowledge or greet me and stood at the entrance for several minutes. Felt like I was intruding on a good Ole boys club. So I left, Will NOT be back!
