Penelope's has been my go to for years now. The food is great. And the prices are unbeatable. There is usually a little bit of a wait on the weekends, but it will be well worth it!

Visited on a Saturday about noon. The place was packed with people.Food arrived a bit cold but was good.I had the Penelope's Combo for something like $12. Chicken fried steak, gravy, pancakes, eggs,Parking: Apparently the virtually always empty coin car wash has problems with people parking from Penelope's as there are lots of we tow signs in the common lot and a warning on Penelope's door about the towing.

I like to start with the best part of the experience! Service wins here!Service 5* The cafe was super busy, the servers were working their tails off trying to get food out and make sure customers were taken care of. Our server was very friendly and checked in a few times throughout the meal.Atmosphere 4* On a Sunday morning it was super busy, which is always a good sign! Restaurant was clean, a few places inside for parties to wait on a table. I like that you just sign in yourself. ?I personally don’t like the small tables right next to others. I enjoy a little space between me and other diners. It was a colder morning, think in the 30’s. With all the people in and out I never could get comfortable, even leaving my jacket on the whole meal.Food: 4* Eggs, hash browns, and toast were great! Over easy eggs were cooked well, hash browns were crispy. I was really excited for the funnel cake French toast, however it had an over oily taste to it. Not sure if it was older oil, or just wasn’t drained after pulling.Husband said his chicken fried steak was similar to other restaurants. I enjoyed the crispy shell, but the gravy was not my favorite due to the consistency.I would try this restaurant again, we were talking with a family in the waiting area (before eating) and they go here every Sunday. Heard another server say “see ya next Sunday” to another customer as they were leaving. They clearly have great service here and connection with customers.Parking: Went on a Sunday morning around 9:45am, they were in all fairness super busy! Parking lot is smaller. There is residential streets nearby you can park on as well, we ended up parking over a block down due to how busy they were.
